Neighbourhood: Castellana
Description: El Gordo de Velázquez, a restaurant whose name and image are inspired by the novel The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens, is the fruit of Carmen Sinovas' passion for cooking. Investor in several businesses and regular customer of the catering and gourmet shop Semon (referent of the best Catalan cuisine in Madrid), she decided a few months ago to support one of her fetishes cooks in the attainment of her vital dream: to develop her own style Culinary, in a place of which he is co-owner and for which he has made a letter of the most personal, including some of his most mythical creations such as Semon truffled cannelloni or Jockey eggplant cake.

Good food, especially the tempura shrimps. Reasonable prices and good staff with okay service. Went there 2 Times. The first time we were amazed about everything, second time not as amazed. Over all the best restaurant we visited during our stay.

My sister and I ate there on the first night of our weekend in Madrid and loved it so much we booked in the following night with my niece. We all enjoyed our food and the staff were charming.

Good service, even with a fullt booked terrace they found us a table outside. Nice atmosphere both onside and outside. Really tasty food, especially the chopped tempura shrimps with asparagus. Affordable dishes and drinks.

The food was good but the service was not. There was such a long wait between the first and second course that I had to get up and see what was happening. Shame really...it was a birthday lunch and we felt let down.
