Came on a Tuesday afternoon, easy reservations.
You can either do classic 10 horse tasting menu or else there's a 14 course menu that they take cuisine around the world and use Spanish style cooking. My favorite dishes were 1) the Iberian pork shoulder with foie gras, mustard, ice cream, and oyster: the mustard ice cream was just a shot to the senses, the pork so tender and juicy all mixed together and 2) wild sea bass - with sweet tart, seemingly cranberry and garnish, the crispy skin, the slightly charred sea bass This was excellent, cannot recommend highly enough. The senses were all delighted, the history of the dishes, the service.

El Club Allard is an elegant restaurant in Madrid that's fairly popular for its Spanish haute cuisine. We made reservations well ahead of our trip, and arrived early for lunch for a meal that differed from our typical tapas fare.We had the Rendezvous Menu which consisted of 10 unique dishes inspired by international flavours. I was a bit disappointed to miss out on the fish bowl but the imaginative edible cards, fish soup in beer glass, hibiscus flower and liquid N2 made for interesting presentations. Pork shoulder was crispy and succulent, sea bass fillet was fresh, and squid risotto was filled with ocean flavours. All were plated stunningly with the attention to detail expected of a high-end restaurant. The chef (Maria Marte) definitely cared for the guests' experience.The restaurant was worthy of its retained two Michelin stars. Everything from food to service and ambience was refined, and we were well taken care of if not blown away by the interesting flavours.

Definitely get the full tasting menu as the peas and the pork dishes it includes were easily my favorite. Best meal I had in Spain over the course of a week. This place is amazing! Every dish was presented like a work of art. The peas with sea urchin and pigeon ham course was to die for. The dashi was a straight shot of umami. The tendons with langoustine were an unexpected treat. Pheasant was good. Iberico pork medium rare was amazing, too! The olive oil and butter paired with the bread were exquisite. Special shoutout to the somm who created a fun blind tasting for us.

Simply amazing meal! Starting from the presentation of the food and ending with meal itself being fantastic. The dishes are fantastic and prepared with a lot of imagination. Highly recommend to both locals and tourists.

María Marte definitely makes the whole dining experience unforgettable. And a very pleasant surprise was to find the Palo Cortado from Bodegas Tradición as part of the sherries offered. All in all a fantastic restaurant.

We always book a splurge meal for each trip and decided on Club Allard for our Spain vacation. My husband is not into anything too avant-garde so that narrowed down some choices. A draw for me is chef Maria Marte. She is not only the only female chef in Madrid with any Michelin stars but her story of starting off as an immigrant dish washer and now worked her way up to the head chef is awesome. The restaurant is very close to Plaza Espana and the royal palace. You enter a building in the corner and it doesn't seem quite like a restaurant from the entry. The dining room is light in color, tons of space between the tables for privacy. It's certainly a posh place and I recommend a jacket for the men. There are 2 choices for the tasting meals, a shorter 10 course "Rendezvous" and a longer 14 course "Seduction". We opted for the later. The wine list was also extensive and to be honest really reasonable priced for this caliber of restaurant. We saw a lot of bottles priced around 50 euros, and I don't think I saw any quadruple digits (at least not in the Spain section anyways). Our waiter helped us pick up 2 bottles of Spanish red that are less well known but were both fantastic. Ended up being cheaper than getting the wine pairings.Ok now the courses:Starters:- Smoked Eel with Coconut - My husband usually does not like eel and he loved this dish. The eel is very light in flavor here but the smokiness and coconut flavors paired well.- Red King Prawn Bombon - Looks like a Godiva truffle but even prettier. Interesting but slightly fishy for us.- Shot of Butter Fish and White Asparagus - Wow, I was expecting fishy because it's well a shot of fish, but the flavors were awesome, lots of umami.- Quail Egg and Truffle Cupcake - The playful "classroom" theme started here. I made the mistake of biting the cupcake in half and dripped the delicious filling all over, what a waste! Haha.- Norway Lobster - Man oh man, this was by far the best bite of shrimp/lobster/crawfish spectrum of shellfish I've ever had. Just incredibly tender. I could make a whole dinner out of this for sure. Best bite of the night!- Comte Cheese Soup - A nice soup, was just ok relative to rest of the menu.- "Sea Rice" - A painstakingly chopped up piece of calamari made to resemble a line of rice, lots of sea flavors.- Venison with Chen-Chen Sand - Probably my least favorite of the meal, the venison was somehow on the mealy side for me.Main dishes:- Baked Turbot - Excellently cooked piece of fish with sauces of seasonable veggies on the side.- Wagyu Picanha - Super tender beef and a very rich and flavorful sauce.Desserts:- Hibiscus Flower and Pisco Sour - Almost too pretty to eat! Tasted just like pisco sour.- Cheese in 2 textures - Less memorable of the desserts- Creamed chocolate - A couple different consistencies in this plate made it interesting.- "Blackboard" - The signature ending here. A bunch of sugar candy things that you can actually write on the board with and eat. Fun!During the dessert course, they brought us an extra big board of sweets to eat with our fingers because it was our anniversary celebration. Really awesome!Overall, we had a fantastic meal here with fabulous food and wine. The service was also top notch. While not every single bite was WOW, there were many that were very memorable. If each bite was sensational, then I would expect 3 stars, but to be honest, I haven't had that at 3 star establishments either. But we certainly appreciate the excellent cooking and a good amount of creativity. And for the caliber of the food? I think the price is a steal compared to the US restaurants!
Be the first to ReplyFantastic meal.
And great service.We came here to enjoy our last evening in Madrid. We both got the 14 course meal and enjoyed every plate.And unfortunately I had a bad headache hit me through the meal, the kind that makes you nauseous. The restaurant was very attentive and helpful through that, and helped make our evening very enjoyable. And even through that, I could taste each plate and enjoy the beautiful flavors.I would highly recommend this fine establishment to anyone visiting Madrid.

Maria Martes worked some serious magic at our dinner here. Serious complements to her for catering her menu to a vegetarian. Each vegetarian dish was unique and more amazing than the last. The wine pairings were beyond worth it - our sommelier made our dinner even more wonderful by pairing wines, catering to our experiences (asking about where we were from, what we had tried and liked, and also introducing us to new varietals -- all with serious flexibility and flair). I can't recommend this place enough, completely worth the cost (and perhaps even the cost of the trip to Madrid).
Be the first to ReplyEl Club Allard is on par with most Michelin restaurants I
El Club Allard is on par with most Michelin restaurants I have been to. We did the 12 course prefix. Price was reasonable. Presentation was aesthetically pleasing (see my photos). The service was satisfactory. Each course came out at a great pace. The rhyme of water and wine refill was also satisfactory. Food was... good but nothing extremely memorable. The reason I deducted one star was because: 1. We asked our waiter for cocktail/martini menu, the waiter said we don't serve cocktail and gave us the wine menu. 5 mins later we saw the table next to us getting a gin and tonic and martinis. I was baffled, my initial justification was maybe our waiter didn't understand English very well, but if he didn't then he should not have said there isn't. I later waved him down and asked him why he told us no cocktail and pointed at the table next to us. He said "me no understand". Hmmm...2. Maybe I am from LA and spoiled by all the good restaurants. I thought the food was just okay... some courses were semi interesting, but nothing memorable. Places like Bazaar, Alexander's or Bestia had more innovative dishes than this Michelin ** restaurant. 3. Finally, just a pet peeve of mine, being Michelin **, I expect impeccable service etiquette. When presenting each course to the table, there should be two waiters/butlers and present the course for each guest simultaneously. I noticed this was very inconsistent during our dinner. When the butler was busy, our waiter brought out my course first then my hubby's. Overall, it was still a good dining experience, but prob my first and last time.
Be the first to ReplyHow do you rate a culinary journey that surpasses all
How do you rate a culinary journey that surpasses all expectations and experiences? I can only say that in my opinion, El Club Allard provided an well-deserving Michelin 2 star experience, with only a few drawbacks and extra tips. It's always difficult to write an extensive review on tasting menus, especially with the ever evolving nature of this business. I'd actually just refer to my particular menu list and the refer to the pictures for your viewing pleasures. Needless to say, all of the flavors were novel, wholesome and pleasantly familiar at times. Every protein feature was melt-in-your mouth delightful, and more importantly, filling as well. The chef personally came out and greeted us at the end of the meal and even allowed us to take a picture with her. Despite her short stature, her accomplishment and humility is to be emulated and revered.Now, despite the glowing review, there are some other aspects that should be addressed for a restaurant of this caliber. First of all, not speaking any Spanish was a bit problematic here, as much of the description (at least during the first half of the dinner) was sparse and carried no magic. However, this changed drastically when our sommelier showed up more often and explained the dishes and our second waiter was much more engaging and personally more excitable. The overall decor is quite serene, but formal and reminded me of Alinea, in that the mood caters to a more, no-nonsense crowd. Finally, they do charge extras for tea at the end...which...I am not sure how I feel as I had already paid several hundred Euros for this meal.At the end of the day, the experience was one of the finest dining journeys I have taken, and despite our disagreement with our first waiter and his indifference, we left feeling very fulfilled and enlightened.Food: 5 starsService: 4-5 starsAmbiance: 4-5 starsPrice: it's michelin...

Just enjoyed a dining experience at El Club Allard to celebrate my wife's birthday. Hands down one of the top three or four meals in my life. Next time in Madrid, this will be a first stop. The third Michelin star is not far away.
