El Jardín Secreto

"Too good not to leave a review" - my perfect friend. So fire. The espresso martini was one of the best I'd ever had. Additionally, I blacked out but all the appetizers I had were incredible. And I felt like I was one of the fairies in shreks swamp in there but I didn't feel dirty about it. I remember seeing giant cherries and my waiters name was Miguel. Love

Positives: Really quirky cute eatery with interesting decor that ranges from romantic to exotic animal. There are lots of different seating options that give you a different feel.

Negatives: They didn't have a lot that appeared on the menu, and what we did have was really underwhelming. The drinks were really watered down, and the food was...edible. I had a duck cooked in a sauce with rose, and it was overpoweringly sweet and floral to the point that I couldn't eat anymore. I really wanted to like the food because of the ambiance, but it was really disappointing.

Cute girls night / date type of place


Came here with two friends for drinks and a little dessert--- great menus for both. Fun Alice and Wonderland vibes with quirky decor and delicious (if very sweet) cocktails.

The C U T E S T little restaurant I have been to so far in Madrid! The decor is crazy, but cute and goes together so well.
We went in on a Wednesday night at around 9. They were fairly busy, but not completely packed.
The menu is so extensive! They mostly have desserts and drinks, but offer some meal options (for carnivores and herbivores) as well.

What I ordered: I got s glass of wine along with a yogurt smoothie-type dessert they have. The smoothie was yogurt based, but had a little ice, strawberry sauce, and a scoop of ice cream in it. The particular one I ordered came with walnuts and chocolate on top.
It was good, but if I ever come back I'm going to try their brownies and ice cream!

Know this first: part of the proceeds go to Doctors Across Borders (how cool!?)

Atmosphere: adorable, dim, funky, eclectic, fun date spot

Food: tons of interesting, different choices (for example: Thai salad, hummus, mushroom risotto..)

Dessert: this menu is just as long as the actual menu.... amazing. There's chocolate from multiple different countries that you can choose from and over 20 chocolate desserts... looked amazing

Drinks: known for their funky lemonades (lilac lemonade, kiwi lemonade, etc), also have really fun-sounding cocktails, and a ton of tea options

Great place. Ambiance is super cool. Love the fact that is inside the store. Food was amazing. I ordered the tikka masala chicken was delicious! The drinks were so good too. Overall a place to visit when in Madrid.

The decor for this place is INSANE, but in a good way. It is a great place to meet up with a group of people or have a first date. A group of us stopped this place to grab some drinks and a couple of bites before going to another restaurant. Our experience with the menu was kind of limited, but the little bites that we had were quite amazing. Personally, I had the potatoes au gratin (the name is much longer on the menu), and they were beautifully prepared. Although I did not have much from the menu, aside from the potatoes and multiple glasses of wine, there is a WIDE variety of options on the menu . . . for both food and drinks.

The service was OK; it was not horrible but it was not super exceptional.

This is a charming little place which was suggested by a friend from my work place. It is about 0.1 mile from the Plaza de Espana metro station. I went there on a weekday evening at around 7pm and it was packed. Had to wait for a few minutes before finding a seat and also for the food to arrive after ordering it. But it was worth the wait. The decor was amusing and the food was delicious! Their menu is extensive with a wide array of teas, coffees, alcohol and non-alcohol drinks, pastries, meat dishes and what-not. It took me a while to decide on what to get. I went with "Seduceme" drink which is a non-alcoholic mango drink with a hint of mint. It was perfect for the humid evening. Then I ordered the vegetarian couscous dish which was surprisingly delicious. I ended the meal with a sumptuous orange icecream dessert. I wanted Muerto para chocolate which they didn't have, sigh!

It seems to be a popular hangout place for young teenagers and the locals.

The food, lattes, and decor were all incredible. The nachos were delicious and I got a blue latte on the side. Overall would 100% come back and I'm so glad I tried this place.

This restaurant is great for visitors with it's funky art decor. The food was good and service was great.
