"A Must-Visit Gem in Madrid – Atmosphere and Flavors That Impress"
WONDERFUL – that’s the word that sums up our entire experience. From the moment we walked in, everything was top quality: the setting, the ambiance, the service, and especially the food. The menu is constantly evolving, which adds an exciting twist to each visit. We went for dinner, and the cozy atmosphere created by candlelit tables made the evening feel truly special. It was hard to get a reservation, but we were determined — and it was absolutely worth the effort. Every dish we tried was exceptional, but a special mention goes to the coconut foam with mango spaghetti and lime, ginger, and celery ice cream — a creative and delicious combination. This is definitely one of Madrid’s trendiest dining spots right now, and not to be missed!
"Long-Awaited Visit with Mixed Results"
We had high hopes for Fismuler, especially after years of anticipation and rave reviews about their famous schnitzel. Unfortunately, while it wasn’t bad by any means, it didn’t quite live up to our expectations — we had imagined something crispier and more flavorful. That said, we were pleasantly surprised by several of the other dishes, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Service-wise, there’s room for improvement. A bit more attention and context around the menu would have added to the experience, especially for a place with such a strong culinary identity. Overall, a decent visit, but not quite the standout we had envisioned.
"Good Food, But Disappointed by Pushy Recommendations"
The restaurant itself is lovely and the food is generally good. I didn’t enjoy the cheesecake, but that’s just a personal preference — I’m not a fan of blue cheese. What really put a damper on the experience was the server’s recommendation. We were two people and had already chosen a rice dish and the schnitzel to share. The server (or “food advisor”) told us that wouldn’t be enough and strongly suggested we add the trout starter for an additional €18. We trusted the recommendation and went along with it, as you would in most places. However, halfway through the schnitzel, we were already full — we ended up regretting the trout completely. My husband still insisted on trying the cheesecake, which only added to how uncomfortably full we felt by the end. And we’re not light eaters! It felt like the server either didn’t know the portion sizes well or was just pushing the trout dish. I even overheard him recommending it to another table. The rest of the staff was genuinely friendly, but the experience felt overly guided by upselling rather than guest satisfaction.
"Excellent Food Undermined by Rushed and Poor Service"
The food here is truly exceptional – high-quality ingredients, beautifully executed dishes, and a stylish atmosphere make it a standout culinary experience. Unfortunately, the service doesn't match the quality of the kitchen. While it’s understandable that the restaurant operates with timed seatings, the constant pressure from the staff made the meal feel rushed. Our waiter pushed us to order quickly, discouraged us from ordering an extra dish, and cleared plates without asking if we were finished – even when we weren’t. Despite the amazing food, the lack of respectful and relaxed service left a negative impression, and sadly, we won’t be returning.
"Excellent Meal with Fresh, Creative Dishes and Great Service"
We came on a Thursday night right at opening, and the place was already packed — always a good sign. The food was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. We especially enjoyed the artichokes, blue crab and red rice, sea bass with greens, and a delicious kimchi dish. Four dishes were more than enough for two. The service was friendly and attentive, and the weekly-changing menu keeps things exciting. Pricing was reasonable considering the quality. Highly recommended!
"Good Food, But Overhyped Experience at Fismuler"
Our visit to Fismuler left us with mixed feelings — while some dishes stood out, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to the buzz surrounding the restaurant. We started with the Ostra al ponzu chorizero, which was a letdown — we've had much better oysters at local markets. The cabbage dish, on the other hand, was a delightful surprise and easily the highlight of the meal; the sauce underneath was outstanding. The tartar de atún lacked flavor and didn’t leave much of an impression. The Escalope San Roman was a strong finish — flavorful and generously portioned, one serving was enough for the two of us. In total, the bill came to around $130 USD, including four beers and one cocktail. It wasn’t a bad meal by any means, but given the hype, we expected more. While we appreciated some elements, it’s not a place we’d hurry back to.
