Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had an outstanding experience dining at El Jardin de Orfila in Madrid. The quiet elegant atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. The wine selection was broad and excellent. The food was delicious and beautifully/artfully presented. Ivana was our server and was superb, professional, friendly and...warm. She guided us in selections of wine and food. We will definitely return on our next visit to Madrid.More

We had a throughly enjoyable meal at El Jardin de Orfila thanks in no small part to our thoughtful server Ivana and the wonderful cooking of Chef Marlon! From the atmosphere, wine selection, delicate, perfect “soft chips” with our cavier, well seasoned tar tar and...the delightful lemon dessert. Thank you Ivana and Chef Marlon, we will return.More

We told the front desk that we wanted to eat at El Jardin but as a vegetarian there was nothing on the menu I could eat. They called Chef Sandoval at home and told him. He asked me what I wanted and he would make...it just for me. Despite being a vegetarian I will eat shrimp. So I told him I wold love a shrimp pasta. He made it especially for me and it was delicious. I still think about it. That's the kind of service you will get not only at El Jardin but at the Hotel Orifila as well.More

A very special experience. Nice ambience. Good food. Good service. A negative thing which won't make us return is the fact that the degustation menu we have reserved online (we were specifically happy that it had all dishes listed when we went for this restaurant...to celebrate my birthday) has changed. 2 dishes were different and these two were the ones that we wanted the most. On top of that the changes meant that both dishes contained pork, which none of us is a fan of.More

We have eaten here a few times before. I had an amazing mushroom stew with truffles for starter, followed up with venison loin and we had just enough room to share a dessert - it was cheesecake I think. The food was excellent, my venison...would have been too rare for some people - I asked for it to be cooked as the chef recommended but probably should have asked for medium rare. We had a glass of wine rather than sharing a bottle. The restaurant is very comfortable and quite formal so it is nice to dress up a bit to come here. The waiters are very attentive. We came on a Saturday night and there were very few diners so not much atmosphere which is a shame but in the 6 or 8 times I have dined here it has never been very busy.More

Whether you choose a taxi, subway or walking, it is very convenient.The famous shopping street Serrano is also very close to the hotel.

Here you can find one of the best brunch in Madrid, I especially like “Sandoval’s Toast”.If the weather is nice, I suggest you to sit on the terrace or garden to enjoy this amazing brunch.

We come to eat here every time we stay in the hotel. The decor is beautiful and the service is very attentive. They have changed the menu and I have to say there are now more dishes that appeal to me. I had duck and...my wife had Turbot. The quality and taste was amazing. We also had some amazing amuse bouche. For dessert we shared a dark chocolate cake and what was described as a souffle with meringue. We had a glass of wine each and coffee with delicious petit fours. All in all it was a super experience and for about Euro 50 each (two courses, wine and coffee) it was fantastic value.More

This is an excellent restaurant in a small room, tastefully decorated with an outside terrace for dining al fresco. I generally do not like hotel dining but El Jardin is an outstanding exception. The menu changes frequently and is the product of a creative and...meticulous chef. I had a warm tuna tatare made from the jaw/cheek of the tuna surrounded by tuna sashimi all caressed by a light pomegranate sauce. It would be difficult to recommend dishes since the choices change quite frequently. If I lived in the neighborhood I suspect I would be a regular.More
