We checked in late to the Palace Hotel here in Madrid and decided to have dinner at La Rotonda in the hotel. Great choice! The starters (Iberico ham, sardines, beef carpaccio) were shared and excellent. Mains were iberico tenderloin and a rice dish. All was wonderful—as was the excellent bottle of Crianza. The space is exquisite, with it central rotonda and old world elegance. We have also eaten breakfast each morning in La Rotonda. Excellent!! Staff is brilliant; food excellent. Highest recommendation!!

Had an outstanding brunch in this restaurant while listening to 2 marvellous opera singers. Try their foie gras in white chololate - I never in my life had a food experience like this - it exploded in my mouth - in the best thinkable way - it was like the best ever art to the tasting senses... There was soooo many options on the buffet - I may have tried half of them - but everything I tasted was incredibly good!

La Rotonda has the most lavish, delicious breakfasts!! Excellent wait staff and welcoming hosts. It is comfortable, airy, open, opulent, delightful. It was the perfect start to each day and was a memorable part of our stay in Madrid.
