Estimar Madrid Reviews
Not recommended, very expensive.
The restaurant is located near Atocha Street. Modern place, although very tight and noisy. Friendly service, but in the style of a lot of pretense and little efficiency. Load of unpretentious seafood, and other viands of apparent luxury. Low quality and exorbitant prices. Not recommended.
Definitely aspires to star
Located on one side of the Congress of Deputies, it is an advisable experience: Well decorated, spacious, quiet and not crowded place. Professional and correct attention. Speed and agility in service. The food is fine and very well prepared, although the menu is not excessive. Based mainly on fish and grilled preparations, it is designed to share all requests. Highlight the flan, a recommendation from the waitress, which is simply sensational. The downside is the cost since the prices are relatively high, although given the quality, it is not a demerit.
Absolutely fabulous, intimate, and delicious spot.
Everything was sooo fresh and beautifully presented. Make sure to make a reservation as this place is small. Wine list was spectacular too
100% disappointment
I add a ticket of €248 for 2 people. Something is expensive or cheap, so my pocket tells me when it comes to paying. If I can't pay it it will be expensive in relation to my purchasing power. But something can also be expensive if it is not worth what I paid or they want to charge. In this case this site does not live up to what they charge. Tables of 2 close together with a minimum distance that makes it difficult to have the slightest privacy. It looks like communal tables like a campsite. That cannot be allowed by a restaurant that intends to charge a cover where I pay €130 per person to start. The service was correct without further ado. The right product. My table attached to the literal bathroom.!!!!!!!! Coats are hung in the men's bathroom, so the door opens all the time. Can you imagine it? How awful!!!!! Noisy in general, you hear everything even if you don't want to since the distance between tables is minimal. The prices are set per 100 grams and when you order a turbot, as in our case, it weighs almost 1 kilo without previously telling us how much it would weigh. Scandalous!!!! This restaurant must consider changing many things of course. The client does not leave happy!!!!! Do you feel that Estimar rips you off?!!!! You should know!!!!! It is not just destructive criticism! It's for you to take note!!! Thank you so much. I will not return, much less recommend the experience.
Awful sewage smell at very expensive ESTIMAR MADRID
REALLY AWFUL experience. Booked via THE FORK, we were assigned a table and there was an awful smell coming from the toilets. Spoke to the manager to change table. We were told that if we did not like it we were free to leave..... After we were told that Rafa, the owner, had been informed about the toilet smell and nothing had been done. They have had several complaints about sewage smell at the restaurant and they just could not be bothered. It was my third time at Estimar. I think food is totally overrated and staff a bit arrogant. Bad relationship quality / price and total disrespect to their customers. How can you sell a table next to a smelly toilet in a top tier restaurant? Needless to say we left and ended up going to a restaurant near where we had a wonderful and very pleasant dinner.
From another world
Unique experience from start to finish. Varied and dedicated options. Tidal wave blew my mind. The raw material is the star
In clear decline!
It started out as a great product reference, it still has a good product, but no longer the best in the capital, it no longer has the excellent calibers, nor the expected freshness. Obviously, and with the success achieved by its owners/partners, they do not stop opening restaurants and doing gigs all over the world... but above all, because finding Rafa Zafra or Ricardo here is because there is a VERY BUT VERY IMPORTANT VIP (like Barack Obama in Barcelona with Spielberg and Bruce S.) otherwise you have a correct service, they don't know the clientele... and Juanma Galan, a few weeks ago he left the group at the beginning of the opening of Rural (in which he was a partner) WHAT A LOST, And this is a big loss, it was the soul of the restaurant… in short, a restaurant with a poor quality/price ratio. Rafa and Anna are dedicated to enjoying success by publishing their ostentatious life (with their new and respective partners) around the world…. This is not what it was. I give a normal, because of the great meals I had here... to live off Jondal, because I don't predict a great future here
The sea at another level
Spectacular quality and service. Excellent raw material with that sublime touch of differentiating ember. It is worth repeating to explore all the options.
Overpriced and so so
We had high expectations for a great meal, but were let down. While food was ok, hardly worth the $285 for a dinner for two. Ambience is not a top high end restaurant level and service was fair.
Do not waste your money.
The food was so overpriced and not very good and very basic. Spices and sauces were lacking. Two shrimp “ red prawns from Rose” cost 28 euro! My husband enjoyed his three bites but I gave mine to him after my first unpleasant bite. Ambience was also lousy. Tables very close together and my husband’s seat faced the kitchen door that continued to open and close. We moved tables but then sat right next to the bathrooms that did not smell very good. Another couple also moved their seats.
Very expensive
We had a lunch booking for 1.15. We arrived at 1.10 to be turned away by staff smoking outside saying they don’t open until 1.15. We wandered the streets in the heat debating whether we should cancel as that doesn’t give the best first impression. However, once inside, we were given a great table with a view of the chefs working. The fresh fish was on display and it was excellent quality. Staff were friendly and attentive. Our razor clams were on the rubbery side but our prawns and our sea bream were cooked to perfection. Wine choices were good. Unfortunately prices were steep (€48 for two medium prawns 😳) and for two people we paid over £300 in total. We had better meals with better value elsewhere hence our rating.
Out of Country Review - SpainOur final dinner in Spain was
Out of Country Review - SpainOur final dinner in Spain was at Estimar on Monday night. We went out with a bang at this amazing and intimate seafood spot.Quality: An excellent upscale seafood experience. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The Crayfish Carpaccio despite its odd color was wonderful. The Pickled Skewers were my favorite bite of the evening. The Cantabrian Anchovies were tremendous and should not be skipped. Both the Razor Clams and the Sauteed Clams showcased flavor mastery. And the Scorpion Fish entree and how it was served was incredible.Quantity: Good size dishes.Value: Expensive.Ambiance: Estimar is a small seafood restaurant located in the El Born neighborhood of Barcelona. It is on the backroad of a backroad, so prepare some time to locate it. The inside is very small and the kitchen is built around the dining space. This puts you in the middle of the action and heavily involved in your neighbors dinner. Crowd: Extremely small space, every seat filled.Service: Exemplary.
Michelin star quality restaurant
Super cool cuisine, very creative and original. The service is perfect. Price is quite high though, almost at Michelin star restaurant level.
Subpart quality of service and food compared to Barcelona restaurant
Went in expecting same level of finesse as the Barcelona restaurant but it was probably one of the most underwhelming expeience. As most of the 2-3 star reviews mention, they care more about selling dishes and charge you rather than quality. The main menu that we came to this place for (chipotos con mayonesa) wasn’t even available (plus 4 others dishes) and our reservation was the first when it opened. The service was sub part when they realize you do not like their food, rather than rectifying why you may not like it, along with purposely making you wait as if that will change your mind magically. The servers were probably the only good aspect of being attentive other than their fries. It’s one thing being expensive, but serving subpar food for what’s charged is outrageous. We had way better food experience at Ten Con Ten & Juana La Loca where both service and food are terrific and puts this place to shame. TLDR: The Barcelona Estimar restaurant is excellent sadly the Madrid one is subpar.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Estimar Madrid at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Estimar Madrid page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at Estimar Madrid to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Estimar Madrid!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
