Fantastic chill-out bar & restaurant in Madrid

Coming to Madrid you should definitely stop by Válgame Dios - Terraza & Salon on Augusto Figueroa 43 (Chueca area).

If you are into a relaxed and cozy atmosphere without compromising on quality and style then Válgame Dios is most likely to be an obvious place to visit.

Of cool features I would like to mention:
  • An hidden area with a huge wooden rustic style dining table, which create the perfect setting if you plan a dinner with 8 - 10 persons. 
  • In the 'common' area you'll find soft gun metal grey sofas; I just love sinking into one of them and enjoy an afternoon gin & tonic. 
Talking design I want to mention the wallpaper in the toilets - yes I know, it's strange - check it out it's really cool.

The prices are not among the most competitive in Madrid, nor even in the area, but I guess the owners have poured a lot of resources into the design and rebuilding (used to be a clothing shop).

The service is OK though a bit on the arrogant side, I’ve never understood the mixture of being a waiter and arrogant is beyond me, and how any owner can accept this.

The food quality and taste is fine but the portions are way too small. I bought a hamburger (which was rather small) and got three, 3, tres small potatoes! By the way, I paid 12 euro!

All things considered I recommend you to visit Válgame Dios, if not for the food then to enjoy the atmosphere and a gin & tonic.

Finally, their phone number is 91 7010 341.
