We went to La Fragua de Vulcano based on the positive reviews here in tripadvisor and the nice looks of it when we checked it in the afternoon before deciding. I have to say that this is the average tourist restaurant you can find anywhere in the aea, which is crowded with typical Spansh restaurants. is is located in the... more

The food is basically tapas and you sit on stools or benches rather than proper chairs. The building is quite old. The eating area is quite small and if anyone is smoking it is quite uncomfortable. The food was OK and service was very quick. more

After reading all the reviews raving about this place, we were happily surprised to find it located minutes from our hotel. So first night we went for dinner.

Just off ( 10m ) a fun square with flamenco dancers and couple of small playgrounds for kids. Lots of cabs around for when... more

The service was... more

Good food. Good service. Fun place to eat, Don't be put off if it's busy, the waiters are friendly (and patient with broken spanish), so just wait at the bar for a table or eat at the bar. more

A great place for having fabulous "Gambas a la plancha" or the well known "Callos a la madrilena". For shure a must for who loves tapas y canas. Very good price also. more

We happened on La Fragua de Vulcano while in Madrid a few weeks ago. It was a happy, bustling place, filled with locals as well as tourists. We had great paella (a large dish had just been brought out to the bar), and great Gambas a la Plancha. Very inexpensive for what we got (16 to 20 euros, I think),... more
