Madrid dining starts at 9pm. This is not dinner. This is an experience. No menu. You are brought the tasters, starter, main and desserts. Accompanied by paired wines. We found the tastes challenging initially but once we had a couple of bites, we 'got it'! A lightbulb moment! Ah, I see what they are doing - clever! This will not... More

All courses except One tasted weird. one was unedible. we had to give back the meat main course. it was cold, had a texture like chewing gum and an awful taste. i have to wonder where all the good reviews are...

Incredible meal, incredible value, incredible dining experience. We made reservations about a week in advance, I would recommend that. It was just really a wonderful meal, a great value ( about $80 US dollars with wine pairing) I highly recommend it and will certainly go again when I am back in Madrid.

Something a little different; the five course tasting menu with wine pairings was outstanding and at 75 euros not that expensive by European standards. The ambience is relaxing, the staff attentive and the beautiful wooden doors make for a pleasant entrance. Highly recommended.

While in Madrid I wanted a special place to celebrate my husband's birthday and we loved it. The food was fantastic, each dish was delicious not too much not too little, we chose the tasting menu & wine, it was a triumph! At the time of dessert they included a chocolate tablet with "felicidades" on it, great surprise! The service... More

Came to eat early at 8PM, first people to arrive...early dinner on a Thursday I suppose... Place had a good atmosphere and the service was great! We were seated promptly and treated very well throughout the dinner Dishes were innovative. However, some of the food was undercooked (fish, meat). And compared to some of the nicer Michelin restaurants in the... More

We spent just two nights in Madrid and wanted to maximize our dining experience. Lua was a great choice - flavorful, imaginative food with the freshest ingredients. Don't miss the faux Irish coffee - a tasty black bean soup with mushroom foam - delicious! The skate wing was also a highlight. The wine pairings were quite good - both food... More

I'll be brief... we went to Lua for my wife's birth and it was a perfect night. We were 5, 2 couples and a baby, and the service was impecable. We had the degustation menu and every single plate they brought out of their kitchen was to die for. There was only one minor thing that could be improved, their... More

We chose Lua for our first night in Spain. We were greeted in a most cordial and warm way upon entering, our coats were taken and we were ushered into a beautifully modern space with lovely handmade furniture and simple clean decor. Great wine list. We chose the 2009 Numanthia, a Toro that is one of my favorites that I... More
