About
Restaurante Rias Altas is a small, long-established cafe on Calle de Atocha in central Madrid serving traditional Spanish food and drinks at moderate prices. The space feels crowded, and the decor is worn. Reviews are sharply divided on the food quality: some praise the Paella Marinera and Caldo Gallego, while others found the dishes poorly executed and flavourless. Service has been inconsistent, with some reviewers reporting good waiters and others describing slow, inattentive or unwelcoming treatment.
The restaurant has two floors and is open from early morning until late evening daily. There is no information about wifi, outlets, or whether working with a laptop is welcome.
