About this place El Social

El Social is a casual restaurant on Calle de Hernán Cortés in Chueca, with a menu that leans Argentine and Mediterranean: skirt steak, mussels, empanadas and a popular brunch. It is a mainstream gay-friendly restaurant rather than a gay venue, though in Chueca the crowd is naturally mixed. It rates 4.8 from more than 3,000 Google reviews, and prices are moderate for the quality. It gets busy at weekend brunch and at Madrid dinner hours (from about 9pm), so book or arrive early. The Chueca bars are on the doorstep for afterwards.

We had an incredibly delicious meal! Be sure to try the mussels and the steak. To round off the fun evening, you get a homemade shot on the house, which is truly fantastic. The secret ingredients that make the shot so special are still a mystery to us ;)

I went on the recommendation of friends, and everything was excellent. The sea bass with cauliflower puree was very good. If you're ever in Madrid, don't miss it!

The food was good, the service was good. That is, until we didn't order dessert and were rather rudely asked to leave our reserved table so other guests could take our place. We didn't even have time to finish our wine glasses, which were only a quarter full. In short: El Asocial!
