About this place Gloria Bendita

Gloria Bendita is a Spanish restaurant at Calle de Santiago 3 in central Madrid, between Sol and the Palacio Real. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly place, not a gay venue. Rice dishes are what people come for: reviewers single out the mixed paella and the rice with salt cod, and they also mention Iberian pork buns and salads. There is a reasonable wine list. Prices are mid-range. With almost 4,900 Google reviews at 4.6, it gets busy. Paella is cooked to order, so expect a wait and book ahead at peak lunch and dinner times. It is an easy stop after visiting the palace or the Almudena cathedral.

Great little stop after the Palacio! Our server, Lea, was amazing and we felt so well taken care of. We had a lovely salad and some wings, and of course, some wonderful wine.
