Azotea del Círculo

Avoid the Restaurant – Go Only for the View Our experience at Azotea del Círculo was extremely disappointing. First, you’re required to pay €6 just to go up to the restaurant, which would be fine if the experience matched the cost—but it absolutely did not. The service was some of the worst I’ve ever encountered. There were about five servers for only a handful of tables, yet they constantly ignored guests, avoided eye contact, and rushed straight to the kitchen to dodge customer interaction. When we tried flagging them down, they would walk away or act as if we weren’t there. One server even spilled water all over our food and table while pouring, and instead of apologizing or offering to help, he carried on as if nothing had happened. We ended up cleaning up the mess ourselves with dinner napkins, which he never replaced. It took an unreasonable amount of time to get our order taken, request additional items, or receive any attention at all. The servers had a consistently rude and dismissive attitude that made the whole experience unpleasant. The food itself was mediocre and overpriced—not terrible, but definitely not worth the hassle. The only redeeming quality here is the rooftop view, which is stunning. My recommendation: skip the restaurant entirely. If you want to enjoy the view, go up for cocktails at the bar, but don’t waste your time or money on the dining experience.

€6 per person to visit the terrace, had to queue on the ground floor to go up. View was great. Not easy to find a table. Recommended for a drink once if you haven’t been. Go upon opening time.

Very, very popular so avoid weekends and holidays. Best to go a little early if you want a place in the evening. There is a queue to go up, but it's not too bad. This is Madrid's most historic rooftop bar... under the watchful eyes of the goddess Minerva and her Owl since 1966. A wonderful experience ! Don't miss it !

This is absolutely the most breathtaking rooftop bar I’ve ever been on. I was super lucky and was able to get a table because it was a chillier night, but I bet this place is completely packed during the summer. Both of my martini’s were fantastic, and it’s a great place to come up and unwind at after work. Beautiful, just beautiful.

Amazing experience with kind and helpful staff! We had all our luggages with us and moved to 3 locations on the roof during our stay. 🙈 It was not easy but we got all the help! ❤️ The dishes were amazing! I had the Octopus for lunch and the cheesecake for dessert! 🫠 The cheesecake is a mist try as it is made on a rare way and can be mixed with wathever you like. I can highly recommend the place! 🙏🏻😍 Dont forget to book in advance otherwise you will be extra charged with a ticket to visit the rooftop!
