Los Chuchis

Cute little place with good homey food. Both the chicken and shepherd’s pie were really satisfying. Wish we could eat more but it was physically impossible. Will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu!

Two guys running this lovely little cafe/bar/restaurant. One of them speaks perfect English, he might even be English. I stopped here when I had 3 hours in Madrid to kill and it was perfect. Menu del Dia very reasonably priced with the best coffee to finish. The cod on big potatoes was delicious and felt very healthy compared to some more traditional Menu del Dias. Only critique is that it was a little over salted. They do give you a litre of ice cold water along with your complimentary drink so you won’t go thirsty. Lavapies is a great neighbourhood and when I’m back I’ll definitely visit Los Chuchis again!

Me and some friends went here last weekend in a tracking down of the quintessential English Sunday roast. The five of us have been living in Madrid over the last couple of months and we were looking for a taste of home. Los Chuchis is an English cuisine-inspired bar in central Madrid serving a variety of dishes as part of a menu del día. We were given a choice of four starters (pate, roasted potato skins +2 more that I can't remember) and four mains (roast pork, roast chicken, fish soup, veggie curry). We all opted to go for just the roast pork. With a drink included this was 13.50€, but it would have been 10.50€ during the week. The pork was absolutely delicious. It was perhaps a little stingy on the potatoes and lacked other accompaniments but the texture was fantastic, it came with a gorgeous piece of crackling and a bit of apple sauce on the side. Delicious, we all really enjoyed! The plate seemed a bit small at first but we all seemed to be absolutely knackered after polishing off our plates... and I'm sure we would have been even more stuffed had we had a first course as well. The decor was cute and the staff were friendly. Most only speak Spanish but one of the waiters was English. I will definitely be coming back, and next time I will be going midweek, due to it being cheaper, and will be having both first and second courses i.e. the full menu. Looking forward to it!

I booked a dinner for three at this restaurant. I have to say, I've lived in the UK in the past and I really enjoy British food. But the dishes served in this restaurant are better than most of the meals that I've tried in average British pubs. We ordered three dishes (grilled camembert, fried potato scraps and the shepherds pie) and we enjoyed every las bit of them. The rations were large enough for the three of us to be perfectly satisfied. We also tried two desserts and both were outstanding: none of them felt too sweet, but they were tasty and really original for us. The staff was really friendly, efficient without rushing the customers. And they have some imported British beers that will feel like heaven for those who seek this kind of drink. The music and general atmosphere is one of the best in the area: the place never felt too noisy or uncomfortable, even with all its tables occupied. We absolutely loved our dinner at Los Chuchis and we'll surely be back.

The food was great and staff was very nice. Good atmosphere and good price for the food. (Also one of the guys spoke great English which was extremely helpful!)
