자리가 없어 와인보관공간 일부를 개조한 지하 공간에서 식사를 했는데, 지하 공간 서빙 담당 직원이 매우 친절했습니다. 서툴지만 손님의 언어로 최대한 응대해주시려는 유쾌한 모습이 좋았습니다. 이름은 묻지 못했지만 좋은 직원분이었고 음식은 역시 새로웠습니다. 안심 스테이크도 맛있었어요.

Passano gli anni, resta sempre una garanzia!!! Uno dei miei posti preferiti di Madrid!!! Ogni volta che ci torno è un piacere immenso...

My husband was craving tapas very late at night.. this was one of the few that was still open late so we went in. The atmosphere was great, service was great and the food was overall good (I love their chorizo).. there was someone at the piano that sang and played tunes encouraging everyone to partake in the festivities. We were very pleased with how our night turned out at Meson Del Champinon and will certainly return the next time we’re back in the area. Btw, our waiter was the guy in the middle of the painting on the wall, it was quite funny once we realized it and he confirmed. Great service, food, and atmosphere. Must try!

Impossível não amar este lugar. A comida é excelente! O atendimento é perfeito. Todos muito gentis e amigáveis. Recomendo demais.

This is an essential stop on any Madrid tapas tour, offering a nostalgic and lively atmosphere tucked into a cavernous space just steps from Plaza Mayor. The restaurant is legendary for its signature dish: grilled mushroom caps stuffed with a savory morsel of chorizo, doused in garlic and lemon. We also ordered the anchovies, chorizo and the hake, each of them were good, the anchovies need a special mention!

Madrid’de mutlaka uğramanız gereken yerlerden biri, Yemekleri gerçekten çok lezzetli, özellikle mantarları ve kalamar tavası çok güzel ve lezzetli. Ortamı da çok keyifli, insan kendini rahat hissediyor. Yolunuz Madrid’e düşerse mutlaka uğrayın, pişman olmazsınız! 🍄🦑

マドリード行くなら絶対に行くべき。 平日の夜に来店。 予約なしだったが、5分ほどで席に案内された。 混んでる店内に入って行き、店員に2名と伝えれば大抵行けそう。（運悪ければ少し待つ） マッシュルームは激ウマ、こんなに美味いマッシュルームは食べたことないです。 1皿とビール頼みましたが、我慢できずもう1皿注文しました。 店内は異常なくらい騒がしいので人との会話はほぼ出来ません。 1人1皿くらいが丁度良いです。

Absolutely amazing experience! The mushrooms were incredibly juicy, with a small touch of ham that added such a rich, delicious layer of flavor — perfectly balanced and so satisfying. On top of the great food, the service was outstanding. I accidentally left my bag behind, and one of the waiters kindly ran after us to return it. I’m so grateful for his kindness and attentiveness — truly above and beyond!

양송이랑 안심 스테이크 시켰는데 진짜루 맛있습니다,,,, 짠거 싫으신 분들은 좀 짤수 있지만 저한텐 괜찮은 정도!! 1층 안쪽 테이블 자리 앉았고, Miguel 서버님이 메인으로 담당하셨는데 너무너무너무너무 친절하셨어요…🥹🥹 원래는 그냥 한 두잔 정도 마시고 일어날 생각이였는데 너무 친절하시고 맛있어서 먹다보니 인당 4잔씩 마셨네용..👍🏻👍🏻 분위기도 좋고 너무 좋은 시간 보내다가 갑니당!! ¡Muchas gracias por todo el servicio, Miguel! ¡Fuimos muy felices gracias a ustedes! ¡Que siempre les vaya muy bien en todo!
