About
Varela Café is a traditional restaurant in central Madrid serving classic Spanish dishes, desserts and wines in an ornate, welcoming venue with a covered terrace. Reviewers praised the attentive service, elegant interior decoration, and quality of dishes like clams, salads, scallops and paella, though some found the desserts inconsistent. The atmosphere is memorable and the staff friendly, though the location on a busy street can bring some outdoor odours.
