About AS MATILDES
As Matildes opened recently in Arcade and arrived fully formed—a restaurant that doesn't apologise for what it is. You're eating aged beef, wagyu cecina, fresh seafood, and desserts that justify their own menu section in a luminous, sober dining room where the staff actually know what they're talking about. The wine list is extensive and carefully chosen. Reviewers praise the chuletón (described as "super tender and juicy"), the wagyu cecina as a starter that carries real flavour, and the torrijas as genuinely exceptional. The service model is attentive without fussing—staff advise on dishes and wines, and they remember names like Juan and Enrique matter to how a meal lands. It's not a casual neighbourhood spot; it's a place where quality of ingredients and execution are non-negotiable, and the price (€20–30) reflects that without pretending to be something it isn't.
