Restaurante en Aranjuez I EL TOMATE DE ARANJUEZ

Wow! The tomatoes with anchovies are amazing, the artichoke very tasty. I loved the squid skewer but the beef (La Suprema) was really something. The staff super friendly and very helpful. I totally recommend this place that also have a nice selection of fine wines.

Not the best in place in Aranjuez 4 sure... The steak was dry and chewy, not an entrecot I'll remember 😂😂, or I hope so. The cod wasn't bad but too oily the veggies, (it wouldn't harm to use a papel to remove the excess oil). I was gonna give it 3 stars but overpriced, so live with the 2 stars

👍

Thanks to a great tip from a great reception clerk at the NH Collection Palacio Aranjuez, we decided to begin our evening meal at El Tomate. The facade with the artistic tomato and the mixture of elegance of the dining room and more informal larger area with smaller tables and bar stools made a very good first impression. While my Spanish husband wanted to order typical Spanish tapas, I insisted on the mouth-watering freshly diced tomatoes on plates next to a cornucopia of vegetables next to the grill area. They were just as delicious as they looked, so we continued with green asparagus, beautifully served and perfectly seasoned. The nice server at the grill noticed us eying the fresh gamba shrimp he was preparing, so our next course was set. Our helpful server recommended the artichokes, grilled and seasoned to perfection. We would've loved to have tried the dessert, but all we could manage was the after-dinner drinks on the house. And the owner whizzed us then to the back to show us the patio area, packed with diners who seemed to be enjoying their meals as much as we had ours. The front area and the tables outside facing the plaza were also full after 11 p.m., but we were in Spain. Our intention was only to begin our evening here before wandering onward to other eateries - the typically Spanish tapeo - but thanks to the truly excellent food, the friendly and attentive service, and the very nice atmosphere, our tapeo had only one stop and became a wonderful dining experience, which we'll be repeating on our next trip to Aranjuez.

Nice place, modern decoration and great environment. We had some issues with a new waitress, and h they "forgot" to bring us some appetizers with the last drink. All and all, food was good and I would come back.
