Review Summary

Mesón earns praise for attentive service and a warm, convivial atmosphere that can feel quaint and intimate or lively depending on the night. The tapas and brunch scenes are lauded for flavor and shareability, with standout items such as pulpo a la gallega, secreto iberico, gravlax, saumon mariné, croquetas, and paella, though the paella is sometimes too salty or not up to par. Desserts divide opinions, with the Basque cheesecake disappointing some while the éclair is a recommended finish. Prices are viewed as reasonable for the overall quality by many, yet some feel value is uneven and portions or quality have fluctuated as prices rise. Service is described as impeccable and attentive in many visits, but a few experiences note colder or rushed service and changes in atmosphere. Music can be loud, occasionally affecting conversation. Overall Mesón is seen as a solid neighbourhood spot for gatherings with friends or family, offering good food, strong drinks, and a welcoming vibe, with some variability in dishes and consistency across visits.

One of the best brunches ever. Gravlax de Trucha: Trout gravlax, goat cheese whipped with pepper, herring caviar, cucumber, radish, poached egg, toast. Well located with a great atomosphere, it was so delicious & we had a great time. The menu is various & everything was so good.

Terrible experience for brunch. Food was passably good, but service was pushy & they really want to rush you out of the restaurant despite there being empty tables all around. I am a reasonable person & I understand you have a business to run, but this is really disrespectful to customers. When I expressed my displeasure about feeling rushed out, I was told we had 1:45 (we were maybe at the 2 hour mark) at the table. Would've been nice to know ahead of time. Rest assured there are many other establishments with better food & service where I would rather spend my money.

Ce n'était pas ma première visite & j' ai une fois de plus apprécié! À la dernière minute, nous avons pu avoir des places au bar. J'y suis allé pour le brunch du dimanche & la proposition de mimosa m'a plu. Les "patatas" toutes garnies étaient succulentes. Très bon service de tous les membres du personnel. Tous souriants & avenants! Je recommande cet endroit! Bon appétit!

Bons plats mais froids & le plat avec boudin, il fallait chercher le boudin tellement il y en avait peu….Pour un brunch, le café est crucial & il goutait le café de machine Nespresso en plus d’être froid. Décevant….

Tout le personnel est accueillant & efficace
Brunch: jus orange frais, cassoulet, & mémorable café glacé si vous cherchez une cuisine différente,c’est bien. Pain doré appétissant
Très bruyant & resto sombre

J'ai toujours aimé leur brunch, cependant, aujourd'hui, j'ai été déçue, je ne pense pas y retourner. Petites portions, plats assez simples, pour gros prix. Pain doré aux fraises avec seulement trois fraises...Sandwich à la viande: on annonce un sous-marin, mais on sert sur du pain tranché...Se veut raffiné, mais ce ne l'etait pas.

Sommes allés pour le brunch du dimanche. Décor triste, niveau sonore bruyant. Accueil & service très moyens. Cuisine en mode de réinterprétation inutile, notamment pour le Club où le serrano relevait plus de l'imaginaire que du réel. Seule bonne note : les frites. Pour le reste, assiette chichement garnie, abstention pour une quelconque idée de dessert vu le Club mal réinventé. Touche finale : un espresso allongé faiblard. Aux antipodes du grand frère Tapeo. Prochaine visite : on oublie ça.
