About AS MATILDES
As Matildes arrived in Arcade as a deliberate statement: a restaurant where every detail—from the luminous, soberly elegant dining room to the curated wine cellar—signals intent. The kitchen specialises in premium beef: aged Galician entrecot, Japanese wagyu cecina, and tender jarrete that reviewers describe as "exquisite" and "simply spectacular". Portions are generous; the kitchen's own pastry programme delivers standout torrijas and creamy cheesecake. Service centres on attentive recommendation—staff like Juan have become named fixtures in reviews, praised for their knowledge and genuine warmth. The menu balances tradition with creativity; vegetarian guests report excellent ensalada and roasted vegetables. Pricing sits at €30–40, positioned as premium but justified by ingredient quality and execution. Within Arcade's competitive dining landscape, As Matildes has earned its rank as a top-six destination in just months.
