La Borda del Mentidero

La Borda del Mentidero is a Madrid restaurant with a verified Spanish grill focus, a $$ price tier, a smart casual dress code. The clearest reason to consider it is direct: it fits diners looking for Spanish grill cooking in Madrid without framing the meal as a formal fine-dining occasion.

The schedule gives it both lunch and dinner use cases. Lunch is listed Tuesday to Sunday from 13:00 to 16:00, while dinner is listed Wednesday to Saturday from 20:00 to 24:00. Monday is closed. That makes it more flexible for lunch than dinner, though both services are part of the confirmed opening pattern.

Book it for Spanish grill cooking in Madrid

The useful way to read La Borda del Mentidero is as a $$ Spanish grill option in Madrid.

For a first visit, the timing matters. Lunch is available Tuesday through Sunday, giving diners the widest booking window. Dinner is more limited, running Wednesday through Saturday. If a particular service, table type, menu item, or group setup matters, confirm those details directly with the restaurant before planning around them.

Value should be judged against the verified $$ price tier and the restaurant’s confirmed recognition: a Macarfi 6.6 Food Rating for 2026. That rating is a useful signal, but it should not be stretched into a claim that the restaurant is a major destination or a special-occasion splurge. The strongest grounded verdict is that La Borda del Mentidero is a practical Madrid choice for diners specifically seeking Spanish grill cooking at a mid-range price level.
