Museo del Jamón

If you're looking to enjoy prosciutto and beer at a good price, this place might be suitable. There's a set available for €7.9 which includes two beers and one plate of prosciutto. However, the prosciutto was a bit too salty for my personal taste. I think this shop is just right if you go in with the mindset of having a quick standing drink with beer and ham, then heading home.

Here’s the English translation: ⸻ I’m not sure whether all jamón museums are the same, but I wouldn’t recommend visiting this one. It’s possible there are better dishes, but out of the 7 dishes we tried, there was hardly anything truly enjoyable. I tend to think this is a very touristy place, since the dishes were brought out literally 2–5 minutes after ordering, which is kind of a plus, but the quality is a minus. There are much better places where you can spend the same amount of money (on average €30–40 per person) and get what you expect, or at least something close to it. From the menu, we had: • Paella – it looked good and was quite good. • Grilled salmon, served with a salad of lettuce, carrots, and corn. The salad itself was okay, if not for the expired vegetables. • Pork tenderloin, served with French fries. Overall, not bad. • Caesar salad didn’t really resemble a Caesar salad, including the dressing. Again, the vegetables were a bit tired. • Jamón with melon. A separate story — the melon was cut into cubes and sprinkled with finely chopped jamón (not thinly sliced, but finely chopped like onion for meatballs). It’s served in an ice cream bowl. For the €11 this costs, you could buy 300 g of jamón at a supermarket plus a melon and eat your fill. • Bone broth. I tried it for the first time, but if you don’t want to experience a “pork kingdom” in your mouth, try something else. • Ice cream. Instead of butter, milk, and sugar, it felt like plastic and water were probably the main ingredients. • The wine was good. • The bread served with single-use packages of olive oil and vinegar was tasty. I’ve never seen oil and vinegar served this way before. In February, when we were here, it was most likely off-season and there were few tourists. Whether that’s the reason or not is hard to say. The last time we visited this same museum, everything was 3–4 times better. This time, my wife refused to eat the melon and didn’t even look at the broth. And even I, being someone who eats almost anything, was chasing it with bread after just two spoonfuls. Maybe next time we’ll try the assortment of 5–6 types of jamón, which costs around €34.

The experience was okay, I wouldn’t say that I was impressed or disappointed going there. The food was okay, nothing out of usual. We tried the Jamons, cheese and tortilla; they were good but not exceptional. I liked the vibe and the history of the place rather than the food. I’d suggest going there for a short stop

Had an amazing stay. There is a pretty nice dine-in area upstairs. The food was great and to our surprise not overpriced. Even tho it was very busy the Service was attentive and the food came quite fast. Definitely recommend it for a Madrid trip.

Museo del Jamón is a charming little place that's perfect for a casual stop. The bar has a great atmosphere – lively, no-frills, and very typically Spanish. It's a fun spot to sit, have a drink, and soak in the local vibe. The food is decent – nothing too fancy, but it hits the spot if you're after something simple and traditional. The real highlight is the bar itself: quick service, affordable prices, and a wide selection of jamón and cold beers. Overall, it's a great little bar for a relaxed break. Don’t expect fine dining, but do expect a solid experience in a very local setting.
