Don Lay l Restaurante cantonés MadridA-
Calle de Castelló, 117, Salamanca, 28006 Madrid, Spain
· Cantonese restaurant, Chinese restaurant, Chinese takeaway
· Castellana
Stylish Cantonese destination with standout duck and polished service, premium pricing, and some consistency and policy complaints; worth it for special occasions if you embrace creative dim sum and higher costs.
The verdict
Don Lay delivers exceptional food quality anchored by Madrid's finest Peking duck and creative dim sum, paired with warm, attentive service that earns consistent praise. However, inconsistent execution across menu items and occasional food safety concerns prevent grade A standing, while premium pricing and tight two-hour seatings temper the special-occasion appeal for some diners.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (many mains €19-27; duck half €63, whole €125)
