The room is a two-floor industrial loft with no sign outside, built around an open kitchen. Three tasting menus run here, Dtaste at 16 courses, DSTAgE at 18 and Denjoy at 22, with dishes like a shrimp served on a pink salt stone, a crispy pork bun called Pepe, and a corn dessert called Maíz meant to be eaten by hand. Reservations open 120 days out, and it's closed Sunday and Monday.

Chispa Bistró is Argentine chef Juan D'Onofrio's Michelin-starred restaurant on Calle del Barquillo, in Justicia. D'Onofrio, born in Buenos Aires in 1997, trained at Mina in Bilbao and the two-Michelin-star Santceloni before opening here in 2022 with a team of eight; the restaurant won its star at the November 2024 gala. The cooking is international and grill-led, with Japanese touches like dashi, ikura and yuzu worked into market vegetables and fish. The signature is pichón, squab served several ways at once, alongside dishes like cogollo a la brasa with green curry and yogurt and sweetbreads with polenta purée and huitlacoche cream. The Fuego Loco tasting menu runs €135, with a wine list of more than 400 references chosen by sommelier Ismael Álvarez. It's closed Sunday to Tuesday.

La Llorería is a tiny Justicia restaurant on Calle de San Lorenzo, just four tables and eight bar stools around an open kitchen, run by Carmen Alti and José Certucha, who met working together in a Madrid kitchen and opened it out of that friendship. It opened in spring 2022. The chalkboard menu runs in small and half portions built for sharing, with dishes like cauliflower with Iberian bacon and baby squid, corvina with yellow chili and pak choi, and duck cannelloni with chamomile. It's listed in the Michelin Guide and holds one Repsol Sol. Reservations are essential, and the kitchen keeps weekday-only hours, closed Saturday and Sunday.

Kuoco is chef Rafa Bergamo and Andrés Correa's fusion restaurant, now on Calle del Barquillo after moving from its original Calle de San Bartolomé address in 2025, eight years after the two Venezuelans opened it as Kuoco 360º. The kitchen calls its cooking timeless, crossing Asia, Latin America and Spain rather than picking one lane: small bites include La Spéciale oysters with smoked calamansi ponzu and a Tom Yam croquette with warm red prawn, and the carta runs to robata-grilled corvina and a Bresse pigeon in a Franco-Nikkei curry. The Attraverso tasting menu costs €89. Kuoco holds one Sol in the Guía Repsol and is recommended in the Michelin Guide. It's closed Sunday and Monday.

Gioia is chef Davide Bonato's Italian restaurant on Calle San Bartolomé in Justicia, listed in the Michelin Guide. Chef Davide Bonato opened it in 2015. Everything that leaves the kitchen, from the pasta to the bread and desserts, is made in-house in the restaurant's own atelier, working Italian technique across produce from both Italy and Spain. The carta runs to dishes like tagliolini with 40 egg yolks and seasonal fresh truffle, mezzemaniche carbonara with a charcoal crumble, and a Milanese-style risotto finished with edible gold leaf, alongside tasting menus called Essentia and NESSO. The room reads romantic and a little trendy, service is attentive, and it's closed Mondays and Tuesdays, running to half past midnight the rest of the week.

Tampu is chef Miguel Ángel Valdiviezo's Peruvian restaurant on Calle de Prim in Justicia, after starting more modestly in the Prosperidad neighbourhood. Chef Miguel Ángel Valdiviezo opened it in 2011. Valdiviezo trained in the first cohort of Le Cordon Bleu in Lima, and the menu is written in narrative chapters that follow his approach to Peruvian cooking rather than a standard starters-and-mains layout. Dishes include mussels in a mojito granita with sweet potato threads, ceviche offered in four variations, and a tamal carabinero. The room runs to a bar area, three private rooms and a main salon in wicker, wood and warm gold. Tampu is Michelin Selected and holds a Repsol Recomendado listing, and it's open Tuesday to Sunday.

Angelita is brothers David and Mario Villalón's wine bar, cocktail bar and restaurant on Calle de la Reina, spread over two floors: a wine bistro upstairs, a cocktail bar below. Opened in 2016, it's become one of Madrid's benchmark wine bars, sitting at No. 45 on Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026 and appearing on the World's 50 Best Bars extended list. The kitchen is seasonal and produce-led, much of it grown in the family's own garden: pisto arrives with a rosemary-infused alioli, and a bull's tail stew is reworked as cannelloni. At the bar, cocktails are made without shakers or mixing vessels, measured by weight instead, and the house signature is the 'negroni powder' sbagliato. The wine list runs to more than 2,000 references.

Nunuka is a Georgian bistrot on Calle de la Libertad in Justicia, named for a little Georgian girl raised on her grandmother's cooking and pitched as her own house in Madrid. The kitchen centres on khachapuri, the cheese-filled bread that's still a rare find in this city, built around three generations' worth of family recipes down to the version a grandmother, Nunu Bebo, once baked in Batumi. It's listed in the Michelin Guide, and the room reads warm, earthy and busy. Georgian cooking doesn't show up often on a Madrid restaurant list, which makes Nunuka's spot here worth noting on its own. It's closed Monday, with dinner Tuesday to Friday and both lunch and dinner at weekends, and the carta runs roughly €30 to €40 per person.

Casa Salvador has served traditional Madrid cooking on Calle de Barbieri, on the seam between Chueca and Justicia, since 1941, when it started as a small taberna taurina. The walls still carry bullfighting paintings and photographs, and the room stays classic and rustic. The kitchen is known for callos a la madrileña, estofado de rabo de toro and Lenten potajes, alongside Iberian charcuterie, soups, salads and fresh fish. It's listed in the Guía Repsol. Casa Salvador closes for the whole of August, and hours otherwise run Monday lunch only, then Tuesday to Saturday for both lunch and dinner, closed Sunday.

Roostiq Madrid, on Calle Augusto Figueroa in Chueca, is the city flagship of the Roostiq brand, whose other addresses are a restaurant in Marbella and Roostiq Bar, a separate wine-and-cocktail bar on Calle del Barquillo. Its idea is 'Organic Mood': the group raises its own free-range chickens and acorn-fed pigs and grows its own vegetables, and the kitchen cooks them over fire, embers and smoke. The carta runs from lightly smoked torreznos, bellota charcuterie and red-tuna tartare to eleven wood-oven pizzas, free-range chicken and grilled beef, including 1.2 kg chops, a T-bone and picanha. It's listed in the Guía Repsol.

Biang Biang Bar is Óscar Ling's Chinese restaurant on Calle de Pelayo, opened in July 2019, specialising in hand-pulled biang biang noodles from Xi'an, stretched fresh every morning. Ling trained at Madrid's School of Hospitality and travelled to deepen his understanding of the style before opening, and calls it the only version of this ancestral noodle he's found in Spain. The wide, belt-like noodles come with pork, lamb, mushroom or vegetarian toppings, and the menu also runs to fried cauliflower with spicy mayo, a duck spring roll and homemade jiaozi. Signature noodles start from €13.90. Biang Biang Bar holds a Repsol Solete, and it's closed Tuesdays.

La Hummuseria is a Jewish and vegetarian kitchen on Calle de Hernán Cortés in Chueca, built around hummus and holding a Repsol Solete. The Guía Repsol lists it under Fast Good, its casual, quick-service category. The menu runs from classic hummus to versions with mushrooms, pine nuts and almonds, or matbuja, alongside dishes like spicy watermelon, roasted eggplant and a Middle Eastern market plate. It's open every day from midday to 11pm, with online booking available. It's a straightforward pick for a vegetarian meal in an area where most of the other kitchens on this list build their menus around meat and fish.

Fiera is a Latin American restaurant on Costanilla de Capuchinos in Chueca, holding a Repsol Solete and pitching itself as a street-food tour across the region, fused with local, quality produce. It opened in September 2021. The menu runs to a corn, cheese and basil empanada, a skirt-steak anticucho with egg yolk and crispy coconut, tequeños, and a range of tostadas topped with tuna, seabass or octopus, alongside sanguches, tacos and a chaufa fried rice. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus pop-ups, delivery, takeaway and catering. It's closed Monday.

El Cisne Azul is a wild-mushroom tavern on Calle de Gravina in Chueca, holding a Repsol Solete after roughly 40 years built around setas silvestres, meats and cheeses. It runs across two rooms: the original taberna at number 19, first-come first-served, and a larger restaurant at number 27 that takes bookings. The carta opens with zucchini flowers, gorgonzola and truffle powder, and runs to Santoña anchovies, black rock octopus with alioli, scallops in curry and mango sauce, and Garrucha red prawn served boiled or griddled. It's closed Mondays, with Sunday lunch only.

Hot Now is a pizzeria on Calle de Barbieri in Chueca, open every day for both lunch and dinner. It has been open since 2018. The room is casual, modern and walk-in friendly, working for friends, a date or a family meal alike. Burratas open the menu, including a classic version and a pesto rosso, alongside starters like hummus, provolone and vitello tonnato, then pizzas such as the T.N.T., a Margarita, a Pistacho and a Caprese 2.0. There are vegetarian options throughout. Hot Now keeps to a mid-range carta and reads fair value for the neighbourhood.

Propaganda 12 is an Italian-accented vinoteca on Calle de la Libertad in Chueca, built around a list of more than 365 wines, 30 of them rotating by the glass, with trained 'vinateros' guiding guests through the selection. A visible wine cellar doubles as a retail shop. The charcuterie board runs to Mortadella Trufada di Bologna and Bresaola della Valtellina alongside dishes like Caponata alla Siciliana, confit artichokes with Parmesan fondue, and a cauliflower steak in cacio e pepe sauce. The venue runs monthly themed wine tastings with visiting winery representatives, plus a Sunday champagne brunch.
