Best Rooftop and View Restaurants in Madrid

MichelinRepsol

Paco Roncero holds two Michelin stars and three Repsol Soles on the top floor of the Real Casino de Madrid, a building protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural since 1993. It opened in 1990 as La Terraza del Casino; Roncero took over the kitchen in 2000, with early guidance from Ferran Adrià, and the restaurant took his name in 2019. Designer Jaime Hayón did the dining room, and Julio Guixeres designed the outdoor terrace, which looks out over the rooftops of central Madrid. The tasting menus run from Esencia, 15 courses, to the 25-course Gran Madrid at €310, built around dishes like an oxtail Wellington with mushrooms and a Parmigiano ice cream sandwich that nods to Ferran Adrià's original. It's part of the 50 Best Discovery selection and scored 95 points on La Liste 2025.

Élkar, on floor 33 of Torre Emperador Castellana on Paseo de la Castellana, bills itself as the highest restaurant in Spain. The view over the city is the restaurant's own headline. It's listed as Recomendado in the Guía Repsol. It opened in 2021 with a Basque kitchen, and since a 2025 relaunch chefs Fran Vicente and Pablo Verdúguez have cooked seasonal Mediterranean food, with six- and ten-pass tasting menus and a cellar of more than 180 references. Prices run over €100 per person, in keeping with the altitude and the room's panoramic outlook over Madrid. It holds no Michelin star.

Nice to Meet You sits on the 14th floor of the Dear Hotel on Gran Vía, designed by Tarruella Trench Studio around an urban-garden idea: plants and big terracotta pots on a terrace with 360-degree views over the city. It's run by GASTRO80, cooking contemporary, cosmopolitan food built to go with cocktails and music, and reservations are taken for lunch or dinner during kitchen hours rather than for drinks only.

It's listed as Recomendado in the Guía Repsol and isn't in the Michelin Guide. It's open daily, roughly 11:30 to 23:30, though hours are worth confirming with the hotel when booking. Prices run €51 to €100 per person.

Volvoreta sits 30 floors up on Paseo de la Castellana, trading on one of the city's widest views, with panoramic outlooks over Madrid and the sierra behind it. Executive chef Gorka Alonso leads a Galician kitchen built on classic recipes and local, seasonal produce, including beef from Pazo de Recimil, reared to natural rhythms and animal-welfare standards. The carta runs from Pazo de Recimil cecina with toasted almonds and a Donostia-style txangurro with pine-nut ajoblanco to a roasted sea bass in champagne beurre blanc with caviar. It also runs seasonal Volvoreta Experiences, spotlighting a single gourmet product under guest chefs. Prices run €51 to €100 per person, and it holds no Michelin star or Repsol distinction.

Oroya is a Peruvian restaurant on the fourth floor of The Madrid EDITION hotel, on Plaza de Celenque in Sol, with a pisco bar attached and a summer terrace above.

Weekend brunches highlight regional Peruvian specialties, served on the rooftop. Prices run €51 to €100 per person, and it holds no Michelin star or Repsol distinction.

Villa Verbena is a joint project of Grupo Triciclo and The Hat Madrid, set inside the Casa de Campo park, with a terrace and views toward the Royal Palace and the cathedral. It opened in 2021.

It holds a Repsol Solete. Prices run €51 to €100 per person.

La Primera is a Northern Spanish and Cantabrian coastal restaurant at Gran Vía 1, in the Cortes barrio at the foot of Gran Vía, run by a team with more than 45 years in hospitality. It's a modern, elegant room with a bar and a notable view, listed as Recomendado in the Guía Repsol. The carta keeps its Santander roots: Santander-style rabas, Cantabrian anchovies with roasted pepper, and a black rice with cuttlefish, alongside a 1981-style scorpionfish pudding starter. Prices run €26 to €50 per person.

El Anciano Rey de los Vinos sits on Calle Bailén in Palacio, the stretch of central Madrid wrapped around the Royal Palace.
