About María del Río

The Story

María del Río is a small modern kitchen in Puerta del Ángel, across the river from the centre, whose carta, in its own words, is in constant movement.

Getting There

At Calle de Doña Urraca 16, in Puerta del Ángel, in the Latina district across the Manzanares from central Madrid.

Nearby

Puerta del Ángel sits across the river from the old city, and it has changed faster than almost anywhere in Madrid. The eating is independent, plant-leaning and priced for locals, in rooms that are still small enough to feel personal. Catedral de la Almudena and Palacio Real de Madrid are the view back east.
