Soy
Soy is a high-end Japanese restaurant on Calle de Viriato in Chamberí, led by chef Pedro Espina, who by the restaurant's account has more than three decades in Japanese cooking. The cooking rests on respect for tradition, product and precise execution, served in a small, serene room. There's no sign at the door, booking is by phone only, and space is very limited.

Experience
Soy Dining Experience
The room is small, quiet and intimate, built for a close-up meal rather than a crowd. The cooking is traditional Japanese, centred on a tasting menu and sushi under chef Pedro Espina, who the restaurant says has more than three decades in the craft, and tables are hard to book.

Address
Calle de Viriato, 58, 28010 Madrid, Spain
Get directions→Getting There
It sits on Calle de Viriato in the Almagro neighbourhood, in Madrid's Chamberí district.
Nearby
Almagro is embassy Madrid: broad streets, old money, and a hush the rest of the centre does not have. The restaurants match, with polished rooms, careful service and kitchens that do not need to shout. It sits between Chueca and Salamanca without quite belonging to either.
