La Terraza del Casino

Overseen by legendary Spanish chef Ferran Adrià and run by Paco Roncero, one of his most talented disciples, La Terraza del Casino has a strong claim to being the best high-end restaurant in Madrid. The menu is constantly changing, keeping pace with the seasons and the creative output of the restaurant’s chefs who devise dishes like seaweed lollipops, nitro-poached maize with black truffle gel and foie gras air, and lobster with pink grapefruit and olive oil. The terraza itself, on the roof of the opulent Casino de Madrid and surrounded by stately buildings, is among the city’s most elegant.
