Kabuki

For top quality fish and a fascinating and delicious fusion meal in a glam environment, look no further than Kabuki. Those with a hearty appetite can opt for the chef’s menu, which includes approximately 15 courses, each of which mix Japanese and Spanish flavors.

Miyama

With delicious sashimi options among other fare, an extensive list of wine and spirits, and excellent service, this is one restaurant not to miss. Try the scallops, and of course save room for dessert – the lychee sorbet with white chocolate cream is exceptional.

Located in the heart of the city center, Sushita Café is stylish and delicious. Snag a seat outdoors on the terrace, and enjoy a meal of fresh ingredients for reasonable prices. Don’t miss the ramen burger, which comes with a choice of jalapeño sauce or sriracha as well as a side dish of wakame salad with wasabi mayo.

DokiDoki

Restaurant, Japanese

Delicious, creative, and artistically plated dishes are the name of the game at DokiDoki. Sushi lovers will savor the tuna belly roll with white truffle, and the tempura, both vegetable or prawn, is mouth-watering. The restaurant gets crowded, so call ahead to book a table.

DiverXO

Restaurant, Spanish, European

With three Michelin stars, chef and owner David Muñoz’s brainchild is highly-regarded for good reason. Impeccable service, a delightful and unique ambiance, and creative cuisine combine to make a meal at DiverXO a memorable one. We recommend you call ahead for a reservation.

Bacira

For fairly priced and tasty fusion food, get a table at Bacira. Don’t miss the grilled octopus with roasted sweet potatoes, basil, and black olives, or the Iberian pork cheek with teriyaki sauce, lychee cream and beetroot, as well as any number of other exciting flavor combinations.

Kimura

Just a stone’s throw from the iconic Prado art museum, head here for a post-museum sushi lunch. Start off the meal with appetizers such as gyoza dumplings or tempura, and then order sushi rolls made with fresh ingredients and high-quality fish at great prices.
