Madrid’ s rooftops offer some of the most spectacular panoramic views of the city, and the best thing is that these elevated spaces give you the opportunity to dine with the illuminated Gran Vía or the silhouette of the Royal Palace as a backdrop, creating moments that you will surely keep in your memory.
You will also be surprised to discover how many of these rooftops have developed gastronomic proposals to match their views. You can findcontemporary Mediterranean cuisine, international fusions or reinterpreted gourmet tapas, which make them culinary references in their own right.
In addition, the chefs take advantage of the special ambiance to create menus that celebrate seasonal products, ideal for Madrid’s summer nights.
Madrid keeps among its streets interior courtyards that in summer are transformed into authentic gastronomic refuges. You will be surprised to discover these spaces, often hidden behind discreet facades or inside historic buildings.
Vegetation also plays a leading role in this type of terraces, with creepers climbing up centenary walls, olive trees in large pots or small urban gardens that create a unique atmosphere and at the same time supply the kitchens. This connection with nature creates pleasant microclimates even on the hottest nights.
In terms of gastronomy, these patios usually go for proposals with personality, giving you the opportunity to find updated taverns that reinterpret traditional Madrid cuisine or spaces that explore international cuisines with a contemporary approach. What unites all these patios is the care taken to create complete experiences, where the surroundings are as important as what is served on the plate.
Madrid’s terraces that incorporate water in their decoration know how to take advantage of it to create unique atmospheres. It may be next to the Retiro pond, near the ornamental fountains of the city or in spaces that have integrated aquatic elements in their design; these terraces offer that extra freshness that is so appreciated on summer nights.
You will even notice that these terraces usually stand out for their elegance and careful design, with spaces that combine harmoniously with the water. You will also enjoy the Mediterranean or Asian-inspired furniture, the textiles in blue and green tones, and the lighting that plays with the reflections in the water, creating sophisticated yet cozy environments.
As for its gastronomic offer, many of these terraces are inclined to marine proposals that maintain that connection with the water. We recommend you try their fresh fish, seasonal seafood and prepared rice dishes, which are usually the protagonists of their menus.
The urban gardens that have gastronomic spaces are authentic oasis in the middle of Madrid’s asphalt. These privileged places offer you a special environment for your summer dinners.
The connection with nature also influences the culinary proposals of these spaces, with menus that often celebrate seasonal produce and freshness. You will be surprised to know that many of these gardens even have their own small vegetable gardens that supply their kitchens, offering freshly cut vegetables and aromatic herbs that bring intense and authentic flavors to each dish.
The most special thing about dining in these urban gardens is the sense of escape they provide without having to leave the city. The scent of the plants, the occasional song of the birds that have made these spaces their home and the breeze that gently moves the leaves of the trees create a very good experience.
Madrid is a city with centuries of history, and some of its most special terraces are located in historic buildings that add a unique value to your dining experience. Old stately homes or renovated industrial buildings host outdoor spaces where history can be felt in every corner.
These terraces are surprising for their careful aesthetics, which blend respectfully with the historic environment. You will be delighted to discover the furniture that reinterprets period styles and decorative details that wink at the history of the place.
When talking about gastronomy, many of these terraces with history offer proposals that also establish a dialogue between tradition and innovation. We invite you to try their classic recipes updated with contemporary techniques, local products presented with creative approaches or menus that take you on a journey through the evolution of Madrid’s cuisine.
Madrid’s summer invites you to rediscover the city from its terraces, where good food and atmosphere create unforgettable moments. In our terrace in Benares, where you will enjoy the sophistication of Indian cuisine under the starry sky of Chamberí, or in the various outdoor corners that are all over the capital, Madrid has the perfect setting for your summer nights.
We encourage you to explore these spaces, letting yourself be surprised by their proposals, and to create memories that will last after the summer.
