Depending on the area of the city you visit, you can find different concepts of restaurants and cuisines. Cultural diversity gives us the opportunity to visit different traditional cuisines from other countries. For example, if you want to try African food, you will find multiple options in Lavapiés, ranging from Morocco to Senegal; if you want to surprise yourself with asian food instead, there are restaurants in Plaza de España that will transport you to the continent just by trying their delicious Ramen, and for the most classic ones, in the La Latina area you will find many places with traditional Spanish food.
The city is a gastronomic hive on an international level, there are many trendy restaurants worth visiting. To make this task easier for you, We have made a selection of restaurants to travel through the different cuisines of the capital. We start with the aforementioned DiverXO and continue with Puntarena, one of the three famous restaurants of Mexican origin that has a place in the prestigious Michelin guide, where we will find the most contemporary version of Mexican cuisine, also inspired by the maritime gastronomy.
