Viridiana

Top choice in Madrid


Chef Abraham García is a much-celebrated Madrid figure and his larger-than-life personality is reflected in Viridiana’s menu. Many influences are brought to bear on the cooking here, among them international innovations and ingredients and well-considered seasonal variations.

This place was doing fusion cooking long before it became fashionable and has developed a fiercely loyal clientele as a result. In short, it's one of Madrid's best restaurants.
