In Madrid, the gastronomic offer is wide and diverse. You will find restaurants for all tastes and styles, from the most authentic and traditional to the most innovative and creative. Among them, there are a number of “gay friendly” restaurants that stand out for their inclusiveness and acceptance of diversity.
The authenticity of the cuisine is something that many diners look for in a restaurant, and in Madrid there is no shortage of options in this regard. Mediterranean and innovative restaurants that combine traditional flavors with modern techniques, unique places with personality, restaurants with thematic decoration or located in historic buildings are just a few examples of what you can find in the city.
If you are looking for a haute cuisine culinary experience, Madrid also has Michelin-starred restaurants that offer exceptional dishes and impeccable service. And if you want to combine gastronomy with Spanish art and culture, you can opt for a restaurant that offers live flamenco shows while you enjoy a delicious dinner.
