Ginkgo Sky Bar Madrid

Ginkgo Sky Bar sits at Plaza de España, 3. The kitchen prepares Asian fusion, and the room runs smart and elegant.

You choose this spot for the vantage point over the city, which is an improvement on the claustrophobic bars tucked into the side streets off Gran Vía. While most places within a ten-minute walk of the Sabatini Gardens rely on proximity to traffic to draw a crowd, this venue pivots away from the street level entirely. It is a better bet than its immediate neighbours for those who want to see the skyline while they eat, if you find a seat on the terrace.
