Paco Roncero Madrid

Paco Roncero sits on Calle de Alcalá, a ten-minute walk from the Puerta del Sol. The restaurant holds two Michelin stars and stands at number 58 on the 2024 La Liste.

The room runs smart, favoring a rigorous style that defines contemporary dining in the city. While neighboring venues near Plaza Mayor lean heavily into traditional, casual tapas, this space offers a strictly creative, modern approach. It remains the best choice for those tired of the dense, crowded culinary scene in the old quarter. You choose this table for the precision of the kitchen, which effectively ignores the tourist-heavy expectations of the surrounding streets to focus on technical mastery instead.
