When investing in a luxury property in Madrid, the surroundings… and above all the high-end gastronomic offerings, count just as much as the square metres, the façade or the amenities. The neighbourhoods of Chamberí, Barrio de Salamanca, Goya and Velázquez not only offer stately architecture, high-end boutiques, tree-lined streets and rare residences, but also some of the city’s best Michelin-starred and signature restaurants. This greatly enhances the value of living or investing there.
Michelin-Starred and Signature Restaurants in Madrid’s Most Exclusive Areas
In the Salamanca neighbourhood, one of the undisputed gastronomic benchmarks is Kabuki Wellington, with one Michelin star. Located in the elegant Hotel Wellington, this temple of Japanese-Mediterranean fusion is run by Ricardo Sanz, a master at transforming sushi into art. His nigiri and sashimi coexist with the most exquisite Spanish ingredients in a sophisticated and formal setting.
A short distance away, in the Príncipe de Vergara – Goya area, we find Gaytán, also awarded a Michelin star. Chef Javier Aranda turns cooking into a spectacle, with an impressive circular space open to diners. Each dish is a sensory experience that combines creativity, impeccable technique and refined service, perfect for those who seek to be surprised with every visit.
The Chamberí neighbourhood shines brightly on the gastronomic map. It is home to El Invernadero, owned by Rodrigo de la Calle and awarded a Michelin star. It is a unique concept in the capital: green haute cuisine, where vegetables, fruits and herbs are the absolute stars of a sustainable and avant-garde cuisine that sets international trends.
In the same district, but with even greater recognition, is Coque, awarded two Michelin stars. The Sandoval brothers’ restaurant is a benchmark in Madrid’s haute cuisine. Its tasting menus are a journey that combines tradition and innovation, with impeccable presentation and service on a par with the great European restaurants.
Why these restaurants increase the appeal of your investment
- Prestige and visibility: Having Michelin-starred restaurants or renowned signature cuisine in a neighbourhood increases its international reputation. This adds cachet to the immediate surroundings of any property: those who buy or rent luxury properties also do so because of their surroundings.
- Premium quality of life: Having access to haute cuisine dining just minutes from home, exquisite surroundings and impeccable service directly influences the purchasing decision of a discerning client.
- International buyers: These establishments are referenced in global guides (Michelin, gastronomic media) that attract curiosity about the properties closest to these delicacies.
- Sustained added value: Streets near Kabuki Wellington, Gaytán, Coque… maintain higher prices. A property in Velázquez, Goya or Príncipe de Vergara also increases in value due to the ‘intangible value’ added by high-end gastronomy.
If you enjoy the most exclusive cuisine close to home, we have the perfect place for you.
