57 gate
How about eating while looking at a soccer field? And not just any field but that of the Real Madrid! Of course, you can do it if you reserve an elegant table in the Puerta 57 restaurant. It is a large place, with capacity for many diners in its almost one thousand square meters. The wide window that goes from floor to ceiling on one side allows that majestic view that is its main asset.
This window is 30 meters long and is in the so-called Cibeles room. It's great, but if you want something more intimate you can choose the Blanco room, which barely fits 22 people. On the other hand is the Royal room and also the White Corner that have carpets and tapestries; and the Cibeles bar where drinks and simpler meals are served.
Here the plus is the football stadium, there is no doubt. It is located in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium C/Father Damián S/N.

Dans le noir
This original site is located in the Plaza del Biombo, in the heart of the historic center of the Spanish capital. More than a restaurant we can say that here you will live an absolutely immersive experience that mix culinary with art.
Is eat "in the dark", so without lights your other senses will open up to the experience: you will smell wines and food, you will taste textures without knowing what you are putting in your mouth, for example. Everything sparks talks, discussions, debates. Eating, then, is sharing.
Dans le noir is a place where diners are guided by a blind person, so the experience is unique because it encourages us to use our other senses, always somewhat secondary to that of sight.
The menu is always a surprise, you don't choose to taste it in the dark, you feel it as it reaches your table and your mouth. The kitchen is inspired by catalan flavors and is in charge of chef Edwin Cuevas. If there is someone with an allergy, they simply sign up in the reservation, and at the end of the dinner, when the lights come on, the restaurant team offers to discover, through photos, the drinks and dishes that you have eaten in absolute darkness.
In the dark counts for many on the list of the 10 most original restaurants in the world. What prices do you have? The complete menu with first and second course and dessert costs 49 euros and if you add two glasses of wine, 90 euros. There is also a wine or beer tasting menu.
Arrogant
Finally, a restaurant with the best Italian food: Arrogant. It has a super original circus decoration, with carousels, tenors who are waiters, clowns... Anyway, this place opened at the beginning of last year and is truly unique in the city.
Works on Velázquez street, Super stylish, in the Salamanca neighborhood and carries the idea of dinner + show at a level rarely seen. The gastronomy is excellent, with pastas and pizzas with a true Italian flavor and the best raw materials, but the original and special touch is the decoration and circus style that they have chosen to give you.
White and red, stripes, fabrics that remind you of circus tents, everything is striking in Arrogant, everything reminds of childhood movies, a French show or a movie. Red velvet, aquamarine, bronze metals, soft armchairs and curtains abound, masks hanging here and there, horses hanging from the ceiling, vintage lamps, mirrors... But there is also a stage where there may be live musicians, jugglers or magicians.
The show offer is great, with 13 different numbers, although there are six that are performed each night. That is, you can go several times and always see something different. The shows are in charge of Álex G. Robles, a well-known choreographer of, for example, the Teatro de la Zarzuela, the Royal Albert Hall or the Olympic Stadium in Athens. I mean, quality.
