Lúa

"Although there are numerous Galician restaurants in Madrid, it’s unusual to find one that is so different and with such a highly personal and innovative approach. Here, the cuisine prepared by Orense-born chef Manuel Domínguez, the son of traditional “pulpeiros” (octopus cooks), is served in two dining rooms with a warm rustic feel and works of contemporary art, as well as on the attractive terrace. The dishes on the à la carte and the two tasting menus (Lúa and Lúa Chea) are focused around a fully contemporary culinary approach with a strong Celtic influence, and one which maximises the use of seasonal ingredients that bring out the best of each other. We particularly enjoyed the signature “Pulpo a feira” octopus dish and the “Tarta líquida de Santiago”, a new take on the classic dessert but one which pays homage to the chef’s roots. Luckily for us, this particular moon (lúa in Galician) is shining brightly in the Spanish capital!" - Michelin Inspector

Dining at Lua was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the overall ambiance make it a standout in Madrid’s culinary scene. We started with the octopus, which was beautifully prepared—tender, flavorful, and a perfect way to begin the meal. The freshly baked bread they offer is also worth mentioning—warm, soft, and truly delicious. For the main course, I had the steak with fries. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection, bursting with flavor and expertly seasoned. It was accompanied by crisp, golden fries that balanced the dish nicely. Additionally, Lua’s wine selection is outstanding. The variety and quality available are impressive, with options that perfectly complement the menu. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning next time I’m in town. Highly recommend for anyone seeking refined cuisine and top-tier service in Madrid.

What a surprising and great dinner! We had a fantastic meal where we tried incredible and interesting dishes. The pigeon was the star of the show! It would’ve been perfect if the wine pairing could’ve been explained a bit better or in general a bit more time for service and enjoyment of the atmosphere was possible.

Although it lost its Michelin star in 2023, Lúa is still a fantastic restaurant. The chef, Manuel Domínguez, enhances traditional Galician dishes with unique creative elements. It's an excellent stepping stone into haute cuisine, without the sometimes exuberant mannerism of more distinguished places. While you can order individual dishes, we opted for the tasting menu. Consisting of 2 appetizers, 3 starters, 2 main dishes and 2 desserts, it is adequately priced at €92 per person. The quality is on par with what you would typically get in a traditional-leaning 1-Michelin-star restaurant. Our highlights were the peach gazpacho and the foie micuit with pear and caramelized cheese. While I'm not a fan of the traditional Santiago cake for dessert, the coulant version they make at Lúa is amazing. The only thing that could be improved are the meat dishes: you can choose between suckling pig and squab, but both rely a bit too much on the sauce they are served with. Other than that, we had a great dinner in a relatively casual atmosphere.

We went there upon recommendations from friends. The place is nicely decorated and wait staff were friendly and spoke English well. We had the degustation menu. The menu was definitely interesting and the kitchen definitely tries to experiment with flavours. I think the highlight is definitely the cappuccino dish. Visually interesting and flavours were good. A couple of dishes like the fish and roast pork could be better balanced with flavours. For example, the hoi sin sauce on the roast pork could be much stronger. Overall, it was a nice experience and with a few minor tweaks in the flavours I think this restaurant is amazing.

Our visit to Lua was one of those cozy, warm experiences that you treasure forever. We had wonderful food and wine in the company of good friends. The service we received was incredibly friendly and informative, both elegant but approachable, intuitive to our needs. We chose to start with an order of Foie Midcuit Sobre Empanada De Pera Y Queso San Simón Caramelizado, and a half order of impeccably soft and supple Pulpo a Feira. My companion ordered their Lubina con Verduritas, and I had the Verdinas con Carabineros, and the Raya En Caldeirada Sobre Sopa De Ibéricos. For dessert, I had the Brownie con Helado de Turron y Trufa (yes, it had authentic black truffles shaved on top) and my friend a "deconstructed" Tarta de Santiago. The whole meal was amazing; some of the dishes were elevated versions of traditional Galician dishes (the Verdinas or the Tarta de Santiago) while others were successful experiments (like the Fois Midcuit or the crazy-delicious Brownie with Turron Ice Cream and shaved Trufa). Lua deserves their 2023 Michelin star!

I had the tasting menu and cannot fault any of the dishes at all. Beautifully presented, amazing dishes. A great value for money because of the quality of dishes being extremely high. I would certainly return if I am in Madrid again.

I had the worst Michelin star experience ever. I ordered their 9 course tasting menu and none of the dishes really appealed to my taste. The food quality and cooking skills fell short of what I expected from a Michelin-starred establishment, and the lack of creativity was especially disappointing. The second appetizer tasted extremely fishy and sour, so my friend and I couldn't finish it. The starter course with salmon, mayo, and lime zest was just okay. The mayo tasted like the kind you buy at a regular supermarket. Among the nine dishes, the foie gras with puff pastry and candied pistachios stood out as the best, but even that had its flaws. It turned out to be too sweet for a savory dish, and the pastry itself was oily and lacked the desired crunch, resulting in an uncomfortable mouthfeel. The remaining courses were equally disappointing, leaving such a lackluster impression that I can hardly recall what I actually ate. The service and atmosphere were fine. The staff were professional and polite, but I was "spoiled" with the warming, friendly and attentive manners of other non-starred and Michellin-starred restaurants I have dined in before.
