Restaurante Clos

Clos Madrid exceeded all my expectations! The service was incredibly attentive and friendly, making the entire dining experience enjoyable. The food was outstanding, especially the desserts, truly a highlight that blew me away. The atmosphere was chic yet relaxed, perfect for a memorable night out. Highly recommend!

My partner and I recently dined at Clos to celebrate our one-year anniversary, but unfortunately, the experience did not fully meet our expectations. From the start, the service felt overly intense and intrusive. The waitstaff hovered constantly, rushing to clear our plates the moment we finished a bite and replacing our cutlery obsessively. While attentiveness is important, it left us feeling pressured rather than relaxed, making it difficult to enjoy the meal at our own pace. The food was beautifully plated, with a clear emphasis on aesthetics, but the flavors didn’t quite match the presentation. The first cocktail we ordered was overwhelmingly salty, and the rice dish also suffered from excessive salt. The main courses—chicken, beef, and fish—were well-executed but fairly standard, lacking the creativity and boldness one would expect from a fine dining experience. Another disappointment was the unexpected cost of the champagne we were offered at the beginning of the meal. Only after we had already started drinking did we realize it was €17 per glass—an excessive price that wasn’t mentioned beforehand. The atmosphere also left room for improvement. The background music consisted of uninspired, elevator-style covers of mainstream hits. With such an effort put into the restaurant’s visual design, it would have been great to see the same level of thought applied to the music—something more immersive and unique could have elevated the experience significantly. Additionally, while the space itself was meticulously designed, there were details that disrupted the sense of perfection the restaurant was aiming for. For example, when the coat closet was opened, it was quite messy, and we noticed a cabinet across from us covered in crumbs. Small details like these, while seemingly minor, break the illusion of a flawless high-end experience. I want to emphasize that I recognize and appreciate the immense effort, passion, and precision that go into creating a restaurant of this caliber. It’s clear that the team behind it is dedicated to their craft. However, with more attention to the balance between service and comfort, a greater focus on flavor, and some refinements in the overall atmosphere, the experience could truly match the level of investment that has been put into it.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted, and our coats were carefully taken. The staff was both exceptionally friendly and highly professional, ensuring a flawless experience. The tasting menu was outstanding, with each dish beautifully presented and thoughtfully explained, making it truly unforgettable. Fabio, in particular, stood out for his kindness and professionalism, adding to the restaurant’s impeccable service.

This was the highlight of our trip to Europe. Fabio and Elsie were a delight. The chefs were amazing. I found out last minute that I had a new allergy to seafood and they rearranged the menu to accompany my needs. My husband, sister, and I will come back the next chance we get and we will continue to praise CLOS for their attention to detail, hospitality, and ingenuity with flavor. If you’re considering an experience here, please do it. You will be so glad that you did.

Wow! You must visit this Michelin Star restaurant when you come to Madrid. We were celebrating my husbands 60th Birthday so it was a very special occasion. The food was sublime we chose the A la Carte menu - each and every dish was presented with passion and pride - it was quite simply ‘art on a plate’ full of flavour and attention to detail. Special thanks to Kevin and Nancy for your warm welcome and exemplary service throughout. Just when we thought the evening couldn’t get any better you surpassed our expectations and presented my husband with the most exquisite birthday dessert - the whole evening will now become one of our fondest memories. Thank you so very much Team Clos.

Me and my wife jokingly made a bet about 10 Months ago and the loser would pay for a Michelin star meal. I lost the bet and when we booked our flight tickets ro Spain I found this little restaurant in a list. Booked for lunch because it’s more affordable. We had such a good meal!! No hit and miss for me although my wife found the rice that cones with the pigeon a bit too salty for her (i guess that what the reduction sauce brings with it). We did the wine pairing too and most if then were good (I was expecting more Spanish wines, but that’s me). Memorable dishes: - the first “cappuccino” soup was something very interesting. Also served in a Nespresso cup - the 4 types of butter were awesome. The smokey one was my favourite. - the fish was very simple but flavourful - venison could have been mistaken for beef, very good texture - tuna tartare was very good but I think I had better - the cider accompanying the dessert at the end was an interesting one, I didn’t guess the fruit We left full and happy!

Lunch on a sunny and pleasant Saturday at the Clos Madrid restaurant. The restaurant has 1 Michelin star, about which I read many good comments and at a fair price considering the quality of the aforementioned restaurant. 9-course meal for 124 EURO (not including the cost of the wine of course). The restaurant looks modest, the decor is quiet, refined and elegant, it doesn't try and pretend to be flashy. There is a sommelier on site, super helpful and professional. We chose a wine from New Zealand, a delicious, perfumed and wonderful HUNTER'S Sauvignon Blanc dry white wine. I loved the homemade sourdough bread and brioche with oregano, thyme and anise and four types of butter that looked like a painter's palette: tomato butter, Jamaican black sea salt pepper butter, black olive butter and smoked butter which I liked best. I also loved - Egg, seasonal mushrooms and celery ball puree, Good presentation and taste worthy of the Michelin star. Mix mushrooms with a poached egg, with a slight poke of a fork all the yolk drips over all the mushrooms. Earthy, umami flavors. Wild sea bass, cauliflower and seaweed - the fish is cooked to perfection, fresh, white and juicy. Chocolate and almond millefeuille - A chocolate dessert with truffle mushroom carvings on top was an interesting and tasty combination combining sweetness and saltiness at the same time. Then a box of surprises arrived with chocolate desserts, small and disgusting in taste. Bites, colors, textures - it's great! A thoroughly enjoyable visit to Clos, it was a good and well deserved meal. Overall, the dining experience met the high standards expected from a Michelin star restaurant, especially the main courses and desserts. Aesthetic looking dishes that combine techniques, textures, colors and flavors that blend together and create a magical symphony of pleasure and not just visual. Everything flowed pleasantly and politely as befits a star restaurant, from the atmosphere to the attentive sommelier and the rest of the staff. Friendly, formal and elegant service at the same time. A great end to our stay in Madrid.

Fantastic experience, but I thought the atmosphere could have been better. Looks low key like a normal restaurant from the interior and exterior. Nonetheless, all that matters is the food! Pros: The first soup dish was fantastic. 10/10. Was surprised by the flavour of the soup served in a Nespresso cup. I just wished they gave me more. Fish cooked in seaweed was excellent. Small feedback, the skin was a little charred, giving the fish a little too bitter after taste. I think it would have been perfect if it’s not too charred. The best dish of the day was the veggie rice. Good balance of acidity and sweetness between the veggie, rice and sauce. 10/10. Veal was cooked well. I particularly enjoyed the veal side tapas. Good sauce. The dessert and chocolate were easy 10/10. Good plating and taste. Cons: The tapas dish and butter with bread were both average for me. Did not enjoy the onion dish too.
