\"Jardines

Jardines de Sabatini Apartosuites (\u00a9\u00c1lvaro L\u00f3pez del Cerro).<\/p><\/div>\n

Rooftop bars<\/strong> with amazing views. Lush garden<\/strong> oases on terra firma. Pick one and enjoy all of the flavours the summer has to offer.<\/p>\n

UP HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Azotea del C\u00edrculo<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The rooftop of C\u00edrculo de Bellas Artes<\/strong><\/a> boasts one of the most spectacular views of Madrid, offering an unbeatable prospect of its cityscape, including the nearby buildings on Gran V\u00eda avenue. Located next to the statue of Minerva<\/strong> that crowns the building, this bar and restaurant is one of Madrid\u2019s hottest summer spots, especially after dark. On the menu, you\u2019ll find roasted artichokes topped with Manchego cheese, stewed calamari and caramelised onion, grilled Iberian pork shoulder with baby broccoli… and wonderful cocktails. Fancy a mojito under the stars? It\u2019s almost like being at the beach.<\/p>\n

Terraza 360\u00ba<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With a height of 117 metres, the Edificio Espa\u00f1a building, which now houses the Hotel RIU Plaza Espa\u00f1a<\/strong><\/a>, is the eighth tallest building in the city. At the very top, on its 27th floor, you\u2019ll find this terrace bar with 360\u00ba views of practically the whole of Madrid. In the foreground, there\u2019s the Temple of Debod, Casa de Campo Park, the Royal Palace, the Telef\u00f3nica building and Gran V\u00eda avenue. In the background, the view seems to go on forever! Domes and rooftops, green spaces… An entire map unfolds before our eyes. It doesn\u2019t have a restaurant (although they serve a few nibbles to go with the drinks), but what it does have is a walkway with a glass floor<\/strong> that\u2019s not for the faint of heart. Gran V\u00eda is right below it. Very, very far below. If you\u2019re not a guest at the hotel you\u2019ll need to buy a ticket (\u20ac5 on weekdays and \u20ac10 at weekends and public holidays).<\/p>\n

Ginkgo Sky Bar<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Located on the 12th floor of the Hotel VP Plaza Espa\u00f1a Design<\/strong><\/a>, this sky bar is named after the ginkgo biloba tree, whose fan-shaped leaves feature heavily in the ceiling decorations on the covered part of the space, which also have mirrors that reflect the trees in the street. The menu has a strong focus on Mediterranean and Asian dishes<\/strong>, and the cocktail list includes both classic and contemporary drinks.<\/p>\n

Terraza Cibeles<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Toasting with a glass of wine while enjoying views of Madrid\u2019s most famous fountain can be a memorable experience. You\u2019ll need to go up to the sixth floor of Cibeles Palace<\/strong> <\/a>to get to this rooftop bar with an extensive cocktail list that includes the \u201cCibeles\u201d, made with a base of orange, pineapple, strawberry and watermelon.<\/p>\n

El Jard\u00edn de Diana<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The rooftop bar on the 10th floor of the Hotel Hyatt Centric Gran V\u00eda Madrid<\/strong> <\/a>is named after the Roman goddess Diana the Huntress. A statue of her crowns the building. The menu offers finger food (tacos, croquettes, hummus, etc.) and fun cocktails like the Very Well Manzango, made with mango, spicy apple syrup and lime juice.<\/p>\n

Picalagartos<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the Hotel NH Collection Gran V\u00eda<\/strong><\/a> you\u2019ll find this space consisting of a restaurant with views on the 8th floor and a sky bar offering a prospect of the city\u2019s most emblematic rooftops. As for the cocktails, here are two suggestions: the Esperpento and the Bohemio, whose names allude to Valle-Incl\u00e1n and his play Luces de Bohemia, in which Pica Lagartos was a tavern owner.<\/p>\n

Jardines de Sabatini Apartosuites<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A unique place to enjoy the best views of the Royal Palace<\/strong> and the most spectacular sunsets in the city, if you look out towards the Temple of Debod. Cocktails and a chilled-out atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Do\u00f1aluz<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

American fusion cuisine<\/strong> on a rooftop space inspired by the colonial courtyards of Cartagena de Indias. A courtyard that has Puerta del Sol right below it, of course.<\/p>\n

GARDEN OASES<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Florida Retiro<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are various spaces in this bar\/restaurant in El Retiro Park, located in what was once the legendary nightclub Florida Park<\/strong>. Although you can have dinner at El Pabell\u00f3n, now that summer has arrived it\u2019s tempting to enjoy La Terraza<\/strong>, tucked amidst the treetops and next to the building’s iconic dome, built by King Ferdinand VII. The magical sunsets combine to perfection with the fresh cuisine (salads, salmon tacos, mini burgers, fried calamari with citrus mayonnaise, etc.) and the varied range of cocktails. Down on terra firma there\u2019s another outdoor space, Los Kioskos<\/strong>, a sort of gastro-market whose offerings are a bit more casual and fun.<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 del R\u00edo<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Located in the heart of Madrid R\u00edo Park<\/strong>, this caf\u00e9 boasts a delightful vantage point offering views of the Royal Palace, La Almudena Cathedral and the dome of the Basilica of San Francisco el Grande. Some of the dishes on the menu send us on a journey to southern Spain. There are Andalusian-style fried calamari strips, marinated dogfish like that found in the Bay of C\u00e1diz, Cordoba-style salmorejo (cold tomato, bread and garlic soup)… The cocktail list sends us a bit further afield.<\/p>\n

Madrid R\u00edo Caf\u00e9 Playa<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This place was built to resemble a beach bar, to live up Madrid’s very own beach on the banks of the Manzanares River<\/strong>, next to the Puente Monumental de Arganzuela bridge designed by Dominique Perrault. It offers light cuisine and cocktails perfect for summer.<\/p>\n

Raimunda<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The restaurant at Linares Palace<\/strong> has outdoor seating in an idyllic garden featuring prominent nods to Ibero-American culture. The culinary offerings are a fusion of flavours from both continents, with exotic dishes like Venezuelan teque\u00f1os with lime mojo verde sauce and meagre, avocado and mango ceviche. And the drinks are utterly tempting!<\/p>\n

Terraza Atenas<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next to Cuesta de la Vega<\/strong> in Atenas Park, with magnificent views of La Almudena Cathedral, at this classic kiosk-style bar you can enjoy everything from a frozen lemonade to a vermouth or cocktail.<\/p>\n

El jard\u00edn de Alma<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This recently opened restaurant helmed by chef Borja Segura<\/strong> has a beautiful garden terrace. There\u2019s something to suit every taste: sit down at one of its tables to enjoy everything from Andalusian gazpacho with olive oil ice cream to duck gyozas with teriyaki sauce.<\/p>\n

Bocanegra<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A new gastro-space in the Palace of the Marquis of Casa Riera<\/strong>, which has a spectacular al fresco dining area with tables where you can enjoy a casual lunch or dinner. The menu includes tuna poke, aubergine in tempura with molasses, roast beef and goat cheese sandwiches… and eleven different types of cocktails.<\/p>\n

Rubaiyat<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The outdoor dining area at this restaurant is an oasis with a colonial air<\/strong> and lush greenery. It specialises in meat cooked over the grill, but it also offers other dishes, such as bluefin tuna with black sesame, quinoa, blackberry chutney and ginger foam. Its caipiri\u00f1as are famous in Madrid.<\/p>\n

Do\u00f1a Tecla<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Palm trees, bamboo, loquats and olive trees<\/strong> give this unexpected garden right on Paseo de la Castellana a thoroughly inviting feel. The comfy lounge seating zone is the clientele\u2019s favourite spot. There\u2019s also the restaurant area, with its brightly-coloured tablecloths, and a snack area with high tables. Head there for: cocktails and raciones (small platters perfect for sharing)!<\/p>\n
