Cebo Madrid

“Excellent tasting menu. Creative but also rich in first class product. I loved the red prawn and the virrey. Ambiance is quite nice, very cozy and spacious. Good pacing starting in the lounge then moving to see the ingredients and have a bite prepared by the chefs (like they do in Frantzen), before moving to your table. Overall a great experience and well recommended for a fine dining experience in Madrid.”

“Enjoyed an anniversary dinner with my wife in Madrid. Food was exceptional, presented and xecuted well. The staff was attentive and had a nice system in place. Wine selection was wonderful, enjoying a white rioja-Suane.”

“We have treated ourselves on a very nice Michelin dining experience in Madrid. CEBO is certainly recommended with some very original plates in a cozy intimate setting. What I actually did not enjoy (but can understand as serving 13 courses requires some structure) was the high velocity that plates were exchanged for new ones.”

“It was a lovely experience, and I’m going to attribute the 4 ⭐️ to a difference in palates I do not have a European palate therefore I felt many many dishes were overly salty or not balanced well for my palate. Maybe I’ve had too much Iberian Jamon at this stage. Many of my plates were taken away from me with food still on the plate, and as wasteful as that is, some items I simply did not wish to continue eating. The dining experience itself was quite lovely in terms of moving through the restaurant and being immersed in different ways Service was surprisingly a little lacking as servers weren’t sufficiently attentive, to the standard that I would expect of a one star Michelin restaurant anyway. Actually not everyone, but the training of staff was so varied. We usually always tip when we attend Michelin starred restaurants as the service is usually amazing, but this was a rare occasion we felt service didn’t warrant a tip.”

“The staff were great, though the food itself left me wanting more. My table of two wasn’t able to finish the full course, though this was more due to our own circumstances - traveling had thrown off our appetites - so I wouldn’t consider that a fault of the restaurant. Although, other guests says that they were struggling towards the end as well. The meal began on a strong note, with dishes that offered interesting textures and flavors. However, as the courses went on, many revolved around a single protein (often fish) paired with sauce. This repetition made the experience feel somewhat flat, and we found ourselves wishing for more variety - whether in texture, acidity, or creativity. Mostly everything was raw fish, that was warmed up with a sauce or technique. At a certain point, I had thought to myself, "Can we please stop with the raw fish and sauce combo. I'm getting sick of this". This is not the thought to have, and made me fuller sooner. Overall, while I deeply appreciated the service, I’ve had more memorable experiences at other Michelin-starred restaurants. This one, perhaps, just wasn’t the best match for my taste.”
