Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has been spotted in Madrid. Again. This time, with a tablecloth in front of him. Arnau Nogues, investor, market analyst and founder of Boring Capital, said in his X account: “I’m having dinner next to Jeff Bezos and he’s not kidding”. The setting: Ten con Ten, one of those restaurants in the Salamanca neighborhood where time passes but the public does not change.
The place, which defines itself as “a cosmopolitan place to meet to enjoy and talk about life“, has been consolidated for more than a decade as a meeting point for celebrities, businessmen and those who wear shirts even on Sundays. Chef Sandro Silva, who has built a gastronomic empire from this exact spot on Ayala Street, continues to fill the dining room with dishes such as semolina risotto with truffle, roasted octopus or morels with foie gras cream. High-voltage cuisine and clientele that responds to the profile.
A bachelor party in Madrid
The newspaper El Mundo has reported the reason why Jeff Bezos arrived in Madrid on May 15 (in the middle of San Isidro): to celebrate his bachelor party. While his fiancée Lauren Sanchez is doing the same in Paris, the American tycoon is having fun in the Salamanca neighborhood. In a date that serves as a preview of a wedding that will take place in Venice between June 24 and 26.
It is unclear where Jeff Bezos continued the party. While some media indicate that the nightclub visited was Blondie – one of the most exclusive clubs on the Golden Mile, where you can drink bottles of champagne worth more than €12,000 – other TikTok users have left a visual record that Bezos enjoyed the atmosphere of Castellana 8. El Mundo, however, indicates that the place was none other than Gunilla Club.
Jeff Bezos and his relationship with Madrid
The visit should not come as a surprise, but it is surprising. Especially because it is the second time in a short time that Bezos appears linked to very specific references of the Madrid map. The previous one was in Capas Seseña, the historic store on Calle de la Cruz that has dressed figures such as Picasso, Fellini and Ava Gardner. The founder of Amazon stopped by to get a cape as a souvenir mug. According to the Financial Times, the current owner of the business still remembers the visit.
Now, Bezos is making his presence felt again, and he is doing so in a restaurant that ten years ago was said to be the place to be. Based on the reservations and the who’s coming, who’s going, who’s coming, it seems that it has not ceased to be so.
