It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it is no less true that if the beholder is a committee of experts with a high level of design knowledge, their opinion is more reliable. The team of people who make up the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards choose year after year the most beautiful restaurants the list of nominees has already been published this year.
There are more than 200 establishments from around the world and varied categories ranging from enlightenment to luxury to sustainability. Spain is represented by seven restaurants, two of which are recent openings in Madrid.
2024 will also be the first year in which the awards gala will take place for the first time outside London and will be held in Barcelona.
Madrid restaurants nominated
Last year, another ranking (in this case by Holidayguru) gave the prize for the most beautiful restaurant in Spain to Perrachica and on this occasion, the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards have determined that there are two restaurants in Madrid that are particularly beautiful.
One of them is Parrilla Ceferino (Jorge Juan, 27), an Argentinean steakhouse by the Jorge Campos studio that stands out in the lighting category. It represents the boom of Argentine steakhouses in Madrid – headed by large steakhouses such as Lana, Piantao or Los 33- and behind him is grill master José Antonio Figueroa.
And the other restaurant is Bestial (Calle del Prado, 4) by In Design studio, which is nominated in up to seven categories (such as light, luxury or color). Bestial is in a sweet mood, and never better said, because a few weeks ago he won the award for the best cheesecake in Madrid which is made with cured sheep’s cheese from Campo Real and sells for nine euros.
