Café de Oriente restaurant is strategically located in the Oriente square making it an excellent place to enjoy Madrid de los Austrias neighbourhood, el Palacio Real...It has an air of old European cafes about it.

The restaurant is set in the cellars of the former 17th century San Gil convent. In the "salón del Aljibe" you can see part of Madrid's old city wall through the transparent floor of the restaurant. It belongs to the Lezama group.

The menu changes every season although some dishes remain all year round: la Terrina de hígado de pato, el Salteado de gambones con pasta fresca, la Lubina confitada o la Carrillera de ternera.
