Zalacaín is located
in the vicinity of la
Castellana near la plaza
Gregorio Marañón.
It was established 33
years ago by the owners
of Príncipe
de Viana (Chelo
Apalategui and Jesús
Oyarbide). For a long
time it has been one of
the leading restaurants
in Madrid. Zalacaín
takes it name from the
well known adventurer
Pío Baroja.
According to some critics
Zalacaín has everything.
It is elegant and pays
very careful attention
to every detail. From
the exclusive design of
its glassware to the cutlery.
It has 15 chefs, 20 waiters
and waitresses...Its clientele
include important politicians,
business men and women
and government officials...
Excellent table service.
It has 3 adjoining dining
rooms and 4 private function
rooms, all of them luxuriously
decorated.
Rigourous selection of
only the best fresh ingredients.
The cuisine in Zalacaín
continues to follow the
recently retired Benjamín
Urdiain's philosophy which
is something very special.
The menu has mostly traditional
dishes exquisitely prepared
to perfection, although
some innovative dishes
are slowly being incorporated.
José Jiménez
Blas is in charge of the
dining room. Custodio
López Zamarra is
in charge of an impressive
wine cellar with 1200
wines on the wine list.
Zalacaín has
been awarded one Michelin
star. Some believe it
deserves more.
Four years ago a new
restaurant In Zalacaín
opened which offers catering
for big events like weddings...etc.
Guaranteed quality.
