This restaurant is located in one of the most stately neighbourhoods in Madrid, by crossing a private alleyway you could once reach the stables belonging to Marques de Salamanca. It has 3 floors with a wooden structure and a glass roof and is elegant, luxurious, comfortable, intimate and quiet.
The Amparo restaurant is considered to be one of the best in Madrid however it has faced some criticism for its lack of creativity in the kitchen. Ramón Roteta, Carlos Posadas (student to Bras), Arrambide, Iñigo Pérez- Martín Berasategui...have all spent time working here. Today it leads the way in 'New Basque' cuisine.
Impeccable service and an excellent selection of wines, liquers, cigars... Recommended.
