66.Asian-Mediterranean Fusion
Bacira
Madrid, Spain
A Chamberí restaurant where three chefs trained in Mediterranean, Japanese, and Nikkei cooking share one kitchen and one Michelin Bib Gourmand. The menu is built for sharing, moving between Pacific scallops with jalapeño aguachile and pig's ear mollete with Korean salsa. At a mid-range price point in one of Madrid's most residential neighbourhoods, it sits apart from the city's high-formality fusion tier.

74.Modern Spanish Tapas
La Maruca
Madrid, Spain
La Maruca on Paseo de la Castellana brings Cantabrian coastal cooking to Madrid's Chamartín district, anchoring the à la carte in Santander tradition rather than capital-city innovation.

76.Winery
Baša vino
Madrid, Spain
Baša vino is better understood through Rueda than through Madrid: a modern, quiet, intimate Spanish wine reference built around Verdejo, old vines, stainless-steel clarity, and Telmo Rodríguez’s broader recovery of historic vineyard sites. Its appeal is not ceremony but precision, with a $$ positioning and critic recognition that place it in the reliable, terroir-led drinking lane.

Bosque de Matasnos, S.A.
Madrid, Spain
Bosque de Matasnos, S.A. belongs to the altitude-led side of Ribera del Duero: estate-grown Tinto Fino from a 220-hectare woodland, shaped by cold winters, dry summers, sandy-clay soils, limestone and marl. The interest here is not spectacle, but the way forest cover, elevation and strict fruit handling push Ribera structure into a more terroir-specific register.
