Kabuki Wellington

This Michelin-starred sushi restaurant draws Madrid’s most sophisticated diners for dinner or lunch. Entering the Wellington Hotel, you’ll pass portraits of Spain’s most famous toreadors before entering into the subdued interior space of the Kabuki. The taupe toned walls draw attention away from the architecture and towards the elegant diners, the succulent fish and, of course, the sushi bar, where expert sushi chefs prepare some of the most memorable creations you are likely to taste anywhere, some with a distinctly European flair. I’m still dreaming about the delicate butterfish nigiri topped with truffles and the fried quail egg atop rice served with Beluga caviar. The toro tuna seared with brown sugar was also otherworldly.
