Paco Roncero

The restaurant first opened its doors in late 1990 under the name La Terraza del Casino. Located on the top floor of the iconic NH Collection Real Casino de Madrid, in the heart of the capital on Calle Alcalá, it has been helmed by Madrid-born chef Paco Roncero since the year 2000. The name change came at the end of 2019, as a natural evolution of the close relationship between the chef and culinary director, Paco Roncero, and the company Minor Hotels Europe & Americas. For over 30 years, this space has been Paco Roncero’s home—his refuge, his place for reflection and creation.

Paco Roncero Restaurante holds 2 MICHELIN Stars, 3 Repsol Suns, and is featured in the prestigious 50 Best Discovery guide by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Paco Roncero himself is also one of the most acclaimed figures in global gastronomy, recognized as one of just ninety-seven chefs worldwide to hold the distinction of three knives, according to the international The Best Chef Awards.

A modern, cosmopolitan restaurant, it offers a cutting-edge gastronomic experience within a carefully curated interior designed by Jaime Hayon and a stunning outdoor terrace crafted by Julio Guixeres—both of whom have created the perfect atmosphere for guests to enjoy the cuisine of chef Paco Roncero.

Now, at a moment of personal and professional fulfillment, Paco Roncero presents a 24-course tasting menu that perfectly reflects his culinary maturity and creative strength. It is a bold and inspiring journey where contemporary technique harmonizes with the essence of traditional—and at times even primitive and ancestral—cuisine.

In his own words:
“This menu is the result of playing and experimenting with everything that has shaped my personality and culinary path. It is also the outcome of looking to the past and the future from a privileged and comfortable position—one that allows me to create with passion and with the sole purpose of moving and delighting each guest.”
