La Morera is the latest Madrid outpost from Pablo González Conejero, the two-Michelin-starred chef behind Cabaña Buenavista in Murcia. At this elegant but unpretentious space in Chamberí, he brings the soul of southeastern Spain into a modern, urban context—balancing tradition with technique, comfort with complexity.
The menu focuses on the richness of Murcian cuisine: orchard vegetables, rice dishes, seafood, and stews—reimagined with refined plating and contemporary textures. While rooted in regional memory, the cooking is forward-looking, confident, and refreshingly unshowy. Expect elevated versions of zarangollo, squid with alioli foam, or rabbit with nuanced, earthy sauces—alongside a sharp and thoughtful wine list.
The room itself is intimate and inviting—clean lines, warm tones, and just enough detail to feel curated but never overdone. For those looking to taste the depth of Spain beyond the usual regions, La Morera is a masterclass in quiet excellence.
