Precision, Purity, and Personal Vision
At Gaytán, chef Javier Aranda strips fine dining down to its essentials: honest ingredients, masterful technique, and a deeply personal narrative. Awarded a Michelin star, this serene space in northern Madrid offers a quietly immersive tasting menu experience, where the open kitchen becomes both stage and sanctuary.
The design is clean and modern—white walls, fluid lines, and an open-plan layout that invites diners into the creative process. Aranda’s cuisine is rooted in Castilian tradition, yet interpreted through a lens of minimalism and balance. Expect dishes that highlight a single, perfect product—sea urchin, pigeon, razor clams—treated with exacting technique and served with restrained elegance.
Each element on the plate serves a purpose. Sauces are poured with care, textures are finely calibrated, and the flow of the menu feels more like a composed symphony than a show of fireworks.
Gaytán is for those who appreciate craftsmanship over theatrics—where every bite tells a story, and nothing is there by accident.
