Ojalá, Restaurant in Malasaña, Madrid, Spain
Ojalá occupies two floors with a contemporary dining space on the upper level featuring wooden tables and simple furnishings. The basement contains actual sand and beach-style furniture, creating a distinct indoor beach setting for meals.
The space opened in 2004 and underwent major architectural changes in 2014 directed by designer Andres Jaque. This transformation reshaped the interior layout and created the two-level design seen today.
The kitchen blends Spanish cooking traditions with global influences, offering shared plates like tapas and burgers that encourage communal dining. This approach brings together flavors from different regions into casual, approachable meals.
Located at Calle San Andrés, the restaurant serves meals throughout the day and evening. You can find breakfast options, lunch, dinner service, and a full selection of beverages across both levels.
The basement level contains real sand and beach decorations, creating an indoor beach environment where guests dine on cushions rather than chairs. This unusual interior creates a surprising dining experience you would not expect to find underground.
