Cilindro, Peruvian restaurant in Salamanca district, Madrid, Spain.
Cilindro is a Peruvian restaurant in Madrid's Salamanca district that specializes in ceviches, including green varieties made with huacatay and mango. The menu features classic South American dishes that showcase the diversity of regional cooking traditions.
The restaurant grew from the success of Ronda 14, an earlier venture by Mario and Conchi that introduced Peruvian-Asturian fusion cooking to Madrid. This blend of two culinary traditions continues to shape the restaurant's approach today.
The name comes from a traditional Peruvian tool used for smoking and braising, referencing cooking techniques that define South American food culture.
The restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of Salamanca, surrounded by easy access to other shops and transport options in the neighborhood. Planning ahead helps since service runs in two seatings separated by a significant break during the afternoon.
The menu includes gyozas filled with anticucho, a traditional Peruvian street food, paired with ají limo chili and fresh cilantro. This unexpected combination shows how Asian and South American elements meet creatively in the kitchen.
