Macao, Asian fusion restaurant in Calle Príncipe, Madrid, Spain
Macao is a restaurant on Calle Príncipe in central Madrid that serves both Spanish tapas and dishes inspired by Asian cooking. The menu moves between these two styles, offering small plates suited to sharing at the table.
The restaurant opened in 2018 at Calle Príncipe 16 in Madrid, in a neighborhood already known for its many bars and restaurants. From the start, it positioned itself around the idea of bringing Spanish tapas and Asian cooking to the same table.
The kitchen blends Spanish and Asian cooking traditions through dishes that feel at home in both cultures. You can taste how the two styles support each other in every preparation.
The restaurant is within easy walking distance of Puerta del Sol, making it simple to reach from most central Madrid locations. A reservation is a good idea, particularly on weekend evenings when the space fills up.
The name references the former Portuguese territory in China, a place historically known as a meeting point between Europe and Asia. This choice is not accidental, since it echoes exactly what the kitchen tries to do with its menu.
