Casa Suecia, Fine dining restaurant in central Madrid, Spain
Casa Suecia is a restaurant occupying multiple levels in downtown Madrid with dining spaces, a rooftop terrace, and a cocktail bar featuring Art Deco design. The venue has hosted patrons across these distinct areas for meals and beverages.
The establishment opened in 1956 as a gathering place for Swedish expatriates and writers seeking intellectual companionship. Among its early patrons were notable literary figures who made it a meeting point during Madrid's mid-century cultural life.
The interior design by Lázaro Rosa-Violán uses wood furnishings and upholstered seating arranged to create separate dining zones. Large windows frame views of the surrounding Madrid streets and allow daylight to define the dining experience throughout the day.
The restaurant opens daily with extended evening hours and stays open later on weekends compared to weekday evenings. Guests should plan their visits accounting for these schedule variations throughout the week.
Hidden within the venue is Clandestino, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar reached through concealed doorways and decorated with vintage pieces spanning different eras. This secret space offers a different mood compared to the main restaurant floors.
