Best Tasting Menus Under $200 in Madrid 2026
Chef's tasting menus under $200 · Madrid · 6 tables ranked · Updated June 2026
Compiled by the Restaurants for Kings editorial team · Published June 20, 2026 · Updated June 23, 2026
Cebo, a one-star room in the Hotel Urban, serves its 11-course Classics menu for €160 — about $173, under the line this list draws. Madrid's three-star flagships run €235 to €395, but a tighter set of starred and Repsol-Sun kitchens still plates a full menu for €60 to €160 before wine. From Rodrigo de la Calle's all-vegetable gastrobotánica to Javi Estévez's whole roasted pig's head, here is who each table suits, what to order, and how to book it. Six, ranked on the cooking and the value rather than the price alone. Prices are food-only, normalized to dollars at June 2026 rates.
1.Cebo
Sanz and Sahuquillo's one-star room in the Hotel Urban. Book the Classics menu for product-first cooking stripped to essentials.
Cebo sits inside the five-star Hotel Urban at Carrera de San Jerónimo 34 in Centro, run by chefs Javier Sanz and Juan Sahuquillo as the haute evolution of their Cañitas Maite. It holds one Michelin star and two Repsol Suns for 2026. The 11-course Classics menu is €160 — about $173 — and runs to dishes like Santoña anchovy served three ways and acorn-fed pork with the Cañitas croquette.
This is the booking for a guest who wants precise, product-led Spanish cooking in a room that seats only 22. Reserve on the Cebo site two to three weeks ahead and take the Classics over the longer Season menu to stay under the line.
Book on the Cebo site; the €160 Classics menu keeps it under $200.
2.El Invernadero
Rodrigo de la Calle's one-star, green-star room. Book the Vegetalia menu for the vegetable cooking he named gastrobotanica.
El Invernadero is chef Rodrigo de la Calle's room at Calle Ponzano 85 in Ríos Rosas, holder of a Michelin star and a Green Star for sustainability in 2024. De la Calle is the pioneer of gastrobotánica, a discipline that treats the plant kingdom as the center of the plate, and the all-vegetable Vegetalia tasting menu runs €155, about $167.
This is the table for a guest who wants the most original vegetable cooking in Madrid rather than a meat-led tasting. Reserve on the restaurant's site two to three weeks ahead; the Gastrobotánica menu adds meat and fish if you want it.
Book direct; the Vegetalia menu is the all-vegetable tasting.
3.Albora
A one-star product house off Jorge Juan. Its long menu at €93 is among Madrid's best-value stars.
Álbora sits at Calle Jorge Juan 33 in the Salamanca district, a one-star room with two Repsol Suns where chef Agustín González cooks market Spanish food built on premium suppliers like Jamones Joselito. The long tasting menu is €93 — about $100 — and the signature is a Joselito pig's head with guindilla sauce, onion petals and mint.
This is the booking for a guest who wants a Michelin star without a three-figure bill, in a polished but unstuffy room. Reserve a week or two ahead and take the long menu over a la carte.
Book on the Álbora site; the €93 long menu is the value star.
4.Triciclo
A three-chef market kitchen that lets you order in halves and thirds. Book it for range without the bill.
Triciclo opened in 2013 at Calle Santa María 28 in the Barrio de las Letras, run by three chefs — Javier Goya, Javier Mayor and David Alfonso — and holds a Repsol Sun. Its trick is letting you order almost everything in half and third portions, so a tasting menu around €92 (about $99) can sprawl across many dishes; the steak tartar toast crowned with roe and quail egg is the one people come back for.
This is the table for a guest who wants to graze widely across a market menu rather than commit to a fixed sequence. Reserve a week ahead and ask the floor to build a tasting from half-portions.
Book on the Triciclo site; order in halves and thirds to range wide.
5.La Tasquería
Javi Estévez's one-star offal house. Book The Menu for whole roasted pig's head and the most fearless cooking in town.
La Tasquería is chef Javi Estévez's one-star room, which moved in 2024 to Calle Modesto Lafuente in Chamberí and is devoted almost entirely to offal. The tasting menus run €55 to €90 — the top one about $97 — and the signature, always available even when it is off the printed card, is a whole roasted suckling-pig's head, cured overnight and flash-fried.
This is the booking for an adventurous guest who wants the city's boldest cooking at a one-star price. Reserve on the La Tasquería site two weeks ahead and ask for the pig's head when you sit.
Book on the La Tasquería site; ask for the roasted pig's head.
6.Lakasa
César Martín's market room where half-portions build your own tasting. The best-value serious table on the list.
Lakasa is chef-owner César Martín's room in Ríos Rosas, open since 2012 and holder of two Repsol Suns in 2025. Almost every dish comes in a half portion, so a self-built tasting lands around €60, about $65, and the Idiazabal cheese fritters are the dish regulars order without thinking.
This is the table for a guest who wants honest, market-driven Spanish cooking at the lowest price on this list. Reserve a few days ahead and build a tasting from half portions across the menu.
Book on the Lakasa site; build a tasting from half portions.
Over the line
Brilliant, but not under $200
DiverXO, Coque, DSTAgE and Smoked Room. Madrid's three-star and two-star flagships run €235 to €395 a head. Worth the trip, but a different list from this one.
Sen Omakase and Ramón Freixa. Both are excellent and both cross the line — Sen's omakase is about €220, Ramón Freixa's tastings run past €200.
How to book a Madrid tasting menu
The one-star rooms book direct or on their own sites two to three weeks out, with weekend seatings going first. Prices below are food-only, normalized to dollars at June 2026 rates.
For value, Lakasa and Triciclo let you order in halves and thirds and land well under the ceiling; Cebo and El Invernadero are the splurge end. At La Tasquería, ask for the pig's head even when it is off the printed menu — it is always available.
Frequently asked
What is the best tasting menu under $200 in Madrid?
Cebo holds our top spot. Chefs Javier Sanz and Juan Sahuquillo run this one-star room in the Hotel Urban, and the 11-course Classics menu is €160, about $173. It is product-first Spanish cooking stripped to essentials in a 22-seat room. Book on the Cebo site two to three weeks ahead and take the Classics over the longer Season menu.
How much does a tasting menu cost in Madrid?
On this list, a tasting menu runs from about €60 (~$65) at Lakasa up to €160 (~$173) at Cebo, all food-only and normalized to June 2026 rates. The city's three-star and two-star flagships — DiverXO, Coque, DSTAgE and Smoked Room — run €235 to €395, which is why they sit outside this guide.
Which Madrid Michelin-starred restaurants have tasting menus under $200?
Cebo (€160), El Invernadero (€155), Álbora (€93) and La Tasquería (€90) each hold a Michelin star and keep their tasting menus under $200. Triciclo and Lakasa carry Repsol Suns rather than stars and run €60 to €92, the value end of this list.
Do these Madrid tasting menus require reservations?
Yes. All six take bookings on their own websites or by phone, two to three weeks ahead for the one-stars, with weekend seatings going first. Cebo seats only 22 and La Tasquería is small, so plan furthest ahead for those and note any dietary needs.
Which Madrid tasting menu is the best value?
Lakasa, where a self-built tasting from half-portions lands around €60 (~$65), is the clear value pick, with Triciclo close behind at about €92. Both carry Repsol Suns and let you order in halves and thirds, so you can range widely without crossing $100.
