Arallo Madrid

Asturian-Asian Fusion in Madrid's Heart

Cesar from Madrid

About me I was born in Madrid, but I've lived here and there due to my job in the tech industry, having spent half my life traveling the world. Thanks to that, I've had the chance to meet people from all sorts of cultures and with diverse tastes. This sparked my curiosity to learn more about how people live in their own countries. Eventually, I left the tech industry and ...
"This harmonious blend is evident in every dish, from the petite, intricately crafted bites to the more substantial, hearty plates."

Stepping into Arallo, you're immediately struck by its distinctive industrial ambiance. Exposed pipes and raw concrete create an edgy backdrop, offering a contemporary twist to the dining experience. Perfectly positioned near the iconic Gran Vía in Madrid, Arallo is not just a restaurant, but a culinary theatre. Diners are spoilt for choice when it comes to seating options. Whether you prefer to be at the heart of the action, watching chefs craft dishes at the expansive counter, or seek a more intimate setting at high tables, regular tables, or even in a private room, Arallo caters to every preference.

However, it's Arallo's unique culinary offerings that truly steal the show. Venturing into the realm of Asturian-Asian fusion, the menu is a delightful symphony of flavors, drawing inspiration from not only Spain and Asia but also from other corners of the globe. This harmonious blend is evident in every dish, from the petite, intricately crafted bites to the more substantial, hearty plates. The balance is impeccable, and each dish tells a story of tradition meeting innovation.

Adding to the overall experience, the attentive staff often recommend half-portions where suitable, a gesture that speaks volumes about their commitment to ensuring a tailored dining experience for every guest. Arallo is a gastronomic gem in the heart of Madrid. It's a place where design meets culinary artistry and where every bite tells a story of two worlds colliding in the most delicious way possible.
