10 restaurants with Christmas menus in central Madrid

Madrid at Christmas has two modes: lights + carols or lights + 'where are we eating?'. If you're in the centre (or staying around Malasaña/Gran Vía, hello 👋), these places have special Christmas 2025/26 menus for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, Epiphany, or group dinners. Here are 10 real options, with set menus and all the festive mood.

If you want 'Christmas with a view', this is your spot. They offer a special Christmas Eve menu (shared starters + mains + dessert) and also a New Year’s Eve dinner with the option to head up and welcome the new year overlooking Sol. One detail to note: they publish specific prices and dishes.

The Principal Madrid (Ático Restaurant & Terraza)

An elegant rooftop for group menus (available from December to early January, according to their document), with booking policies, group size ranges, and a wine selection (including a premium option). If you're after a well-organised event, this is usually a solid choice.

Casa Suecia (NH Collection Madrid Suecia – Barrio de Las Letras)

2025/26 holiday menus in PDF format, with practical info (contact details, conditions, prices per person, discounts for children, etc.). A very good option if you want something central and celebration-ready without overcomplicating things.

Café Comercial (Glorieta de Bilbao)

A Madrid classic with very 'happy group' Christmas menus: cocktails with mini calamari sandwiches, croquettes, steak tartare... and seated options for something a bit more formal (but still lively). Their PDF includes prices and drinks.

Café de Oriente (Plaza de Oriente)

For those who want Christmas with an elegant vibe and a prime location (right by the Royal Palace). They have a comprehensive PDF with group Christmas menus for 2025, including prices (various tiers), featuring dishes like turbot, sirloin steak, torrijas (Spanish-style French toast), and a glass of cava.

If you're into 'gala Christmas', this is the place. They publish a 2025 Christmas PDF with special dinners and lunches (including a Christmas Eve gala dinner, among others). Perfect for an important night (or to end the year in cinematic style).

More intimate, more 'charming bar + well-set table'. They publish 2025 Christmas menus (seated format) with prices and conditions (including drinks per person). Ideal for groups who want to eat VERY well without excessive showiness.

Only YOU Boutique Hotel Madrid (Chueca area)

More 'boutique Christmas': a menu for Christmas Day (25th December) and a vegetarian alternative, with per-person pricing and drinks included in the PDF. It's one of those places for when you want to celebrate quietly but with quality.

Con Dos Fogones (Madrid Centro)

If you're looking for a company/group dinner with clear options and prices, this place makes it easy: Christmas menus in tiers (including drinks, homemade desserts, a glass for toasting, etc.) and the season starts in November. Perfect for organising quickly without stress.

This is heavy artillery: they publish a PDF with Christmas Day lunch, New Year’s Eve dinner (with an open bar until a set time), and also special meals (New Year’s Day / Epiphany). With detailed prices, schedules, and menus.

How to choose quickly without overthinking it

Realistic note: at Christmas, menus sell out fast and may change depending on availability and dates. Always confirm conditions and allergens when booking (especially if you're a group).
