The story
Under the beautiful glass dome of the Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid, Palm Court offers two distinct dining experiences: an all-day restaurant and a classic contemporary dining room. Open from 7:00, the all-day space provides a relaxed yet elegant setting for breakfast à la carte, light meals, and vegan options. At lunch and dinner, the restaurant transforms, guided by award-winning chef Quique Dacosta and hotel executive chef Thomas Stork. Together, they reinterpret the Ritz's classic dishes into modern delicacies, staying true to the spirit of classic cuisine while embracing contemporary techniques.
The Michelin Recommended recognition reflects the precision and grace of this approach. The menu changes with the seasons, offering dishes that feel both familiar and new. Whether for a leisurely lunch or a refined dinner, Palm Court delivers a consistently polished experience.
The atmosphere is defined by the striking crystal dome, which bathes the room in natural light by day and sets a warm glow in the evening. Service is attentive and unhurried, matching the hotel's legacy of hospitality. With a focus on classic cuisine, the kitchen balances tradition and innovation without fanfare.
For those seeking a lighter moment, the all-day menu also features cocktails and a children's menu. The restaurant accommodates vegetarian and vegan diets naturally, without compromising on depth of flavour. Palm Court is a destination within a destination, where the past and present of Madrid's fine dining converge.
