DiverXO

Dabiz Muñoz · Madrid, Spain

NH Eurobuilding, Calle de Padre Damián, 23, Madrid

DiverXO is the only three-Michelin-star restaurant in Madrid and one of the most boundary-pushing restaurants anywhere. Dabiz Muñoz, voted the world's best chef by his peers, creates experiences that are as much theatre as gastronomy, fusing Asian and Spanish influences into something that defies every category.

Dabiz Muñoz opened DiverXO in 2007 and earned three Michelin stars by 2013, a pace of ascent almost without precedent in Spanish fine dining. The restaurant sits inside the NH Eurobuilding hotel in Madrid's Castellana district, in a room designed as an immersive environment: flying pigs on the ceiling, a kitchen open to the dining room, a team of chefs who plate at the table. The tasting menu runs to around 12 courses, each a multi-component composition that draws simultaneously on Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Spanish techniques. Muñoz was voted the world's best chef at The Best Chef Awards in 2022.
