If you are planning a trip to Madrid, don't forget to uncover the seductiveness of the forbidden with some of the city’s hidden gastronomy treasures. These secret bars and restaurants are tucked away behind art galleries, luxurious home décor shops, clandestine apartments, or even uneventful parking garages. Don’t worry if you don’t know where they are — we’ve got you covered. Here are some of Madrid’s best-kept secrets.

Kikekeller

By day, Kikekeller is a designer furniture and décor shop. But once the lights dim, it transforms into a clandestine bar right in the heart of Madrid’s hippest neighborhood. The dual identity gives it a playful and exclusive vibe.

Palermo

Housed in the garage of a villa in Arturo Soria, Palermo has the aura of a New York speakeasy from Prohibition times. Its eccentric location and irresistible atmosphere make it the perfect spot to impress someone.

Pinkoco

During the day, Pinkoco is a boho natural cosmetics store with tropical décor, costume jewelry, and women’s accessories. But after 6 p.m., it becomes a chic Italian bar serving appetizers and cocktails — only until midnight, when it disappears back into a cosmetics store.

Club Clandestino

Hidden beneath Cannibal Raw, this vaulted basement bar keeps things exclusive. Open until 6 a.m., Club Clandestino serves cocktails and hosts concerts. There’s a catch, though — you’ll need a monthly-changing password to get in, making local connections your ticket to entry.

Fellina Restaurante

Behind matte black wooden doors lies Fellina, an Italian restaurant with a concise menu and impeccable interior. But below it hides the password-protected Anonimo Club. Entry is earned, not granted, and those who pass are transported to a 1930s-inspired world of cocktails, champagne, and caviar. What happens underground stays there — so bring your best self and hope luck is on your side.

If you’re visiting Spain’s capital soon, make sure to seek out one of these hidden treasures — if you can find them.
