Since 2005
T he art of running a restaurant demands more than kit-
chen skill. It requires consistency, honesty, and res-
pect for the craft. In Madrid, where novelty reigns and
restaurants follow one another at the dizzying pace
of trends, KZEN has stood firm in its quiet resistance. For twenty
years, this restaurant on Calle O’Donnell, in the heart of the Sala-
manca district and just steps from El Retiro, has upheld a truly Asian
proposal, without makeup or excess.
A clear commitment to traditional elegance: dark woods, oriental
details, and soft lighting that wraps each table. At KZEN, the spotli-
ght is on the table and conversation, thanks to a relaxed atmosphe-
re designed for unhurried enjoyment. Nothing feels excessive or out
of place; everything responds to that sober and warm balance that
distinguishes great classic Asian restaurants.
