In February 2025, the Tragaluz Group opened its
eponymous restaurant in Madrid, consolidating its
presence in the capital after the success of establi-
shments such as Bar Tomate, Bosco de Lobos and
Luzi Bombón. Located at Calle Gil de Santivañes, 6, in
the exclusive Salamanca neighbourhood and just a few
steps from the Puerta de Alcalá, Tragaluz Madrid stands
as a space where Mediterranean cuisine with an Italian
accent meets an interior design that invites contempla-
tion and enjoyment. This opening is a symbolic milestone
for the group, as it recovers the name that gave rise to its
history, paying tribute to its philosophy of fusion between
cuisine, aesthetics and sensory experience, now with a
contemporary look adapted to the pulse of Madrid.
A design that captivates the senses
The restaurant's interior design was conceived by Eduar-
do Arruga, from Estudio Lucca, who has created an at-
mosphere that balances elegance and war-
mth. The space is centred around a large
skylight that floods the main room with natu-
ral light during the day, transforming it into a
cosy corner at nightfall. The central bar with
an open kitchen allows diners to watch the
culinary art in action, while strategically pla-
ced mirrors amplify the feeling of spacious-
ness.
The indoor bar evokes the intimacy of a
home, with elements such as 18th-century
bookcases, a wardrobe with antique doors
and a velvet sofa that invite you to relax with
a cocktail and good music. Outside, a green-
house surrounded by greenery and wooden
and slate furniture offers an oasis of tranqui-
llity in the middle of the city..
