A short distance from central Madrid, in the heart of the La Moraleja residential area, one of Madrid’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, is the Áurea restaurant, a gastronomic temple belonging to the Paraguas Group that has managed to seduce both demanding locals and international visitors. Opened in September 2024, this restaurant has become a favourite of Richard Gere and Alejandra Silva, who frequent it with ease and familiarity, making it part of their daily life in Madrid.
An elegant and versatile space
Áurea offers a sophisticated, bright and welcoming atmosphere, with a large central lounge and three terraces suitable for all seasons. Its colonial-style décor with light tones, abundant vegetation and careful details invites you to enjoy both a quiet lunch and an elegant dinner. It also has a gourmet grocery area where you can purchase top-quality products.
Áurea’s culinary offerings combine the best of Mediterranean cuisine with international influences. The menu features everything from cold starters such as bluefin tuna tartare with avocado and ponzu sauce to classics such as Russian salad with ventresca tuna, as well as heartier dishes such as creamy rice with lobster or grilled sea bass.
But what makes it even more special is its ability to adapt to different lifestyles. Richard Gere, known for his vegetarian and Buddhist diet, enjoys options such as grilled vegetables with romesco sauce, mushroom and black truffle risotto, and fresh seasonal salads.
An affordable luxury
Despite its exclusivity, Áurea maintains an average price of around €50 per person, making it an ideal place for a quality meal without breaking the bank. What’s more, its uninterrupted service, from breakfast to dinner, makes it perfect for any time of day.
The meeting point of La Moraleja
Áurea has marked a turning point in the gastronomic offering of this exclusive residential development. Its combination of elegance, versatility and culinary authenticity explains why it has won over so many diners.
For those seeking a place to enjoy good food in a unique setting, Áurea is now a must-visit destination in Madrid.
