🍽️ At The Sun Places we know that gastronomic excellence is one of the highest expressions of luxury.
That's why we invite you to discover Restaurante DiverXO, the temple of culinary avant-garde in Madrid, led by Dabiz Muñoz. With three Michelin stars, three Repsol Suns and the title of Best Chef in the World for its chef, Restaurante DiverXO is a limitless sensory journey.
To experience this unique experience, The Sun Places offers you our Luxury Apartments in Madrid in the heart of the city, just a few minutes from the NH Collection Eurobuilding where Restaurante DiverXO is located.
Restaurante DiverXO is much more than a place to eat; it is a sensory experience, a parallel universe where creativity, hedonism and provocation go hand in hand.
Dabiz Muñoz, the Madrid-born chef who has taken Madrid's name to the heights of world gastronomy, has turned his flagship into an undisputed benchmark.
From its opening in 2007 in the Tetuán neighbourhood to its consolidation as the only three-Michelin-starred restaurant in the capital, the history of Restaurante DiverXO is the story of an obsession with breaking barriers. The Sun Places wants you to be part of this unforgettable experience.
Restaurante DiverXO is a restaurant that cannot be classified. Its cuisine, defined as "hedonistic, indulgent and creative" by its own chef, has revolutionised the Spanish gastronomic landscape.
Restaurante DiverXO, which in 2025 ranked fourth in The World's 50 Best Restaurants, is a journey through the senses that leaves no one indifferent.
Below, we tell you its fascinating history, the secrets of its menu, the awards of its chef and the universe of restaurants that make up Dabiz Muñoz's XO Universe.
📜 History of Restaurante DiverXO: From Tetuán to the top of the world
The history of Restaurante DiverXO begins in 2007, when Dabiz Muñoz, after training in restaurants in Madrid and London (he had worked in emblematic venues such as Viridiana, Hakkasan or Nobu), decided to return to his hometown and set up his own restaurant.
The chosen location was a small space in the Tetuán neighbourhood, with a very limited capacity. Those were the years of greatest creative effervescence, in which Muñoz began to define his style: a cuisine without ties, with Asian, Latin American and Spanish influences, served in a provocative and playful atmosphere.
The first Michelin star arrived in 2009, awarded for the 2010 edition. The second arrived two years later, in 2012.
But it was in 2013 that Restaurante DiverXO reached the summit: the Michelin Guide awarded it the third star, making it the only restaurant in Madrid with this highest distinction, something that had not happened in the capital for more than twenty years.
In 2014, Restaurante DiverXO moved to its current location, at the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding, a larger space designed by interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, where the decoration of flying pigs (the restaurant's symbol) and butterflies creates a dreamlike atmosphere.
In 2025, it was confirmed that Restaurante DiverXO will remain at the NH Eurobuilding at least until December 2027, the date until which the contract with Minor Hotels has been renewed.
📍 Location of Restaurante DiverXO: Where it is and how to get there
Restaurante DiverXO is located at the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding, at Calle Padre Damián, 23, in the Chamartín district, very close to the Paseo de la Castellana.
This prestigious and well-connected area is just a few minutes from the Madrid Golden Mile and the elegant Salamanca District, making it an ideal destination to combine a top-level gastronomic experience with shopping on Serrano Street or a visit to El Retiro Park.
The restaurant is accessible by public transport (Metro line 8, "Nuevos Ministerios" station, is a few minutes' walk away) and also by car, with parking at the hotel itself. From our Luxury Apartments in Madrid, you can get to Restaurante DiverXO in less than fifteen minutes by taxi.
The space, renovated and expanded, has 350 square metres, with a large staircase leading to the entrance of the main dining room, decorated with symbols of the Muñoz universe.
🏆 Dabiz Muñoz: The chef of Restaurante DiverXO, awards and recognition
Dabiz Muñoz, the chef at the helm of Restaurante DiverXO, has an impressive track record, reflecting his non-conformism and his ability to constantly reinvent himself.
In total, the Madrid-born chef has four Michelin stars: three for Restaurante DiverXO and one for RavioXO, the pasta and dumpling restaurant he opened in 2022 at the Gourmet Experience of El Corte Inglés on Serrano Street.
In addition, Restaurante DiverXO has three Repsol Suns, the highest distinction of the Repsol Guide. But perhaps the most notable recognition came in 2021, when Dabiz Muñoz was chosen "Best Chef in the World" by The Best Chef Awards, an award he repeated in 2022 and 2023, accumulating three consecutive ones.
In 2025, Restaurante DiverXO ranked fourth in The World's 50 Best Restaurants, climbing from 20th place in 2021. He has also received other awards such as the National Gastronomy Award for Best Head Chef (2010) and the International Medal of Arts at the 2024 Culture Awards.
Dabiz Muñoz is, without a doubt, one of the most recognised and admired chefs on the planet, and Restaurante DiverXO is the highest expression of his talent.
👨🍳 The XO universe: All of Dabiz Muñoz's restaurants in Spain
Dabiz Muñoz has created a true gastronomic universe (the "XO Universe") in Madrid, with concepts ranging from extreme haute cuisine to the most irreverent street food. In addition to Restaurante DiverXO, his restaurants in Spain are:
- StreetXO: Opened in 2012 at the Gourmet Experience of El Corte Inglés on Serrano Street (number 47), it is the most informal, mischievous and festive version of Muñoz's cuisine. Its proposal is "haute street food". StreetXO has one Michelin star and one Repsol Sun.
- RavioXO: Opened in May 2022 on the sixth floor of El Corte Inglés on Serrano Street, it is a restaurant specialising in pasta and dumplings of Asian and Italian inspiration. RavioXO obtained one Michelin star and one Repsol Sun.
- GOXO: It is Dabiz Muñoz's home delivery and food truck project, born during the COVID-19 pandemic. GOXO has had a Repsol Sun since 2023.
In addition to these establishments in Madrid, Dabiz Muñoz opened a branch of StreetXO in Dubai in 2024, and maintained StreetXo London (in Mayfair) between 2016 and 2020.
🍽️ The menu of Restaurante DiverXO: "The Kitchen of the Flying Pigs"
The tasting menu at Restaurante DiverXO is called "The Kitchen of the Flying Pigs" and is a sensory journey of more than twenty courses lasting approximately four hours. Currently, the price of the menu is 450 euros per person.
Two pairing options can be added to this price: one of selected wines (€300) and another of exceptional wines (€600).
In addition, Dabiz Muñoz has created a non-alcoholic liquid menu called "Metamorphosis", which is served in parallel to the solid menu.
Among the most emblematic dishes at Restaurante DiverXO are:
- Galician lobster waking up on the beaches of Goa: A tribute to Hispanic-Asian fusion, with Galician lobster marinated with spices and coconut milk.
- Flying Pigs: The symbol of the restaurant, which appears in the decoration, tableware and different meat preparations.
- Pad Thai that is not pad thai: The "secret" dish on the menu, a reinterpretation of the Thai classic with Galician clam, wok-toasted lobster, cured egg yolk and three sauces.
- Nigiri aged in the Pyrenees: A combination of Japanese techniques and high mountain Spanish products.
- Japanese paella: A rice with Japanese influences that breaks the mould of traditional paella.
- Roasted caviar with vindaloo curry and Greek yoghurt: An explosion of flavours and textures, where the power of the curry is balanced by the acidity of the yoghurt.
The experience at Restaurante DiverXO is completed with a theatrical presentation: the dishes are served on plain white ceramics, and are assembled at the table in phases, turning the meal into a "canvas" that the diner discovers little by little.
