Diverxo - Madrid

Most fun meal I 've had in a long time and thankfully delicious with excellent service, as well! 3 Michelin star restaurant Diverxo serves some of the most inventive and creative bad ass food over 16 rounds, some of which had multiple dishes in one course. Everyone who worked at Diverxo was so kind and descriptive in their explainations. The decor and atmosphere was relaxed but classy. Just loved everything about the restaurant. I won 't spoil too much for you but have to share about my favorite bites of the night. The best dish for me (and my friend agreed! was their Minutejos del Agus. They describe it better than I ever could Crispy Iberian suckling pig sandwich, pecorino cheese, cured goose yolk, homemade siracha and suckling pig head cold cut. Peppercorns around the world and black chanterelle pesto sauce . This was the best couple bites of anything during my entire time in Spain. I 'm obsessed with this restaurant and dying to go back to where pigs can fly. Even the bathroom is cool AF! Start to finish, truly a beautiful experience and I can 't wait to return.

Great experience, not without flaw but still one I really enjoyed. The food was creative, full of flavor, great plating and dishes. The space is really unique, I love the curtain partitions where you feel like you 're in a restaurant but still feels very private. Service was great, the explanations for the dishes were wonderful and I loved the menu cards presented before the dish even arrived. The only mishap for me was at the end, it took over 20 minutes to close out the check, which at the tail end of a 4 hour meal felt excruciatingly long. My issues with the meal were that it was long but also felt very long. I was dining solo and did not want to drink much, so the later savory courses and the end dragged on a bit, some of the breaks between courses were in the 15-20 minute range which is too much (however, most were 10-12 which was great). That and the menu overall was very heavy throughout, lots of bold flavors and sauces, lots of components shining brightly individually but many courses as a whole left a little to be desired. Diner fatigue set in and with the menu I had, it was hard to predict how many courses to expect (actually thought the savory courses would end 1-2 rounds before they did), as there were so many that felt like entrees . Desserts for me were good not great, lots of fun textures and flavors but nothing overly memorable that I need to eat again. With that being said I 'm excited to return for a future menu, next time will come very hungry and well rested to best appreciate the menu and wine.

Diverxo is one of the most memorable, mindfuck meals I've had in my life. Highlight of my year and my trip, and Top 5 meals of my life so far. If you're on the fence about shelling out and splurging for this, don't be. It's honestly worth every penny. You'll be leaving extremely full and satisfied with degustation memories of a lifetime. They used a lot of seasonal ingredients, lots of proteins (especially seafood), and combined all of these into combinations that one would never expect or even think of. Some courses were familiar due to the influences the chef used from Indian, Japanese, Chinese, and even Thai cuisines, but the ingredients used are local and highlights the best of what Spain has to offer. Best bites include: the two dessert courses were absolute stunners I still day dream about the beetroot dessert course with rice pudding and pop rocks up to this day the salad course was also very surprising but so so good Indian inspired course with the buffalo milk and the lobster head was a total umami bomb We also celebrated my mom's bday and the restaurant presented us with a massive cake with a small ganache chocolate cake inside this was a total surprise but highly appreciated Most restaurants are only for the gram and nothing else all smoke. But I can confidently say that Diverxo is not that it truly does live up to its hype and proves that mindfucking good food can be visually appealing art too.

Absolutely amazing. Great service, wildly innovative and delicious food, and great aesthetic.

I came in with lofty expectations and they just weren't met. Ambiance and service were top notch. Pace of the meal was too long, but it almost had to be that way because the portion sizes were so big, no one could finish it sooner. There were some great dishes like the waygu, both desserts and the sushi, but there were too many total bombs like the eel pasta, pork dumpling, salad, and pigeon. Plating was top notch. The bigger issue is meal construction, it was heavy from start to finish. There was no amuse, first dish was a heavy spinach and venison. Every day was meat forward and heavy. It became an utter enjoyable chore. Not a veggie dish at all, hell almost never a veggie anywhere. Hugely disappointing.
