The Kabuki restaurant is located in the North of Madrid. It is decorated in a minimalist style and is one of the best Japanese restaurants in the capital. Similar to Ars Vivendi, the restaurant is run by a Spaniard, Ricardo Sanz de Castro, with Nipponese influences from Tokyo Taro, but with some Spanish touches (he has also worked for Restaurante Nodo).
Ricardo is an expert in preparing fish dishes and is well known for his originality and application of new techniques. He pays great attention to creativity and textures in his recipes. His cuisine integrates olive oil and Japanese flavours inherited from and Masao Kikuchi (today in Marbella)
Little by little he has gained many fans of his dishes such as 'hígado de rape macerado', 'la hijada de atún' or 'los langostinos con copos de maíz'. He prepares exotic dishes such as 'el Pez mantequilla con paté de trufa', 'aceite de setas' or 'cebolleta con caviar de arenque y nabo amarillo'.
Sanz also prepares his meat dishes creatively. On the set menu there are many types of Spanish meat to try such as pork from Huelva, ox from Esla de León, young deer and exotic meats such as bison from Canada, ox from Waygu, New Zealand, duck from Colber etc...
A varied selection of very acceptable wines. Efficient
service. Prices tend to be high. A very popular restaurant.
