In 2017 the Sandoval brothers—Mario, Diego, and Rafael—moved Coque from the small village of Humanes, on Madrid’s outskirts, to the bustling city center. Seven years on, it has accrued two Michelin stars. Don’t expect to arrive and passively take a seat at a table. The experience starts in the wine cellar, where bull steak tartar is paired with a glass of champagne. You’ll then be lead into the kitchen, where you’ll be served chargrilled sea royal cucumber, a personal favorite. Finally, the dining room awaits, where the star dish—roasted suckling pig—is paired with other delectables. —Ignacio Fernández
