Restaurant in Madrid, Spain
Coastal Reference, Salamanca Precision

Cadaqués on Calle de Jorge Juan sits in Madrid's most competitive dining neighbourhood, Salamanca, pointing toward Catalan coastal cooking in a format that reads as a neighbourhood anchor rather than a destination tasting menu. Booking is easy and the address alone signals a certain floor of quality. Worth considering for a Salamanca dinner without the weight of a full tasting-menu commitment.
Cadaqués sits on Calle de Jorge Juan 35, in the heart of Salamanca, one of Madrid's most food-serious neighbourhoods. Without confirmed pricing data in our records, we can't give you a precise per-head spend, but its address in Salamanca places it firmly in a district where restaurants pitch to diners who expect quality and are willing to pay for it. If you're researching where to eat on Jorge Juan specifically, this is a street worth your attention, and Cadaqués is a name that comes up consistently enough to warrant a closer look.
The name itself is a signal. Cadaqués is the small Catalan coastal town on the Costa Brava made famous partly by Salvador Dalí, and a restaurant carrying that name in Madrid is almost certainly referencing the flavours and seafood traditions of that coastline. Catalan and Costa Brava-influenced cooking in Madrid tends to mean precise fish work, restrained seasoning, and a menu that leans on the sea rather than the grill. That said, without confirmed dish or menu data, treat this as directional context rather than a guarantee. Verify the current menu before you book if cuisine specificity matters to your decision.
Salamanca as a neighbourhood matters here. This is not a part of Madrid where restaurants coast on location alone — the local clientele is experienced and the competition on and around Jorge Juan is real. Venues that don't deliver tend not to last. Cadaqués holding a position on this street is, in itself, a modest trust signal about floor-level quality.
For explorers who want to understand how this fits into Madrid's broader dining map, the city's serious restaurant tier runs from the three-Michelin-star theatrics of DiverXO down through accomplished creative kitchens like DSTAgE and Coque. Cadaqués appears to occupy a different register — more neighbourhood anchor than destination tasting menu , which is not a criticism. Madrid needs both, and Salamanca in particular benefits from restaurants that serve the area's residents rather than purely chasing visiting food tourists.
Booking difficulty is rated easy, which means you are unlikely to need to plan weeks ahead. For Salamanca restaurants at this accessibility level, booking a few days in advance is typically sufficient, though weekend evenings on a street as active as Jorge Juan can fill faster than you'd expect. No online booking link or phone number is currently confirmed in our records, so check Google Maps or the restaurant's social profiles for the most current reservation method.
The address , C. de Jorge Juan, 35, Salamanca, 28001 Madrid , is direct to reach by metro (Velázquez or Serrano stations on Line 4 are both close) or on foot from the Retiro area. Parking in Salamanca is tight; public transport or a taxi is the easier call.

Spain's wider fine-dining circuit , from Quique Dacosta in Dénia to Arzak in San Sebastián and Azurmendi in Larrabetzu , gives useful context for how Madrid's restaurant scene sits within the national picture. Cadaqués is not competing at that level, but for a Salamanca dinner without the ceremony of a tasting menu, it deserves consideration.
