The Penthouse by Wow

Book The Penthouse by Wow if a design-led Madrid setting is part of the point: a Spanish fusion restaurant where room, atmosphere, food matter together. The strongest reasons to go are the setting, 1970s-inspired décor, Spanish fusion cooking. The appeal is not only what arrives at the table, but how the meal sits inside a deliberately styled environment. If you want a narrow culinary identity, it may feel broader than necessary; if you want a Madrid meal with visual character, it makes sense. Read it as a restaurant where mood and design are built into the experience, not background details.

The venue is in Madrid. Its striking décor recalls the 1970s, with different zones described for the venue: a bar area, a library, a recording studio, other distinct spaces. That layout gives the restaurant more than one register. Instead of one dining room with one fixed atmosphere, the venue appears designed around varied settings, each with its own visual cue. For guests who enjoy restaurants as places to look around, settle in, notice the room, that variety is part of the attraction.

Choose it for design-minded visitors and occasions where the room’s look and feel are part of the plan. It suits meals where the restaurant itself needs to carry some of the occasion through décor and the way different spaces shape the evening. For broader city planning, Pearl’s Madrid restaurants guide, Madrid bars guide, and Madrid hotels guide are the more useful next stops.

The draw is the setting and Spanish fusion cooking

The cuisine is Spanish fusion, fitting the venue’s design-forward personality. Build the meal around dishes specifically associated with the restaurant: roasted organic pepper with oak wood, oysters, house torreznos, lobster roll, pulled pork sandwich. Together, they show a menu not limited to a narrow Spanish-traditional lane. Some dishes lean into recognizably Spanish references; others suggest a broader fusion frame. That breadth matches a restaurant whose identity is built around setting as much as strict culinary boundaries.

The key decision is whether you want the room and mood to matter as much as the plate. That is a benefit if atmosphere, design, variety matter, a drawback if you want a quiet, food-only experience with minimal distractions. The Penthouse by Wow is easier to recommend for a group that wants a visually memorable evening than for someone seeking a stripped-back meal defined only by cooking technique. The food gives the booking structure, but the setting makes the choice specific.

A bar area is part of the layout, but specific beverage-program details are not confirmed here. Treat that room as another piece of the venue’s design, not as a reason to assume a particular drinks focus. For a deeper city itinerary beyond restaurants, Pearl also keeps separate Madrid guides for experiences and wineries.

Use the room type to choose the occasion

This is a stronger booking for diners who want a Madrid meal with visual payoff. The different zones give the venue a varied feel, with the bar area, library, recording studio creating different moods within the same restaurant. That helps when the occasion calls for more than a conventional table: the room can set the tone before the food does. The variety of spaces also makes the restaurant feel layered, less about one decorative idea than moving through a designed environment.

Dress smart casual and lean polished rather than formal. The 1970s-inspired décor lifts the room above a purely casual restaurant, but the brief still points to a relaxed, design-conscious meal rather than a highly formal one. Dress considered without becoming stiff. That matches the restaurant’s balance: stylish and atmospheric, but not described here as ceremonial or rigid. Come for a meal where the room will be noticed, the menu can move across references, the evening feels distinctly Madrid in its design-led hospitality.
