I visited the three-star restaurant 'DiverXO' in Madrid. It has just been selected as the 4th best restaurant in the world at the World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025. Reservations usually take about a month, but this time I was able to secure a spot a week in advance due to a cancellation. The entrance is greeted by a 'flying pig' sculpture, opening the door to a new world. The electronic ticket received upon reservation features a large image of the chef, David Muñoz, which made me feel the uniqueness of the restaurant at that moment. The staff wore studded black jackets, creating a rock vibe, and illustrated cards distributed with each dish served as a menu, making it a unique experience that you can take home after the meal. The course consists of about 20 dishes. Many of the plates are inspired by Chinese and Japanese cuisine, and on the day I visited, there were dishes featuring shark fin and Shanghai crab, as well as octopus shabu-shabu. I enjoyed the 'flying pig's kitchen,' where strong spices and aromas intersect with Spanish ingredients, embodying both playfulness and precision. Experiencing the bold fusion of Asian and Spanish cuisine while immersed in an extravagant worldview—this is a restaurant you definitely want to experience when visiting Madrid.
