For ’s Best Young Chefs series, we’ve selected three of the greatest chefs under 30 working in the Spanish capital right now. Honourable mentions: the guys from teppanyaki restaurant Tetsu, who have barely turned twenty; David, at the helm of tavern-style hotspot Taberna Chiripa; Pablo Laya, who leads the kitchen of the almighty Saddle (1 Michelin star); and Oswaldo González, chef at one of Madrid’s most sought-after restaurants, Los 33.

Three friends united by a restoration project; chefs displaying the type of discernment, technique and curiosity that typically comes from years of experience. We’re talking about Trèsde in the La Latina neighbourhood, Insurgente in Chamberí and Éter in Legazpi.
Without further ado – here are Madrid’s best young chefs right now, according to .
