Modernist skylight and hanging lamps at Matilda restaurant

A building with history

Welcome to Matilda. Since 1999 we have opened the doors of a modernist venue designed by architect Andrés M. Calzada Echevarría: natural light, noble wood and architectural detail in every corner. A space that, after serving as a workshop and even a Protestant church, found at the table its best way to stay alive.

The venue is experienced in the main dining room, the private areas for groups and the quiet terrace. Every corner is designed so conversation and the table last as long as they should.

We host company lunches, family celebrations and private events, with tailor-made menus and our usual service.
