Nice To Meet You Restaurant & Lounge
Kazakhstan
At a glance
Nice To Meet You Restaurant & Lounge occupies the 14th floor and rooftop of the Dear Hotel at Gran Vía 80, beside Plaza de España in central Madrid. The venue combines a restaurant, an open-air terrace and a rooftop lounge, with broad views across the city. The outlook includes the Royal Palace, Plaza de España, Gran Vía and Casa de Campo, creating a setting that changes with the light throughout the day.
The kitchen follows a contemporary, cosmopolitan approach, making the restaurant suitable for diners seeking an urban meal rather than a traditional Madrid dining room. The setting works for a sunny lunch, an evening meal for two or a relaxed gathering with friends. Cocktails and other drinks form an important part of the lounge experience, while music adds a social, late-day feel to the space.
Design elements give the venue the character of an elevated urban garden. Greenery, substantial terracotta planters and an expansive terrace soften the modern city setting, while the rooftop position keeps the atmosphere open and connected to Madrid’s skyline. The terrace is particularly suited to watching the sunset, although it remains exposed to outdoor temperatures and rain. A canopy offers protection from the sun, but the terrace is not climate-controlled.
The lounge provides tables and sofas for informal drinks, with seating availability handled on arrival rather than through advance reservations. On busy days, rooftop access may include a cover charge with a drink included. Restaurant reservations are intended for dining during kitchen service, so the venue suits occasions built around a meal as well as drinks and conversation in the rooftop setting.
For travellers from Kazakhstan, the location offers a straightforward stop in the Centro district, with Plaza de España metro station directly outside and public parking nearby. The restaurant entrance is adapted for people with reduced mobility, while the rooftop terrace is not accessible. Nice To Meet You suits couples, friends and visitors looking for contemporary food, cocktails, music and elevated city views in a polished but sociable environment.
