Does Blverxo sell or make reservations?
No. The service informs and advises, but every table must be reserved by you through the restaurant’s official booking system.
Reference points before the visit
Prepare a visit to Madrid and to DiverXO
This information helps you structure the reservation, the journey and the rest of your stay. The definitive rules must always be verified with the restaurant and the booking channel you use.
01 — Reservation
Check the format and the time
DiverXO, chef Dabiz Muñoz’s restaurant, is the only one in Madrid with three Michelin stars. It serves a single long tasting menu, and tables are reserved online through the restaurant’s own official booking system, with payment in advance.
Dates are released in blocks and the most requested days sell out within minutes. The welcome time may differ from the time the menu begins.
- Check the date, time and number of guests on the official confirmation.
- Read the cancellation and modification terms before paying.
- Before you travel, verify the current price, opening days and holiday closures.
- Never buy a table from a reseller: a restaurant may refuse a reservation that has been transferred.
02 — Dates
Choose when to come
Madrid stands on a high plateau: summers are hot and dry, winters cold and bright. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September and October) are the most comfortable seasons.
Many haute-cuisine restaurants close for several weeks in August and around Christmas, so check the restaurant’s calendar before buying flights.
- Keep several possible dates, including weekday lunches.
- Book flexible flights and hotels until the table is confirmed.
- Arrive in Madrid the day before the meal at the latest.
03 — Journey
Prepare your arrival and getting around
Madrid-Barajas airport is 13 km from the centre. Metro line 8, the Cercanías train from terminal T4, the 24-hour Airport Express bus and flat-fare taxis all connect it with the city in 25 to 40 minutes.
The restaurant is in the Chamartín district, in the north of the city, in the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding hotel (Calle del Padre Damián 23). Cuzco station, on metro line 10, is one of the possible ways to get there.
- Work out the journey from where you are staying: 15 to 25 minutes by taxi from most central hotels.
- Allow extra time on match days at the nearby Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
- Confirm the address on your reservation: the chef has spoken publicly about a future move.
- The metro closes around 01:30; plan the return by taxi after a late dinner.
04 — Accommodation
Decide where to stay
The central districts are close to one another but feel very different at night. Choose the one that suits your days, and travel to the restaurant by taxi or metro.
| Area | Suits | To the restaurant |
|---|---|---|
| Sol and Centro | A first visit: Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace, Gran Vía. Busy and noisy at night. | ≈ 20 min by taxi |
| Barrio de las Letras | Museums and quiet pedestrian streets, five minutes from the Prado. | ≈ 20 min by taxi |
| Malasaña and Chueca | Cafés, independent shops and nightlife. | ≈ 15 min by taxi |
| Salamanca | Elegant boulevards, shopping and calm evenings. | ≈ 12 min by taxi |
| Chamartín and Castellana | Large modern hotels in the business district. | On foot or ≈ 5 min |
Times are estimates and vary with traffic.
05 — Meal times
Adopt the Madrid timetable
Lunch is the main meal and is served from 14:00 to 16:00; dinner rarely begins before 21:00. A tasting menu takes three to four hours, so the rest of the day has to be arranged around it.
- Eat lightly beforehand: a late breakfast, or a single tapa at aperitif time.
- Do not plan a show or a late train after the meal.
- Service is included by law; a tip of 5–10% is appreciated, never expected.
06 — Conditions
Know the main conditions on the day
The cooking is avant-garde and intense, with Spanish, Asian and Latin American influences, and the service is theatrical. No formal dress code is generally published; smart casual is usual.
The menu is fixed and complex. Allergies, intolerances and dietary restrictions must be declared when reserving, and the restaurant decides what it can adapt. The length of the meal makes it a poor fit for young children.
- Arrive at the time shown on the confirmation: late arrivals may miss courses.
- Declare allergies and restrictions at the time of booking, not at the table.
- Check the conditions applicable to children directly with the restaurant.
- Keep the confirmation and an identity document in the name on the reservation.
07 — Programme
Organise the rest of your stay
Museums, a walk, a meeting point and the return to your accommodation must remain compatible with the time of the meal. A personalised itinerary limits unnecessary journeys and links several stages realistically.
- Group visits by area: the Prado, El Retiro and Barrio de las Letras fit in one day.
- Keep the morning of a long lunch, or the afternoon before a dinner, free.
- Have an alternative you are happy with if no table is available.
08 — Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can Blverxo guarantee me a table?
No. Nobody outside the restaurant has access to tables. The advice improves your preparation, not the availability.
Are the times and prices given here guaranteed?
No. Only the restaurant can confirm the times, prices and conditions applicable to a reservation.
Can the service advise a family or a group?
Yes, taking into account who is travelling. Age conditions and menu adaptations must nevertheless be verified with the restaurant.
Can other restaurants be included in the itinerary?
Yes. Blverxo can suggest stages compatible with your programme, without making the reservations.
Where can the definitive rules be checked?
In the restaurant’s official information and in the conditions shown by its booking system at the time of payment.
