Aredna

Step inside Aredna and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a charming Beirut cafe tucked away in the heart of Madrid’s Malasaña neighborhood. Terracotta walls, wooden tables, dried floral arrangements, and clay pots set a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the bold Lebanese cuisine waiting for you.

The menu showcases time-honored Lebanese classics, each one thoughtfully reimagined with creative house twists. You’ll find turmeric-infused hummus that adds golden warmth to the familiar dip, and carrots prepared in luxurious hazelnut butter finished with a drizzle of spicy honey and bright bergamot vinaigrette. The generous use of spices like sumac and garlic transforms simple ingredients like fresh tomatoes into memorable bites.

For heartier fare, the pastry stuffed with tender spiced veal deserves special attention. It arrives crowned with fresh spearmint and jewel-like pomegranate seeds, balancing richness with brightness in every forkful. This is the kind of place where vegetarians will find plenty to celebrate, but meat lovers won’t feel overlooked either.

Save room for dessert, where traditional Spanish sweets meet Lebanese inspiration. The milhojas layered with pistachio and rose makes for a fitting finale to a meal that celebrates the best of both culinary worlds. Whether you’re stopping by for a leisurely lunch or a relaxed dinner with friends, Aredna delivers aromatic, spice-forward cooking that rewards repeat visits.
