Mune

Tucked away in Madrid’s bustling Sol neighborhood, Mune brings the bright, bold flavors of Lebanon to a city that traditionally revolves around jamón and patatas bravas. This contemporary Lebanese spot has carved out its own niche, offering a welcome departure from the typical Spanish fare without sacrificing any of the warmth and hospitality the city is known for.

The food here celebrates vegetables and legumes with genuine enthusiasm. Their fatush salad arrives as a vibrant composition of greens, pomegranate seeds, and shards of crisped bread, all dressed in a punchy lemon vinaigrette that wakes up every bite. The hummus deserves special attention—rather than choosing between the classic, beetroot-tinted, or indulgent truffle versions, the smart move is ordering the sampler and experiencing all three. Each variation showcases the kitchen’s dedication to getting the fundamentals right.

The Prado location offers a particularly inviting atmosphere with soaring ceilings, exposed brick walls, and generous windows that flood the space with natural light. It’s the kind of room that feels equally appropriate for a quick weekday lunch, a more considered dinner date, or gathering a group of friends who can never agree on where to eat. The versatility is part of the charm—everyone finds something to love here.

Whether you’re seeking lighter fare after days of indulging in Madrid’s heartier offerings or simply craving the layered flavors of well-executed Lebanese cuisine, Mune delivers with style. It’s proof that sometimes the best discoveries in a new city are the places that offer something completely different from what you expected.
