Kappo
$$$$ | Chamberí
Kappo delivers a classic, ultrarefined omakase experience free of fusion fripperies—a reminder that when the quality of fish is this good, there's no need for showy garnishes and tableside pyrotechnics. On a given night, chef Mario Payán might grace your chopsticks with grouper, yellowtail, horse mackerel, or scallop anointed with, say, a drop of ponzu or a scraggle of pickled daikon. Spanish line-caught tuna often figures heavily on the menu, which has a set price of €58 and includes a starter, 15 pieces of sushi, and dessert. If you're feeling social, sit at the u-shape bar, where you can watch the sushi masters work their magic; for a quiet meal, request a table.
