El Club Allard

Open to the public since 2003, El Club Allard still maintains the sophisticated feel of an exclusive private members’ club, which is what it was originally founded as in 1998, although it has been open to everyone since 2007. Considered one of the major gastronomic temples in Madrid, it also holds many diverse cultural activities, ranging from painting exhibitions to literary presentations as well as the Enrique Ponce & Allard bullfighting awards.

Álava-born chef Diego Guerrero was in charge of the kitchen El Club Allard up until 2013. He replaced the Dominican chef, María Marte, who managed to hold on to two Michelin stars. Following her departure at the beginning of 2018, it is now Chef José Carlos Fuentes, who is at the helm of the kitchens at the Restaurant Tierra (1 Michelin star), taking over with cuisine that stands out for its delicacy and innovation, as well as his knowledge and command of traditional national and international cuisine, particularly Japanese, following his time spent in Tokyo, which offers an interesting revamping of the menu at the Club Allard
