Awards & Recognition

Three Michelin stars

First awarded in the 2014 Michelin Guide to Spain and Portugal. · 2014

Dabiz Muñoz’s radically personal tasting-menu restaurant is a defining institution of contemporary Madrid. Elaborate compositions, unexpected cultural references and theatrical presentation turn fine dining into a deliberately unpredictable experience.

The Story

Origin

Muñoz opened DiverXO in Madrid in 2007 after working in London. It developed from a small independent restaurant into an internationally influential fine-dining destination, subsequently moving to the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding.

Philosophy

The restaurant treats creative freedom as its organising principle, favouring intensity, surprise and a recognisable authorial voice over conventional luxury codes.

Why Important

DiverXO helped reposition Madrid as a destination for globally influential experimental dining. Its attainment of three Michelin stars marked a major milestone for the city’s contemporary restaurant scene.

Differentiation

Its distinction lies in Muñoz’s highly individual culinary language, rather than in a straightforward fusion of national cuisines.

Food Philosophy

Spanish ingredients and culinary memories intersect with techniques, seasonings and references from across Asia. Dishes are layered, technically demanding and conceived as successive encounters rather than a conventional meal.

Guest Experience

A long, highly orchestrated tasting menu asks guests to surrender control of the meal’s rhythm and direction. Service and presentation are integral to the compositions.

Design Philosophy

Surreal imagery and an intentionally unconventional setting extend the kitchen’s rejection of restraint into the dining room.

Design & Architecture

Architecture

A destination restaurant within an urban hotel.

Design Language

Surreal, theatrical and deliberately irreverent.

Interior Design

Whimsical animal imagery and unexpected decorative gestures contrast with the precision of the dining service.

Graphic Identity

An expressive identity built around the XO name and Muñoz’s unconventional public persona.
