Pabú receives 5 Radishes from We're Smart Green Guide
Pabú, chef Coco Montes's Michelin-starred restaurant in Madrid, has received 5 Radishes from We're Smart Green Guide, the guide that recognises restaurants that put fruit and vegetables at the centre of their cooking. The distinction came on 26 October 2026.
Micro-seasonal, vegetable-led cooking
Since we opened on Calle Panamá, in Chamartín, in November 2023, vegetables have been the heart of Pabú. Every day we design the tasting menu around what our farmers and suppliers bring us, at its best.
This is what we call micro-seasonal cooking: if a different vegetable arrives tomorrow, tomorrow the dish changes. We bake our own bread, and the freezer is only used for the ice creams we make.
From L'Arpège to Madrid
Coco Montes learned to look at the vegetable garden during six years alongside Alain Passard at L'Arpège in Paris, a three-Michelin-star restaurant. There he understood that a carrot or an artichoke can be the star of a dish. At Pabú, vegetables don't accompany: they lead.
A recognition we share
The 5 Radishes join our star in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026, our Repsol Sun and Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence 2026. Above all, they recognise the work of the producers who supply us every day. Thank you to everyone who makes this cooking possible, in the kitchen and in the dining room.
