Artemisa has two locations in Madrid, one in Sol/Gran Vía and one in Huertas. We have selected the branch in Huertas due to the fact that this area can feel a little further out of the hustle and bustle of central Madrid and Sol. Their menu offers helpful little symbols for Vegan, Vegan Adaptable and Apt for Lactose Intolerance dishes. The selection of dishes is frankly beyond extensive, as they offer starters, main courses, salads, pizzas, pastas and wok dishes, as well as desserts. With a wine list that includes White, Red and Rosé wines from different areas of Spain and a fresh fruit juice list that offers everything from apple to ginger, celery and beetroot, your drink selection will not be left for wanting either. Open from Mon-Sun 1:30-4pm and 9pm-12am, this little jewel is perfect for lunch or dinner.
