The Michelin Guide's review
In this elegant avant-garde space on the top floor of a 19C building, this restaurant is run by Paco Roncero, a chef who is constantly on the move and constantly pursuing new goals, which includes reinventing his cuisine from one year to the next.In this splendid setting, you can look forward to a comprehensive and highly interactive dining experience that is centred on two highly interesting menus: “Esencia” (only lunchtime on Thursdays and Fridays) and “Afirmación”. The chef, who has an unwavering enthusiasm for olive oil, demonstrates his full creativity and imagination in his starters (his signature Filipino of foie gras with white chocolate and cardamom is a prime example), before moving on to delicious, traditionally inspired mains in which seasonal ingredients are to the fore, before surprising guests with desserts that combine sweet and savoury flavours (such as the highly original beetroot with black garlic). The spectacular terrace is an added bonus!
