The chef selects only the finest quality ingredients, which are native to the cuisine, to create unique yet authentic dishes which surely satisfy. My friend and I were strolling through the Chueca neighborhood when he mentioned lunch at Petit Comité. I loved the way the restaurant was designed, and could sense the comfortable, relaxing atmosphere as soon as I entered. The black tile bricks that make up the bar and the exposed ventilation add an industrial feel, while the natural brick walls and light wood floors warm things up. We split a starter of Petit Comité croquettes, each homemade, and we opted for one of each of the trio offering, including boletus edulis mushroom, monkfish and shrimps, and bleu cheese with walnuts. The croquettes were crispy, the texture was excellent, and each one had a distinct flavor. He shared a taste of his salmon tartare starter with me, which had tomato concassé, avocado, scallion and escarole. The fish tasted so fresh, and the creamy avocado and acidic tomato paired perfectly. In exchange, I let him sample my mushroom salad with duck ham, foie mi cuit, apple, pine nuts and balsamic vinegar, which was also incredible. For my main lunch, I enjoyed grilled squid with caramelised red onions, romescu sauce and potato chips. My friend opted for a duck breast fillet with cranberry sauce and a celery bouquet. The presentation on both dishes was beautiful, and I was amazed that the flavor was even more amazing! We finished our meal by sharing broken Idiazabal cheesecake coated with fig paste and Patxaran candy. It was unlike anything else I've ever had and truly magnificent. I highly recommend Petit Comité!

(Reservations can be made in person or over the phone only - while we were eating, I saw the phone ringing off the hook and their reservation book being added to.) When it was time for our reservation we were greeted and seated by a nice man who turned out to be the chef/owner himself, Marcos Gil. He went through each item on the menu with us and suggested wine pairings for our selections. We ordered the leeks, salmon, veal cheek, and venison, a daily special. They were all incredible! Each dish was not overly sophisticated and let the main component truly speak for itself. We could genuinely taste the craft and care that went into each dish. The dessert was no exception. Despite being a modest, unassuming restaurant, the space was intimate and inviting and the service was excellent along with the food. Worth more than any three-star Michelin meal any day.

We arrived just as lunch was starting and the place was fairly quiet, which was nice since we were all fairly jet-lagged. The service is very good here and the staff mostly understands English, however, that was not much of a problem since we mainly communicated in Spanish. The pasta was incredible and it was a very hearty and fulfilling meal. I had the sacchetti pasta that I believe had a pear and walnut filling. It was absolutely delightful. We should have stayed for dessert since the dishes looked tasty but we did not. The restaurant is located right by the aqueduct so as soon as you exit you can walk around the aqueduct.

With a mission to showcase the harmonious relationship between the two cuisines, L'artisan Furansu Kitchen creates a unique menu each weekday, relative to the goods available in the market. This ensures each dish is always at its freshest and crafted using the finest ingredients possible. With three different dining areas to choose from, including the intimate castiza for date nights, and the bar area which serves European and Japanese cocktails and libations, my friend and I opted for the room which allowed us to see our food being prepared in the kitchen. Exciting to watch the chef's in action as they prepared our lunch, and our server was helpful in explaining the menu and the dining options. We shared a starter of mackerel tartare, with green onion, ginger and aubergine caviar. I hadn't tasted anything like this before, and it was a great way to set the tone of our lunch. The subtle flavors of ginger and green onion perfectly reflected the Japanese influence. The soft pork belly was slow cooked for 12 hours, and the sweet soy sauce complimented the tender meat. My friend ordered the oven-roasted butterfish, marinated in saikyo miso and she couldn't stop raving about it. I enjoyed a rack of lamb served with yucca fritters. The yucca fritters were something completely new and exciting, and a great take on a root vegetable. The lamb was meaty, juicy, and just right. Dessert included rhubarb crumble with custard cream and green tea ice cream with mochi and dorayaki. We couldn't decide which we liked better, because both were so delicious, so we just shared them and ate both! L'artisan Furansu Kitchen is not culinary fusion, but a symphony of flavors from two important cuisines.

Lúa is one of only a handful of restaurants in Madrid to have earned a coveted Michelin star. The restaurant is contemporary yet has a bit of a rustic feel. The use of wooden furnishing creates an unique atmosphere. The dim lights and the spacing of the table creates an intimate space. The service is attentive and friendly. Lúa only serves a tasting menu that changes on a weekly basis based on seasonable ingredients. The tasting costs a very reasonable 65 € (remember, this includes all taxes and tips!). In a city known for its amazing food, Lúa still stands out. The tasting menu showcases Lúa's creative and innovative cooking that blends Galician and modern cookings. While all of the dishes were delicious, there were a few highlights. I really enjoyed the razor claim and the suckling pig. However, all of the dishes were flavourful and expertly prepared. I would highly recommend Lúa when you are in Madrid. It was a standout in a city with so many amazing restaurants - among the best in the city.

My companion ordered their Lubina con Verduritas, and I had the Verdinas con Carabineros, and the Raya En Caldeirada Sobre Sopa De Ibéricos. For dessert, I had the Brownie con Helado de Turron y Trufa (yes, it had authentic black truffles shaved on top) and my friend a "deconstructed" Tarta de Santiago. The whole meal was amazing; some of the dishes were elevated versions of traditional Galician dishes (the Verdinas or the Tarta de Santiago) while others were successful experiments (like the Fois Midcuit or the crazy-delicious Brownie with Turron Ice Cream and shaved Trufa). Lua deserves their 2023 Michelin star!
