This was the BEST meal I've ever had!…read more We stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner in which they told us they were full so we made a reservation for the next weekend. (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.

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!

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!

Angelita Madrid, tucked into the city's cozy Chueca neighborhood, is the shared invention of…read morevisionary restaurateurs David and Mario Villalón. Its cocktail venue is one of Madrid's most subtly invigorating places to drink. In a restaurant scene that is constantly reinventing itself, 'Angelita' doesn't chase trends. It defines its own universe. Finding the bar is part of the experience. Entering through the dining area upstairs, one is guided down an almost secret staircase to what might be called, Center Stage. This is where cocktail magic unfolds in a profound yet personal way. Instantly the house lights soften. A cacophony of curiously muddled voices rises and falls in palpable anticipation of what comes next. In a comfy blend of separate yet united, the bar and restaurant deserve their own spotlights. The menus evolve constantly. Angelita's wine list can reach five hundred bottles. The motif is as thoughtful, expansive, and provocative as the impeccable dishes with which it is paired. Oh, the food! So worthy of distinction, yet we will save it for another review. In the meantime, cherish a seat at the bar. It offers the most captivating view in the house: front-row access to the choreography behind the counter. For it is here where libation artists distill genius from wildly enchanting ingredients. Rather than relying on commercial bottles, Angelita cures and concocts its own spirits and infusions. Many elements are harvested from the family farm. They are rendered, blended, mixed, and tuned in exacting ways as much akin to science labs as gourmet kitchens. Fresh-milled breadworks, savory almonds, fragrant herbs, just-pulled vegetables, and hypnotic botanicals are part of the alchemy. Nothing is off limits if it adds texture, depth, or aroma. The room reinforces this point. Angelita's bar is assembled with a mad scientist's mindset: shelves lined with labeled jars of organic infusions; stainless-steel work surfaces burnished to a mirror-sheen; precision tools that appear to be of surgical grade; and beakers with rubber tubing. And then there is the centerpiece: a rotary evaporator, or "Rotovap", replete with condenser and flask. It is a serious instrument of culinary crafting that signals exactly what Angelita intends: Precision Perfection. The device allows distillation under vacuum at very low temperatures. In practice, this means Angelita can capture and condense fragile aromatics. Citrus peel. Basil. Rustic spices. Floral notes. All without cooking them into acidic bitterness or diluted dullness. What ends up in the glass is absolutely clean, vivid, and true to the original ingredients. Think: flavor in hi-def. Such standards carry through to presentation. The bar serves no ice in any of its drinks. Rather, cocktails arrive in exquisitely chilled glassware to avoid watering-down their preciously procured ingredients. Everything is measured on a digital scale, not rushed through casual pours and bar jiggers. Each offering is intentional. Deliberate. Repeatable. Yet nothing feels clinical because the result is raw and primal pleasure. After the first sip an all-sensory message is received loud and clear: 'This isn't an ordinary cocktail bar.' Angelita's drinks are born on the family farm, expertly developed in a working lab, and refined out in the open for all to witness and savor. Come ready to be mesmerized. Techniques will marvel. Flavors will enchant. Senses will exalt. At Angelita, craft meets captivation as mixologists explain the science that elevates liquid to Life.

Granted it's a smaller menu than what's offered upstairs, but was fine on my solo visit.

We came expecting the very best of Spanish cuisine, and instead got a major disappointment. The potato salad was drenched in mayonnaise, completely overpowering the other ingredients. The entrecôte with fries was even worse--the meat was full of greasy strings, nothing like the clean, tender cut it's supposed to be. The fries were poorly cut, oily, and limp instead of crisp. Even the padrón peppers, which are usually impossible to get wrong, were flavorless. The bread was stiff and hard to bite. Service was just okay, but the atmosphere felt rushed and uncomfortable, as the place is overcrowded with tourists chasing the restaurant's reputation. In short: overrated, overpriced, and absolutely not worth the hype.
