What´s happening in Malasaña
The outcasts of early 20th-century society found solace in Madera Street, their sanctuary. It was on these streets, the flipside of the bustling Gran Vía, that the first women emerged as active participants in society and politics. The late seventies witnessed the eruption of the vibrant movement known as the Movida Madrileña, which reverberated with immense fervor in this neighborhood, permeating its bars and concert halls. But all of that is now a thing of the past! So, what is unfolding in Malasaña these days?
In the realm of gastronomy, after a period of haphazard fusion and the failure of restaurant chains attempting to seize control, the independent ventures have emerged victorious. They have returned to the culinary roots, embracing foolproof recipes but with a contemporary twist. It is no longer sufficient to merely meet expectations; one must astonish! Some of the traditional establishments have undergone renovations while carefully preserving their essence, while others dare to transgress conventional boundaries. Nevertheless, in both cases, what truly matters above all else is the realm of culinary delights. The people of Madrid are an exacting lot when it comes to quality. If we dine splendidly, we shall return, share our experiences, and elevate that restaurant to the esteemed realm where the culinary giants reside.
The gastronomic and cultural experience will cater to the tastes of the diners. For some, the sizzling grilled octopus over a creamy cachelos foam or the tantalizingly seasoned lamb skewers are culinary delights, while others may prefer the savory delights of fine Iberian charcuterie or a selection of the country’s finest cheeses. This is why we kickstart the experience with an aperitif and engaging conversation, allowing us to dynamically shape the perfect gastronomic journey. There is no predetermined script; instead, our skilled guide draws upon their own expertise to adapt to the unique circumstances of each individual.
Our approach is simple: we recommend what we have personally tried and fallen in love with. From delectable dishes to exquisite wines and craft beers, we have indulged in them all to share the experience with you.
However, the cultural experience is not overshadowed. We won’t delve into tales of kings and nobles unless it involves their nocturnal escapades into the darker side of life. Instead, we will focus on courageous men and women who rose from poverty, modern rebels who challenge conventions, the underworld, and the artists and writers driven by passion rather than wealth…
