Stylisphere experiences the artistry of Paco Roncero’s Two Michelin Star Restaurant in Madrid
As the tradition for us goes, a trip also means dining in Michelin Star Restaurants. While in Madrid, we couldn’t miss the chance to dine in Paco Roncero Restaurant, a Two Michelin Stars Restaurant, 3 Repsol Suns, and is part of the prestigious international guide 50 Best Discovery of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The restaurant is run by the Madrid chef Paco Roncero himself, listed as one of the 100 best Chefs in the world according to the international list The Best Chef Awards.
Located on the top floor of a 19C building, the restaurant has managed to yet be modern and cosmopolitan, having the ideal atmosphere. The inside part of the restaurant designed by Jaime Hayon, and the outdoor terrace, designed by Julio Guixeres are in harmony with each other as their ideas have aligned. The design also manages to preserve the character of the building, while being in the same frequences as the avant-garde gastronomic journey. The colour of the walls, the black and white floor, or the chandeliers would really light up the mood in the room.
The gastronomic experience was truly a journey through chapters. The menu consisted mainly on tapas, keeping the tradition alive, while no knife was needed. Less is more even when it comes to utensils. Each course came with a cute note as a storytelling on how dishes were personalized by chef Roncero, through his creativity and imagination, reflecting the maturity and gastronomic solidity that he holds. As for example, the cute 3-D truffle pizza. Everyone has tasted this universal dish, but have you seen it served in a 3-D form? Or, the love that chef Roncero has for olive oil, being materialised in a dish where olive oil meets technology. The tastes in the morsel fish were intense yet elements were equilibrating each other. The beef steak tartare looked simple, but simple things can also be brilliant. The ending was sweet and sour through cocoa, white with soy miso toffee; cauliflower and hazelnut blancmange; mushrooms, ginger and pecan nuts; beetroot and black garlic and strawberry pavlova with cream, giving the best of both worlds.
Chef Paco told us his story of passion, believs and hard work and it was a bliss witnessing it. Next time in Madrid, you now know where the unique tapas in the most spectacular space can be found. Stylisphere would 10/10 recommend.
