Em Madrid, a reserva de jantar das 22h não é mais uma sugestão; é um campo de batalha arduamente disputado. A cidade superou a rotação confiável de jamón e cañas. Agora, os comensais navegam por um cenário de janelas de reserva frenéticas e salas de jantar escondidas. Madrid fica acordada mais tarde do que qualquer outra capital europeia. Vive nos longos intervalos entre o primeiro vermute e o carajillo final.
A cena atual parece elétrica e profundamente pessoal. No OSA, dois chefs se dedicam obsessivamente a peixes de rio e carnes maturadas dentro de uma vila residencial tranquila. O Smoked Room opera um santuário escuro de seis lugares dedicado ao fogo que parece um clube exclusivo. Você pode escolher a alma colombiana hiper-regional do Quimbaya ou a precisão minimalista do sushi do Toki. Os Madrileños conhecem o ritual: as melhores mesas desaparecem semanas antes de a primeira garrafa de Rioja ser aberta.
Uma nova identidade culinária de alto nível tomou conta da cidade. Estas são as mesas que valem a pena esperar.
