Two menus, two trips

Zaranda, Zorzal and Lágrimas Negras are on the list of restaurants in Madrid where he has left his mark. In the new Desencaja, Sáez brings out his knowledge to offer traditional main dishes and modern resolution.

Starting from rigorous seasonal products, he prepares the only two menus that he offers on a daily basis. For 28 euros (beverages apart) he offers a tasting that he calls Trip to the Moon, made up of several appetizers, four dishes and a dessert. And for 38 euros, the menu Journey to the Center of the Earth, with five dishes and two desserts. It also offers an abbreviated lunch menu for 18 euros. At the tables, recipes with more technique than they seem and a more than acceptable level. Among its autumn specialties, the broken egg with potatoes and marrow, a delicious dim sum of chicken in pepitoria, stewed white beans, Madrid-style tripe, abanda rice with crust, the fish of the day (jack mackerel) with sautéed chard and the muffin tail with salad. To conclude, the brioche soaked in cream and egg with coffee ice cream. The cellar is bare, but offers a decent selection of wines by the glass.
