Behind its floor-to-ceiling windows, the impression is of a young and contemporary eatery on two floors with a focus on market-inspired cuisine, featuring classic food pairings with an unfettered global approach. Chef Juan Guillamón allows himself full licence to introduce flavours acquired on his travels: for six seasons he worked as a chef for the Ferrari motor racing team, and was the personal chef for the British ambassador in Spain. The well-balanced à la carte, offering dishes such as the carpaccio of aged beef with black aioli, cured egg yolk and tartare sauce, and "parpatana" of red tuna with a fennel purée and caponata, is complemented by a tasting menu that is only available if served to the whole table.
