La Tasquería ⭐ Restaurant, Madrid: Michelin-Starred Restaurant Specializing in Offal
La Tasquería is a Michelin-starred restaurant specializing in offal. You can choose from three types of tasting menus: a four-course menu for 42 EUR, a five-course menu for 55 EUR, and an XL menu for 75 EUR. I visited the restaurant with my parents, and we opted for the four-course menu. The specific items on the menu aren’t fixed, but you can select them from several options. Each of us chose a different combination of dishes, and we shared our meals, so we got to taste almost everything.
Each menu also includes homemade bread with Spanish olive oil.
And practically immediately, an amuse bouche arrives at the table: a savory macaron, two slices of pork lard, and a pork rind.
The first course - a selection of tapas focusing on marinated fish and olives.
Second courses:
Third courses:
Desserts:
Each menu also includes a petit four.
The kitchen at La Tasquería is partially open, so from the tables, it’s possible to watch some of the chefs at work. For a four-course tasting menu, which also included bread, amuse bouche, petit four, a bottle of wine, and water, we paid a total of 180 EUR for three people. This struck me as an incredibly good value for a Michelin-starred restaurant. The restaurant has a pleasantly informal atmosphere; reservations are required and can be made online.
If you're in Madrid and aren’t afraid to try tripe, hearts, kidneys, or brains, then don’t hesitate to make a reservation at La Tasquería. You’ll be delighted.
Bon appétit!
