This luxurious Hotel enjoys the gastronomy of the Chef awarded with 12 Michelin stars 4 of which he holds in this Hotel, with the restaurants Lasarte and Oria.

3- Molino de Alcuneza: Boutique hospitality inside a mill.

Only an hour and a half from Madrid, situated 5km from the medieval Sigüenza, we find the Molino de Alcuneza, another of our hotels with Michelin star gastronomy. It all started when in 1992 the Moreno family decided to buy a stone mill to renovate it into a hotel with 17 rooms, restaurant and spa.

This hotel also has a Michelin-starred gastronomy. Samuel Moreno runs the restaurant, and from the very beginning it was clear to him that he wanted to create a destination for the gourmet public on a national level. Based on seasonality, Samuel changes the menu three times a year. For the upcoming spring and summer months, Samuel has prepared a series of dishes that rely on the best moment of the quality of the national product.

There are three types of menus and three prices: the Enjoy Menu which is priced at 58€, the Mill Menu which is priced at 62€, and the Celebrate Menu which is priced at 79€. Here is a sample of what you can find in their menu:

• Navarrese asparagus with Galician cockles and black garlic aioli
• Pig’s feet noodle with shrimp in its own way.
• Lacquered trout with hoisin sauce, roe and tempura sisho leafs
• Sardine salad with thyme and beet gazpacho
• Cocochas de bacalao with red shrimp, crumbs and black garlic soup.
• As for the meat, the pigeon de Bresse, the robata with foie gras, wheat, negrillo and grapes and the low temperature black angus rib with eggplant in honey barbecue and Guadalajara aromatics will stand out.

Samuel bets for elaborating every day his breads in an artisanal way and with organic flours from his area. The secret of his bread is to use the same yeast with which bread was made 500 years ago, there are no other ingredients added apart from water and salt.

4- Hotel Único: Chef Ramon Freixa’s gastronomic proposal.

The Hotel Único restaurant, Ramón Freixa Madrid, has been awarded 2 Michelin stars and 3 Repsol Suns and we are not surprised since it offers a menu always marked by the seasonality of the product. The star ingredients of its dishes vary with the seasons, so tasting a menu seasonally would be like tasting the different acts of the 4 seasons of Vivaldi.

Ramón Freixa Madrid, has several types of tasting menus so that all guests who visit the restaurant can enjoy a gastronomic experience tailored to their needs, and that is why it is another of our hotels with Michelin star gastronomy. One of the pleasures of the restaurant is to taste The Perfect Brunch, a lighter menu devised by the chef and served in the quiet interior garden of the hotel. Gil Rovira, the sommelier, Gil Rovira, is in charge of the wine pairing for each guest.

The Chef Ramón Freixa defines the restaurant concisely:

“Perfection and Audacity, with a touch of humor”.

There are two types of menus to choose from: the Discovering RFM menu priced at 90€ and the Freixa Universe menu priced at 145€. The former is milder than the latter in case you fancy a lighter menu. Some of the dishes found on the midday symphonic menu are:

– In the Prelude: Tomato and basil caprese bombon, there is an intruder in the tomato: shot partridge and artichokes, tomato caviar with nitro ratatouille and it is not what it seems: vegetable chop tartare.

– In the Sequences: Lujuria: elvers carbonara, Iberian bacon and Sea and mountain caviars, octopus vs Foie; collagen of veal tendons and tuna, Jurassic white on black braised endive and cappuccino with vermouth, Royal hare tubers and truffle; parfait of its interiors and consommé with brandy de Jerez.

– In the Sweet Moment: A trip from Cuba to Belgium: pineapple, rum, beer and waffle, Chocolate guanaja 70%, creamy black sesame, saffron, honey and lemon.

– And finally the letter shows us the Sweet Epilogue.
