The five gastronomic universes of the Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Quique Dacosta and his team stage the excellence that characterizes the chef in five distinct culinary universes within the hotel itself: Deessa<\/b>, the most avant-garde gastronomic restaurant with a Mediterranean soul, located in the magnificent Alfonso XIII room; Palm Court<\/b>, which inherits the palatial cuisine and tradition of the Ritz as seen through Dacosta’s prism, and which is located under the recently opened glass dome, where the famous Afternoon Tea is also served; Pictura<\/b>, the hotel bar where you can taste the best cocktails while enjoying the already emblematic Paula Anta’s Portrait Gallery; Champagne Bar<\/b>, an intimate space to enjoy a glass of champagne accompanied by delicious oysters, caviar, white truffle or Iberian ham and, of course, the Ritz Garden<\/b>, the idyllic terrace so coveted in spring and summer, which has inaugurated a winter proposal for the first time in the history of the Ritz.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
