Madrid blooms with the arrival of the good weather, and Quintoelemento celebrates it from the heights with a proposal that turns every bite into a sensorial journey. On the seventh floor of the hundred and twenty-fifth floor of Madrid’s Calle de Atocha, chef Juan Suárez de Lezo presents a new menu that fuses the best of the Mediterranean with the delicacy of Japanese cuisine, following his apprenticeship acquired during his recent training in Japan. The result is an impeccable symphony of flavours, textures and techniques, to be fully enjoyed with privileged views of the capital’s skyline.
The experience begins with a selection of dishes designed for sharing, in which creativity is served in small doses of amazement. Highlights include the wok-glazed veal taco with grape and cucumber pickles, the crispy wafers of salmon tartare with onion gel, or the unexpected spinach veil with wagyu on croissant brioche. A surprising array of nuances that invites you to discover the cuisine from a new perspective.
In the vegetable section, the asparagus salad with artichokes and parmesan foam and the gazpacho of textures refresh the palate without sacrificing complexity. But if there is one dish that takes the experience to another level, it is the poultry and ginger ramen with cheeks and carabinero ravioli. A surprising sea and mountain dish, which is delicate and profound, and to which are added other hits such as the baby squid curry with duck meatballs or the snapper flower sashimi with ponzu.
For those looking for dishes that border on culinary haute couture, the steak tartar wrapped in cecina with caviar or the salmon ravioli with snow crab and trout roe mark the innovative pulse of a menu that never ceases to surprise us as we delve deeper into it.
And as every journey deserves a memorable ending, Quintoelemento’s desserts are pure spectacle. From the cheesecake with caviar to the brioche donut with passion fruit and Mexican vanilla ice cream, because here every creation comes full circle with sweetness, surprise and sophistication.
Quintoelemento’s select liquid menu deserves a special mention, with more than 400 wines carefully selected by sommelier Dana Cárdenas, complemented by a formidable signature cocktail bar with daring combinations and stunning presentations.
Visiting Quintoelemento becomes an experience that goes far beyond the limits of the purely gastronomic. An unforgettable sensory adventure that blossoms this spring because the real luxury is in savouring the sky from a rooftop where you can not only look at the stars… but also taste them!
