Deessa

Superchef Quique Dacosta’s first Madrid restaurant, named “Goddess”, graces the white and gold Alfonso XIII room and adjoining garden terrace at the Ritz. Two tasting menus, showcasinge his mastery of modern Mediterranean cuisine, are offered at lunch and dinner time. Both exhibit an astonishing array of flavors, aromas, and artistry over 10 or more courses, drawing inspiration from the sea and the mountains in dishes like glazed Galician red mullet with saffron and an aged cheese emulsion. A third option, Chronos, lets you save time and money with a shorter selection. A range of wine pairing options is available, peaking at 550€ for wines from the finest Spanish houses—a marriage made in heaven. Da Costa oversees all the gastronomic options at the Ritz, from afternoon tea in the light-filled Palm Court to an indulgent Sunday brunch.
