EL POTITO EN LA GABINOTECA

11/14/2015

In Madrid, you have a choice of going traditional or modern. By traditional, I am thinking callos, cocido, tortilla, huevos rotos, patatas bravas, and many other Spanish dishes that simply never go out of style. By modern, I am thinking of the same traditional cuisine but with a modern twist. La Gabinoteca is the go-to-place in this department.

La Gabinoteca's claim to fame is "El Potito", a dish encased in a mason jar that is best sniffed, mixed and then spooned. Made of potatoes, egg and truffle, this dish is not for sharing. Be warned! It is sooo good that sharing it with a friend may put the friendship at risk. I kid you not. Have one jar enjoyed by each person, and preserve the relationship.

This is NOT to say it's the only good thing to be had here. We likewise tried the navajas or razor clams, another favorite, and the scallops or vieiras. The dishes are savoury and playfully plated. Muy impresionante!

The first time we dined here, we likewise tried the salmorejo, taco pato and the langostinos. All are good, but not as outstanding as the scallops and razor clams. The fried artichokes are kind of forgettable, so with the croquetas, but not exactly mediocre.

If you happen to be in Madrid and feel you're done with the traditional favorites, try La Gabinoteca. Even if you drop in just to try the El Potito, it would have been worth the trip!

The prices are quite reasonable. And the ambience is very hip. Friday nights here should be fun, especially around the bar. Check it out -- Calle Fernández de la Hoz, 53. Amazing food. Amazing place.
