Among the many five star Madrid hotels to choose from when looking for a gourmet dining experience, The Ritz is considered one of the best. There are two levels to this restaurant, offering up very fine, but different atmospheres. On the first floor, or terrace, the feeling is much more casual. A variety of options from the tapas menu or grill are aimed to please and tantalize. On the second floor there is the Goya Restaurant, no doubt named for the famous painter, this establishment offers up a more sophisticated and elegant night. Very refined dishes are served, originating from various regions of this country known for culinary delights and experimentation. As in keeping with the reality based shows of the United States, every so often during the year, the Goya invites chefs to participate in culinary challenges. This is meant as a regional competition, with the underlying need to compete with the close neighbor that is France. It seems every restaurant, every chef, and anyone dedicated to the preparation of food has France and its reputation looking over their shoulder. In any case, what is to be expected is some of the finest flavors of the cuisine of Spain, and something every tourist should experience.
The chef of the Goya is one of only four others to be honored with 4 Michelin Stars, quite and accomplishment considered the region he is from and the competition to be found there. Along with just a simple and delicious opportunity for a night out, this restaurant has become a popular meeting place and destination for all types of celebrations, weddings being the foremost booked events. Waiters of the Goya are well trained and versed in the language of viticulture, offering up wine suggestions that compliment any mean prepared here perfectly. From freshly prepared salads to appetizers, to dishes such at a fillet Mignon grilled to perfection and topped with a bit of tender foie gras, one has to assume that the night is complete. Not so, as a meal without a dessert is a meal that may have well not begun. Such delicacies are created from fresh fruits and by the top pastry chefs of the world. Tiramisu and some cleansing sorbet and perhaps a bit of Amarone, a perfect ending to a perfect dining experience at the Goya at the Ritz.
