MADRID - RESTAURANTE NaDo

NaDo Madrid

June 2021

This restaurant opened in late 2020, and we visited in June 2021. It's not easy to find, as it is located underground in a cave-like setting.

Chef Iván Domínguez, a native of A Coruña, has restaurants in both the city and Madrid. Both are called NaDo, which means swim in Galician, where his Atlantic haute cuisine originates. He is intensely interested in the so-called discarded fish from the Atlantic, and many of them appear on his menus.

We had the "Viaxe Atlánticio" menu at €60.

Sopa des verdes (green soup).

Aperitivos

Xandia en Albariño (mackerel in Albariño) and

Xurel en Vinagre Albarro XPI (horse mackerel in vinegar Albarro XPI).

Boquerón curado en ramallo de Mar (cured anchovy in fresh green algae) and

Xouba ed salazón (salted sardine).

Melgacho en Amarillo (blue shark in saffron and almond sauce).

Chícharos lacrimógenos (tear peas).

Pans Caseros (maiz, trigo y centero - corn, wheat and rye). The bread is excellent; they make it themselves and braise it with olive oil before it reaches the table.
