If you still haven’t come up with a Christmas or New Year’s Eve menu, don’t worry, Mario Sandoval, chef with two Michelin stars, has designed it. A range of dishes available in the Relais & Châteaux ORFILA and HERITAGE hotels, whose kitchens are run by professionals. Boletus coulant with roe yolk and melanosporum truffle, capon with dried apricots and raisins, wild sea bass with pilpil and crystal shrimp or Wellington entrecote with duxele, demiglace of its juice and red berries. Dishes that will leave you speechless and that will also surprise your family.
We can’t say much more about Christmas On, but you have to get your tickets quickly because they fly. The Botanical Garden of Madrid has been redecorated, yes, in a very special way that catches you as soon as you enter. Until January 15, you have time to go to the show where shades of color (in a metaphorical sense), all plants and trees. However, in this new edition you will find novelties such as the theme: Origin.
Like the other restaurants, Zielou is not far behind, making a gastronomic proposal to amaze the minds of his customers and achieve an explosion of flavors that you could never have imagined. Under the direction of Chef Juan Sánchez, you play with traditional dishes with Asian variants, such as Madrid stew Won-ton, Monkfish Bolum on bulgur, with hemp and apple seeds or the Mexican green tomatillo brava sauce that you will never forget. By the way, ask for one of their famous cocktails, you won’t regret it.
If you need to make a reservation somewhere and you can’t find that restaurant where you’re going to succeed, here’s your answer. Restaurant Noi has a new Italian concept, always faithful to the most authentic flavours, but traveling through the South of Italy under the guidance of chef Gianni Pinto. Bigoli with Calabrese and Cacioricotta sauce, pizzetta Fritta with homemade sausages or sheep ricotta ravioli with cavir. An explosion of flavours!

There you end up in a maze of colors and psychedelic images. In this way you will learn more about the inner and personal world of the director and how to make all his creations from his original works. The forest of Corpse Bride, the characters of Willy Wonka or Bitelchús, or the wonderful world of Alice in Wonderland.
You are stuck shopping now or tomorrow you will go to your favorite stores to take advantage of the great Black Friday offers. If you’re thinking of buying that long cloth jacket or pair of low-rise jeans, you should head to La Roca Village and Las Rozas Village.

Of course it’s not just about shopping, both La Roca Village and Las Rozas Village have adapted their restaurant menus. There are options for everyone and with very different tastes, yes, if we have to choose, we recommend: Atmósferas Mordisco (La Roca Village) and Mentidero (Las Rozas Village).
Tomorrow is Sunday and your week can’t miss that brunch you’ve seen so many times on Instagram. If you meet that new love for the first time tomorrow or if you want to pay tribute to yourself, you have to go to Botania’s brunch. You start with a large bowl of toast, smoked salmon, ricotta cream cheese, sliced avocado or eggs that you can choose whether you want them fried, scrambled or poached. In addition to all this, you can choose from a wrap of smoked salmon, cream cheese, wild asparagus, scrambled eggs with Perol sausage and roasted tomatoes or baked rigatoni with red pesto.
A plan that no one is waiting for and that everyone says yes to when you propose it. Tomorrow a very important football match will be played: Spain against Germany. For this reason, to support the team and have fun, go to the Jorge Juan space where there will be plenty of surprises and guests: SpokeSponha, DJ Deva, Los Xavales… What more could you want!
