Ático Restaurante & Terraza — Restaurant in Madrid

The two Michelin star rating is what attracted us to the restaurant. Unfortunately it did not live up to the standard we expected at all. We had to send the fish back because it was not fully cooked, but apart from that the food was tasty. However, the main let down was in the service. It looked and felt very disorganized. We had to wait 45 mins for someone to attend to us, and even bring water. They brought us two slices of bread, but no olive oil or butter to go with it. We had to ask for oil/butter and it seemed like we had asked something unsual or like an inconvenience. It all came separately and needed us to ask at every step. Even my husband's drink order had to be repeated at the point at which they brought mine, so it came separately. After we placed our order of a starter and a mains, they arrived with the mains but no starter. When we reminded them about the starter, the waiter asked if he could bring the starter after the mains, so we said no. Because my fish dish had to be sent back, my husband finished his main course, and when my dish arrived, I was eating by myself. We were not the only table that had issues, we could hear other tables experiencing delays and forgotten orders too. In fact at one table, they took the order for 4/6 people and not the remaining two who had to order once the dishes for the first 4 had arrived. It all felt really disorganised and like it was being run by students. Sorry to have to be harsh but you don't expect this service when you look deliberately for a Michelin starred restaurant. There was only 1 waiter who looked like he knew what he was doing, but he probably was overwhelmed in this situation. At the end, when the bill arrived, the starter that we never had was included in the bill. The restaurant was not very busy (maybe they didn't have enough staff for the few tables they had) but there seemed a total lack of communication between staff. We had to remind them that we didn't have the starter, and to adjust the bill. After all this, there was not even a verbal apology, let alone any adjustment to the bill. So we paid and were glad to leave. Moral of the story: Michelin stars don't guarantee a...

I had the absolute pleasure of attending this incredible cocktail masterclass, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We were guided through the art of creating refined and unique cocktails, not just the classics, but inventive, elegant combinations that truly elevated the craft.

The instructor was knowledgeable, passionate, and made the entire session both very interesting and incredibly fun. We had the opportunity to prepare some cocktails ourselves, learning hands-on techniques that made us feel like professional mixologists. Each step was explained clearly and with enthusiasm, making it accessible even for beginners.

One of the highlights was the tasting session: we sampled a selection of rare and exquisitely made cocktails, some of which were true masterpieces of flavor and presentation. Some drinks was a surprise, with unique ingredients and perfect balance, showing just how creative and refined cocktail-making can be.

The atmosphere was relaxed yet sophisticated, and the attention to detail in both teaching and tasting was impeccable. I left the class inspired, impressed, and eager to put my new skills into practice.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves cocktails, wants to learn from the best, or simply enjoys a top-tier experience. Truly a wonderful and...

Uno de esos restaurante cuya expectativa iba a la altura de la fama de Ramón Freixa. Es cierto que tiene muchas y buenas valoraciones, por eso quería conocerlo en persona aprovechando una ocasion especial.

Como algo diferente de otros restaurantes, se encuentra en la sexta planta del edificio y comparte entrada con la del Hotel The Principal a la que se accede por unas escaleras y luego un ascensor. La entrada al restaurante se encuentra junto a una tranquila recepción tras una cortina de terciopelo.El local es largo y rectangular. Hay mesas a los dos lados, solo unas estan junto a ventanas que dan a una terraza, no se ve si estas sentado el skyline de Madrid. La decoración es en tonos cálidos. Hay bastante separacion entre mesas. El personal es muy atento, y nada mas llegar lo primero que ofrecen es un servicio de guardarropa. Ya nada mas sentarnos nos avisan de que no les queda el canelón, mal empezamos. Es uno de los platos principales mas baratos comparado con el resto y si saben el éxito que tienen, no entiendo la mala gestión para evitar que falte. La maitre nos comentó que las raciones no son muy generosas y que lo normal era pedir un primero y un segundo por persona. Si que hay reconocer la calidad del producto y el espectaculo del sabor de algunos platos, lo que da una idea del trabajo que hay detrás.

Tambien como algo diferente está el hecho de que ofrecen "tarifa plana" de agua y pan. No llegué a reconocer la marca del agua ya que la botella era minimalista y la servían sin tapón, si me dicen que la rellenan del grifo me lo creo. Respecto al pan, cuando te sirven ponen una rebanada de pan blanco y otra de pan de semillas, tambien estaba muy bueno y lo mejor el aceite que traen para acompañar. Como pega, que a veces no eran los camareros lo que venian a traer mas sino que tenias que pedirlo. Como aperitivo nos sirvieron un consomé y una especie de tartaleta con un escabeche (se come todo, incluido la tosta con forma de cuchara). El consomé espectacular, lo mejor de cena, para entrar en cocina y pedir la receta. Todo lo que pedimos estaba bien ejecutado y con un gran sabor. Comenzamos por los buñuelos de bacalao. Eso si, la mezcla de sabores impresionante. y no olvidar su precio, 5€/ud. Como entrantes, el risotto y las alcachofas. Una pequeña decepcion las alcachofas, las he probado mejores. Solo me quedo con la yema y el crujiente de patata. En cuanto a los platos principales, la merluza y el pato. Buena presentación, bastante minimalista, y en el caso de la merluza muy salado el cocido, en un concurso de la tele el plato sería fallido. Para terminar, de postre la tarta de queso otra decepción, ya se que no es de las que se llevan ahora que se deshacen pero era muy densa y el compañamiento con forma de gota de chocolate blanco era una plasta que no le pega nada, tarta pide a gritos algo fresco y liquido para contrarestar la pesadez del queso. Al menos la cantidad era generosa. Tambien como punto negativo señalar, y ya lo he visto en otras reseñas, el tiempo de 1h y 30min que dejan estar. Desmerece completamente la experiencia por el precio que se paga y coincido en que parace que los camareros estan mas pendiente de cumplir con el tiempo que de que el cliente tenga una buena experiencia En resumen, un sitio agradable de ambiente tranquilo y discreto para celebrar alguna ocasion principal. Recomendable subir a la planta 7, a lo que llaman la Terraza para ver las increibles vistas a la calle...
