El Brote — Restaurant in Madrid

Went there last night and it did not meet my expectations. I spent 30euros and had 1,5 plates which did not feel like dinner. Mushrooms can be really delicious if nicely cooked. The ladies serving there were super friendly in the beginning, but as the time passed by they were taking plates away without asking and they were always trying to change our selection of dishes. We ended up eating what they were recommended - which was not very satisfactory in the end. When we were asked how did we find the food, I said that this time it did not fully meet my expectations. The lady asnwered that this may have been as I had too much wine! Do you think this is the right answer to give to a client? (I had only had 2,5 glasses) I dont think I will go back to this place again, and this is because of dissapointment on food wise and on the service. A much better place to have mushrooms is "Cisne...

🍽 CENA en @el_brote, un restaurante especializado en setas y productos silvestres. Lo voy a encuadrar en categoría de “RESTAURANTES ÚNICOS” ya que no existe ninguno comparable en todo MADRID que trabaje un producto principal base, la seta, configurando toda su variedad de platos !!!!! y de qué manera !!!!! Los fundadores son Pablo Roncal, jefe de cocina, Eduardo Anton y Alvaro De La Torre, expertos recolectores de setas. Una cocina con el mejor producto y respetando las virtudes de cada ingrediente. No tienen un menú fijo, sino uno que cambia según los mejores productos que encuentran en la Naturaleza en cada una de las temporadas.

Cute place, very kind and professional staff. Had two sessions starting at 20:00 and 22:00. We did 20:00 and it was a little early as not a lot of people showed up till the end of the first session.

We started off with chickweed and it was very well seasoned. Had a very nice mouthfeel also. Then they recommended we do the following: Wood Hedgehog - was a great flavor and texture combo. I definitely recommend. Winter black truffle - I didn’t get a lot of truffle in taste but it was great nonetheless. Had a consistency of a russian salad. Morel - nice salad with warm morel mushrooms and little bursts of tangy dressing and eggplant.

House wine - lovely and smooth.

Overall: definitely recommend to everyone. Great for vegetarians and meat...
