The story
At VelascoAbellà in Madrid, the kitchen is led by Montse Abellà and Óscar Velasco, two chefs whose names appear side by side on the door. The restaurant, located at Víctor Andrés Belaúnde 25, offers a dining experience that feels both personal and precise. The team’s approach is rooted in respect for the product and a clear, seasonal vision.
The menu changes with the market, but the philosophy remains constant: let quality ingredients speak. A tasting menu is available, described as a selection of dishes that represent the essence of Óscar Velasco’s cooking, with six savoury courses and two desserts. À la carte options include dishes such as roasted sweet potato salad with yogurt and cardamom, smoked spring onions with octopus and grapefruit, and a cocotte of sea and land tripe with cod and beef. Desserts range from a dark chocolate mousse with olive oil and hazelnuts to strawberries with parmesan cream and black olives.
The restaurant’s recognition with a Michelin star reflects the consistent, high-quality cooking delivered here. The dining room is set up for counter dining and table service, accommodating both lunch and dinner service. The atmosphere is refined but unpretentious, a space where the focus stays on the plate.
VelascoAbellà also offers a “Jarrete at home” option, and the chefs have published two books: “La evolución sencilla” by Oscar Velasco, and “Emulsionar es mezclar con cariño” by Montse Abellà and Raquel Sánchez Silva. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays, with nearby parking available.
