"Deessa is a restaurant like no other and is the gourmet standard-bearer of the Mandarin Oriental Ritz in Madrid. The incomparable dining room, exquisitely laid out in the Alfonso XIII salon overlooking the garden, is the perfect setting in which to savour the intrinsic beauty of the great Quique Dacosta’s exquisite culinary vision. This celebrated chef keeps a watchful eye on everything here, closely following the cuisine created by resident head chef Domenico Vildacci. Their elegant dishes exploring the flavours of the Mediterranean and the Extremadura region are showcased on two tasting menus: one entitled “Histórico Quique Dacosta”, featuring the chef’s signature dishes from his three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Dénia, and “Contemporáneo QDRITZ”. A reduced version of both menus, enticingly called “Esencia”, is also available at lunchtime midweek." - Michelin Inspector
