Inventive Canary Islands cuisine, tasting menus, Michelin star
"It was clear that Gofio’s cuisine needed a change of scenery and a larger space in which to give full rein to the cuisine of the Canary Islands and at first glance it seems to have worked! The new premises, located in a street parallel to the ever-busy and bustling Gran Vía, is laid out on two floors with a private space at street level and the main dining room in the basement, in the style of a modern bistro with an open kitchen. The Tenerife-born chef at the helm, Safe Cruz, showcases the traditional flavours of the islands from a creative perspective on three tasting menus (Gofio Express, Canariedad Máxima and Canariedad Máxima Plus) that successfully convey the essence of this volcanic archipelago through an array of small bites. These include the “salpicón” of red tuna with a coriander mojo and “causa” with Palmera pepper; white prawns with a prawn head mojo and cardamom mojo; and baked red mullet with a jus made from its bones and chive oil, all of which are meticulously prepared and are full of flavour." - Michelin Inspector
"It’s not easy to find food from the Canary Islands in Madrid, but the Spanish islands are well represented at Gofio in the Literary Quarter. At the small but outstanding restaurant, the tasting menu focuses solely on the flavors of the archipelago without relying on stereotypes. Cooks play creatively with the ingredients and seasonal produce of the islands, and they bring the same energy to the wine list and dessert. Gofio is a mind-blowing experience that proves Spain has much more to offer than just paella and sangria." - Paula Móvil
