Montia, run by chef Dani Ochoa, offers a "naturalistic" take on haute cuisine and has had a Michelin star since 2014. They offer two tasting menus: a long one (€100) and an extra long one (€115). The latter adds two tripe dishes, which are delicious and supposedly the best in the Madrid area. Many of the ingredients are seasonal and locally sourced, so the specific dishes change regularly. In our case, there was a strong presence of mushrooms, even in the desserts. Some elaborations felt more refined than usual for a one-star restaurant, which may suggest they're going for the second star. My favorites were the deconstructed egg with a champignon demi-glaze and trout roe as well as the beetroot dessert with crunchy kale. The interior is beautiful and excudes a rustic charm, with clay walls and lots of wood, a chimney in the interior dining room and two massive trees on the glass-covered terrace, where we had the pleasure to spend the 3+ hours of our lunch. A great experience.
