Restaurant 'Relais Gourmand' en ville
Under the watchful eye of Santi Santamaria, the Catalan chef at Can Fabes, Oscar Velasco and his team conjure up, in the heart of Madrid, innovative seasonal cuisine that is both esthetic and masterly in its use of delicious ingredients. Every morning, in the first light of dawn, deliveries pile up in the kitchen, arriving from markets and ports throughout the country, which will determine the "grand menu" of the day. Treated with respect and the utmost simplicity, Mediterranean lobster is served grilled with a lemony gratin and young peas from the first picking at Maresme. If you're looking for minimalism, try the poached egg with caviar and cauliflower purée. The green salad is a perfect example of a union of "simple" and noble products: young green shoots are paired with green apple, pine nuts and black truffle shavings.

You'll also find some of Santamaria's signature dishes, including his incredible ravioli of thin langoustine slices filled with ceps, a tribute to the man whose skill has guided Velasco for years and his Santceloni Veal Shank.
