MADRID - RESTAURANTE TRICICLO
RESTAURANTE TRICICLO Michelin Bib Gourmand
The name fits this restaurant like a glove, as the “tricycle” acts as a very accurate metaphor for the three young chefs running the show here. One worked in the original DiverXO restaurant in the Madrid district of Tetuán, one was always a chef and the other, was a cyclist and poet.
The simple décor combines the height of rusticity with an endearing bistro charm. This simplicity is compensated by a high degree of culinary expertise, which is showcased, in well-prepared and attractively presented dishes, that encompass the personal and traditional, as well as oriental and fusion influences. Dishes on the menu can also be ordered as half portions (medias raciones) or as tapas if desired.

Various bread, olive, plain white and brown seeded with olive oil with homemade smoked butter.
