\"Galer\u00eda

Galer\u00eda Canalejas Food Hall.<\/p><\/div>\n

Galer\u00eda Canalejas Food Hall<\/strong><\/a>, a stone\u2019s throw from Puerta del Sol, offers a one-of-a-kind experience that takes you on an extraordinary culinary journey of flavours and aromas, courtesy of 13 restaurants and a gourmet zone to suit all tastes. Without setting foot outside Madrid, we can travel around the world, from Japan to Mexico and from Italy to Galicia.<\/p>\n

\"Galer\u00eda

Galer\u00eda Canalejas<\/p><\/div>\n

Just before 12 noon, people start to gather. There\u2019s a sense of expectation in the run-up to the moment when the doormen, elegantly dressed in uniforms created by the century-old atelier Casa Sese\u00f1a<\/strong>, open the doors: \u201cWelcome to Galer\u00eda Canalejas<\/a> Food Hall\u201d. The same scene has played out every morning since December, when this spectacular food hall arrived in our city to stay. Covering an area of 4,000 square metres, it boasts 13 restaurants and a gourmet zone you\u2019ll never want to leave. It’s a place bursting with flavours and aromas, right in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

\"Galer\u00eda

But let\u2019s start at the beginning. This new culinary concept is part of Centro Canalejas Madrid,<\/strong> a complex created by transforming and rehabilitating seven adjacent historic buildings located next to the Puerta del Sol. The complex includes the Four Seasons<\/strong> hotel, shops by Herm\u00e8s<\/strong> and Cartier<\/strong> and a shopping gallery<\/strong> scheduled to open in the coming months where you\u2019ll find the top fashion and fine jewellery brands.<\/p>\n

\"The

The Eight<\/p><\/div>\n

With an entrance right in Calle de Alcal\u00e1, the Food Hall is a constant temptation. Before heading downstairs, you could stop at The Eight<\/strong><\/a>, the only one of the restaurants open to the street. It\u2019s helmed by chef Juli\u00e1n M\u00e1rmol<\/strong>, whose restaurant Yugo The Bunker, also in Madrid, has a Michelin star. The charcoal grill is the irrefutable star of the show at this establishment, which has an outdoor seating area and redefines classic formats like hamburgers and sandwiches.<\/p>\n

\"Monchis\"

Monchis<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honour for me to be a part of the exclusive Galer\u00eda Canalejas Food Hall, the capital’s new iconic luxury space. I truly can\u2019t think of a better place in which to launch my latest two gastronomic ventures,\u201d says the chef. The other restaurant he\u2019s referring to is Monchis<\/strong><\/a>, which is downstairs. It\u2019s a crossroads between Mexico and Japan that combines creativity and excellence in terms of both ingredients and technique. Its omakase<\/em> bar -a term that means \u201cput yourself in the chef\u2019s hands\u201d in Japanese- offers a unique experience. Although it is Mexican, it follows a Japanese philosophy, and the menu is full of things like tacos<\/em>, gorditas<\/em>, infladitas<\/em> and tamales, <\/em>which are transformed into bite-sized nibbles with a Japanese influence.<\/p>\n

\"19.86

19.86 by Rub\u00e9n Arnanz<\/p><\/div>\n

19.86 by Rub\u00e9n Arnanz <\/strong><\/a>is a creative, cosmopolitan establishment by the chef from Segovia, one of the youngest ever to earn a Michelin star. At the helm of his first solo project in Madrid, he is guided by the legacy of the Castilian and Mediterranean cultures that have had the greatest influence on him. At this boutique-restaurant, his most personal, diverse dishes are harmoniously complemented by delicious cocktails and wines with a soul. For Rub\u00e9n Arnanz \u201cthis is a new challenge that lets me continue to give my best in an original, one-of-a-kind space\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Salvaje\"

Salvaje<\/p><\/div>\n

Signature Japanese cuisine has found its place in the restaurant Salvaje<\/strong><\/a>: a space where Japanese food is tweaked with flavours and techniques from all over the world. Venezuelan chef Ferm\u00edn Azkue<\/strong> is responsible for fusing influences from the planet\u2019s most exotic places together. You\u2019ll also find oriental flavours at Le Petit Dim Sum<\/strong><\/a>, which transports us to Shanghai. Here, you can enjoy an exquisite selection of artisan dim sum<\/em> along with cocktails and other traditional dishes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Davvero\"

Davvero<\/p><\/div>\n

Tradition is something they know a lot about at Davvero<\/strong><\/a>, which serves the most famous Italian dishes and is guided by a basic principle: the pasta is always made on site. In this restaurant, you\u2019ll also find a piccolo mercato<\/em>, or mini market, where you can buy different types of fresh pasta, cheese, sauces, oil, vinegar and creamy soups, as well as a wide selection of Italian wine. It\u2019s a foodie’s dream, just like the oysters at French restaurant Daniel Sorlut<\/strong><\/a>, which you can enjoy in its display cooking area.<\/p>\n

\"St.

St. James<\/p><\/div>\n

Spanish fare also has a place in the Food Hall. A giant octopus decorates Garelos<\/strong><\/a>, which brings exquisite ingredients and dishes to Madrid from Galicia, ranging from the famous Betanzos potato omelette to cheese and shellfish to wines with the R\u00edas Baixas, Ribeiro and Valdeorras Designations of Origin. DBellota<\/strong><\/a>, in exclusive partnership with Cinco Jotas, offers the best Ib\u00e9rico ham as well as cheeses and hot dishes that are also made with Ib\u00e9rico pork and ham. With Jes\u00fas Almagro as gastronomic advisor, St. James<\/strong><\/a> restaurants have opened a new branch in Madrid, where they continue to cook their wonderful paellas. If you\u2019re in the mood for something sweet, there are two options: the Italian gelato at Amorino<\/strong><\/a> and the pastries at El Goloso<\/strong><\/a>, a renowned bakery from Taranc\u00f3n, in Cuenca.<\/p>\n

\"Amorino\"

Amorino<\/p><\/div>\n

The Food Hall wouldn’t be complete without representation by a classic Madrid bakery: Horno de San Onofre<\/strong>. It\u2019s one of the 20 speciality spaces in the MAD Gourmets<\/a><\/strong> area, which is spread across more than 650 square metres. You\u2019ll be spoilt for choice! There\u2019s Avocados<\/strong>, for avocado lovers, Huma<\/strong>, which has vegan offerings, La Carmela<\/strong>with its Spanish tapas, Favela<\/strong>, which serves traditional Brazilian cuisine, Bugabar<\/strong>, with cocktails and pickled foods, Healthy Poke<\/strong>, with its \u201chealthy and delicious\u201d food, Hot Now<\/strong>, a modern take on the traditional pizzeria\u2026 and John Barrita<\/strong>, which offers delicious signature sandwiches. Simply irresistible!<\/p>\n
