We returned to Madrid for dinner at Terraza del Casino. The building is a beautiful nineteenth century private club, and the acclaimed restaurant is the Madrid outpost of Spain's most famous chef, Ferran Adria. So we were expecting big things as we ascended to the top floor. The elevator opened, and we deflated a bit, as the soaring ceilings and elaborate detailing of the building were obscured by drab carpeting, beat up furniture and a dirty brown color scheme. The food, however, was excellent, really interesting ideas, some of which were too wacky but overall very enjoyable. We did a very long and elaborate tasting menu, which was too much for me to write down, so I only have the rating I gave it to attest to how much I liked it (Food-20, Decor-11, Service-16). Interestingly, as I was scouring the internet for photos of the place, I came across what looks to be a new design for the place. I've included photos of the old and new, but clearly the new looks much more interesting and more in keeping with the idea of the place. I also checked out the current menu, which includes such classics as Nitro-corn with foie gras air, cod intestines with curry, and a paella of Kellogg's corn flakes.
