Metropolis presents the XIII edition of the critical and informative gastronomic yearbook of Madrid and its surroundings with almost 1,800 addresses and 200 news
When, at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, we got down to work with the first edition of this Guide, not even the most optimistic could imagine that we would continue here, thirteen years later and already entering the third decade of life . Today, as yesterday, the main, and almost unique, objective of those who do it (and those who have done it in previous years and, for some reasons or others, are no longer here) has been none other than being privileged witnesses and notaries Reliable of the things of eating in the capital, in the Community of Madrid and in the neighboring provinces , for the use and enjoyment of both the people of Madrid and all those who visit, and live, this mesetary villa that one day became a court . After all, it was only a matter of transferring the weekly experience of a magazine like Metropolis to a yearbook, which will turn 30 in May 2020, being the main chronicler of the gastronomy of the capital.
In this time we have attended hundreds (we would even dare to say thousands) of openings and as many hundreds (we would even dare to say thousands) of closures , which is an unequivocal sign of the volatility of a business such as hospitality and how Customer tastes are capricious and changing: what was fashionable yesterday happens, overnight, to be moderated . The 200 novelties that we include in this year's edition give good proof of the first. And a look at the "obituaries" (which, by the way, is one of the most commented and read pages of the Guide, the Spaniards are like this and we will not change at this point in the film), of the latter.
In any case, for us it is a pleasure and a satisfaction to verify, one more year, that the gastronomic health of Madrid (and its surroundings, there is to prove it the new three EMEs, Iván Cerdeño, in Toledo) is enviable , and now Many great capitals of the world would like it for themselves. And not only for its variety, which would be almost enough by itself, nor for having some tables that can compete from you to you, without complexes, with the great dining rooms of the rest of the planet, but for the effort and achievements of a large and more than appreciable middle class, which is what makes the difference and, above all, the daily life of Madrid.
