Mar Mía
is a rice restaurant, but also a high-end cocktail bar and a tapas bar.
A space that comes to revolutionize the capital from the Mediterranean.
Located in the
Plaza de Isabel II,
it has just opened its doors at the
Ocean Drive Madrid hotel,
recently inaugurated as well
.
Specifically, it is located in the old
Real Cinema
and in front of the
Teatro Real,
one step away from the Austrias, one more from Puerta del Sol and another from Callao and Gran Vía.
Respect, love and deep
devotion to the Mediterranean
and its wonderful gastronomy are at the base of this project that has a top team, led by
Carlos Bosch
(alma mater of successful projects such as
El Portal de Alicante
or Manero Alicante y Madrid), the well-known hotelier
Marc Rahola Matutes
and the chefs
Rafa Zafra
(the famous Sevillian chef at the head of
Estimar
) and
Luis Rodríguez
(the master of
Casa Elías
, for many the best rice restaurant in Spain in El Xinorlet, Alicante).
The Mar Mia room.
The restaurant is located at the foot of the hotel and is open to guests as well as visitors.
Both will find a warm space, with a rustic air, where there is no lack of artisan ceramics and that Mediterranean air that permeates everything.
The decoration is by
Raquel Giménez
, from the Apple Tart Design interior design studio.
Journey of authentic flavors
This journey through the most authentic Mediterranean begins in
El Puerto
, in the entrance lobby, a cocktail bar that becomes the perfect Madrid afterwork.
Behind it, a tapas bar that offers the most casual face and just after the more "formal" area,
El Chiringuito
, with the genre exposed and the fires and the embers as protagonists.
Among all of the above,
La Playa
is located in its private interior patio, which is a large space filled with natural light.

Finally, on the roof of the building, there is
The Roof
.
It is a
huge Mediterranean terrace with a swimming pool
and privileged views of
the Royal Theater
,
the Royal Palace
and the rooftops of the center of Madrid whose idea is to serve cocktails and snacks.
The "non-stop" kitchen allows you to start the morning with a
gourmet breakfast
(formula 25 euros) in which there is no shortage
of delicious butter croissants, artisan muffins and John Torres sourdough toast.
The appetizer, how could it be otherwise, is signed by
Manero:
sandwiches
(such as the squid, the
lobster roll
or the veal sirloin nugget) and traditional tapas such as
gildas
, salad, boletus croquettes and ham in addition to the already famous cannelloni from Carlos's mother.

's seafaring universe
can be seen in its seafood, such as the excellent shrimp from Santa Pola or king crab, as well as in its seafood rations.
The
rice dishes at Casa Elías
, with rabbit and snail rice as the essential reference of the house, are the undisputed protagonists of the place.
The sweet touch is provided by homemade desserts such as creamy
egg
custard with whipped cream,
chocolate strips or French toast with vanilla ice cream
a la Manero.
liquid menu
Evidently the
wine list is up to the task
and closely linked to this concept of Iberian Mediterranean with numerous wines (also by the glass and generally national) such as generous (manzanilla, oloroso, amontillados...),
sweet, sparkling
(there is no lack of champagne),
rosés
,
whites
and
reds
, many of them with the Manero selection seal of quality.
As for the cocktail menu, in addition to the classics, signature creations stand out, such as the
Bloody Mary Mar Mía
(Belvedere vodka, Tomato juice and the Evil Mix secret sauce), the
Adonis
(red vermouth, Sherry wine and aromatic orange ), the
Pear Martini
(Belvedere vodka, white vermouth, Merlet Poire prepared with vodka, sweet vermouth and pear liqueur), the
Passion for Pisco
(Quebranta pisco, Jamaican rum, passion fruit purée and lime juice), the
Jalapiña
(sake, cachaça, chili and pineapple syrup) or
Hugo Spritz
(St. Germain elderflower liqueur macerated with thyme and Manero cava) to mention just a few elaborations.
Mar Mía
has an extensive menu of distillates in which its selection of tequilas stands out.
Live DJ and performances by jazz, flamenco or singer-songwriter groups make up an extensive program that can be checked on their website and accompany the evenings for eternal after-meals, unforgettable sunsets and magical nights.
