Background

About Azahara Madrid

The Story

Azahara belongs to Grupo Macarena, which calls it the alter ego of Macarena, the group's first restaurant: a mix of flavours that never loses its southern touch. The group's roots are Andalusian and its signature is almadraba bluefin, and its restaurants include Casa Julián a few doors along Don Ramón de la Cruz and Jarana in Barbate, on the Cádiz coast. Chef Sergio Fermosell writes Azahara's tuna carta and designs the dishes across the group.

The Cuisine

Mediterranean, built around bluefin tuna. The kitchen is ingredient-led and it's known as a bluefin specialist. The menu is published as an image on the group's site.

The Bluefin

The tuna is wild bluefin, supplied by Gadira, which owns three almadrabas on the Cádiz coast, and JC Mackintosh. It comes raw, semi-raw and in traditional stews: a smoked descargamento tartare, a smoked ventresca 'ham', a tataki of white loin, encebollado and the morrillo, which the carta also sells by weight. The signature is the tuétano, the tuna's marrow, roasted in a charcoal oven and served with a tartare of meat from the spine dressed with the fish's own collagen and an egg yolk.

Furtivo and the Ronqueos

Downstairs is Furtivo, a speakeasy-style room styled like the hold of a fishing boat, with a nod to Japanese tuna fishing. It hosts ronqueos, the live breaking-down of a whole bluefin, all year round, some open to the public and some private; the fish is lowered through the ceiling onto the cutting table. The group posts its event schedule on Instagram.

Beyond the Tuna

The rest of the carta leans Andalusian: puchero croquetas and cuttlefish-ink croquetas, Córdoba-style aubergines with salmorejo, ensaladilla with ventresca and mojama, fried fish, pig's ear cooked low for 16 hours with brava sauce, and a crisp taco of Sanlúcar prawns in ceviche style with guacamole.

Getting There

Calle de Don Ramón de la Cruz 16, in the Goya barrio of the Salamanca district.

Nearby

Goya is Salamanca with the volume turned down, a shopping-and-lunching grid where the standards are high and the rooms are comfortable. The eating is broad and dependable rather than experimental. Parque del Buen Retiro is close enough to build a day around.
