Lonely Planet India – August 2019

Madrid is underscored by how young
some of the key players are. Chef Javier
Aranda received the first of his two
Michelin stars in 2014, when he was just

27. Sitting in his restaurant, La Cabra,
    he talks passionately about his desire to
    put his own mark on traditional Madrid
    dishes. His menu features churros
    cooked in the fat of Ibérian ham, and
    pork cheek served with langoustine
    and mussels, catering to madrileños’
    evolving tastes. “A lot of people here
    are still very traditional, but the city
    is becoming more open-minded,”
    says Javier. “We are starting to value
    innovation. That wasn’t common
    inMadridafewyearsago,butthings
    arechanging.”
