Art in the Plate
Like its name indicates, the Guggenheim Restaurant is located inside the museum, which is a guarantee of quality.
It is a restaurant with creative cuisine but with a very traditional base, that is, the ingredients are easily recognizable by our palate, without too many frills, except for the marvelous presentation.
The best example is found in the “low temperature egg” that I had the pleasure of tasting last week: it is a simple egg over a light base of smashed potatoes that is sprinkled with red onion soup. Or, like the waiter explained to me, a Spanish omelet in three stages. Like I say, the idea is simple, but the result is extraordinary.
The other plates that were offered in the menu that day were the codfish meatballs with Biscayan sauce, glazed cheeks of Iberian pork, and to finish, chocolate cake, coffee mousse, and honey ice cream (which deserves it own monument inside the museum).
The best thing is that the price of the menu (the tasting menu), with wine included, is not too expensive, I think it cost around 25 € which is not too bad considering the kind of restaurant it is. You can also ask for a less expensive menu for less than 20 €. And you can also order out of the regular menu.
In any case, there is no excuse not eat in this magnificent restaurant that is the perfect complement and ending to a morning spent in the museum.
