Lina: A High-Quality Madrid Restaurant Offering Value at 45 Euros
This restaurant review highlights Lina, a dining establishment in Madrid that successfully combines an aesthetically pleasing, trendy atmosphere with high-quality cuisine. While the venue risks being categorized as merely a spot for social media photos due to its curated decor, the author argues that the food quality surpasses the typical 'kitsch' often found in such Madrid locations. The reviewer, accompanied by a friend, skipped cocktails to focus on a recommended bottle of white wine and a variety of dishes. Key menu items included a low-temperature egg with smoked sweet potato, amberjack tartar with cashew cream, and suckling pig with ginger, which was preferred over the Angus rib. The meal concluded with grilled beef gizzard. The total cost amounted to 45 euros per person, including wine, which the author considers excellent value. The article contrasts Lina favorably against other local spots where service can be condescending, emphasizing that Lina delivers genuine culinary merit alongside its visual appeal. The chef's background blends Argentine, Mediterranean, and Caribbean influences, though the reviewer advises ignoring pretentious marketing language in favor of the actual dining experience.
