At number 123, Calle de la Ribera del Manzanares, is the restaurant that many already consider to be the most eagerly awaited opening of the year in the capital. OSA is the new project of chefs Jorge Muñoz and Sara Peral, who are taking over the gastronomic direction of the restaurant. It has not yet opened to the public (it will do so during the month of March)., but it is already causing a stir among gastronomic experts. It has all the ingredients to become one of Madrid’s temples.
The restaurant, located in a house on the banks of the Manzanares River, is an oasis of tranquillity in the heart of Madrid’s hustle and bustle, where only 20 diners can enjoy its dishes per service. The premise is to offer a gastronomic experience that begins before you arrive at the restaurant, on the walk along the riverbank on the way to the house.
The team led by Muñoz – trained at Mugaritz (San Sebastián) and La Tasquita de Enfrente (Madrid), and who made a splash a couple of years ago with Picones de María – and chef Sara Peral -who has also worked in the kitchens of Mugaritz, DiverXO or Coque- define themselves as artisans. They say of themselves that they are “goldsmiths who polish until the essence comes to the surface”. And their dishes are a tribute to tradition and identity.
In its menu, with daily variations, you can taste dishes such as Rilletes-Conejo-Le Mans, Trucha-Bedón-Manzano, Salmonete Amasake; Salsifi-Cabra, Chocolate-Faeroerne, Civet-Lombarda; Tuétano – Maresme, Anguila – Anago; Lengua – Wagyo, Jabalina – Costilla-Adobo / Inoshisni-Sando; Zampone-Daganzo…. All this, of course, paired with the spectacular wines from its cellar.
