Deessa is the cornerstone of my project for Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid.
Here, we offer some of the most celebrated dishes of my professional career,which led to me achieving three Michelin stars, as well as other wonderfuldishes created together with the cusine’s team of the universe.
We have aimed to design a menu full of beauty, sensuality and aromas, where
the star of the show is the product and its seasonality. One of our core values
is working with local producers, who help us get as close toexcellence as possible.
The narrative at Deessa is a tale of sea and land—a gastronomic story with abeginning and perhaps an end. We hope that when you have finished, you will
be eager to learn more.
This is without doubt the most ambitious, seductive and coveted space atMandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid. It is where magic happens, where anything ispossible and dreams come true, including those of myself and my team: wewish simply to cook for you and fulfil your culinary fantasies.
