Merci meats, the must of its main dishes
Thanks for coming. A “Mercy” in large metal letters received and dismissed customers from Little Appetit , one of the successes in fast and healthy meals in recent years. A “Merci” so grateful that people thought it was the real name of the place. For this reason, when the partners of Petit Appetit decided to set up a new gourmet restaurant in Madrid, they were very clear about what they had to call it: ** Merci .**

In thank you , unlike in the Petit Appetit, he is going to eat calmly . To take your time enjoying the dishes of season products that are not hidden in sauces to "enhance their flavor", says Pablo Gonzalez del Tanago , one of the group's partners and behind the design of the new restaurant.
The menu is extensive but you can see it at a glance because of its basics: creams and salads (in a nod to Petit Appetit) ; From Orchard , one of its strengths and where one of its star dishes is hidden: the artichokes (although warm white asparagus or verdinas have nothing to envy them) ; to share r, a nod to the East with the nems; and then the main ones, with options for everyone: Pasta and Eggs; meats (with a good steak tartare) and Fish , where they have recovered, for example, a traditional and delicious dish such as sole Meuniere.
Artichokes, one of Merci's strengths
Their market kitchen In addition, it harmonizes perfectly with the simple elegance of the space. the venue was an old coal cellar from the 19th century , a past that is still preserved in the tiled façade, with large windows that fill the room with natural light. Within, have regained their original appearance partly erasing all traces of the previous tenant the popular the peat . The exposed iron columns, wooden floors, white walls and a hand-painted mural.
And of course, in the hall a large Merci in metallic letters who greets and says goodbye to new customers.
