In a city like Madrid , with such a gastronomic offer, escaping from the ordinary seems a difficult task, but Unusual It doesn't get that name by chance . The hotel group Accor has decided to bet on this new restaurant and it does so, without a doubt, on a winning horse. A relaxed atmosphere with a fusion cuisine they can only be the ingredients of a good recipe.
Where? unusual occupies the ground floor of the Novotel & Ibis Styles Madrid City Las Ventas hotels , close to Arturo Soria. When? We don't like anyone telling us when to enjoy one of our favorite plans, such as eating out, and for this reason, this new gastronomic Eden is simply designed to for any time . With friends, as a couple, for work, as a family... In Unusual, you choose.
Who? Three names are the protagonists who tell this story: Javier Bello , F&B manager Spain and Portugal and creator of the project, the decorating studio Stone Designs and the branding agency fandom . The result of this triad is a setting halfway between sophistication and fun, without neglecting good taste, not only in aesthetics, but also on the palate.
The Insólito terrace attracts all eyes.
THE PROTAGONIST: THE FIRE
Any lover of good food is clear that, charcoal, everything tastes better . It is a kind of gastronomic mantra. A proposal based on top quality local ingredients , with touches of fusion cooked on the grill, sounds too good, and tastes better.
The person in charge of doing magic with fire is Tito Blanco from Madrid . His career in the capital has passed through popular places like Mare Nostrum or Gourmet Bar. But the Accor group has also accompanied him on a road that has stopped at the Novotel Madrid Campo de las Naciones and Pullman Madrid Airport & Feria hotels.
At Insólito, no matter what you choose on the menu, there are no bad decisions when it comes to a delicious proposal. However, its star dishes can help you choose, for example, for grilled hass avocado with salmon tartar seasoned oriental style , a classic but renewed dish for avocado lovers (which are not few). For those who cannot conceive of a menu without a good portion of green, the Chinese charcoal-roasted eggplant with red hazelnut pesto and coriander micro leaves.
And for true carnivores, there are three safe options: the Unusual Burger Signature with Guadarrama veal cooked over Josper embers, the carved grilled veal chop or the grilled beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes celeri , wok vegetables and spiced juice. The icing on the cake is put by the creamy cheesecake with peta chocolate zetas and chunks of red fruit.

Among the many reasons that lead us to eat out, apart from the food, the stage has a strong role. And in Unusual, all the spotlights look towards its large outdoor terrace . A chill out style lighting and a view of the city that probably become the cause of wanting to extend your evening.
