The last of the family.
Today we see it everywhere: exposed brick walls, vintage furniture that apparently do not match each other, dim lighting. A menu with dishes from here and there, international inspiration with a Mediterranean base, and a cuisine that never closes. Today it is so common that the opposite seems strange to us. **But 10 years ago it was not usual in Madrid, it was the exception. And the exception was called Lamucca. **
10 years ago it became that place where everyone had to go, c hen we still didn't say that place-to-be. And we all went, let's face it. And many of us returned so much that, 10 years later, there are already five Lamucca restaurants throughout Madrid, the last one with only a year of life in a huge and bright place in the Plaza del Carmen, or La Carmen, as it has been baptized.
When Lamucca gets healthy...
“Since our beginnings, we sought to start up premises in which the client felt at home, In the same way that the fridge or the kitchen of a home are always available, we wanted our premises to also become the ideal place to have lunch or dinner without having to pay too much attention to the clock”, say their creators, the brothers, Ofelia and Alex Marin.
Fish Lamucca, the first place, which today celebrates those 10 years. It became the epicenter of a new Malasaña. Calle del Pez (where today we miss El Palentino so much) was back in fashion. Its terrace in the Carlos Cambronero square became a meeting point. Their nachos or signature pizzas, handmade, made from organic flours, with unusual ingredients, were some of those dishes that would have flooded Instagram if Instagram had been our constant then.
La Carmen, that's what he calls her.
“Our first store in the Malasaña neighborhood was quite a gamble, we were excited about the location and the store was adapted to our dream of bringing Madrid a hospitality concept that the city was crying out for: Informal places, but with a very careful staging, where the client could find the dishes that they are passionate about and, above all, with a schedule that can respond to any need”, say Ofelia and Alex Marín.
The Bravísimas and famous.
To celebrate these 10 years they have launched 10 months of celebrations within each Lamucca and in relation to the neighborhoods in which they have become strong.
They have created maps of leisure plans for neighbors, the muckers faithful. And they will be organizing specific events every month. To close the circle on the 10th day of the 10th month at 10 p.m. with a big party and surprises, they say.
In addition to the new premises, in which musical performances have been added as an attraction. In this tenth year, and despite keep the star dishes intact (the bravísimas, the boletus pizza, the hamburgers), have decided to join some of their establishments (Pez, Almagro) in **the trend of healthy cuisine** adding to the menu salad of kale, poké and buddha bowls and a veggie burger.
With these pizzas we fell in love...
