The two Michelin starred La Terraza del Casino was my balling-out-of-control meal during my trip to Madrid. Initially overseen by the legendary Ferran Adria, it's now led by Paco Roncero and the tasting menu draws heavily from El Bulli.After beginning with cherry and yuzu cocktails, we were presented with "olive oil butter," a playful spin on spherification. This was followed with "goat cheese and quince moshi," but really, this was more like a tiny green salad served alongside a mini toothpaste tube of, well, more solid olive oil. Next came the "chocolate and foie gras Filipino." I don't know what the Filipino part of this was all about, but this was basically melt-in-your-mouth foie gras encased in white chocolate. My husband loved this. Me? Not so much.After a delicious take on tuna tartare served sushi hand roll style, we were served "guacamole and herring." This was a more sophisticated version of so many of the herring tapas I'd seen around Madrid. The creamy avocado was a perfect foil for the vinegared fish. Next came a glazed and simple plating of Peking duck followed by the "fried quail egg and potato." I've never eaten off of a clothesline before, and while I loved the playful presentation, I wished for more flavor.After my "shrimp omelet" came the "frozen tomato rock." Yet another take on spherification, and I enjoyed this one a lot. The icy exterior gave way to a liquid tomato center. So much concentrated tomato goodness! Next came my favorite dish of the evening: fresh almonds and caviar. Just give me all the caviar, please. I enjoyed this immensely. Even the almonds were perfect. They reminded me of the freshly peeled raw almonds that are so common as a snack in Iranian cuisine. I'd lost count of our course at this point, and we were next presented with "moluscada," a delicious plate of mussels and clams in a light broth. So good. This was followed by gnocchi with pesto and baby cuttlefish. The gnocchi were ethereal.But here's where things began to go wrong. Our next course was the "vegetable garden." The presentation was very cool: a mini vegetable garden, wooden box and all, alongside a pair of shearing scissors with which to harvest our salad with. But beneath the salad's breadcrumb "soil" laid gobs and gobs of mayonnaise. SO MUCH MAYONNAISE. What is it with Spain and aioli overload? I couldn't stomach this.Things got back on track with the umami-laden olive oil paella. Then came the sole a la meuneire. I wished this had more flavor, but them's the breaks with white fish. The last savory course of the evening was the Iberian pork with yucca and dates. This wasn't my vibe, but that's okay. I was saving room for dessert anyway.The first dessert course was named "Versailles," which was basically a rose with what seemed like dyed fruit slices enveloped inside as petals. Were we being punked? Aptly enough I felt the same way when I went to the actual Versailles and saw how long the ticket lines were. The next dessert course, called "strawberries and cream," was a plate of strawberry ice cream garnished with tufts of spongy cake. The last course of the evening was "unique origins chocolate bonbons," or what I like to call, "thirty-six pieces of chocolate when you're too full to touch even one." Is La Terraza trolling the world? We'll never know.
