Rubia Gallega ‘Bikini’ from @restauranteamos @rosewoodvillamagna @rosewoodhotels @_jesussanchez 😮‍💨🥩

This was a crazy bite. The bikini originated in Barcelona but is hugely popular across Spain - didn’t realise until I got to Madrid. This version takes things to another level, with an ingredient selection and level of refinement far above the norm.

Super flakey croissant bread, toasted in clarified butter and Galician beef fat. Briefly pan-seared Rubia Gallega beef tenderloin, served medium. Granja La Sierra cheese from the very same cow, melted beautifully over the top. Confit chocolate peppers and anchovy mayonnaise to finish.

It’s properly indulgent and rich. The anchovy mayo and beef fat hit immediately with deep umami, while the croissant bread is buttery, flakey and seriously moreish.

It’s a sandwich that’ll either put you to sleep or give you enough energy to get you through the day. Wild! Less
