La Musa Restaurant -Madrid, Spain
Fusion dining at its best!
La Musa has always stood out as an establishment that strikes a rare balance between the luxurious and the alternative – not an easy task. When they reopened last year after more than a year of closure, provocative changes were noted by all.
The minimalist dining room/bar, which evokes “periodic chart” - its walls segmented into squares each labeled with cryptic-alpha numeric codes - had been not “revitalized” but “revandalized” with stencil graffiti strewn here and there.
The changes reaffirmed that La Musa is not a place of refined elegance but reDEfined elegance. After all, why can’t elegance be edgy, quirky, and festive?
The menu is as unique as the environment offering a fusion, which manages to incorporate Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Asian cuisine.
Venturing downstairs into the café bar you find yourself in a completely different environment. In contrast to the high ceilings and light decor upstairs, this hovel-ish space seems like a secret hide-a-way. TVs mounted on the walls let you get caught up on your favorite old Atari games (sound turned off) and the dimly-lit environment allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the above world.
Whether you are seeking the lighter and more airy restaurant or the more bodega-style café, you won’t be disappointed.
