This restaurant is
one of Madrid's institutions,
providing luxury together
with exquisite cuisine.
For over 40 years it
has played host to Madrid's
social elite and Spain's
most distinguished guests.
Jockey and Horcher
belong to a generation
of restaurants in Madrid
which represent the
best gastronomy in the
capital if not the country.
Clodoaldo Cortés,
the founder of Jockey
in 1945, worked for
the elite in the' Hotel
Ritz' or in Alfonso
XIII de Sevilla. Names
such as Clemencio Fuentes
can be added to Jockey
and this restaurant
has been responsible
for organising lunches
and dinners for the
country's most important
dinners and events.
Jockey restaurant has
spent 40 years at the
head of the list of
the capital's best restaurants,
according to some with
French influences and
according to others
Spanish influences.
Many have been suprised
by the magic of this
restaurant, even Paul
Bocouse.
Similar to Horcher
the menu continues to
be quite conventional
something which pleases
some but attracts criticism
from others. Quality
and unquestionable professionality
have made this one of
the best restaurants
in the country not to
mention the use of only
the best ingredients.
Esteban Sánchez
continues to be in charge
of the kitchen. His
most recognised contribution
being his excellent
use of game in many
dishes which are all
expertly prepared. However
his conservative approach
has cost him criticial
acclaim in gastronomic
guides.
Th excellent service
is directed by Carmelo
Pérez. A selection
of over 600 wines from
all over the world.
Prices in accordance.
Catering service available.
