• Unusual and great food

I had lunch at Botanique last week during a quick visit to Madrid. The food I ate surprised me in terms of uniqueness and of how good it was! I had the lunch menu, which that Wednesday consisted in a delicious vichyssoise and a "crude cannelloni" with guacamole and a filling of tomato, onion, garlic and I don't know what else (accompanied by good salad). I also ordered a dessert, a carob cake (yes, carob, not carrot: it's similar to chocolate, but it's not) which was ok. All in all, I loved the place: the owner/waiter was super nice, I had a seat from which I could see the kitchen and all the delicious-looking stuff prepared by the cook, the mercado is a nice place... really good!!! Also, it was cheap: the menu was 9 euro (water or beer included), and the cake was 2.50.
