Personal opinion

Since brunch became fashionable, more and more restaurants, bars, and even hotels have started to prepare menus for these late breakfasts. The term has finally transcended, and it is not strange to find establishments serving brunch all day long. But, despite such a wide range of options, in the end, practically all places offer the same thing. Fortunately, there are a few exceptions, such as EatMyTrip. It is famous for its creative dishes and, now, for being a place where you can order brunch to have dinner in Malasaña.

Honestly, it’s not the first time we visited them, and it won’t be the last! Want to know why? We’ll tell you everything you need to know.

EATMYTRIP, A DIFFERENT PLAN TO HAVE DINNER IN MALASAÑA

EatMyTrip’s adventure began in Barcelona in 2018. Since then, they haven’t stopped romancing social networks with their colorful dishes. Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait too long before they made the leap and opened their first Madrid location in La Latina. Right from its opening in 2020, it has captured the attention of people of all ages. Finally, it became one of the most popular places for brunch in Madrid.

Without losing its original philosophy, EatMyTrip has been able to update its menu to maintain an innovative and differentiating offer. Not only because their dishes are some of the most Instagrammable you can see but also because they honor the restaurant’s name. Their food mixes elements of different gastronomies of the world, so in their dishes, you will find a journey through textures and flavors. Just take a quick look at their website to know what I’m saying.

Having achieved so much success, it’s no surprise that they announced a new opening in Madrid a few months ago. And with it, they have revolutionized the scene. Can you imagine a brunch for dinner in Malasaña? At the new EatMyTrip restaurant, it’s possible! The menu of their new place combines their most popular dishes with “modern comfort food” specialties for dinner. As all this sounds so tempting, we couldn’t resist and, on this occasion, we visited them at night to try some of their new dishes.

If you also want to go and try them, below, you will find a map that will help you locate the restaurant. And now, it’s time to talk about the food!

Truffled potatoes. For those who share when they go out to have dinner in Malasaña

If we talk about potatoes, we must admit people invented almost all possible variations. We are so used to eating them with different sauces or cheese and bacon that when we find something out of the ordinary, we don’t miss the opportunity of trying something new. Honestly, that is what happened when we saw them on the menu. Not only because of the melted cheese but also because it’s mixed with truffled hollandaise sauce.

Since this is not the first time we have eaten at EatMyTrip, we already knew that the sauce could be intense, especially for those who are not truffle lovers. For this reason, we decided to order it separately. This way, everyone was able to dip to their taste. Although the cheese mitigated the taste of the sauce, the truffle flavor was still too intense for my companion. However, I must admit that I found it exquisite.

I also believe it is worth mentioning that the spices of the potatoes gave them a good flavor, a slightly crunchy texture, and a nice piquant touch. In general terms, we can say that this is a dish with perfect quality, quantity, and price ratio.

Hot Latin lover. Perfect for those who want Mexican food for dinner in Malasaña.

As we are very sharing-oriented, our second choice was the “Hot Latin lover.” This dish consists of three varieties kinds of cheese, beans, larded chicken, sour cream, pickled red onion, tomato, and guacamole. It includes some delicious tortillas so you can prepare tacos. If you are craving Mexican food for dinner in Malasaña, don’t doubt it for a second! We are sure you will love it.

Although this is not one of the most attractive dishes on the menu because it is like a jumble of ingredients, its flavor and texture impressed us. On the one hand, the cheese, beans, and guacamole give it a creamy and quite addictive sensation. Meanwhile, the onion makes it crunchy. On the other hand, its flavor highlights mainly by the chicken and the cheese, the tomato provides acidity, and the sour cream gives some balance.

At this point, you’re probably wondering, “where are the jalapeños?” Since we’re not big fans of them, we ordered them on the side. What a good idea! When I decided to try them, I didn’t feel any other flavor except for an intense and lasting spiciness. My recommendation? If you can’t stand spicy, don’t even think about touching them!

Welcome to the dark side

Finally, we ordered the dish called “Welcome to the dark side.” Frankly, we imagine that its name is related to the fact that it is the only dish on the menu in which meat is the true protagonist. But who could resist reading low-temperature beef ribs with homemade kimchi and spicy rice?

Our first target was the rib, which to our astonishment, was so tender and juicy that it was practically unnecessary to use a knife to cut it. Although, for my taste, it lacked a little salt, the quality of the meat and the way they cooked it made it an exquisite piece. Next, I decided to try the kimchi separately. Since it is a fermented food, its flavor is intense, salty, sour, and spicy. Honestly, I was not too pleased.

Secondly, it was time to taste all the ingredients together, and here the magic happened! On the one hand, the kimchi enhances the flavor of the meat, and the rib balances the spiciness of the former, giving it a pleasant touch. On the other hand, the result of the combination of everything is such a satisfying texture that invites you to take the next bite without having finished the previous one.

To sum up, it is a spectacular dish! We recommend it 100%.

EATMYTRIP, ONE OF THE BEST PLANS TO HAVE DINNER IN MALASAÑA

The fact that EatMyTrip is one of the best places to enjoy a good brunch is beyond dispute. I’m not the only one saying it. More than 1,300 people say so in their Google reviews. The truth is that once you try it, you will understand why it has such good reviews. For me, it is not only the presentation and quality of the dishes but also that their staff is always attentive to ensure the best possible experience for their customers. It was neither the first nor the second time we visited them, and it definitely won’t be the last!
