\nAunque la cocina india no se encuentra entre mis favoritas, cuando surgi\u00f3 la posibilidad de conocer Benar\u00e9s <\/b>no lo dud\u00e9 ni un momento. Hab\u00eda escuchado y le\u00eddo bastantes cr\u00edticas tanto a favor como en contra de su propuesta, por lo que me sedujo la idea de juzgarla por m\u00ed mismo. Su chef, Atul Kochhar , <\/b>no en vano , <\/b><\/span> fue el primer cocinero indio del mundo en
\nconseguir una estrella Michelin en Tamarind y donde ostenta desde 2007 otra
\nestrella al frente de Benares Londres.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

\nEl local que ocupa Benar\u00e9s <\/b>es sencillamente espectacular. Decorado por Cousi<\/b>, el local se distribuye  en un acogedor comedor, una barra
\nsemicircular con vistas a la cocina, un bar abierto a la calle donde disfrutar
\nde sus c\u00f3cteles o de una comida informal y una terraza escondida en un patio
\ninterior ajardinado que yo desconoc\u00eda y que me parece una de las terrazas m\u00e1s acogedora y m\u00e1gicas de Madrid.Las mesas en ella est\u00e1n dispuestas alrededor de un estanque y sobre una de las paredes del recinto cada noche se proyectan im\u00e1genes de la ciudad de Benar\u00e9s y sus gaths. \u00bfSe os ocurre mejor forma de inmersi\u00f3n en la cultura india?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nEn cuanto a su propuesta gastron\u00f3mica , Benar\u00e9s <\/b>supone un salto cualitativo sobre la mayor\u00eda de los indios al uso. Y lo supone porque frente a esa amalgama de especias que en ocasiones provoca rechazo hacia la comida india, en Benar\u00e9s lo que encontramos es elegancia y sutileza. Platos en los que el equilibrio es la t\u00f3nica dominante , en la que los sabores de la materia prima son plenamente reconocibles y en los que nunca se utilizan <\/b><\/span>m\u00e1s de cuatro o cinco especias con el fin de ensalzar
\nsin enmascarar el producto principal. <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nBenar\u00e9s <\/b>tras dos a\u00f1os de existencia en Madrid presenta a partir del pasado mes de septiembre una carta completamente renovada, mucho m\u00e1s orientada a la cocina m\u00e1s tradicional de la India, inspirada en el recetario y las cocciones propias de las casas.<\/b> <\/span>De la anterior etapa
\nsolo se mantienen dos platos estrella: el pollo tandoori marinado con ajo y
\nlim\u00f3n y el steak tartar con especias indias, la \u00fanica \u201cconcesi\u00f3n\u201d a la despensa
\noccidental que hace el chef en su propuesta.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nLos platos de la nueva carta adem\u00e1s est\u00e1n pensados , en su mayor\u00eda, para ser compartidos. <\/b>Como novedad introduce dos men\u00fas degustaci\u00f3n<\/b> que al precio de 35 y 55 euros permiten un acercamiento a la cocina de Kocchar <\/b>sin necesidad de dejarse la cartera. Dichos men\u00fas ofrecen la posibilidad de maridaje opcional al precio de 25 y 35 euros respectivamente. A la carta el precio medio de Benar\u00e9s oscila entre los 40 y 50 euros de ticket medio.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nObligado referirse tambi\u00e9n a su carta de cocteler\u00eda<\/b> que tambi\u00e9n se ha renovado y ofrece una amplia variedad de c\u00f3cteles <\/span> <\/span>que suponen un
\nrecorrido por todos y cada uno de los rincones de la India a trav\u00e9s de
\ningredientes y sabores inspirados en sus paisajes y tradiciones.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nPor \u00faltimo recordaros que desde ayer <\/b><\/span><\/span> <\/span>16 de octubre hasta el d\u00eda al 22 , Benar\u00e9s dispondr\u00e1 de un men\u00fa a
\n45 euros por persona basado en las cenas tradicionales hind\u00faes con las que
\ncelebran el Diwali, su a\u00f1o nuevo.<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
