Our story.

Our archive documents a truffle smash in December 2020 and the restaurant already open in Malasaña in January 2021: beef pressed to order, browned edges, brioche and cheese made in-house.

Our Madrid smash story began in 2020. Explore the original dated posts, the wider history of the technique and the publications that have written about us.
