The green haute cuisine of the Madrid chef, Rodrigo de la Calle, has had its Michelin Star and Green Star confirmed in the 2024 edition of the prestigious tourist guide for the establishment in the traditional Chamberí district, where he moved from Madrid’s sierra in May 2018. Its gastronomic proposal is based on the value of vegetable world in cuisine.
The establishment, structured like a greenhouse, is a small place in which the main room has five tables, each seating four diners. Next to the kitchen is the chef’s table, for 10 diners, the best place to watch the dishes being prepared close up while enjoying the full dining experience.
El Invernadero is an omnivorous restaurant, where animal protein participates as a dressing. It offers gluten-free options as well as for diabetics and allergens in general and it also has special menus for vegetarians or vegans.
De la Calle’s original proposal has four menu options: Vegetalia, which includes the chef’s latest creations; Vegetalia Experience, an all-inclusive Vegetalia tasting menu with pairings, water, bread, cheeses, herbal teas, etc.; Gastrobotánica, a tasting menu with vegetables, meat, fish and seafood, a special menu for omnivores; and Gastrobotánica Experience, an all-inclusive tasting menu with pairings, water, bread, cheeses, herbal teas, etc.
Green Michelin Star
El Invernadero’s Michelin Star is joined by this award in the shape of a clover, which evokes nature, which Michelin has used to recognise its commitment to sustainable gastronomy and raise awareness of those restaurants that share this philosophy, respect the rhythms of nature and strive to innovate, introducing initiatives that preserve the environment through the management of resources and disposal of waste.
The Green Michelin Star is independent of the category and awards of restaurants and may be granted to establishments at all culinary levels.
