KÖKÖCHIN
Kököchin
A trip to the Far East where you can enjoy traditional cuisine
Words: Jose A. Muñoz - Photography: Kököchin
A gastronomic journey
through Asia, with
flavours from traditional
cuisine, signature
sushi and Thai flavours
inspired by the route
taken by Kokochin and
Marco Polo.
The finishing touch
is provided by the
cocktails, which chart a
course of good taste.
In Madrid's Aravaca neighbourhood, where exclusivity
coexists with discretion, a restaurant has opened that
looks to the East with ambition and respect. Its name is
Kököchin, after the Mongolian princess who travelled
the Silk Road accompanied by Marco Polo, and its offering
is not just another addition to Madrid's Asian cuisine scene:
it is a true gastronomic journey, with historical roots, quality
produce and meticulous execution in every dish.
Kököchin is the latest venture from the Mandarín Group,
known for restaurants such as El Bund and Casa Lafu. On
this occasion, the group goes one step further and creates
a narrative that combines ancestral Chinese cuisine with
influences from Japan, Thailand and India, and an interior
design that transports diners from the first drink to the last
mochi. There is no artifice: there is cuisine, there is techni-
que and there is concept.
