Every month of february -for 17 years- we elaborate a gastronomic menu taking a tour around all the different cuts of the ox. We enjoy preserving this tradition, which is like a celebration of the ox. José Gordón has travelled to a different country every year with one of his cooks to elaborate a thematic menu. Last year, we did Mexico, and this year China and Hong Kong. We would like to especially thank Luis Arrufat, from the Basque Culinry Center and Adrián Rojas, former chef of Punto MX and current manager and chef of Casa 28 in Espíritu Santo Street in Madrid. They helped us a lot with the menu.

These were the dishes of this years menu:
