Ramses District continues its commitment to innovation and excellence in lifestyle gastronomy. In addition to already having five luxury restaurants in the capital, now adds another incentive thanks to the new collaboration with Ricardo Vélez, Prix au Chef Pâtissier Academy of Gastronomy 2017 and Best Pastry Chef of Spain 2014 (RAG). The well-known as cocoa chef has elaborated the new sweet culinary proposal of Ramses District. In this way, dessert will take on a unique role in each of the group’s spaces.

This customized sweet offer created for each space and also the menus of all events, includes of course Ramses, Patio de Leones, Flamenco de Leones and its latest opening, Lady Bongo Tiki Raw Bar. In the latter, it will bet on healthy and tasty desserts, fruit-based and with an aesthetic that will transport you to a tropical paradise. Among the proposals, highlights the ‘Lady Bongo Freshness’, a kakigori of lychee and strawberries, light and with a perfect blend of flavors. The option for cocoa lovers could not be missing with the ‘Chocolate Volcano’. Originality is reflected in the ‘Baba Cool’ -with ginger chantilly- or ‘La Isla del Náufrago’, a piña colada made with mango ice cream.

Meanwhile, for the Ramses restaurant, which has a more cosmopolitan and international look, the dessert menu includes ‘The Fabergé Egg’, a tribute to luxury, originality and lifestyle that represents this iconic restaurant, which also celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Another sweet option is the ‘Chocolate Finger’, for the chocoholics, or the ‘Vanilla Millefeuille’, a renewed classic that will surprise.

Its most ‘cañí’ proposal

For the more laid-back side of the group, Vélez has designed a sweet menu with iconic tavern desserts, but in lighter versions. For example, in the Patio de Leones, there is a torrija baked and macerated in cream, served with homemade cream ice cream. Another highlight is the burnt cream with saffron orange, with three textures: orange segments infused with saffron and the two textures of burnt Catalan cream. The visual spectacle is provided by the ‘Clavel de Pasión’, a carnation flower made of chocolate and nuts served on an almond and raspberry sponge cake, perfect for sharing.

And to top off these Spanish desserts, the Flamenco de Leones tablao, overlooking the Puerta de Alcalá, diners can enjoy an assortment of mini desserts representing the Spanish sweet world, while enjoying an incomparable spectacle.
