MADRE

MADRE operates on the conviction that modern Mexican cuisine can be entirely plant-based without sacrificing the soul or the technical complexity of traditional flavors. This Amsterdam-based 'declaration of love' utilizes innovative methods to replicate the heft of meat, most notably in the 3D printed 'pork' birria quesatacos. The texture is uncannily similar to slow-braised shoulder, served with a smoky, spice-laden dipping broth that provides a deep, resonant aroma. The Mole Rosa is another highlight, a sophisticated white chocolate-based sauce infused with red fruits and beetroot, offering a silky mouthfeel and a vibrant, floral balance. Grilling techniques are applied to artichokes to create a barbacoa that is both tender and intensely flavorful. The presentation is chic and colorful, mirroring the buzzy energy of the Jordaan district. By prioritizing sustainability and technical inventiveness, the kitchen delivers a dining experience that feels revolutionary, proving that the future of Mexican gastronomy is inclusive.
