Sergi Arola is a Catalonian chef who has risen to fame as one of Ferran Adria’s most popular disciples.
In the cosmopolitan capital of Madrid, Arola has five restaurants including his namesake Sergi Arola, a gastro vermut bar in the basement below and Vi Cool for his innovations with tapas.
Vi Cool reinterprets traditional tapas in a contemporary, relaxed, and stylishly cool atmosphere.
My first exposure to the restaurant was not even in Spain. It was in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the location has now closed, but the tapas and those signature patatas bravas left a lasting impression.
So naturally, Vi Cool in Madrid was a necessary visit.
The menu features all of Arola’s signature creations from cocas, his Catalan style pizzas, to Bravas de Arola, his famous reinterpretation on the traditional patatas bravas.
The sophisticated approachability, the playful presentation, and the taste of quality all speak for themselves.
The tapas experience is already fun. Vi Cool makes tapas even more fun.
