Fine dining…. To the max. It’s rare that I’m left speechless, but this did the trick.
The layout is unlike anything I’ve ever tried restaurant-wise. 10 diner opposite of few chefs. Dinner IS the show. Few other staff, one sommelier to note.
As it was a tasting menu, there was many small tastes. Each was a very perfectly designed flavour match, so ample amounts of creamy in the gastrointestinal design. Sadly, nothing at aloud the nutrition in the menu, though.
The style of this restaurant is very individual & food that gives the elements of surprise. Great for the PR in wanting what you can’t have. My father can’t walk, so not very suitable when wishing for accessibility. The staff tried to help as much as possible however.
But they foolishly (maybe) gave everyone a memento of a copy of their menu. Little did they know, I’ll share it with you now;
⁃ Hey Sombridge; Smoked makerel in apple, celeriac & wild mushrooms
⁃ Derby della Madoninsa; osso buco ravolo
⁃ Jaqueline Mate; hake with courgettes, chorizo & almonds
⁃ Finding Oshidori; will duck with salsify, salmon & plum
⁃ 2nd breakfast at the Pranoing; Brie, bacon & cranberry
⁃ Werthers not so original; caramel powder inspired by Grant Achaiz
⁃ Marvin’s machical view; carrot, caramel, mandarin & walnut
Albeit the creativity of flavours, for me, the restaurant experience is not just about the food but much about the ambience.
Beautiful setting, but with the kitchen right in front of you, too much background noise.
Aside from the flavour being divine & the story being engaging, I felt I should be impressed. A beautifully designed menu, for an extraordinary price tag though.
