This place overlooks the river and was pretty well booked out the night we were there in Mid February. We took the earliest reservation offered at 9 pm and our party of four opted for the tasting menu entitled:
Creation, Freedom and Tendencies
Cucumber impregnated with vegetable drops, melon sauteed with mint, all seasoned with kafir, cardamon and grapefruit
Roasted Red Endives soaked in a shellfish and cardamon stock, with a smooth orange blossom flavored grapefruit cream
Roasted aubergine flavored with makil goxo, based on a yogurt emulsion, Farga olive(reputed to be from 1000 year old trees)
Roasted Fish on a wild garlic juice with Ballobar capers and lemon herb
Iberian Pork piece, honey, marinated potato
Baker esperiega apple gnocchi on whipped cheese with green cardamon and cinnamon ice cream
An unusual finale entitled "Use your Hands" which had a coffee textured toasted beer ice cream, orange skin confit with orange blossom
Service was absolutely terrific. Some molecular gastronomic touches with the added bonus of a magical expanding napkin and a little bit of theater with a solitary leather gloved bread service that made me think of Michael Jackson.
Not a single missed note....expect great press and Michelin recognition soon for Josean.
