🇬🇧 London's "Chef's Counter" Dining | Donostia Restaurant
📍 Donostia Restaurant Following my last post—let's talk about that PERFECTLY oozy Basque cheesecake again because it deserves its own spotlight! 🧀🔥 This isn't your typical small-plates tapas spot, but it nails all the classic Spanish bistro vibes with heartier portions. Pro tip: Book the counter seats for front-row views of the chef’s magic! 👨🍳✨ ✨ The Meal That Stole My Heart ✨ Starter: Seasonal Peaches + Sardines on Sourdough 🍑🐟 Sweet, salty, and so balanced—the peaches were juicy perfection, and the sardines? Silky-rich. That tangy sourdough tied it all together. Chef’s kiss. 💋 Main: Pork Shoulder "Like Steak" 🐖🔪 Sounds wild, but trust me—this pork was so tender, so flavorful, I swore it was premium beef. Juicy, caramelized edges, melt-in-your-mouth texture… Unreal. 🤯 The Chef’s Signature "Oozy" Touch 🥚🍳 The tortilla (Spanish omelette)? Runny, golden, eggy bliss. The chef nails that liquid-center technique—every bite was creamy, savory heaven. Basque Cheesecake: Need I Say More? 🎂💫 A restaurant named "Basque Kitchen" better deliver—and oh, it does. Creamy, barely set, with that iconic burnt top. Pure indulgence. 💡 Why You’ll Love It Counter seating = dinner + a show (watch the chef work that plancha!). Cozy but lively—great for dates or small groups. Portions are generous (no leaving hungry here!). #LondonDining #SpanishFood #ChefsCounter #BasqueCheesecake #LondonFoodie #HiddenGems #DateNightIdeas #UKRestaurants #FoodieFinds
