One of the best dining experiences I've had anywhere in the world. I was the first to order the special Taste of Christmas, named "7 países, 7 tesoros", translating to 7 countries, 7 treasures. This menu, a concept on paper, was expertly conjured into reality by its talented chef, Sebastián. Each dish on this menu represents a European country's identity, and all were executed superbly. After each dish, our plates were swiftly taken away and the staff was extremely friendly. I was happy to be able to converse with the chef, who did a masterful job of achieving so much by only using a few ingredients in each dish. Even as a European, I felt myself going to each country as I made my way through the menu. Taking you from a shepherd's hut on an Irish farm to a fine restaurant on the Galican coastline of Spain, the experience of trying the 7 treasures at Pate Palo was truly special.

It was an authentic, memorable, and absolutely wonderful experience. Hats off to Sebastián, and don't miss this restaurant if you're anywhere near la Zona Colonial!
