It's a pretty nice place with very kind, responsive, and hospitable people in service. I haven’t noticed any snobbery or arrogance. Past-year signs from Michelin stand right on the table in the middle of the kitchen, I believe as a reminder for a team of the needed level of taste and quality.
I really like all of the vessels and utensils here. Glassware is so thin and amazing. Except for Margarita in brass flower, the taste of brass is definitely distinctive, and I guess it's not what you want to feel in your mouth. The taste of margarita espuma itself is great, though. The pollen in this cocktail is a nice touch.
And second minus for me is “bollo minero” which serves with highly expensive caviar on the top. Due to the shape of this bun and approach of service, it just fell on the side, and the caviar turned out on a lump of coal. I believe a restaurant like that could serve it again in this scenario, but in my case, they didn't.
My top of the night is “Bonito”, which is some sort of fish with nice big pieces of flesh with an amazing sauce. And “pato azulon” which is ideal cooked duck rose, and terrine of wild birds. Gelato from sheep’s milk also is just blowminding.
The wine pairing is nice, as I understood there are only drinks from the Leon region, which is kinda cool. My top here is Rose. The sommelier has tried to explain to me all of the nuances despite that my Spanish understanding is pretty primitive.
English for this moment is not used here. Only the chef served me one of the dishes and presented to me it in English. For which special thanks.
I have spent time here with great pleasure and interest. Hope to return here in 10 years or so and try a new...
Read moreFuimos a comer en pareja a este restaurante. Hay que decir que el comedor es muy bonito y elegante, y que el servicio del personal es muy bueno. Intentan estar pendiente en todo momento aunque a veces tengas que esperar un buen rato a que te rellenen la copa. Los platos se ven que son elaborados y tienen muy buena presentación tanto de los alimentos como de la propia vajilla, pero sinceramente no hubo ni un solo plato que nos emocionara. En realidad eran bastante decepcionantes, la mayoría carentes de sabor y los que tenían un mínimo gusto eran sabores muy planos y nada novedosos. Te sirven un plato de escabeche donde el propio escabeche se come el resto y sólo sabe a eso, pero es que el siguiente plato que es diferente lo vuelven a poner con escabeche y el sabor sigue siendo el mismo ( uno vale, pero dos ....). Igual que con los postres. De tres postres dos de ellos son simplemente un helado.... Diferente sabor mismo plato y por supuesto nada original. Pero lo más grave de toda la comida fue cuando nos sirvieron unos raviolis de perdiz desmigada y tenían muchísimos restos de huesos e incluso un pedazo de perdigón. Esto es totalmente indefendible en un restaurante con una estrella Michelin. Lo dicho, el menú no estuvo a la altura y fue...
