A Flavorful Journey Around the World – A Memorable Dining Experience

Dining at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. The shareable plates concept for groups of four made the experience feel warm and communal, encouraging conversation and connection over every dish.

From the very first bite, it was clear that the menu was thoughtfully crafted with global inspiration. Each plate told a story through its unique blend of flavors — from the bold richness of Indian spices and the umami depth of Asian seasonings, to the earthy warmth of Spanish ingredients and subtle touches from Kurdish cuisine. The combinations were unexpected in the best way, making each course exciting and memorable.

The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly complementing the complexity of the dishes without overpowering them. Whether you prefer a well-balanced cocktail or a glass of wine, their beverage selection had something for every palate.

What truly elevated the experience, however, was the staff. Attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, they guided us through the menu with enthusiasm and ease, adding a personal touch that made the evening feel special.

we visited the restaurant 11 months ago but the review hasn't gone up for some reason so reposting now. My wife and I had booked a table for two and when we arrived we got seated at a table of 4 with two strangers who were there for a birthday dinner. It gave us an incredibly awkward dinner experience because multiple people came to congratulate the birthday boy and leaned over our food across the table or reached over my head and behind my back to hug that guy. After the third time it really put a damper on the dinner experience for us sadly. Now to the food: We shared 3 starters: oxfile tartare, sashimi and cauliflower. None of them were particularly good or something we would order again. The sashimi was lying in a bath of cold cream that just wasn’t pleasant in our opinion. The other dishes weren’t bad but also not good, just kind of average and nothing to write home about. The main dish we tried at Magpie was Gös with lobster bisque, that was delicious and really well seasoned. Fish cooked to perfection. We finished off with 2 desserts, the sea buckthorn sorbet wasn’t smooth although tasty, it had an icy texture. The desserts were alright. Wine was...

4.5-star in my view. The white asparagus soup was creamy but not greasy, the asparagus was crunchy and very well cooked, with fried surface that added on the flavors. The Hokkaido bread was super soft and full of the aroma of dairy. When eating warm, the cheese inside was melted and the flavors were at a balance of savory and sweet. However me and my friend failed to taste the Miso that was mentioned by the waitress. The pork chop was tender and juicy, even the pork fat parts were perfectly cooked, that they were crispy on the surface and soft inside. The pork meat odor was properly removed, and the paired grilled potatoes were outstanding in texture. The basque cheesecake was not overwhelmingly sweet, which was to my liking; and the texture was perfectly fluffy. The paired homemade rhubarb jam added acidity and neutralized the milky flavors of the dessert. The tables were extremely close to each other, at first glance of our seating, we thought we were going to share the same table with...
