3 kinds of chocolate. The top halved milk chocolate were too hard, not enough crunch and didn't contribute well

The brownie itself was more pure fudge, it's almost cake batter consistency, definitely not solid. It's way too salty and smoky, it doesn't taste like a dessert at all.

However, with the olive oil and mascarpone taming the brownie it's quite interesting and much more manageable

Worth a try only if you're adventurous, and definitely not if you're a brownie lover cos this is nothing like a proper brownie

Oh this was heavenly. The banana cake has a super dense, melt in your mouth quality. That in itself is alr maybe the best I've had, but the banana cream was superb too and worked well with the chocolate

Must try

This was pretty good. The butter cake itself was not bad with dry crispy crust and savoury aroma, it's rather dense and a little dry. The camembert ice cream had but a hint of edge, and everything worked well tgt.

The butter cake centre could have been abit better but overall worth a try

Tiny portion

They said it looks abit undercooked, but the texture wasn't ideal either. There's chew from the undercooked centre, and there's neither a meaty crunch as you would expect from perfectly cooked pork, nor extreme tenderness you would exprct from "undercooking". No crispiness either

The nduja emulsion was interesting, quite flavourful. Celeraic remoulade and grilled leek flower were fine too

Passable but immensely overpriced for what it was

Sauce wasn't strong and the Brussels were not roasted till crackling and caramelised.

Meh. Somewhat crispy top, the centre wasn't fluffy enough

Smoked feta is their 7th rendition of butter, it's got almost a scarmoza flavour from the smoking process. There's supposed to be onion salt on top but can't taste that at all

U don't get what you don't ask for, I asked and they so kindly obliged ><

Charentais melon balls were super sweet from the marination, but the texture was thus diff from fresh melons too. Served w peach gum and melon juice(which wasn't too strong)

By the side there's milk ice cream made by creamier specially for them, according to their recipe and oh god it was special. Somehow very smooth, and milkier than normal. This comes w pumpkin seed oil which was quite intense

Overall pretty good, but idk if I would pay this normal price for it either

It's funny how they don't call themselves basque when they're literally using idiazabal cheese.

It's pretty decent, I don't like the slightly smoky edge from idiazabal cos I feel it doesn't mesh particularly well but maybe it's just me if this is meant to be authentic. Anyway it's not particularly strong so not a big deal. However it's a little bit dry at the side

But way too ex tho, this is abit ridiculously prized

Served w pineapple compote. Honestly it's basically blitzed pineapple but it works well

The scarmoza was rlly lovely. It's very meaty almost, esp when served beside the pineapple compote. There's crisp on the surface, it's got the most pleasant soft chew and sufficient bite, and smoky too.

The only problem is the price. Otherwise I have no reservations about branding it a must try. Still tho, I'm really glad I didn't have to share this, this was very satisfying to chew on 3 massive chunks of scarmoza

Koji marinated iberico secreto, the funk wasn't too strong and the umami is present. Quite tender too, esp because of the thin cut. I would prefer a thicker cut tho, and it wasn't crisped up enough

The braised cabbage is tough to cut, it spreads out cos the knife isn't sharp enough. Your classic sour cabbage

The black vinegar sauce was rlly good. There's umami from ckn jus, so the sourness played second fiddle

Overall pretty good, but very overpriced

The sourdough was lovely. Crispy, light, with nice bite.

I'm sure people have heard about their kombu butter. To be honest you don't taste exactly kombu but it's more of just umami. This will be a theme throughout the meal.

It was very good tho, this is a must try if you're here

This is a lot more normal. Meringue, yuzu ice, strawberry jam

Eh

Overall:
They keep telling us to play and mix around but honestly the portions are so tiny I can't rlly fathom how one would do that. Plus idg what's supposed to happen when you mix. Also the wait for the dessert was 45mins, that really overwhelmed every other experience we had, if not for that the meal would have taken 1.5hrs tops. I was more impressed by Marcy, esp for the price

Only the most annoyingly accurate, the most painfully truthful reviews.
