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
