Nearly missed this lunch due to the black rain signal. Service was great there and the menu was introduced carefully. The lunch here allows you to have a free combination of 3 to 5 courses (1 main). So you can have 4 starters and 1 main if you don't prefer sweets. Despite my love for dessert and temptation to order 4 desserts, their starters seemed very attractive as well so I ordered 2 starters, 1 main and 2 desserts.The amuse bouche was really great already, with my favorite being the wasabi c
The amuse bouche was really great already, with my favorite being the wasabi cream, being sweet with a spicy aroma.
The sour dough bread was warm and soft. However, after my first to second piece, the first course came.
The cromesquis was full of fillings and the tarty and aromatic sauce from the tomato and tarragon was really appetizing.
There seems to be a bit of delay between the first course and second course. I wasn't in a hurry but the bread has cooled down a bit already so it was not as great as it was first served. If they could serve the first course a bit later then I could have enjoyed their sourdough at its best.
I cannot believe this second course is also called a starter. Most places would have put this as a main as the pasta. The tagliolini was al dente. The sea urchin was sweet and the sauce was just enough to cover every part of the pasta without sogging it.
For the main, I chose the sea bass. You can say it is a sea food in a bowl. The strong flavor of the razor clam emulsion matched the light flavor of the sea bass and their flavors were complemented by the mild sweetness of the zucchini on top.
I ordered 2 desserts and the first one was amazing. Each of the 3 components individually would have been too strong but together they were amazing. Each bite was bursting with flavors but also a bit different as sometimes there was more tartness from the Mojito granite, sometimes there was more sweetness from the melon. Strongly recommended
The next dessert was also great but I prefer the first one. The passion fruit sorbet was really pretty and the rice pudding with the mango was rich. However, compared to the first dessert, the flavors were less intense and, may I say, fun to explore.
Save some room for petit four. In theory you can try one of each but by this stage you already should be very full(I was and as everyone knows, I have a huge appetite). Their cart for petit four was already a lovely sight.
In view I was quite full, I personally preferred the fruit petit four, the strawberry petit four and lime macaron.
A cappuccino to conclude this Michelin lunch and I will definitely come again.
