Have a good week.

It looks like a well thought-out dinner with wonderfully arranged plates. Looks worth a visit.I completely agree with you on the blindfolded experience. It would be a fun gimmick but I'd rather experience the exceptional creations that each dish often is!- Allan What a restaurant, and review naturally.

I completely agree with you on the blindfolded experience. It would be a fun gimmick but I’d rather experience the exceptional creations that each dish often is!

Thank so much for your kind words, Yin!

You are spot on – in fact it was a little too much for what I could comprehend.

Don’t think it’s a matter of training… ;-) when thinking you and me.

Certainly sounds like an incredible bombardment of the senses - and aside from satiety of the stomach, when the dishes seem so complex and multilayered; it does make me wonder how much new information my brain can take before it starts to feel overloaded?! Clearly I need more training .... ;) Ah – another fab review means I have the pleasure of more armchair dining with Trine!

Food Snob, thanks for stopping by!

Hej Lars!
Ah, good to know – have you written about Dos Chielos?

Thanks so much, Alex. I’ve checked the menu but it doesn’t say anything about sepia. Only: “black truffle,braised woodcock leaver (liver?) and black truffle cavoar with wild winter herbs”.

Michael,

Hej Daniel
Mange tak for din hilsen! El Poblet er **.

I'm really surprised that only 1 dish is similar to my meal last year (albeit, they were during different seasons) - I really want to get on a plane right now!

The photos are very appealing. I understand your point about the fog etc, but a bit of trompe l'oeil is part of modern cuisine. I think it worked for you here in the "truffle." Too bad that the sea urchin course had a pairing that didn't work. It reminds me of the lobster/beet root pairing which was the only one that did not work for me at noma. Bests, Michael Trine,
