TATLER TIPS
If you like spontaneity, this is not the place for you. Be sure to plan ahead as it is only open five days a week, for only two seatings a night, and reservations are preferred, and prepaid, online.
• Having said that, you will however experience layers of taste and texture through seasonal dishes like a delicate purée of cauliflower with an infusion of basil and lemongrass, or Spanish pork Iberico, prepared two ways with a slaw of tangy red cabbage and a beautifully-formed quenelle of rutabaga.
• Ingredients don't wage war with one another; they engage in a delicate symphony of layered flavours.
