Great experience, is it art or is it food?! Delicious nonetheless and worth a shot if you're in the area. I went during an off hour Sunday at lunch

An absolutely mind blowing experience from start to finish. This restaurant is creating art and theater with food. It is an experience to eat there.

We entered and we're brought to a table set up showing 2 different fish and the spice combinations and tasted the most delicious pieces of fish. Then we were seated at our table and the adventure began. We got 1 small course before choosing our menu. We were shown an iPad and asked to choose but the iPad doesn't really tell you much about what you will be getting so it's mostly a surprise. They're very conscious of any allergies though.

There are currently 3 tasting menu options priced at 85, 120, and 150 eur for 8, 10, and 12 courses. There is also a beverage pairing option or you can order wine by the bottle or by the glass. We were surprised that didn't have more suggestions for us to pair glasses of wine and didn't have us taste the wine when we ordered it but that was really our only complaint. We opted for 10 and were satisfied with the amount of food. The dishes are small but they are spaced out well and there are someone's multiple parts to one dish. We also kept getting more bread to soak up all the delicious sauces. The meal took about 3 hours.

The ambiance is lovely. Each dish is presented with such care and explained in detail, then sometimes oil is lovingly brushed on a piece of tuna with a bundle of rosemary, or creme fraiche is artfully dolloped on a ragout made of fish and then caviar is carefully tweezed on. There are swirls of chicken juice and other oils in dishes like you would find in trendy latte art. The food is creative and inventive and expands the boundaries of what you think seafood can taste like. They make Bolognese out of razor clams and uni, transform kombu seaweed into carbonara, and treat beets like a steak. The menu is very heavy on seafood with a meet course and a mini dinner of desserts at the end (appetizer, main, and dessert dessert).

We had such a wonderful time. Highly recommend if you are into molecular gastronomy, love food and are willing to try anything. This is a 2 Michelin star experience (and priced as such) but worth it in my opinion.
