In addition, we were invited to get into the Fat Duck spirit in 2007, when we put some headphones in our ears in which the only sound emitted was that of the sea.

Simple, enjoyable, and effective!<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying the desserts was a Tawny Quinta da Vacaria, 20 Years Old, much more interesting than its table counterparts to do justice to the history of the Quinta. Its notes of caramel, coffee, spices, and dried fruits work in full with the sweets served.<\/p>\n<p>A positive note for the service, entirely made of women, executed with technique and precision combined with an exceptionally relaxed conversation, ideal for a space where there is so much interaction between the room and the diner.

These days it\u2019s easy to try his cuisine ( he signs several consultancies, from fine dining to the most traditional cuisine) but not so much what comes out of his hands. So it\u2019s always nice to see him present his creations in a chef\u2019s jacket. As for Blind, its claim to the much-desired star is clear \u2013 if we knew a checklist on \u201cwhat to do\u201d or \u201cwhat not to do\u201d, it would undoubtedly have a large number of marks at the time of the evaluation, but I wouldn\u2019t say that its moment has already. A restaurant with no big ups and downs, no major mistakes, and that seems perfect for those looking to introduce themselves to the world of fine dining, with fun moments of interaction and challenge that help to \u201cbreak the ice\u201d that we can often feel in this kind of dining. The tasting menu of 10 or 12 moments varies between 50 of the chef\u2019s creations, depending on the seasonality of the products, which is why we promise to accompany you on other trips.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, just one more note about the Natura Calcariu 2016: it is a tremendous Portuguese white, so if you\u2019re lucky enough to come across it, be sure to try it.
