Whilst there had been no disaster courses, I felt there had been a lackluster performance in the main segment of the meal compared to the amuse bouches. That was however rectified with the tender and suckling Iberian suckling pig blanquette that had been cooked at 63°C over 30 hours, retaining a beautifully crispy crackling coating. Joan Roca went further to match his take on the cochinillo (suckling pig) with a deconstructed aroma of riesling wine using sweet mango terrine, melon, beetroot, beetroot purée, black garlic, onion and slightly tart orange concentrate. This was much more like it. Clever piece of cooking indeed.

No point going there when being hungry...
This is a restaurant for a small group of people with deep wallets and fancy taste.

you're right about not going there if you're hungry..but you doesn't necessarily have to be loaded for fancy taste. actually, i know quite a few places that serves similar food for a reasonable [email protected] it's not..i've been a chef all my life and i can tell how hard it is to simply come up with an new idea and how fucking hard it is to actually make what you've been thinking of..do you have any idea of how much time the chef had to spend at work to realise these dishes?...A LOT!! ( we barely have a life.it's no easy job)...that kind of cuisine is about experiences,discovering new tastes and opening your mind to other cultures...
