First, the location of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the design and atmosphere in the restaurant are exceptional. Also staff (from front entrance to kitchen) is very friendly, humorous and professional. We had high expectations for a two star restaurant (also focused on plant based and one of us is vegetarian), however we were slightly dissapointed due to food. Texture, right food temperarure, unique flavours were not always there. Also one of us does not eat meat, so instead of serving outside of menu course with fish, a substitute of a botanical option from another menu was served (which was quite dissapointing in this case).
One of the best experience we had from a Michelin star restaurant. An immersive tour around the kitchen where we learned about the ingredients used and interactions with the chef. Each dish gave us little surprises, full of flavor, texture and colors. Definitely a 5 star experience.

Wonderful atmosphere, service, and of course, food. Had a great time here and the course progression and experience was part of the whole deal. I had the juice pairing which was a perfect complement to the meal.
Got to eat a course in the kitchen with the chefs and team which was a unique and special part of the experience. Obviously pricey but that’s what you sign up for on the front end.
The staff were so friendly and attentive, knowledgeable and kind with their time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a special experience.

It’s one of the best restaurants I’ve visited ever. And also the most expensive one, we spent 300 for food and 100 euro for drinks per person. We were two, so 800 euro in total. But all absolutely worth it! The food is extremely good and really high kitchen. Design of the restaurant is very elegant and modern, we appreciate it. At some point we were invited to the kitchen to eat there! It was a super nice experience to be with chefs and to see how they cook, we loved it! Their kitchen is so clean tidy and ergonomic, it’s impressive! I highly recommend this place for special occasions.
