The restaurant has great ambience and gorgeous seaview. The service was fine. Everything is up to 3 Michelin star standards - until we got to the food. We haven't had such horrible food even at a no star restaurant. Although we always get the tasting menu when we go to a nice restaurant, we decided to just have the Chef du Menu because we were not so sure about the food when we saw the menu.
The pre-appertizer snacks were nothing special, mini hamburgers with spinach/ cauliflower that are bland and uninspiring.
The bread was luke warm. Not bad, but then you can easily get similar quality stuff from Maxim too.
The starter, a ravioli with some chewy stuff that has no taste. The bean paste/soup that covers it reminded my husband of the canned beans he had when he was little. You know, the cheap stuff that poor people ate coz it was filling and nutritious. It was like Jamie Oliver serving baked beans in his restaurant, you just don't get what he was thinking.
The second course was something that looked like the aforementioned ravioli. it had poached egg, salmon, cod, red peppers and a bunch of other stuff that simply just don't go together. The poached egg completely ruined our appetite.
Then came the veal steak with asparagus mouse and mushroom pie. The veal was fine at first, but then the more we ate, the more it felt dry. I had trouble swallowing it and gave up on the second piece. I don't know what to say about the mushroom pie and the asparagus mouse. They just tasted so weird that I gave them all to my husband, who didn't mind them as much.
Then came the disgusting pre-dessert and dessert. My husband surmised at this point that perhaps the chef was ill on the day.
This is the first time i've ever left so much food on my plate in a michelin star restaurant. I might have had issues with some fine dining experience in the past, but the food was always at least acceptable. I was brought up with the firm belief that one should not waste food; however, the chef had already wasted the food, my eating it couldn't have saved it.
