Absolutely fantastic food and cocktails here. One of the best meals I had on this trip to Spain…read more It's basically a fusion of a Thai and Valencian cuisines in a modern setting on the busy Gran Via.
Service was great all around. Attractive, friendly, and competent people. I started with the absolutely delicious Ping Pong cocktail, a mix of lychee and passion fruit purées with gin. Wow was that a great drink! I had two.
Next I started with three Guillardeaux oysters. They were so plump and sweet. Astounding, actually. I could have made a meal of these if not so expensive (€3.50 each). I also tried a small croquette of Roquefort and spinach that was everything a croquette should be.
Next up was an amazing Thai fish cake. It was crunchy and tender and mildly spicy with a nice hit of fresh coriander. It was a starter that I was sad to see disappear so quickly. It's a taste I want to experience again.
My main course was a tiradito of local seafood. It's basically a ceviche but they amped up the flavor with a Thai-inspired marinade. The shellfish were amazingly sweet and tender and played well with that sauce. A very generous portion, too.
I finished with dessert, a small disc of cheesecake topped with both a caramel sauce and berry purée. Neither was overly sweet. It was surrounded by beautiful chopped, toasted hazelnuts and a crunch derived from coffee. The entire dish worked beautifully.
All of this came to €65! Very good value. Whoever is in the kitchen is seriously talented. This place is a winner. Go, eat like Thai royalty, and enjoy!
