Mugaritz

The dishes were arty and playful, paired with a spectacular wine list. However, being ranked 22 Best Restaurant in the World, I expected more.  Described as “the conventional rules of gastronomy are cast aside to make way for boundary-less eating: a three-hour journey into a world that might be at times uncomfortable, often emotional and sometimes outright weird, but you won’t come away unmoved by it”.   Never was I uncomfortable, emotional or moved.  Maybe I wasn’t in the right set-of-mind.  The restaurant does close from January to April every year for a creative sabbatical the restaurant’s R&D team works on the next season’s menu. Hence the arty flair!!
