Ametsa with Arzak instruction at the Halkin

Ametsa is situated in the Halkin Hotel in Knightsbridge.. it is overseen by Father and daughter team behind the multi Michelin starred Arzak restaurant in Spain

We went here on a deal from Bookatable and included a glass of pink cava and 4 courses. One word: AMAZING
Food was so inventive and lovely and the service.. well, I think the friendliest and best service I have ever had. The one thing that let the experience down one notch was the ambiance - It was rather quiet when we where there but then it was the Saturday after NYE... I would be back in a heartbeat though.. already have my eye on the full tasting menu! 

Some photos from the amazing dinner: Trio of sharing starters with "egg and chorizo", "Iberian ham on a bread pillow" and "scallops at home"




Fish and Meat courses: "Grouper with beans" and "Ox cheeks with piquillo flames"..note that the little different coloured beans on the plate are actually vegetable juices set and shaped as beans.... amazing.. and a side salad with a truffle dressing.


Ahh.. the dessert.. very theatrical: "Misty Chocolate" with a white chocolate cream in the glass - filled with smoke and then a sugar oblat with freeze dried berries.. you crack the oblat with the spoon so it falls into the dish.. the smoke wafts out and then you eat it.. :-)
