It’s not that I went out to dinner expressly to celebrate having reached one more level… it has squared like that because today I was in Madrid, but I loved the coincidence.
The problem is that I completely punctured. I knew I was not going to an orthodox Japanese restaurant, but to a casual fusion restaurant, I had read good reviews… And it was somewhere between bad and worse, in that range. Regular raw material, powerful sauces to cover. Everything was very poor… But young, handsome and modern waiters and waitresses, modern decoration, location in an area where it is more important to be seen than to eat well.
In the photos, the dishes look nice, but they were really disappointing: a dashi oyster with tuna, a butterfish tartar, two pieces of niguiri (bull and eel)? For another dish, I didn’t even take a picture 🙁
did it happen to you?

No es que haya salido a cenar expresamente para celebrar haber alcanzado un nivel más… ha cuadrado así porque hoy estaba en Madrid, pero me ha encantado la coincidencia.
El problema es que he pinchado completamente. Sabía que no iba a un japonés ortodoxo, sino a un restaurante fusión desenfadado, había leído buenas críticas… Y la cosa ha estado entre mal y peor, en esa horquilla se ha movido. Materia prima regular, salsas potentes para tapar. Todo muy regulero… Pero eso sí camareros y camareras jovenes, guapos y modernos, decoración a la última, ubicación en zona donde importa más dejarse ver que comer bien.
En las fotos, los platos son bonitos, pero de verdad que luego defraudaban: una ostra dashi con atún, un tartar de pez mantequilla, dos piezas de niguiri (de toro y de anguila)… A otro plato, ni le he hecho foto 🙁
¿Os ha pasado?

I’m so sorry that dinner was not a failure and the dishes look good. Sometimes that happens and believe me you are not the only one. It happened to us a year ago in the mountains. We went to eat at a place that had great reviews and then it turned out to be a disaster from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. And sometimes, all that glitters is not gold😟

Cuanto siento que no haya sido un fracaso esa cena y eso que los platos se ven bien. A veces pasa eso y créeme que no eres la única. Nos pasó hace un año en la sierra. Fuimos a comer a un sitio que tenía unas inmejorables reseñas y luego resultó ser un desastre desde que entramos hasta que salimos. Y es que algunas veces, no es oro todo lo que reluce😟

Even a disappointing dinner can’t spoil the joy of your new badge… congratulations again, Beatriz! You’ve truly earned it. ✨ Now make those dishes and show them how to do it right! 😁

@lanamihajlovic I thought the same thing when I read Bea’s post. I think they are ready to open their own.

Sorry to hear that your dinner was not as good as expected. I have had the same thing happen to me. We went out to a local restaurant that had recently opened. It was a beautiful setting, great reviews, wonderful service but the food let it down. It all looked nice, presented wonderfully but the ingredients just didn’t meld together at all. I do believe that the chefs were very inexperienced and trying too hard to be trendy.

Es una pena; hoy en día, con las redes sociales, alguna gente se dedica más al postureo que a dar de comer. Lo dicho, una pena.

¡Hola Sous Chef Bea! 🧑🍳✨Primero lo primero: enhorabuena otra vez por ese nuevo nivel en la Comunidad, ¡te lo has ganado plato a plato! 🙌 Aunque esta cena no haya sido lo que esperabas, el ojo crítico que estás desarrollando es otro tipo de logro: identificar desequilibrios, detectar cuando una salsa tapa más que acompaña… eso es avanzar.
Lo más valioso es que sigues compartiendo, reflexionando y construyendo conversación.PD: Yo sigo esperando con ansias la apertura del Bea Restaurant
