The restaurant offers creative and high-quality Mexican cuisine, combining innovative ingredients such as ants and Mexican spices to provide diners with a unique taste experience. Both the appetizers and main dishes are distinct in flavor, with portions that are just right, leaving one feeling satisfied.
The staff is enthusiastic and polite, conducting detailed allergy inquiries and ingredient introductions. The service is attentive and makes one feel welcomed.
In the UK, many people do not think there are good restaurants, but in reality, you really need to explore to find them. The restaurant I visited today has a Michelin star 🌟, and true to my usual habit, I wanted to try a Michelin-rated place!
As soon as I entered the restaurant, the staff warmly welcomed me, inquiring about any food allergies while confirming my willingness to try most Mexican spices and insects 🐛. With a spirit of brave experimentation, I said I was willing to try everything! Thus began this special journey through Mexican 🇲🇽 cuisine…
❤️ Appetizers
The waiter began by crushing some insects, spices, and oil in front of me, adding them into a bowl of orange soup that was placed before me. This was a spicy soup that awakened my taste buds; I must clarify that it has a bit of spiciness 🌶️, so if you're not accustomed to spicy food, think twice!
The second appetizer was made from angelica, chrysanthemums, and some peas 🫛, offering a slightly sweet and simple starter!
The third dish, calamari 🦑, was my favorite appetizer. The freshness of the calamari was excellent, and it had a very chewy texture, paired with corn 🌽 and beets to create a sweet and savory flavor!
❤️ Main Menu
The main menu starts with a series of very creative dishes, such as lamb 🐑 paired with sorrel, or crab 🦀 with pumpkin and verbena, and even apples paired with mead and ants~! Many ingredients, before trying them, I had no idea would produce such flavors. For example, I previously didn’t know that ants 🐜 were sour, but here they are used to enhance the taste, similar to lemon 🍋, making it a rather unique experience!
Although the portions of each dish are not large, the quality is excellent, so by the time you finish a little of each, you can feel quite full. Since I chose a smaller menu, if you're really hungry, you can opt for another option that would have more dishes! I recommend those who are adventurous to give it a try~
