Curiosity drove me to this new Mediterranean restaurant + patisserie inside the Nali Patio, the building hosting Spanish and Latin-American fare on its 6 floors.
The food experience was not memorable: you'll not get sick, but you will not think "oh, let me come back tomorrow". Too much garlic in the eggplant pure' and on the side grilled vegetables, the ribeye good but too fatty, the chocolate mousse disappointing in its "coffee sabayon" part. Garlic is out-of-fashion and anybody can cook a ribeye, but it must have something to differentiate it from wherever else you could eat it.
What is really unsettling is the environment around: very cold, very white, with velvety thrones instead of chairs - the pink ones actually make you feel like Barbie in her magic world. It doesn't look like a restaurant, but more like a tea-room. An overpriced tea-room.
The question that actually comes to mind is: what will be next in this space in the next... 2 months?
