Bjorn Frantzen received his 3rd Michelin star about a month before I dined there. This was after he closed and relocated his restaurant in 2017 to what he describes as, "The old Frantzen times 10." Every detail of the restaurant is designed to enhance the overall experience. Enter a private elevator that plays music at the push of a button, a beautiful lounge area for champagne and appetizers, and a rooftop terrace where you can smoke Cuban cigars. In the main dining area, guests are seated at a kitchen counter that surrounds the open fire kitchen. The dining area is essentially the kitchen where you get to watch the culinary show unfold. Frantzen can be described as Nordic cuisine with Japanese influences. I've never had a tasting menu in which every course was a home run. Before I knew it, 7 hours had flown by. It is only a matter of time before Frantzen is competing for the top spot at the World's 50 Best List. Less

So called collaboration dinner between DiverXo and Alinea in Madrid. The whole "collaboration" turned out to be two slightly shortened tasting menu in separate locations. So the dinners who started at DiverXo went through the entire meal and around 11pm were escorted across the street into the Alinea pop up location and restarted a second meal with cocktails.
Anyway, in a direct manu a manu Grant Achatz won hands down.
