My next stop was to Stockholm, and to my favourite seat in my favourite restaurant on the planet, ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @restaurantfrantzen (equal 1st with @restaurantalchemist Copenhagen. 😘 @rasmusmunkalchemist ) It’s really like coming home when you visit Frantzén, the hospitality is that good. It feels like I’m eating at a friends house. @carl_frosterud was the perfect host as ever. I’ve dined solo here, brought big groups of global diners here, friends and my family and Carl always judges the service and hospitality perfectly. I truly think he’s the best in the business.
And of course the food is sublime. I was sorry to discover while talking to chef Marcus Jernmark that he’ll be heading to Beverly Hills soon to open up his own project. I mean I’m happy for him but I’ll miss his cooking in Stockholm although I am certain that with the incredibly solid team they have at Frantzén that they will only continue to operate at the top of their game.
As I said, along with Alchemist, this is my top recommendation in Europe. Can’t wait to go back in October with some of the UK’s finest chefs. Looking forward to it @cheftonyparkin @jeremychanikoyi @edoardopellicano @rabyhunt @theguseva @bigtime_makin_it_nice @cheflukefrench

Another visit to the incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️ DiverXO in Madrid. As always the level of creativity here is astounding, with most of the dishes being different from my last visit just a couple of months prior. It’s great to see @dabizdiverxo and the team climbing higher and higher on the OAD best restaurants list. Should be top 10 in my opinion.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at Restaurante Sacha at Sacha
Another favourite stop in Madrid is restaurant Sacha. If chef and fantastic host Sacha Hormaechea says to you not to worry about ordering he’ll just cook for you then you know it’s your lucky day. Even better when he picks your wine. It was a shame I was dining solo this time as I think a lot of the dishes here are best shared, from previous experiences.... More
Another favourite stop in Madrid is restaurant Sacha. If chef and fantastic host Sacha Hormaechea says to you not to worry about ordering he’ll just cook for you then you know it’s your lucky day. Even better when he picks your wine. It was a shame I was dining solo this time as I think a lot of the dishes here are best shared, from previous experiences. But it was still a fantastic lunch and I can’t wait to go back. It’s predominantly a locals place and tough to book normally but if you bag a seat you’ll be welcomed with socially distanced open arms. I think Sacha is more hosting than cooking these days and it was a real treat to have one of the chefs Lucho appear from the kitchen and offer to show me his favourite local bar after service. Chefs.....we always know the best bars 😬

After Barcelona the next stop on this three week three city tour was Madrid and the first meal was very special indeed, a private dinner at a restaurant that was an absolute highlight of 2020 for me so I was incredibly happy to go back.
Chef Jorge Muñoz very kindly offered to cook for twelve of us privately.
The meal was stunning. Purely ingredient focused and packing every possible ounce of flavour into each dish. Mind blowing really when you consider that Jorge works that kitchen on his own.
The croquetta is the best I’ve ever tasted and the river lamprey, a fish that I’ve never tried before, was a revelation.
Together with Diver XO this is now firmly at the top of my list of restaurants to book when planning a trip to Madrid.
@jorgemunozchef has since moved on but I am very excited for his next project.

- Neil A. Chef added a new meal Dinner at Estimar at Estimar Madrid
Lunch at Rafa Zafra’s Madrid outpost of Estimar. Maybe not as excellent as Barcelona where Rafa usually cooks, but still excellent non the less. Top tip, pre order the spider crab and angulas ‘ramen’, it’s incredible.....but bring your credit card 💸💸

Lunch at ⭐️ Alkimia in Barcelona. One of my favourite places to eat in the city. It was an interesting meal this time as I was enjoying the tasting menu, but as I was eating with my friend Alejandro who pretty much lives in this restaurant, he was ordering ‘off menu’ A La Carte. So I had the best of both worlds being able to taste both the intricate plates and also the more traditional side of Jordi Vila’s cooking. It was a fantastic lunch but I would say that having had more than a couple of visits here where I can still remember some of the dishes in the tasting menu, this time I was a little envious of what my companions were eating (although they very generously let me taste). Still one of my must visit restaurants when in Barcelona.

Lunch at ⭐️⭐️ @hermanostorres Cocina Hermanos Torres a couple of weeks ago. This was my second visit here and much like my first it was excellent. The one thing I love about the place is the dining room which is spectacular (as is the food) A large open central kitchen surrounded on all sides by diners. It could be something out of a set for Final Table or any other US tv cooking competition show.
