A fantastic lunch last year at @tohqa_ near Cadiz. This is a beautiful spot to enjoy a long lunch in the open courtyard. Chef @edu__perez_ presents a tasting menu of dishes cooked mainly over charcoal from his small kitchen overlooking the courtyard. While also keeping one eye on the vinyl playing out all afternoon. I can’t wait to go back.

Next stop in Spain was a little takeover of ⭐️ Bagá @bagajaen in the city of Jaén. Not much to say really other than it was sublime. A fun intimate experience with friends being cooked a menu of contemporary Mediterranean cuisine by chef @sanchez_jaen Pedro Sánchez and his small team. It felt more like a dinner party in someone’s home than a restaurant visit. Highly recommended.

“Noor immerses itself in the gastronomy and culture of its seasons to live in them each of the centuries of existence of Al-Ándalus. The diner can enjoy the evolution of the Andalusian legacy, century by century, in this new and only interpretation, recognizable today in Andalusian cuisine.”
So you are eating an historical interpretation of a very old cuisine. Paco Morales @pacomoraleschef sticks strictly to what was or wasn’t available at the time in terms of ingredients with potatoes, tomatoes, cocoa not featuring in the early menus as in this historical context they had yet to arrive from the New World.

Our next stop during my March/April tour was to Andalusia, but I couldn’t help but shoehorn in a visit to Quique Dacosta’s Llisa Negra in Valencia. Somehow, on the promise of some excellent seafood and one of the world’s best cheesecakes, I managed to persuade my friends that the best way to get from Lech in Austria to Andalusia was in-fact to drive to Munich, fly to Barcelona, train to Valencia and finally fly to Seville 🤷🏼🙄
Anyway, timing was glorious, a late morning train got us to lunch as the doors were opening and an early evening flight meant we had time to enjoy a long lingering lunch and snaffle our way through as many of the gems on the menu as possible.
I would say that it was all very good apart from perhaps the cheesecake which was definitely not as good as the last time I was there. The last time I was there was with Margaret Lam and Steve Plotnicki , so I always try to factor in that a meal in their company will usually be of an elevated nature with a very much more ‘eager to please’ vibe coming from the kitchen. I have included a video of that cheesecake at the end for comparison for all the cheesecake geekery out there 🤓
I will maybe put the cheesecake down to it possibly having been put in the fridge at the end of lunch service and the three of us then catching them slightly off guard by ordering a whole one to ourselves 😬
All very good though and highly recommended should you be in the area.

(March 22)
In an ideal world I would have the superpower to relocate chefs & restaurants at my will. So César Ramirez would suddenly find himself cooking at a counter in my Mum’s second bedroom in Solihull, my favourite struggling misunderstood chefs would be gently relocated to more ‘money no object’ locales, not you understand completely removing them from their terroir, but say Dina would now be on the shores of lake Garda rather than buried in an urban backwater.
It seems that someone has already beaten me to it & taken one of my favourite restaurants on the planet, Frantzén, & gently placed it, or something very like it, in the stunningly beautiful mountains of the Austrian Alps in the ski resort of Lech. The term ‘an Alpine Frantzén’ has been used to refer to Rote Wand Chef’s Table & I think it is well earned. To be clear, the term is being used in an incredibly complimentary way & is not implying any copycat-ing.
This meal was another incredible highlight of our March/April tour. We stayed for two nights in the beautiful Rote Wand Gourmet hotel and enjoyed meals at Klösterle, Rote Wand Stube the more casual offering at the hotel & of course the Chef’s Table restaurant where chef @maxnatmessnig & partner @_bekahroberts gave a masterclass in hospitality & cooking. The meal started with a parade of delicious snacks that we enjoyed in the downstairs small open kitchen. Then the ingredients of the evening are presented, a la Frantzén & just about every other restaurant on the planet now, before heading up to a horseshoe counter very much like that at Frantzén.
This was a fantastic meal that I would gladly jump on a plane to experience again. I recommend that you visit Rote Wand even though Max has now moved on. I urge you to visit him in Munich at @alois_restaurant_dallmayr This was a strong two star meal in my opinion and surely stars await him in Munich

A highlight of my March/April (22) tour was definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @schloss_schauenstein , @andreas_caminada_schauenstein Andreas Caminada’s flagship restaurant located in the beautiful castle along with fantastic rooms across at Casa Caminada. I was so glad to finally bag this reservation and find three suitably motivated comrades to join me. A must visit restaurant and worth a long drive to get to. Also easy to hit the excellent Memories in Bad Ragaz while in the area.
