Viajante. I wished to visit here so long.
This great restaurant by Nuno Mendes who also leads The Corner Room where I visited last month.
Its kitchen was so open that It looked like the stage of his special theater.
かなりオープン形式なキッチンは、まるで彼の特別舞台のよう。
Everyone has some dishes or flavors you would never forget,
but his creation was something that soaks you more and more after finished,
and keeps coming back to your mind a day after, and a week after...
It was the flavor of memory.
忘れられない味というのは誰にでもありますが、
彼の作品は、食べ終わった後にじわじわと染み込んで
翌日も、その翌日もそのことばかり考えてしまう…
そんな記憶する味なのでありました。
It named goose barnacles because people one believed that they were eggs of geese.
mysterious.
これが噂のフジツボ科、エボシガイ。
You don't think often the dishes tasting yeast.

The milk jelly on top connected all together.
The yolk was slow-cooked on top of olive oil for 70C.
loved it.
Until the end I could not understand what tripe of cod look like,
but its texture was so creamy and gelatinous,
plus the cod meat was almost uncooked and had amazing
as well with the previous dish, I was flying to the sky...
鱈の胃袋?!と最後までハテナが抜けませんでしたが、
ゼラチン質に似たまったり感と、極めて生に近い鱈肉の食感が素晴らしく
前の皿に続き昇天しそう。
I'd never known cucumber could taste so fruity.
きゅうりがこんなに果実味のあるものなんて。
Great match with caramelized dry beets and crumbled dark chocolate.
The first few bites were full of earthy & muddy characteristics coming from beets,
yet more you tastes, it became more refined and clean flavors.
how wonder-full.
I will come visit its bar next time.
つぎはバーに来よう。
