That pigeon was scary. Totally raw!!! The waiter couldn't even cut through easily on the inside because it was so rubbery and undercooked. The flesh hadn't even firmed up. BARF!!!
I worked as a cdp at a one michelin restuarant in sweden and we had apart from cooking the food, go out and present the food witch was scary and fun as hell at the same time. Im really impressed with the waiting staff here. They really have a lot to remember and i would certainly fuck up alot of those presentations
I just discovered your channel today and I'm binge watching everything, thanks a lot for all the discoveries, to be able to see all these greats dishes is really a blessing (can't wait to taste them tho)
It would be hillarious if you uploaded a mcdonalds review video that an emplyoee,you set up narrates the whole menu 😂 just a mc donalds video inside of all these fancy restraunts
looks like 19 ultra flavour bombs.. my pet peeve about one is having those onion skins as decorations hahah.. if it's not meant to be eaten, don't put put on the same plate as the edible food..
I find the dishes excellently prepared but didn't you feel the waiters were a bit tedious and slow? I hear so many "eh uh ehms". A better prepared announcement and explanation of a dish would create less awkward time at the table..
I’ve been to ABaC few years ago. This is the only Michelin restaurant that I vividly remember all dishes. It wasn’t about food, it was a performance. The dishes are extremely small and support the idea that you need only first bite to appreciate the food. Meanwhile at the end I was full in spite of a small sizes.
crazy how different the level is between a 3* restaurant in France and all other countries. the excellence and expectations are much higher in France sadly I must say... however, this ABaC looks great
Just wondering,...... If the floor staff, would ever come back after the customer had eaten the dish, and interacted with them and let them guess what they had just eaten, just asking.
Went here last September and was the biggest disappointed I have ever experienced in a restaurant never mind a supposed 3 star restaurant (definitely not 3 stars) the menu was way too long, I couldn't remember anything I tasted the day after. There's was no concept or story to the menu either just random plates that didn't taste amazing. The staff were really strange, forcing the service out and felt completely rushed.. I understand this was through covid but you should have closed instead of pretending to be 3 star without your head chef jodi cruz. Felt more like there was a bunch of students in the kitchen cooking while all the big dogs where away. Honestly I would only give it a one star and thats being generous as iv been in a lot better one stars that this supposed 3 star.
Everything looks fabulous, and for once, I think that this tasting menu is really substantial and filling. My experience with authentic Spanish cooking was when I visited Vigo during my stint as a PhD student in Europe. I really liked the food. Nothing as fancy as this, of course, but very tasty indeed. Btw, that waitress is cute! She doesn't look Latina. She looks more Southeast Asian to me. Malaysian? Indonesian?

This modern haute approach really should curtail the monologue. In these spots, FOH is regarded as significant as BOH, and they’re being overbearing with the info to prove their worth. A perfect FOH is never seen yet will pick up a dropped fork within five seconds. This is too much.
When you have to explain a dish and how to eat it,, you can brace yourself for a lot of nonsense on the plate. Don't eat the onion peels sums up this lunch.
@@LMW87MMAnope. The one golden rule you're taught about learning haute cuisine is "never explain or tell the customer how to eat" and never put anything that is not going to be eaten on the plate. Never.
Actually you can compare a 2 michelin star dish to a David by Donatello and a 3 michelin star dish to a Guernica by Picasso. Everyone may appreciate the David why only a few can understand Guernica wasn't drawn by a John Doe high on LSD. And that wasn't a compliment. Appreciate the effort but I will never understand why the 3 stars restaurants exist, in the 1st place.
Did they really say piegon? Forgive my ignorance, but is that fine dining? To be that is like serving a rat. Also, it didn't look cooked enough for poultry.
The worst 3 star michelin ever, who in their right mind put the resembles of larvae on a plate? And the next dish the only thing remains in one's mind is the black af fish carcass. Many 1 star michelin places outperform this overpriced shithole.
That pigeon was scary.

Agreed, that pigeon looked gross and I wouldn't want to eat it.

That pigeon is RAW
farm pigeon
The prawn reveal was cool.
They must have a brigade of dishwashers !
Ate here around 4 years ago. Amazing meal. I was pretty full from all the dishes as well. The shrimp head blew my mind.
Amazing!
so many nice dishes. a scrumptious sensation to watch you eat the tasting menu.
Many many thanks

Thanks 😊 love it heard you’re enjoy it.
Isn't it fantastic?
@@davidb9059 yes is fantastic
Pedestrian metamorphosis dish. Kids lunchbox decor.
The freshest thing in this video was that pigeon
Nice menu! I few very interesting dishes!
Thanks for visiting

Amazing!
Loved the content. Great video
Looks stunning
Watch The Inn at Little Washington! Ate there a year ago and what an experience. 3 star Michelin. Such a treat!😊
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
For those who are saying this is a bad experience. Because ur meal is being explained well u can request them not to do that.
of course you can tell them you want enjoy ur meal without explained story
looks like 19 ultra flavour bombs.. my pet peeve about one is having those onion skins as decorations hahah.. if it's not meant to be eaten, don't put put on the same plate as the edible food..
I wholeheartedly agree, and if you can't distinguish what is edible on the plate, something has gone wrong.
would be interesting to hear your opinion on each dish, were they good/bad and why?
thanks for the advice, I still on travelling, I will considering to do it in CC subtitles when I have free time.
yes, that is an excellent idea. i have no idea what the dishes taste like.
me watching these videos eating reheated pizza knowing I wont ever experience this
O c'mon ur not missing out much 😆
nice
I have been there, amazing experience 😍🙏
I want all of this.
abac for me the best one in the world !!! shared with quique da costa !!!!
Great video but definitely needs some commentary/comments! :)
I find the dishes excellently prepared but didn't you feel the waiters were a bit tedious and slow? I hear so many "eh uh ehms". A better prepared announcement and explanation of a dish would create less awkward time at the table..
Give them a break. Their explanation isn't in their first language.
yeah thats the language barrier.

The dishes are extremely small and support the idea that you need only first bite to appreciate the food. Meanwhile at the end I was full in spite of a small sizes.
As nice as it is to see the presentation of the dishes by the staff, it would be better if you gave some input to your impressions of the dish.
Great suggestion!
Amazing video thanks for sharing! What camera do you use ?
Sony and Canon
crazy how different the level is between a 3* restaurant in France and all other countries. the excellence and expectations are much higher in France sadly I must say... however, this ABaC looks great
Thoughts?
Some dishes look amazing but it definitely looks like the meal consists of peaks and troughs.
Hello. Thanks for sharing. How long does a complete sitting take?
2-3 hours
@@GourmetBGourmet. Ok. Thanks.
Should be called the Japanese box...Chinese do not culturally eat eel or Yakitori sauce
chinese uses eel extensively in guangdong, yakitori sauce is basically soy and sweet wine reduction
honestly the whole menu seemed to lack focus. The dishes looked mostly nice but I'm not sure what the angle is.
Just wondering,...... If the floor staff, would ever come back after the customer had eaten the dish, and interacted with them and let them guess what they had just eaten, just asking.
Why would you want someone talking in front of food that you're going to eat ?
Precious
Do they have to talk when they serve?
3 GOODYEAR.
Considering the numebr of dishes, were all of them on the the same level ?
all delicious
cooking plates can't be little: it's difficult to wash in wash machines

did you still tip 20%,?
@@bconni2 obligatory tipping is a thing from USA.
Dont tip and dont give a shit
that has to be the most confident wait staff i've ever seen
The waitress said “uuhh” too much even though she seemed to know exactly what she wanted to say.
yet another meal I could never eat. Why do they want to take the grossest things and make meals out of them at these fancy place?
What equipment do you use for shooting your videos?
Especially the shots where you’re using both hands.
Love the channel! Please visit New York ✌🏽
I just both hands, thanks. definitely we will go to New York

i just noticed ,, the wait staff handle this beautiful food are not so finesse .. just an observation
Best restaurant in Spain it’s Asador Etxebarri, in Basque Country 👍🏻
someone who actually knows :)
El mejor es lo que cocina mi madre. Como eso no hay nada!! Ummm rico, rico...

Do these meals include the price of wine ?
Not included wine, we paid a bottle of wine
Am I correct thinking it was a chef sample menu ?

Maybe this type of place isn’t for you. Part of the charm of the place is the story, the theatre, the service.
@@LMW87MMAnope. The one golden rule you're taught about learning haute cuisine is "never explain or tell the customer how to eat" and never put anything that is not going to be eaten on the plate. Never.
Im not a big fan of trying to make food into artwork. It almost doesnt look like food anymore. Its not very appealing to eat.
Was there three years ago, not that expensive tho😮
The waiter had dirty finger nails…😑😮 1:24
absolutely no disrespect to the floor staff.
Enserio..un cebollero para trichar...

22:22 fail!
19 courses? THAT's RIDICULOUS. By 5 or 6 courses, your tongue is already anesthetized from the fine nuances of flavor. What a RIP OFF!
Why do people enjoy this garbage? Just because it costs more/is rated higher, does not mean it deserves it. This looked horrible.
Ther are more diches than food...maby for that prize you can take all the servies home...
00:40 for real?
what your meaning for real? you mean the drink?
@@GourmetBGourmet 3 michelin stars and he catches the glass from the top with his bare hands... very in-elegant and not hygienic
Meanwhile back in the kitchen: anybody want to go get some KFC or McDonald's for lunch? I'm buying. This crap we surve is gross
Yeah real gross 🙄, you’d rather a battery farm chicken cooked in dirty old oil? Classy
Looks like crap. The girl only said umm a hundred times. I’m sure they were still hungry lol 😝 😅😊
This one was not applealing to me at all.
Alcohol is not good
Did they really say piegon? Forgive my ignorance, but is that fine dining? To be that is like serving a rat. Also, it didn't look cooked enough for poultry.
Yes, pigeon is sometimes served in fine dining restaurants, and even though it's a bird, it's red when cooked. It's actually very good!
Yes it is part of fine dining i had it several times 😊
Dollar menu lol
Best in Spain? No. An excellent restaurant, yes, but ABaC isn't as good as DixerXO or El Cellar de Can Roca.
Hahahaha... instead u eat well. They're explain every food they serve in ur table....

i dont wnt to pay $500 to be waited on by non-spanish
Extremely pretentious. Wouldn't eat there even if I got paid to do it.
I went there this place sucked definately doesnt deserve 3 stars
Awful and too long too much ugly plates plain glasses weird and so overstated worst one so far I do enjoy the other videos
thanks
