I know that ABaC had some mixed reviews on this subreddit, but I was very pleased with my vegetarian lunch today.
The tasting menu is very long (15 courses) and was overall excellent.
Amongst the best dishes:
– the bloody mary is incredible. It’s a non alcoholic version of the cocktail with clarified tomato juice and it’s fabulous.
– the dried macaroni is one of the signature dish of the restaurant and was very good. However, the star of this dish is the green gazpacho that came with and which was excellent.
– the creamy roasted pumpkin was also very nice with a lot of different textures and flavours.
– the vegetables tempura were incredibly good and addictive.
The 2 dishes that I didn’t like were the artichoke dish (way too strong flavour, almost rancid that I didn’t like) and the cabbage escudella that was simply not my taste.
Service was excellent and effective. Really up to the standards of a 3 stars Michelin restaurant.
Finally, I was a little bit reluctant to go to this lunch as I was disappointed 2 years ago by the same vegetarian menu (that was much more focused on the tomatoes, up to the point that it was too much), but have to admit that I was very pleased by this meal.
The wines we pick (one priorat and one sancerre) were excellent, even if we almost all agreed that the sancerre was superior.
The non vegetarian tasting menu was also very appreciated by my colleagues and clients.
Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions !
