After our first visit we thought there were a few things to iron out... Having been invited back to experience the tapas you can see why Arzak has the reputation it has built! Well done!
Ametsa’s approach is rooted in the traditions of ‘New Basque Cuisine’, pairing the earthy flavours and techniques of Spain’sBasque region with modern, surprising twists.
Exquisite dish presentation and service and ingredients cooked just right. However, food is not good enough to be Michelin star worthy or worth the price of £115 for the tasting menu. Disappointed!
Subpar service. Weak wine list. And forgettable food. Nothing like the real Arzak in Spain! It oughtta be named Ametsa with Arzak (MISGUIDED) Instruction.
Completely uninspiring and totally disappointing. Not anywhere close to the Arzak namesake. Dishes were bland, tasteless and mediocre. The wine pairing was the highlight of the tasting menu. 2/10
A unique collaboration between Elena Arzak – voted Veuve Clicquot World’s Best Female Chef in 2012 – along with her father Juan Mari Arzak, and Mikel Sorazu, Igor Zalakain and Xabier Gutierrez.
