This was our 6th consecutive visit to our beloved favourite restaurant, which is an exclusive place with few tables, so booking essential.
We were warmly welcomed by the lovely Maria, having emailed to confirm Juan Carlos would be heading up the kitchen tonight. Blown away...to discover he only cooks vegetarian tasting menus on special rare occasions, so husband treated like royalty throughout the entire evening! Hubby thinks that as a practising vegetarian for 40 years, who has eaten in many high end restaurants, Juan Carlos does not give himself the credit he deserves. His vegetarian tasting menu outranks any other place we have visited across the globe.
Suffice to say our two tasting menus were sublime - packed with culinary surprises, amazing flavours, colours, textures and served by professional staff who exude calm throughout a busy service. Please see photographs attached, which hopefully capture our amazing experience. This is culinary and dining perfection in every sense of the word.
Again, as last year, we await the news that El Rincon have been awarded 2 Michelin stars, as it does not compare with other one star restaurants in the UK we have enjoyed recently.
Many thanks to Juan Carlos, Maria and the whole team for a fantastic visit yet again. We are due to visit again next January. xxxMore
