wife organised 2pax dinner @ alma by Juan amador on 3.9.2021.^^

exquisite 5-course dinner with 4 amuse bouche.

prices getting steeper and steeper…I just took a look now (6.12.2021…won’t go back at these prices..lunch or dinner…)

overall, our last dinner here jun2018 was much better – food and also prices.

we had their anniversary menu-I think like restaurants’s 6 year consecutive michelin star anniversary

really good – 4 amuse bouche (snacks) …petit four so so.

5 course with champagne..wife took the wine pairing..

the uni dish of course magnificent.

Hokkaido scallops the best dish…never served such a huge scallop…perfect texture and sweetness…simply delicious..

pigeon breast was done well…nothing spectacular…had much better pigeon before at Jaan and in Amsterdam…the thigh with claws not a great presentation…supposed to mesh in with the branch artistry??? dish was ok of course…competent…

restaurant was fully booked.
