Atempo

This spacious and contemporary restaurant will surprise guests as soon as they walk through the door as they are accompanied to two kitchens, for hot and cold food respectively, in which they can try a pleasant array of appetisers and small snacks before being ushered into the elegant dining room. The cuisine here, based around a single tasting menu designed by celebrity chef Jordi Cruz, showcases contemporary cooking and techniques that aim to highlight the depth of flavours, something they succeed in here thanks to top-quality ingredients and highly consistent combinations. The interplay between the kitchen and the service in the dining room is particularly impressive, with the finishing touches to many of Atempo’s dishes added in front of guests. One standout dish was the hare royale, with a black garlic emulsion and roast pumpkin and white garlic cream – a French-inspired recipe combining both flavour and solid technique.
