L'Art de cuisiner


   Generally speaking, we discover restaurants either by accident - caused by impulse, curiosity, hunger or prompt of intuition, or at the instigation of friends or tempted by enthusiastic reviews from e.g. the Internet. But often we are just looking for something new, we want to "refresh the taste", face the kitchen in a slightly different format that is sometimes closer to art (although this word has slightly lost its significance in modern world ) than eating.

    If your choice is directed towards L'Art de cuisiner, I recommend Messina in Marbella. Located on the main road just opposite the old town, it seems a bit out of place, as if it’s taken out of context. The large, glazed walls do not provide guests with any privacy, but it does not matter. From the moment when the first course enters the table, until we drink the last sip of wine, the world behind the glass panels loses its meaning.

   There is very small choice of dishes – but in reality only thing that matter is a tasting menu, developed and looked after by the chef. Which means that unfortunately you have to book a table in advance.

   So what's interesting in the menu?

   The dishes are inspired by the Orient, South America and, of course, local Mediterranean cuisine. Even the tableware is dedicated to this restaurant and its main idea - We mix !!

   There are no limits, no taboos! Let's experiment! This is the definition of creative cuisine - or, as some people tend to argue - fusion

    Everything is served in an exquisite way, sometimes a bit too ambitious in both the arrangement and the taste, but one cannot deny restaurant one thing - the rush to break the restrictions. By far the most interesting are fish. There’s no surprises here. It’s Spain after all.

   And by the way - I am extremely curious in which direction the chef's talent will develop ...

   Finally, important information - the restaurant boasts a Michelin star, so it's not cheap, but ... if you're looking for something new and original, it's worth it. And a word of caution - write down the name of the oil they use for dishes, it is an absolute elite and it’s local.

   What is the conclusion of my visit to Messina? The one and unquestionable truth about cuisine – it begins with high quality ingredients and nothing will change it!
