Freustil seems to drift in an out Michelin-favor recently, now out? Quite good kitchen- we took the 10 course-meal, and every round was up to standard, most of it excellent. The kitchen has a knack for constrasting flavours, like paprika-wasabi- lemonsorbet ice. They made me like gorgonzola, which i hate. All courses presented nicely, though not very subtle. Good colours. Surprisingly good Croatian red whine advised.
The whole shebang was a bit rich though, I was rather stuffed and exhausted at the 8th course. And while the kitchen manages to create well crafted, complex tastes, they could focus a little bit more on mouth feeling, combining soft, crunch, chew etc. But alltogether quite satisfying and creative.
The service left somewhat to be desired. While nice and enthousiastic at the start, if you enjoy a 250 euro a person meal, you don’t expect them to start preparing the tables for tomorrow around you while you are enjoying your desert. It sends the message: can you go now please? And you expect to get something with your bye bye-espresso. And you don’t want to go looking for a waiter for the bill and find them happily chatting together in some backroom. At a certain moment, they seemed to forget that we were in the house.
All in all - semi-professional, need some drilling.
