Restaurant MAGMA

Wow!!! We enjoyed everything in this restaurant, the food was excellent, everything with attention to every detail, and each dish was followed by detailed explanation. The service - excellent, the staff are so nice and welcoming, very friendly, something that adds much to the visit. We even liked the playlist that they were playing. Highly recommended.

The chef even made time to speak to us after lunch. Great, high-quality cooking.

Dinner at Magma was wonderful! My choice was a 7 course tasting menu. I am from the USA and often find the portions at American restaurants to be much too large to consume. However, at Magma each course consisted of a "just right" amount of the most artistcally- and lovingly-curated food that was a banquet for both the eyes and tastebuds (I had no trouble eating everything). I had never before been confronted by such undeniably complex taste and interesting texture of food--but it was fun to try to figure it all out! The staff were pros and both friendly and helpful with everything including wine pairing. It can be intimidating to eat in a fine restaurant when solo, but I received a warm welcome from the chef and staff. I really enjoyed my meal and highly recommend. Many thanks to you all at Magma.

We went to this restaurant specifically, but at 13.35 we were told that they were already closed, although it was stated that the restaurant was open until 14.30. It is strange that an hour before closing the kitchen is not working. In the end, we did not get anywhere for lunch, since we wasted time on this restaurant.

I hesitated to post this, because I can only remark my very subjective opinion. But all in all I was disappointed. The service was friendly but brief, the food I found quite uninspired, not much going on, particularly taste-wise... We had the wine pairing and they were quite stingy with the portions - and I don't gulp it down either. I will concede that the staff immediately accommodated us even after we made a mistake with the date of our reservation (we were a day early). Not a great experience.

Excellent meal in an excellent space. Very kind staff, and very informative and friendly chef! Would highly recommend to anyone.

The experience overall was okay .. despite the richness of the menu plus the quality of the food there were some service flaws that made our visit to Initial less enjoyable than it should have been .. - The service in general seemed messy, it looked like there was a lack of communication between the kitchen and the waiters. On the menu the main fish dish was meant to be serviced before the meat, despite waiting 30 minute for our dish the sommelier poured us a glass of red wine which seemed weird to eat with fish. 5 minutes later the waiters arrived with the meat. When told that the fish wasn’t served there wasn’t any apology nor any signs of surprise as it seemed completely normal. 10 minutes later we received our fish with no white wine as it was poured during the 30 Minutes wait. - The wine pairings were good ,a nice selection, but the lack of explanation and involvement of the sommelier taking the time to explain why the wines matched the dishes made it appear like a regular every day meal. The only time where an explanation was give was when the orange wine from Alsace was serviced Also, since there was a shortage of orange wine half of the table was served another wine. Besides these major points some details such as Men were serviced before Women at the beginning of the service.At the end of the service we were told that the extra glasses of wine for tasting were not counted for which appeared very unprofessional. All in all, It’s not a place not go to or avoid at any cost but the beauty of Michelin Star restaurants lies in details and on that evening they were severely lacking.

Very disappointing. Tasting Menu with accompanying wines - no explanation of wines and poured too late. Service was grumpy and slow. Food was average. No idea why it has a Michelin Star
