Zaranda

We had absolutely great experiences in Zaranda! It was like a wonderful trip full gastronomic adventures! 14 beautiful and stunning dishes. We loved the story telling, quality of tableware and cutlery. Service was excellent! The presence of the chief was very welcoming and interesting! Maybe a little bit too much in terms of quantity or size of portions. We felt a bit heavy after the dinner (maybe if you don’t eat at all during a day then it’s ok :) or maybe make some portions smaller… Anyway I recommend this place strongly! Unforgettable experience!

Our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary, each dish was thoughtfully crafted, with a unique story behind it—a level of care and intention we've rarely encountered before. The chef's creativity and passion were evident in every bite, and we were truly captivated by the artistic elements woven into the meal. Though this is a one-star Michelin restaurant, the experience felt much more in line with what we’d expect from a two-star establishment. The meal was perfectly adapted to our pescatarian preferences, and we never felt as though we missed out on anything.

Our experience at Zaranda exceeded all expectations. From beginning to end, the staff treated us with exceptional kindness. We thoroughly enjoyed the immersive journey through history and storytelling as we moved from room to room. The food was exquisitely crafted, with a level of detail and thoughtfulness that made each dish feel like a work of art. The staff's warmth made us feel as though we were the only guests there. With seating for only six tables, the intimate atmosphere allowed us to relax and savor each course of our set menu at a leisurely pace. Dining at Zaranda is a memory we will always hold. Thank you to the team for a wonderful experience! Highly, highly recommend.

The 18 course full tasting menu, is far too much food. We were promised they were snacks, and actually had to ask them to cut the rest of the dishes away completely at course 10. The theme around leather making is bizarre, to be fed cow face and things like monks fish liver- yuck. I've never gagged at a dish in a Michelin star restaurant until now. Just because you can cook some forms of food, doesn't mean you should. The best part was dining in the kitchen. The sommelier wasn't impressed that we chose the cheapest wine on the menu at 60 euros a bottle, he suggested a 90 euro bottle which was very unpleasant, Jos suggestions for us was pretentious, I stead of asking us the kind of wines we actually like. We were still charged the full 18 course prices as we were told the dishes we would of had went in the bin. I don't believe this is true because they're made on the spot as we witnessed during the kitchen courses. The waitress/ manager then asked if we were adding a tip on to the end? We should of been given the dishes we couldn't eat as takeaway, as we were charged for them anyway. I've eaten in a 3 Michelin star restaurant which was around 8/9 courses for their full tasting menu, with food flavours catered to the masses as opposed to trying to be really alternative and different. The whole menu concept needs a re think. Sadly I can't recommend this restaurant, the staff were unpleasant, and it's extremely pretentious and the menu was 85% fish, and I love fish but not these intense flavours. The food itself looks incredible, but the taste doesn't match

We arrived an hour early thinking we would grab drinks at the bar first. We were met with a very unhappy waitress or restaurant manager who told us we needed to wait for others to be seated. Which was fine by us. When the first two courses were served, she was so rude when explaining the dishes and answering our questions compared to the two tables next to us. We were then rushed to the chefs counter. My partner went to the restroom and the woman returned to rush me to our table. When I asked her to wait until my parent returned, she seemed annoyed. We were then seated at a table where a wall was sticking out in the middle of the seat and it was extremely uncomfortable. When we asked to switch seats, they told us there were others who reserved the table that will arrive. (We had also reserved a table, these people did not arrive until the end of our meal). To top it all off, there were pieces of a broken clay pot in our meal. When I poked at it, the same woman from the front came to tell me it was garlic. When I explained it was hard and not garlic, she went back to the kitchen to confirm it was a broken clay pot (which my partner had accidentally eaten a few pieces of). She then offered to remake the dish or provide another dessert - which we declined because at this point we just wanted to leave. At the end of our meal, the chef had taken off €45 per person due to the missing course. Which is a decent gesture, but does not make up for terrible service, super uncomfortable seating and having broken clay pieces in your food. The food was not bad, but I would not recommend coming here due to the experience we had. Definitely not worth the price nor deserving of a Michelin star.

Amazing experience, Michelin star well desserved! Love that the experience takes place first at the lounge, then opportunity to have tapas and chat with the chef in the kitchen, followed by seated dinner at the table. Each dish was impeccably decorated, with custom made dish ware to match. We asked the sommelier to pair a few of the dishes with local wine for us, and each pairing was just perfect and we were able to explore the best local producers. Note the dinner is very long, we were there for almost 4 hours, and seems a bit drawn out at the end. I also agree with some of the reviewers that it felt like too much food. Really appreciate the diversity in dishes, but perhaps editing down a couple dishes may leave diners less full to enjoy the dessert courses.

A wonderful dining experience unlike any other. Each dish had a story to it and you’re moved between 3 rooms throughout the dining experience. They also accommodated a gluten allergy very well. The food was delicious and too many courses to count.

Definitely one of the most entertaining Michelin star restaurants I have been to. The epidermis menu is huge and will certainly leave you feeling satisfied. It's great to sit at the chef's table and speak with him while he shows off his skills, what a nice, down to earth guy as well! A lot of the menu is based around fish and seafood so if you're in to that, do not hesitate to book in here!
