8/10 Good
"Anoche tuvimos la oportunidad de cenar en el restaurante Xal, una experiencia que, lamentablemente, fue muy decepcionante. El restaurante ofrece un menú de diez tiempos con una propuesta de fusión entre la gastronomía mexicana, finlandesa y del País Vasco. Sin embargo, desde nuestro punto de vista, la ejecución fue realmente deficiente. La presentación de los platos era poco atractiva y, lo más preocupante, fue la calidad y preparación de la comida. Los sabores, las texturas y la cocción estuvieron muy lejos de lo que esperábamos de un restaurante de este nivel.Uno de los primeros platos fatal la presentación y además muy mal elaborados, entre platos que nos sirvieron fue una preparación con cachete de res, al que ellos llaman “carrillera” o “carretilla”. La carne estaba hervida sabía súper mal, y la experiencia fue muy desagradable. Una preparación de este tipo, especialmente en un menú degustación de diez tiempos, debería estar perfectamente cuidada en cada detalle, los platos, muy mal elaborado muyy. Me cuesta creer que una propuesta que pretende estar inspirada en la gastronomía del País Vasco, una de las cocinas más reconocidas y respetadas españa , haya sido desarrollada y ejecutada de esta manera. Si realmente existe asesoría o participación de chefs vascos, considero que debería revisarse seriamente la ejecución del menú y la formación del equipo de cocina. En mi opinión, el restaurante necesita una revisión completa y profunda."
