Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Manresa Restaurant from around the web.
"What followed was an indulgent celebration of new experiences and astounding tastes, some familiar and some less so, that spanned no less than 19 courses. Don't expect me to describe each one, but do let me enthuse about some of the delicacies that passed..."
"His evident penchant for strong tastes and juxtaposing interesting flavors felt jarring at times, but the ones that worked were wonderful. He's not afraid to push the envelope, test the boundaries, though at times to some not so successful ends, but even..."
"Foie Gras and Cumin Caramel - This was just wonderful. I am running out of adjectives. This is actually a creme caramel flan and the subtle taste of the cumin adds a depth of flavor that gives savory/sweet new meaning...."
"The meal was a six hour journey over sixteen courses or so. It is worth nothing that the desserts were equal to the meal - the highest praise is deserved...."
"Manresa was my first exposure, first-hand through many meals, to watching a great restaurant, and chef, transform itself from very good to great...."
"The vegetables dishes are fresh, thanks to the garden, but it is the conceptual nature of the dishes that lift them into rarefied territory...."
"The kitchen gives you time to reflect on the prior dishes and have some conversation between courses. By far, out favorite dish of the night was the Risotto "Biodynamic" with snails...."
"The only thing that really changes at Lucques is the menu, which flips with the seasons and highlights local, organic, and artisanal ingredients. ) A tiny plate of olives—the restaurant is named after the French green Lucques olive—flaky fleur..."
"My husband & I had dinner here for my birthday last year. When our server realized we weren't ordering bottles of wine, he became snooty and unfriendly...."
"Our tasting menu began with what looked like dessert, but it was indeed savory. The red pepper gelee and black olive Madeleine were more interesting than delicious...."
"David mostly succeeds and some of his best dishes are rather mind bogglingly good. In a menu which was composed of 15 dishes or so in the dinner to which I have alluded, other than the foie gras I mentioned, there was indeed not a single dish that made us..."
"Is anyone else tired of tasting menus at fancy restaurants?..."
"One of his signature dishes at Manresa is called Into the Vegetable Garden, which is on the menu every day, but is always different. It's "as if we had held a mirror up to the garden and it showed an edible reflection,'' he says...."
"Japanese Sea Bream, puree of turnip, wild sorrel and a mesquite seashell sauce - one of the best dishes I've ever had. The sea bream, sourced from Japan, was full of flavor and perfectly cooked to a creamy texture...."
"00 wine pairing- and amazed as we were- these were both fantastic. We'd been burned at SF's Fifth Floor and Napa's La Toque- and...."
"The accompanying quinoa, colored emerald-green with arugula juice, was wonderfully comforting and savory. It was especially refreshing to meet an entire ramp on this plate...."
