Magical moments at the Mandarin Oriental

I'm taking you with me for the most exciting, fun, luxurious, stylish and incredible (and i'm not over exaggerating) Lunch! Fancy it? 

I had no idea we where we were having lunch, the only information the hubs gave me was that he had booked somewhere incredible for us... 

When we arrived at the Mandarin Oriental restaurant Moments, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. 

Moments has two Michelin stars already for its cuisine inspired by Catalan culinary culture and is Managed by chef Carme  Ruscalleda, one of the most famous chefs in Spain.

​

The menu, is inspired by the Seventh art. 12 courses, in the theme of famous movies... how exciting. An experience that was not only beautiful and delicious but exciting and entertaining at the same time... time to take our seat at the cinema.

To Start... Breakfast at Tiffany's. Served in the cutest way! Sobrasada Brioche, Mahon cheese and apple ham broth.

Followed by (LEFT TO RIGHT)
Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios 1988 (I Cant  pretend i'm familiar with the movie, but the dish was amazing) Gazpacho. manchego, white and black garlic 
The godfather 1972 (colt, orange, eggplant)
Titanic 1997 (marine elements , chantilly)

Como agua para chocolate 1992. Quail in rose petals.

007 in octopussy. Rock octopus, cannelloni, potatoe, paprika 

​Forest gump 1994. Mediterranean red prawn

The wizard of oz. Red mullet, bell pepper and asparagus. For this dish, we were instructed to wear our glasses and watch the dish turn into the emerald city. Wow  

The most controversial dish... the silence of the lambs 1991 
Suckling lamb, borsh, brain (I know) and katsuobushi. Followed by Ratatouille 2007, cheese selection with sweet ratatouille.

Finding nemo. The serving of this dish was just amazing. A large fishbowl with ts own floating nemo. completely enhanced the theater of this dish. It was easy to see why it was a massive hit with the days guests 

Pulp fiction 1994. The famous $5 shake. Yes, it was every bit as amazing as it looked.

Charlie and the chocolate factory. Chocolate, green tea matcha and olive oil. An amazing grande finale. If you haven't tried chocolate and olive oil, your not living! 

I really couldn't recommend an afternoon or evening at moments enough, its quite simply an unmissable experience. Impeccable, entertaining, unique and utterly delightful. My compliments to the chef indeed
