Eating at the Ocean

Really it shouldn’t be legal to have dinner at two different Michelin-starred restaurants on two consecutive nights, in two different countries, right?

No, not right, it’s awesome. And so I had dinner at Ocean, at the Vita Parc, and quite a different experience from Paco Perez, excellent as that was. This could be said to be … more refined. The excellent ongoing pairings from the wonderful sommelier might have been the difference. Who knew Portugal had such great wine? (Well everyone!)

the Ocean awaits
view from the dining room
the theme of the meal … and the pairings
and we’re off!
excellent flavors but the presentations are … perfect
unexpected and spectacular
more amazingness
even special napkins for some courses
what can I say?
d’Yquem
nothing more to say
then of course, dessert
and finally, coffee
yes, these beans passed through a civet on its way to my cup

Well that was pretty special. Unbelievable actually and I don’t quite believe it. Onward!
