22/12/2024: Rare Restaurant: A Rare Culinary Experience Rare Restaurant redefines dining, and my recent visit was a journey of flavors, textures, and exceptional hospitality. Here’s a glimpse of the unforgettable experience: First Course: Finger Food The meal began with fermented rice dumplings—an explosion of umami and texture that set the tone for the evening. Next came the cured trout, presented under a delicate beetroot jelly. From the first bite, it was a revelation—bright, bold, and playful, with a seamless interplay of flavors and textures. Chicken Malai The Chicken Malai was beautifully seasoned, with a thick, bold marinade that had just the right level of spice. While the dish was outstanding, I’d suggest a wine pairing with a bolder body to complement its richness. Turbot-Lobster-Coconut This dish was one of my absolute favorites—a masterful combination of silky textures and subtle flavors. The addition of lemongrass-infused mussels and tender pak choi added an impressive depth, tying the dish together in a truly memorable way. Venison The venison was so tender it could have been mistaken for dessert. Its texture and depth of flavor were nothing short of extraordinary. Desserts Just when I thought the experience couldn’t get any better, the desserts arrived. The saffron crème fraîche was luxurious, and the petit fours stole the show. The chocolate mousse infused with cardamom was a revelation—crunchy yet soft, with layers of flavor that I’ll be dreaming about for weeks. Non-Alcoholic Pairings A special mention goes to the non-alcoholic mocktail pairings. Each sip was a delightful surprise, crafted to elevate every course without overshadowing the dishes. The selection included a Blue Lagoon (probably), a Virgin Mary, a Pina Colada, and the best of all—a magical concoction of apple and nutmeg that was truly unforgettable. Exceptional Hospitality What truly set Rare Restaurant apart was the exceptional hospitality. We visited with our two children (ages 3 and 13), and the staff made us feel warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. We were seated in a quiet area, allowing us to have a lovely time to ourselves while ensuring we didn’t disturb other diners. The thoughtful arrangement made the evening enjoyable for both the kids and us—truly a family-friendly yet elegant dining experience. This is only a tiny fraction of what Rare Restaurant has to offer. The food, the ambiance, and the overall experience cannot be fully captured in words. I highly encourage you to visit and immerse yourself in this culinary masterpiece. Go and see for yourself—you won’t be disappointed!

09/11/2024: Today I was very disappointed with this restaurant, as I already had an experience and it was pleasant in that it led me to return, but what was my surprise when I arrived at 8:55 pm asking for a table for two people, when I was refused because they were going to close when the closing time is 22:00, I felt that it was a unwillingness to serve as it was not crowded, there were lots of empty tables, in a place where reservations cannot be made and where I arrived 1 hour before closing and still having made a 50-minute journey minutes and go back, it will certainly be a restaurant not to return to.

05/01/2025: Visited here when seeing family for Xmas. Staff were very friendly, and the food was fantastic. Very good portions, great value for money. Will be coming back for sure.
