Lucinda O'Sullivan's restaurant review: 'A series of faultless, exquisite, works of art - it's one of the most memorable experiences I've had in 30 years as a critic'

"We'd worked our way through a series of faultless exquisite dishes, each one a work of art, each one displaying depths of flavour and skill, and each one perfectly chosen to lead seamlessly into the next. Not only that, with tasting menus topping €200-plus in many high-end restaurants these days, this ethereal experience came in at a mere €89."

"Is this the best food you've ever had? my friend, the fashionista, said quizzically almost to herself, whilst ecstatically savouring a croissant pudding with pumpkin caramel and manzanilla, at the tail end of what had been a stunning tasting menu. There's no doubt it was one of the most memorable experiences I've had, and I've had quite a few in my 30 years as a restaurant critic."

John and Sandy Wyer's restaurant has earned international recognition with its newly-awarded star. The tasting menu presents a series of meticulously crafted dishes, each displaying remarkable depth of flavor and technical skill while flowing seamlessly from one course to the next. Every plate functions as an artistic creation. The experience stands out as particularly memorable among decades of fine dining visits. Notably, the restaurant offers this exceptional culinary journey at €89, significantly undercutting the €200-plus price points common at comparable high-end establishments. The croissant pudding with pumpkin caramel and manzanilla exemplifies the innovative approach throughout the menu.
