The cuisine here, with an an à la carte option and tasting menus designed by celebrity chef Jordi Cruz, shows contemporary cooking and techniques that aim to highlight the depth of flavours, something they succeeded in here thanks to top-quality ingredients and highly consistent combinations. The interaction between the kitchen and the service in the dining room is particularly impressive, with the ending touches to many of Atempo's dishes added in front of guests. One stanout dish was the hare royale, with a black garlic emulsion and surface pumpkin and white garlic cream - a French-inspired recipe combining both flavour and solid technique.
