ZURRIOLA

I have to say "Wow"! and I'm sure glad I found this place after 4 years. We always try to find something new, there's so so much to explore in tokyo. Great little place- very aesthetic and service is top notch. Had 2 choices of seto- tasting menus, one with ravioli, one without. We chose one with...out. Like 7 courses of simply amazing deliciousness and art. Solid wine selection, french and spanish. Decent prices of drinks--very competitive. But it was the food and presentation that steals the show. Fish like never before. Beautiful plating and presentation is perfecto. It was quite an experience over 3 hours!!!! The highlights were numerous but what comes to mind- the octopus has to be the best i've ever ever had, so tender--I do not know how they did it. and the foiegras mousse--OMG. This place is not inexpensive, but reality is it is far from most expensive, but worth it--i would call it relative value and a high end treat! thank you.

Zurriola is a 2 Michelin star restaurant in Tokyo. It is located in Ginza, the most expensive neighborhood in Tokyo. It was the first time to go to a Spanish restaurant that have counter seats, similar to Japanese restaurants in Japan. This is very nice as you can see the chef preparing the dishes ...and it is definitely part of the whole experience, recommend to reserve counter seat! Loved all the dishes and the desserts were amazing! It was my birthday, so they were so lovely to prepare a "Feliz Cumpleanos" dessert plate

I booked Zurriola (2 star Michelin) via Open Table Japan about a month before we visited Tokyo. We arrived promptly at 1215 pm for our lunch reservation and was seated in the open kitchen where Chef Honda was working his magic! We even had the pleasure of Chef Honda's personal introduction to the ...dishes. We ordered the lunch degustation paired with wine. And the journey started - fresh crisply prepared food artfully presented in a canvass of fine dishes. I thoroughly enjoyed the Salad of Piglet Confit - fresh vegetable salad harmoniously wrapping the piglet followed by flavourful yet tender prawn in sour olive oil. There was an avocado purée at the bottom of the concoction. Next was the delicious squid stuffed with porcini mushrooms. Again the squid was so tender we had to ask Chef Honda what was his secret! And he kindly shared how he did it (and now we will try it at home). For main, I chose the Pluma of Iberico pig which according to Chef Honda is a special cut and only 2 pieces per pig is available. The pork was "delicioso"! And a special dish not in the menu was the Spanish rice with rabbit soup! I was quite full but the desserts just were so enticing - chestnut and Choco ice. Cream. Yummy! Then the petit fours with cappuccino. The Spanish wine that was paired with the dishes were perfect. Just loved the clean fresh taste! Our meal ended with a photo with Chef Honda!
