Yoko Barbate - Algeciras

2nd time. Once again, wonderful. It's a must, absolutely. Tarta de queso is the best way to close a fantastic experience.

We visited this Japanese/fusion restaurant for lunch to try blue-fin tuna at its best. Menu was by QR code and consisted of pictures grouped by dishes ie. Sashimi, ceviche etc. Which is helpful if you are not familiar with Japanese dishes. We chose sashimi to start, with 3 different types of tuna cuts, red, slightly fatty and fatty. The menu uses Japanese words for the cuts instead of Spanish, so ventresca is otoro etc. it would be useful if they also used Spanish words for the cuts then we would have had a better idea of what we were ordering. Portion sizes in full or half size are great, as is menu transparency showing portion weight in grams and what cut of tuna is used in each dish. We then chose 2 tuna tartare dishes, one traditional and one ‘spicy’ both were excellent, and even the picante one had well balanced flavours that still allowed the tuna to be the star. We then chose fresh and zingy tuna ceviche, white truffle and tuna nigiri, and tuna and pancetta nigiri, although both non-traditional nigiri the flavours worked really well together. Our only non-tuna dish and cooked dish was vegetable and langostine tempura, which had a lovely light crisp batter. We were really impressed with our meal here, and definitely can’t wait to come back, we will have to brush up on our Japanese and chopstick skills in the meantime!

Yes ok it’s expensive, but once you put in the quality of the products used and the attention to detail on everything they do... I don’t think it is anymore! Every dish was pure deliciousness, the wine accompanied the food perfectly, the service (Juanma in our case) was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable! Definitely a must visit if you’re in the area!

I just had the best fruitbowl ever! I had the GRIEGO bowl and it’s delicious, the place is right in the amin shopping streef of Malaga!

Valor seguro. Un top dentro de la comida gaditana con toques japoneses, o más bien japonesa con toques gaditanos. Continuamente innovando. Habrá que volver a ver los nuevos giros en la cocina.
