Silent Opening: Restaurant Martin
By Christopher St Cavish, Aug 18th, 2009 | In Nightlife
Lauded Spanish chef Martin Berasategui's Restaurant Martin, in Xujiahui Park, is open.
Shhhhhh.
It's the very, very early days and they're still working out the overall direction of the restaurant. Will it be traditional, easy-to-understand Spanish cooking? Or the unabashedly modern style that has won Berasategui's flagship three Michelin stars?
Both options are on the table, so to speak. At the moment, there's only two menus -- a 600rmb traditional one, and an 800rmb modernist one -- but it seems like that'll evolve over the coming weeks and months. I'd guess it settles somewhere in between. Little bit of this, little bit of that.
Berasategui himself will be here sometime in mid-to-late September to launch the restaurant with a bang, but obviously the two chefs he's sent over from Spain don't wait until then to start cooking. They're sketching the thing out at the moment, one night at a time.
If you want a sneak peek, reservations are essential -- 6431 6639.
