I wasn’t very afraid to go I am Kitchen (Zurbano, 59). They had spoken to me well and it had been a long time Repsol and Michelin They had distinguished the restaurant from Jules Zhang. Natural: A guy who leaves China to move to Pamplona and open a steakhouse has at least one vital background that explains his dishes. (Remember that he was rewarded with a monkfish skewer with artichokes and shrimp).
He met me at Soy Kitchen with two crossfit friends very handsome (we will soon be a teacher of something serious) and a friend who wanted to introduce us to one of these little leagues which They pretend to be a nail to remove anotherbut in the end it’s a screw that sinks in with pressure and a tool. He made a very good impression on the gang because he came back warm from the meal and was quite funny in the way he took things. Even the jokes.
We opted for the long menu that Zhang offers, which costs 85 euros and consists of nine passes. I will only say that it was neither excessive nor heavy for dinner, and we topped it off with two bottles of red (a French one at 38 euros), sake and three or four whiskeys and tequilas What my friend and the suitor brought to the hanging asked for.

Anyway, maybe it was because by that point in the night I had already had quite a few glasses of wine. Then Zhang’s signature dish arrived: lobster, which needs two points to be announced. It was grilled or wok fried, and you had to work hard to sip the sauce that came with it. It was pretty good. You know: if you’re having a gala dinner, include crayfish; for an elegant dinner, lobster. for one Dinner at Abalos. Prickly pear!
You already know that I’m not a laminera, so I didn’t have dessert, even though it was included in the menu we ordered. they blew us up 120 euros per person; Quite expensive if you don’t take into account the fun company, intelligent people I’m lucky to know. I won’t continue down this path just in case Arcadia He tells me to invite him to dinner every night. You definitely don’t want to come to Soy Kitchen.
