Celebrating my wife's birthday at FORN de Sant Joan was an absolutely exquisite experience! We opted for the tasting menu, and every dish was a masterpiece that left our taste buds dancing with joy.
The MINI CORNET FILLED WITH SEA BASS AND LANGOUSTINE CEVICHE AND...COCONUT FOAM was a delightful starter that set the tone for the culinary adventure to come. The combination of flavors was harmonious, and the coconut foam added a unique and refreshing touch.
Next up, the COLD SLICES OF FOIE GRAS WITH PX REDUCTION AND CRUNCHY TOAST were a symphony of rich, velvety textures and decadent taste. The PX reduction elevated the foie gras to a whole new level, and the crunchy toast provided a perfect contrast.
The WONTON RAVIOLI STUFFED WITH SCALLOP AND SHALLOT AND SEAFOOD CREAM was a true highlight. Each bite was a burst of oceanic flavors, and the seafood cream brought a luscious creaminess that tied everything together seamlessly.
Moving on to the GRILLED TURBOT, COURGETTES IN DIFFERENT TEXTURES, ROASTED FISHBONE SAUCE WITH SMOKED BUTTER, we were treated to a dish that showcased the chef's skill in balancing diverse elements. The turbot was perfectly grilled, and the fishbone sauce with smoked butter added a depth of flavor that was simply divine.
The ROAST SUCKLING PIG, SAUTÉED CAULIFLOWER WITH GREEN BEANS, YOGURT VINAIGRETTE AND VADOUVAN SPICES was a culinary masterpiece. The suckling pig was succulent with a crispy skin, and the sautéed cauliflower and green beans provided a wonderful contrast. The yogurt vinaigrette and Vadouvan spices added a delightful complexity to the dish.
Finally, the DESSERT, BACIO DI DAMA LIGHTLY CARAMELIZED STRAWBERRIES FILLED WITH CRÈME BRULÉE, was a sweet conclusion to our gastronomic journey. The caramelized strawberries and the creamy crème brûlée created a perfect ending that left us craving for more.
The service was impeccable, and the ambiance added to the overall charm of the evening. FORN de Sant Joan exceeded our expectations and made my wife's birthday celebration truly special.
