I did a small Michelin tour in Andalousia, this is the Michelin Star I tried the first day. Follow me for all the reviews on this, on others tours and on every Michelin stars in Paris and 3 stars in France.

The chef has a lot to say.
What’s interesting here?
The chef is exploring in plenty of ways and directions. So you’ll be surprised and entertained. In hindsight, he is quite different from others in the region. And bonus points, there’s an interest for mixology. The dishes may differ at lot in the sequence (in intensity and style), so it’s not your regular ride. I can surprise the usual Michelin gastronome, as it makes a bit more difficult to read him. Also some side dishes were not up to par.
The atmosphere was pleasant, the crowd international and the service agreeable.
It’s great for a date or a friends dinner.

Does deserve its star

Reservation went smooth. The restaurant is tastefully decorated - modern style - and with good acoustics. We had had the small menu which was plenty of food for us. We also ordered the wine menu.

The shrimp was our favorite. Very delicious. No doubt a lot of thinking had been put into the individual dishes but some nevertheless  did not work for us, either taste or texture i.e. the squid.

Wines are local which we appreciate. They were not highend but well matched with the food. Servings of wines were very small glasses. I went dry of wine twice during the meal which should not happen.

The service was polite and correct all the way through but also a bit mechanical. We are used to and hoping for a more friendly and hospitality kind of style where you discuss the food and the wine along the way.

The total bill for the experience was definitely reasonable.

I typically have a lot to say about my dining experiences, though I don’t have a whole lot to say about my experience at Messina Restaurante.

I chose the Menu Messina for dinner. I usually mention a “standout” dish, though no dish in particular stood out to me. The presentation was very nice but the food and the service were just okay.

Personally, I wouldn’t rate this experience very high on my list of fine dining experiences. For the price tag, and in comparison to the other Michelin star restaurants I’ve reviewed, the value isn’t quite as high. Though I left relatively underwhelmed, it was not a bad experience overall and I would be happy to give it another try if some improvements are made.
