Ahh what a disappointment. From all I had read and videos watched I had high hopes for Central.

The decor, ambience, staff and surroundings are top notch. The theatre and anticipation is exquisite, and the backstory of the restaurant and what it tries to achieve is exceptional.

The food is very pretty, crafted by experts and has a tremendous story. And it's 12 courses of the chefs showcasing their technical expertise and knowledge of the indigenous ingredients.

But the taste of the actual food is underwhelming and its style over flavour and balance of flavour. The lamb dish features dehydrated sheep's milk that have no flavour and give brief texture before dissolving as having never existed. The actual lamb is so rich and intense that you are craving for some respite that is never there.

I'd much rather eat at Astrid y Gaston where it is not a tasting menu and the dishes are memorable long after having eaten. All I remember now of Central is the decor...
