I came to dinner with my girlfriend who has been a vegetarian for years. We thought of Joia because it is the only starred restaurant in which to eat together. The experience turned out to be between the disastrous and the comic (even if two cabaret tickets would have cost us much less). We choose the menus and prepare to experience this culinary experience. The first courses arrive: "travel notes" for my girlfriend. The dish has five teaspoons with different sauces to dip in a foam. The experience begins, but not the one we expected. In handing out the dish, the clumsy maid inclines him by making a strike with the spoons that spill the liquid in the pot, all exclaiming "I do not believe it!". We did not even believe it. The head room pretends indifference while explaining our dishes, the maid sets up the good and better the serving by serving the dirty dish with a spoon completely empty. To which my girlfriend, timidly advances the request to have the full spoon. What we expected was (obviously) the replacement of the dish, what happened is that they brought a teaspoon aside letting her eat on a plate that would be unpresentable even in any pizzeria. My menu included adding truffles to each dish. The head of the armed room of glove and truffle cutter is preparing to complete my dish. Immediately you understand that it is not very practical with the instrument, in fact a piece flies on my pants. Obviously she does not notice it. A constant dinner was the inability of all staff intervening to place anything on the table without banging at least two other objects. So, between clumsiness, we try to go ahead and enjoy our dinner. To quote only two other moments of high disbelief on our part: I'm drinking a sip of wine and a waiter clears the plate stumbling in my elbow and pretending nothing, my girlfriend is eating the cake and the waitress before the flat end decides to take it away, creating the embarrassing situation of having to point out that "sorry I had not finished yet". In short, it really seemed to be in a candid room and would have made us laugh if it were not for the 378 euros of account for two menus and three glasses of wine. It must be said that not even the food was up to what is expected of a starred restaurant. The dishes were often cheap and the taste almost always good but certainly not special. Being a cooking enthusiast, sometimes I give myself a starry dinner and I wonder how it is possible that Joia has earned a Michelin star.
