Exploring “essence" as an ambiguous term, our food experience debates between the essence of being and the essence of a fragrance.  Both have the same power of persuasion over us, are imperceptible to the naked eye and enchanting. 

Starting from the premise that food would have no taste if it wasn’t for our smell, we explore the relation we have with essences through the interaction and values the ingredients have with our body and mind. Its starts from a purely physical connection, but as we  explore the different fragrances we dwell into our own memories and experiences, evoked by the smells of our menu. 

The experience aims for each dish, inspired and cooked with it the layer’s notes, to bring back individual memories. Each guest can recall over the course of the dinner the memories that have built up their own essence. Leaving the experience with a  “ bespoke essence “ - but created by the sensorial perception of food and perfumes.

Chef Paola Carlini invites you to explore the components of a fragrance through its top, heart and base notes translated into "edible notes" that inspired the composition of each dish.

Essentia

Interpreting "essence" as an ambiguous term, our food experience is a debate between the essence of being and the essence of a fragrance.  Both are imperceptible to the naked eye, enchanting, and have the same power of attraction over us.

Revealing the Layers of Taste

Inspired by the process of making chocolate in the Venezuelan village of Chuao, Cacao is a sensory journey created in collaboration with our friends from ¨Pao & The Gang¨, where you will discover that cocoa is much more than just chocolate.

In this menu, each step of the chocolate manufacturing process is represented by a dish using its by-product as an ingredient, which becomes its predominant flavour note. As dinner progresses, you will discover the different flavours in a cacao fruit.

Deep Emotive Interaction

Explore our emotional response towards the world of materials by relating materials with ingredients, feelings with flavours, and textures with culinary techniques.

Chef Chazz Titus reinterpreted Spanish gastronomy within the framework of New Nordic Cuisine and designed this menu using known local ingredients, and unexpected connections to create new flavours while focusing on the purity, freshness, quality and terroir of the main ingredient in each dish.

Bringing Flavour Black

En We Crave creemos que un cambio de paradigma ocurre cuando diseñamos para crear un vínculo que nos ayude a vernos a nosotros mismos como parte de la naturaleza.

Bajo esta visión, buscamos cuestionar nuestras prioridades, mirando atrás a nuestras raíces para re-encontrar una manera de vivir con la naturaleza y no de ella.

Instincts

Humanity is on the verge of completely disconnecting with nature. Our constant search for progress has made us turn technology and evolution against nature, making us gradually dependent on artificial stimuli that slowly incapacitate us to perceive reality through our feelings. 

Our dependency on technology has numbed our senses, making our experiences standard, monotonous, and wearisome. Even the act of eating has become a mundane routine, stripped off its connection with nature. Taking this in consideration, we created a tasting menu by taking nature straight to the table, questioning culinary stereotypes, rethinking all forms of social prejudice to evoke sensorial freedom that will reconnect us to the feeling of belonging that we left behind. 

Inspired by the fact that technological progress has offered us too much comfort, making us forget the primitive instincts that define our species,
we created Instincts to promote the idea of living in harmony with nature and not from it. Rediscover your instincts!

Cinco Jotas

01 | Dehesa

Dejaos envolver por el ecosistema único de la Dehesa, en el Sureste Peninsular, en estos mismos parajes, donde los cerdos 100% ibéricos Cinco Jotas, una especie única, campean a sus anchas en un festín de bellotas y hierbas.

Al igual que nuestros maestros artesanos toman decisiones que convierten cada jamón en una obra de arte única e irrepetible, os animamos a inspiraros en el espíritu valiente y contemporáneo de Cinco Jotas

Experiencia Gastro Artística 

Ice evokes idyllic feelings that give rise to perceptions of transparency and gloss within the patterns of its crystalline structure. Despite being a pure and simple solid form of frozen and scentless water, ice is an alluring material capable of provoking an uncontrollable desire to touch it, allowing us to cherish its ephemeral poetic nature as it disappears in time.

Explore ice through a story that conveys its enticing properties through its form, which follows a timeline of existence as it gradually changes from rigid to organic, eventually melting away.

Get seduced by the enigmatic flavour of ice.

Humanity has increasingly become disconnected from its surroundings; respect for nature is taken for granted. The search for progress as a species has made us see technology and evolution as concepts opposed to nature, making us completely disregard where we came from. We believe that a paradigm shift occurs when we create links that help us see ourselves as part of nature. Under this vision, we seek to question our priorities, looking back at our roots to re-discover a way to live with nature and not from it. 

Inspired by relatively isolated tribes from the Venezuelan territory of the Amazonian rainforest, we were able to understand how to live in symbiosis with nature. These tribes are responsible for conserving the ecosystem that surrounds them, making it a place they call home. As a result, we introduce Tepuy, a Food experience in collaboration with Chef Adriana Urbina. We propose with this experience a transit through the lifestyle of the Amazonian tribes. 

Using native and seasonal products, we’re able to transform their aromas, colors and textures while experiencing the richness and diversity of Venezuelan flavours.

Inspired by the isolated tribes living in perfect symbiosis with nature in Tepuys located in the Venezuelan territory of the Amazonian Rainforest, we transform native and seasonal ingredients into aromas, colours, and textures to experience the richness and diversity of Venezuelan flavours.


Tepuy Instincts

Tepuy addresses our disconnection with nature and questions the priorities of modern civilization. 

Discover a new way to live in harmony with nature by exploring gastronomy through the lifestyle of the ancient tribes living in the Venezuelan Tepuy, unique and unaltered ecosystems and are the oldest rock formations on Earth.
