Alexander The Guest

I take you to some of the world’s most exclusive 3 Michelin-star restaurants.
We will take the tour, sample the menu and then decide, is it really worth it?

My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission - to find inspiration in gastronomy.
I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people
And that’s where you come in. So join me for a taste of luxury. Welcome to Alexander the Guest.

    The title of the video implies he didn’t like the restaurant. The actual video: he likes every single dish.

    Absolutely respect your view point but to me, the simplicity of the presentation makes me focus moreon the flavours. Too many fine dinning restaurants are over the top with the bells and whistles. Great video as usual. ;) PS: one of the reasons I like your videos is also the simple, to the point and honest delievery too.

    I understand why the chef doesn't want the excessive praise. He's just a local man doing what he loves and I'm sure he is very aware that people are coming in with sky high expectations. The food does look amazing and it looks laid back enough that my husband, who feels very uncomfortable in fancy restaurants, would enjoy eating there.

    Would someone be able to educate me on how on earth eggs can be "slowly grilled" to this consistency? 9:41 Could it be strained egg yolks + a ton of butter whisked constantly? But I don't understand how they're able to prevent any curds from forming, especially with direct heat

    Finally someone spoke the truth, I have seen dozens of videos about this location, many of who call it "the best in the World", but we all know that it is great, but hyped up to the point that it deters away from the other great locations that serve up food on par with it at a cheaper price.

    I understand the thought process of "if I pay this amount of money, I want more technique and bells and whistles" in the food, but for me I think this is one of the more appealing restaurants ive seen on this channel. I love it when good ingredients are prepared without much fuss and cooked to perfection.

    This is my kind of place! Top quality, local ingredients and usage, strong flavors, all while being able to remain humble in both food and ambiance. Even though your opinion was not as high, your presentation certainly was. Thank you.

    If you want to feel pampered, go to a spa. Fine dining doesn't always need the bells and whistles, great food and technique can stand on it's own. You seemed to like everything a great deal. It's not the Chef's fault the media has hyped him beyond any reasonable expectation. Your suits and glasses are incredible.

    Interesting. I think there’s several layers of missing the point here Alex. Firstly, the world’s 50 best restaurants list is an arbitrary list of popular restaurants & not really reflective of what is best. Just what is most popular. I’ve been fortunate enough to eat at 20+ on the world’s 50 best list, and almost always have left disappointed, able to list dozens of similar meals that were better…. So in this regard, Asador Etxerbarri is just the type of restaurant that would hit the top 50 list.. Spanish and hard to get into The next level that you’re missing the point is complexity. Complexity for complexity’s sake can be more disappointing that a simple piece of food prepared perfectly to let the flavour speak for themselves…. In fact, you seemed to infer this when you went to Disfutar, no? As with any arbitrary list of restaurants, there will be people that love overly worked complex food that is balanced well, there will be people that love white glove service, there will be people that love simplicity and flavour. This restaurant was a breath of fresh air in comparison the the main list of 50 restaurants that had a level of sameness about them.

    Maybe the very definition of fine dining is evolving. From one that involves every dish being plates to death and having 4-5 people touch it and a myriad of ingredients and cooking methods, to one that reflects simple elegance but masterful cooking. Maybe service expectations for fine dining is evolving. From one involving suffocating attention to a more casual but sincere attention. Yet leaving enough room for guests to interact among themselves… banter, even pour themselves a glass of very rare and expensive wine. Maybe that’s why this remote restaurant is earning its plaudits because it dares to be simple yet sophisticated. A specialist instead of another templated 3-star gig. In any case, thanks for brining me into the halls of a restaurant that I would really love to visit one day. Now it’s on the top of my bucket list.

    I was wondering how did they open the old wine bottle. I often see videos where sommeliers open the bottle with hot iron tongs but I see they do not use that in this case. It's an ahso wine opener enough this old wines? Great video Alex, amazing content as always! Cheers.

    Even if I think it's stupid, and I eat in Michelins or any other "luxury" restaurants only on the occasion of business meetings or dates, and I personally do not support the craze for these over-complicated places and so-called art (a way of milking or laundering money), I absolutely appreciate the creator of the channel. To be honest, the guy could talk about how grass grows and it would still be interesting. Personally, I am not a fan of such restaurants, but I am 100% a fan of Alexander. I respect and greet you! Thanks for the interesting content.

    5:48 "We are not a fine dining restaurant" - serves €200/kg peas and puts bottle of wine costing €2300 on the menu. The level of doublethink of these folk is ridiculous.

    Alexander (and others), had the opportunity to taste Krug GCV 171 and 170 at a champagne bar just 2 days ago. Had 171 before and it was decently good, fullness, acidity, but not that much toast or variety so a bit disappointed then and 2 days ago it was the same, good not great. 170 was fullbodied, little buttery, nice mousse and maybe a smidgen better than 171, but not by much, either a "big good" or a "small great" rating from me. Which Krug GCVs do you who drink them prefer? ... I had 166 before and it was excellent but 164 should be FIRE if can find it. ... I suspect 170/171 are not ready yet.
