Review Pelanggan untuk BASQUE

I think Basque was the first Spanish restaurant I’ve tried. Went back here a couple of weeks ago and am happy to find that taste remained pretty consistent overall.

🐈Worth to try

Patatas Bravas (65k) ⭐️8.5/10
Crispy baby potato with aoili and spicy brava sauce. Might sound basic but potato was very crunchy and the sauce was quite addicting.

Oxtail Bikini (130k) ⭐️8/10
Oxtail in the middle was very succulent and juicy🥰 . Bread had nice custardy inside while having crispy exterior.

Seafood and Chicken Paella (285k) ⭐️8/10
Paella with safron, prawn, mussel, squid, and chicken. Thumbs up for how generous they were with the protein. This one was honestly so flavourful that I can overlook how wet it is (almost like I’m eating risotto tbh) and how there’s barely any soccarat. Compared to black paella, this one was much more tomatoey, with nice sweetness from the saffron.

Red Tuna Tartare (95k) 7.5/10
Fresh tuna chunks with avocado and lime. There’s a good amount of 🌶 as well. The squid ink rice crackers were light but super crunchy.

Churros (65k) 7/10
Can’t go wrong with churros! Nice crispy batter with hot chocolate/nutella sauce.

Beef Meatballs (95k) 7/10
Juicy meatballs with spicy tomato sauce. Love how meaty they were while still being bouncy and light.

Croquetas (85k) 7/10
Crunchy croquette, filled with bechamel with jamon iberico. You can opt for chicken truffle filling as well.

Slow Roasted Lamb Shoulder (195k) 6.5/10
Lamb was fall of the bone tender. Due to minimal seasonings, you could really taste the herbs and spice blend. That said, this, alongside the potato confit, were too bland for me. The best part was honestly how sweet the Piquillo peppers were.

Tortilla Espanolla (75k) 6/10
Potato onion omelette with aoili and bonito flakes. Overall taste quite boring vs all the other tapas. The potato made this dish very heavy as well.

Crispy Pork Belly (95k) 6/10
Hmm not as crispy as I would have liked. Nice tang from pickled onion and apple at least?

Basque Mushroom Soup (85k) 5/10
Champignon mushroom. Quite watery and not creamy enough.
