Booking

Reservation-only with no walk-ins; book through the online reservation platform or by phone. Tables are extremely hard to get, so plan months ahead.

FestiGo is not affiliated with Michelin. Stars, prices and booking details are compiled from public sources; Michelin and the restaurants have the final word.

Good to know

• Booking is very difficult; the menu is a blank sheet and the chef composes it by season and by how often you have visited, so no two meals are alike.
• Dinner runs in two seatings, 17:00 and 20:30, and the restaurant is closed Sundays and public holidays; allow about three hours including wine, so keep the whole evening free.
