Dinner at Enigma, Chef Albert Adria’s “Fun Dining” Experience
Thank you to Kerry at Evolution for getting us this reservation! https://www.evolutionagents.com/
I want to start off by saying how much I admire Albert Adria and his older brother Ferran. I’ve been cooking for a long time, 30 years and in that time I’ve been able to witness the “before and after” of how these two brothers impacted the food of the world. They have made everyone proud of where they’re from, proud of their own countries, proud of their own heritage.
When I was a young chef in the 90’s the only fine dining restaurants in America were French or Italian with little to no regard to America or the state you’d have been dining in. Now it’s quite different in the US and around the globe. The world has become adamant about using local ingredients that are indigenous to their native soils while also doing research into heritage crops prior to colonization or industrialization. These are just examples of the tidal change that these bothers were at the very forefront of.
The meal was great, we really enjoyed ourselves. We spent a little too much on wine and should have paid more attention to what we were spending per bottle. The service was good but will get better the more polished they get. I’ll try this restaurant again in a year or so. I’m sure it will have at least one star by then.

Whats the trick to get a tablett at fancy restaurants in short notice? Contacts? Famous guests? Money?
$400 per?? Good wine/cocktails?
Several ingredients I had to look up.
I bet you had to get a Kebab on the way home 😂😂.
You could see how sensitive Nina's palette is when she swallows that mandarin orange gelatine at 0:54 😆
Sea urchin sauce sounds interesting. The mandarin orange gelatin on the tiny plate looked like a fried egg. All the food looked very interesting. It was fun to see reactions to trying each dish. You were all brave to try everything! I am fasting this weekend so anything edible sounds yummy to me. Even the birch bark. Thanks for taking us to this interesting restaurant. P.S Windsor won the football championship yesterday! Undefeated season! Love from Yellow Jacket country
So this really showcased the artistry in cooking. Doesn't look really filling, but made up for it in being interesting and unique. Definitely separates culinary versus cooking! Side note: Nina and you were both wearing white. And you are both chefs. Does that mean the bloke to your right (Brennan) is also a chef???? Thanks and great video!
At 7:50 read it too fast and saw 'PATREON green peppers and PIRANHAS'.
Fascinating! I loved Ninas vegan comment…and yours.. no breastmilk.. Hihihi… somehow brave of you to try everything! What a show and sights and sensations.. tastes… fascinating…. 🤍🕊️🪄🦭🍽️🌬️👀🌤️🐚🤍
@*:00 – Oh my big friend.. I think, if it moves, it can go in to your menu!! What all are you eating, while Nina is stepping back!! Is it steak, chicken, pork??!!
Ok Brennan and Nina.. Come to India.. We will serve with so many items, that you will end up just tasting everything.. You will be full with that.. We have a 135 items in just one meal.. And, guess what, people actually eat that over their lunch..!! But, if you come to my home, I will prepare the food myself and serve.. It will be your favourite !!
Come to India, Brennen!! You have loads to learn here, in south India..
Just came across your channel and watched all your Sweden videos, I really liked them. You should go back in summer when its not cold as balls and when its midsummer. 😀
What wines did you drink? Did you choose them or were they recommended
to match the food?
Luv you guys, but that was all disgusting – I don’t any of you were happy during the whole $400/person ordeal.
