📖

Full description

Dos Palillos comes from Albert Raurich, a former head chef at El Bulli, and channels that experimental pedigree into a menu that moves between Spanish and pan-Asian small plates over as many as nineteen courses. At 4.3 stars from 1,544 reviews and a near-perfect must-see score of 99, it's regarded as one of the city's most distinctive fine-dining formats, with a very high trendy score reflecting its boundary-crossing concept.

Reviews are largely glowing, though a handful of diners find specific dishes too heavy or oily for their taste. It suits adventurous eaters ready for a long, genre-blending tasting menu.
