I always wanted to try this Spanish restaurant. For my birthday, my very very close friend took me out to SANT PAU Tokyo. OMG...I ended up going to this restaurant without checking the menu or price. The food was great! Sparkling water was a bit salty though. We ordered the course menu (I think it is like 22000 yen per person or something...) and a bottle of wine, so I am sure the bill was somewhere around 70000 yen. I will recommend this place for a special occasion for sure, but don't look at the bill and freak out.
The food was like Spanish fusion...I think everything was influenced by French and Japanese. I personally thought everything was a bit salty, and they used too much gelatin for many things. Ingredients they used were amazing...even olive oil for bread was tasty. We were not too impressed with pork because it was medium rare and tasted like beef, but it is just a personal preference. I have to give this restaurant four stars. A full of surprises until the end (including the bill and a nice Japanese hostess with Spanish accent.) Don't forget to pay attention to paintings on the wall. I really liked leather covered doors (the leather was Italian though...)
