Welcome to the world of Dabiz Muñoz and his crazy restaurant StreetXO!
Think you’ve seen it all in gastronomy? Think again. Dabiz Muñoz, a chef with three Michelin stars, is not just a cook – he’s the enfant terrible of haute cuisine, breaking all the rules. His main restaurant DiverXO, opened when he was just 27, quickly earned three Michelin stars, and StreetXO, his second restaurant, is where cooking turns into a full-blown spectacle.
What is StreetXO?
StreetXO is no ordinary restaurant. It’s an explosion of colors, flavors, smells, and sounds. Imagine a space filled with flying pigs, giant ants, and colorful XO logos. Tables are spaced out, and the chairs are pink, reminiscent of first-class airplane seats. Every detail is carefully designed to shock and delight you.
Food as art and madness
At StreetXO, you won’t get a regular meal. Prepare for 20 courses served on plates made of dry leaves, copper, wood, even bull horns or rabbit fur! Some bites are eaten with hands, some with chopsticks, and rubber spatulas help you clean the plates. It’s a theater assaulting all your senses.
Non-alcoholic pairing? Yes, please!
Forget wine! StreetXO offers non-alcoholic pairings with kombucha, kefirs, fermented juices, and teas, all served in the thinnest glassware costing up to 100 euros each. This is not just a meal; it’s a boundary-pushing experience.
Organization and teamwork
Ants are the restaurant’s symbol – not because they’re boring, but because they represent hard teamwork. Every staff member is trained to anticipate your reactions and make you smile, shock, and delight. Even if you want a break, the staff will accommodate you because they know this is an intense experience.
Why is Dabiz Muñoz important?
Mate Janković, a famous Croatian chef, says Dabiz inspired him not because of technique but because of courage and energy. Dabiz changed the game in haute cuisine and showed that a restaurant can be a place of madness, fun, and art.
Conclusion
If you’re ready to forget boring dinners and enter a world where food is theater and every bite is an adventure, StreetXO is the place for you. But beware, this is not for the faint-hearted or those who love tradition. This is for those who want to be fascinated, shocked, and shaken.
So, would you eat a dish with rabbit fur or drink kombucha from a 100-euro glass? Or are you more of a classic white-tablecloth restaurant type? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s brave and who’s a scaredy-cat in the world of gastronomy!
