Cel mai vechi mare bucatar de bucatarie fina din Bucuresti?
Pe Joseph Hadad il stiu de foarte multa vreme, de pe cand era chef la Casa Vernescu, in vremurile ei cel mai bun restaurant din Bucuresti, pentru o buna bucata de timp.
Cum Joseph Hadad a devenit un brand intre timp, cand s-a inchis Casa Vernescu niste investitori i-au propus sa-i faca un restaurant chiar cu numele lui – ceea ce s-a si intamplat.
Au luat o casa foarte frumoasa in cea mai scumpa parte a Bucurestiului, intre Kiselev si Bulevardul Aviatorilor, au renovat-o complet, si i-au spus restaurantul Joseph, by Joseph Hadad, cu repetitia din nume menita sa sublinieze esentialul.
Nu e mare casa din zona cu case scumpe. Are trei saloane destul de mici la parter, iar la etaj un fel de mansarda, cred, foarte frumos amenajata, insa in care nu am vazut vreodata pe cineva. Clientela femeiasca, in special, refuza sa urce acolo, pentru ca trebuie sa se catere pe o scara circulara deschisa, extrem de ingusta si de abrupta, si nu vor sa arate oricui nearatabilul in public.
Terasa lui Joseph Hadad e foarte frumoasa, mare, are si o pergola acoperita in margine. Daca ar fi avut si un singur copac, macar, si niste mese si scaune ceva mai elegante, i-as fi pus si acolo nota maxima.
Joseph Hadad e un bucatar international, si meniul lui e la fel. E umblat prin lume, creativ, stie cam tot ce e important de stiut intr-o bucatarie fina, asa ca ii este usor sa faca orice. Sunt sigur ca ar putea sa faca si un meniu de nota maxima, si asa ar iesi daca ar sta el in bucatarie ca sa gateasca. Insa nu cred ca si-a propus asta, si-or fi facut ei niste calcule si au ajuns la concluzia ca aceasta este formula optima, cu mancare buna si foarte buna, insa nu de adevarata Grande Cuisine, ca sa poata sa tina preturile sub control, si sa-i ramana si ceva timp liber lui Joseph, sa nu trebuiasca sa prinda radacini in bucatarie, la varsta si, mai ales, la faima lui.
Serviciul e bun la Joseph Hadad, chiar daca multi chelneri de acolo nu au vreun instinct de client service sau vreun zambet cat de cat natural.
Preturile sunt mari la Joseph, o masa in doi, cu o sticla de vin bun, iti scoate pe nesimtite 500 de lei din portofel. Insa nu cred ca te simti inselat, nu sunt cele mai mari din oras si, oricum, mancarea e printre cele mai bune, daca nu chiar cea mai buna din aceasta categorie a bucatariei internationale.
Joseph by Joseph Hadad e, in momentul in care scriu, in fruntea Listei Restocracy a marilor restaurante din Bucuresti, daca nu luam in calcul un restaurant cu specific pescaresc, cu care nu se poate compara, totusi, fiind lucruri complet diferite. Asadar, daca va cere cineva sa-l duceti la cel mai bun restaurant cu mancare fina din Bucuresti, nu riscati prea mult daca ii propuneti Josep by Joseph Hadad. (GB – martie 2017)
