A romantic nebula crafted from 2,700 crystals! A new sanctuary for Western-style dining dates!

Embark on a culinary journey through the world of Spanish modernism, where your taste buds set sail on a voyage of oceanic depths and romance. Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing beauty of a romantic nebula composed of 2,700 crystals, creating an unforgettable and ceremonial dining experience. Shanghai has no shortage of romantic Western restaurants, but this new establishment is truly exceptional! Nebula meticulously selects premium seafood and meats from around the globe, transforming them into richly layered European delicacies through ingenious culinary artistry. Executive Chef Jonatan Rubio, hailing from Michelin-starred restaurants, has absorbed diverse culinary traditions during his travels across Eurasia and South America. He brings his expertise to Nebula, presenting a captivating Spanish modern fine dining experience, filled with bold passion and unique creativity. Each bite is a heartfelt ode to gastronomy, and every moment is steeped in an elegant, ceremonial ambiance. Embark on this romantic nebula dinner, priced at 1,288 yuan, with an expertly curated wine pairing. Scott, a millennial sommelier and possibly the only one in Shanghai fluent in both Spanish and French, recommends intriguing wine pairings for each dish, elevating the entire dining experience to new heights of culinary delight. Crystal Bread with Chicken Gizzards and Chestnut Cream Sauce The presentation of this dish is simply breathtaking! The crystal bread, crafted from arrowroot powder, is a bold and imaginative creation, resembling a work of art that's almost too beautiful to eat. The red wine-braised chicken gizzards, a traditional Spanish harvest dish, are paired with seasonal chestnut cream and black truffles from Yunnan, China. The rich flavors and captivating aromas are irresistible, making it impossible to stop at just one bite. Sea Urchin with Mushrooms and Artichokes A magical glass holds a thick, creamy mushroom sauce. Gently scoop a spoonful to discover the velvety sea urchin beneath, offering a buttery sweetness that melts in your mouth. The addition of crispy artichoke chips provides a delightful textural contrast, while the deep brown mushroom sauce at the bottom adds a profound and mellow depth of flavor. Smoked Yellowtail with Beetroot Rolls and Caviar This dish, with its Italian flair, is a light and refreshing seafood delight. The smoked yellowtail, a gift from the deep sea, boasts a rich and delicate texture, elevated by a touch of caviar. The accompanying beetroot and other vegetables, diced and scattered around the plate, are meant to be swirled through the sauce before each bite. This creates a sensation of vacationing in Southern Europe, offering a truly chill and enjoyable experience. Shrimp Variations This is my absolute favorite, a true haven for shrimp lovers. This dish tells a story, blending the chef's experiences in Spain, Ecuador, and China. The Catalan-inspired combination of chicken and shrimp features crispy chicken skin filled with succulent shrimp, a refreshing and delightful surprise. The Ecuadorian coconut and lime-braised langoustines offer a chewy texture that becomes increasingly flavorful with each bite. Finally, the Chinese-inspired yellow wine-marinated shrimp, seasoned with longan, adds an unconventional touch. This dish is sure to captivate every diner. Nebula Paella Originating in 19th-century Valencia, Spain, paella is a national treasure and a must-try dish. Start with a slice of tender duck breast – it's incredibly delicious! The small portion of paella exudes a toasted aroma, complemented by roasted garlic sauce and purple sweet potato cream, creating a complex and progressively delightful flavor profile. Strawberry Carolina Resembling a sweet version of a Pollock painting, the ingredients are seemingly scattered at random yet form a charming artistic composition. Inspired by the traditional Spanish dessert Carolina, the dish features pickled strawberries with a sweet and sour tang, smoky meringue with a milky aroma, crispy butter pastry, and cool, smooth strawberry ice cream, all interwoven into a vibrant symphony of flavors. Immersed in a dreamy, timeless setting reminiscent of a stroll through the Milky Way, this high-end and delectable dining experience is surprisingly affordable, with an average price of just around 1,000 yuan per person, offering both value and satisfaction. It's safe to predict that this will become a sought-after destination for couples in Shanghai, a sanctuary where love blossoms amidst a dreamlike nebula, weaving a magnificent chapter in their shared story.
