You need to book two months in advance to even get a table at Tickets. Can it possibly be worth the trouble?
It depends. Tickets ranks 42nd in this year’s World’s Best Restaurant list among a list of serious fine-dining establishments, but it is, in essence, a tapas joint. That said, there’s a theme – the entrance is like arriving at a theatre, and the wait staff are in ringmaster uniform – and the tapas is unlike anything you’re going to get elsewhere.
We started with a beetroot meringue ‘biscuit’ with horseradish cream filling, and that was just the beginning of a meal of surprise and delight.
In that sense it was absolutely worth the wait. Tickets shows just how creative tapas can be in the hands of masters.
