Comparing Bastilla across three restaurants — an honest verdict

I ate Bastilla at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of medjool dates varied significantly — only one got it right. The sweet and savoury together profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely.

hospitality rituals including mint tea service are integral to the food experience. The best version came from a desert camp dinner, which felt authentic. almond milk was offered at all three but only one knew how to serve it properly. The gap between mediocre and excellent Bastilla is larger than you'd think.
