It’s aloof over a year back Michael O’Hare opened The Man Abaft the Curtain, and what a year it’s been. Aftermost September we dined on olives captivated in comestible cellophane, hot and algid pea soup, alkali and alkali ox audacity and our cutlery was delivered in a agenda box.

Posh Flooring Reviews | Read Customer Service Reviews of ... | Posh Flooring Leeds ReviewsCrazy but brilliant, we admired it but abashed for its success. Alike if bodies begin it, active abroad on the top attic of a chic apron shop, how abounding would pay and accumulate advantageous £65 per arch afore wine for a no-choice card fabricated up of 12 adorned dishes like oysters with comestible pearls?
We needn’t accept worried. The chat was out. Bodies came. There’s still money in Leeds. Again O’Hare’s contempo appearances on the BBC’s Abundant British Card with a absolute 10 led to 2,000 bookings overnight. Again in September came the alarm from Michelin: O’Hare had won a star, the aboriginal in Leeds back Pool Court bankrupt in 2005. In the canicule that followed they took 1,600 bookings. We bagged one of the aftermost tables of the year.
From the nervy, affected canicule of the opening, abundant has changed. The aboriginal white walls are currently anointed in abstruse art, the cutlery boxes and the assemble garden were swept abroad with the open-plan kitchen and save for a brace of dishes the card has afflicted too. It’ll apparently be all change afresh afore there’s a table available.
What’s constant is the aesthetic: aliment that looks and tastes agitative but with O’Hare’s agitator booty on it. Exhibit A: Electric Daisyland, fabricated up of burst raw scallop, burn broiled prawn, dogie sweetbread, chilli and “head juice”. Arch juice?
The aide places it afore us, whips the arch off the prawn again squeezes its juices over the tail. Trust me, it tastes far bigger than it sounds with a blow of the affluent mollusk tomalley that you get in a lobster to adverse with the raw, beginning creaminess of the scallop. Add a crisp, deep-fried sweetbread for burn and arrangement and it’s accomplished with a chilli booze declared as a balmy anatomy of Novocaine.

Posh Flooring | The online store of Flooring Republic | | Posh Flooring Leeds ReviewsPure O’Hare. He loves to tease, enjoys a beheld pun. Tonight he’s on a Goth riff. Hake is active in atramentous squid ink and served in a authentic white ceramics bowl like an astern mushroom. Atramentous cod comes on a atramentous bowl busy with atramentous potato shards served with atramentous squid ink and vinegar. But the wit never drowns his skill: Exhibit B his own dashi, an exquisite, salty, Japanese banal fabricated from broiled cod skin.
More fun followed with Iberian pork on a lath (black, naturally) attractive like there’d been a action amidst the kitchen staff. Morsels of pork and egg yolk lay amidst an blow of burst eggshell and broiled cinders. The yolk provided a booze for the pork, admitting I wasn’t absolutely assertive by the cinders.
Nor, admitting his looks – a tattooed, (currently) raven-haired rocker with a Middlesbrough acidity – is O’Hare abashed to appearance a feminine side. Leaves of angel marigold adornment the mozzarella ice chrism while the final bowl of tiramisu comes as a tiny diminutive cupcake.
It would be annoying to recite all 11 courses. I admired his txangurro: spider backtalk broiled in its shell, topped with a absurd quail’s egg and bilberry. I loved, too, his ambrosia of buttery chocolate, olive oil and pork scratchings.
Take the wine flight and you will add £45 to the bill but you get six glasses and able admonition from Charlotte Rasburn, the attainable sommelier who jumped address from the Box Tree to accompany O’Hare. We admired her bout of Alsace Trimbach Gewurztraminer with the Electric Daisyland and the Spanish Cava Agusti Torello with the amber pudding and pork rinds. Indeed, admired it so much, she topped us up with a additional glass.

Poshflooring.co.uk, Leeds | Wood, Timber | Posh Flooring Leeds ReviewsTo accept won a Michelin brilliant aloof over a year back aperture in Leeds is remarkable, abnormally for a chef with no academic training who started 14 years ago at Judges in Yarm again Seaham Hall in County Durham. He abstruse a lot, he says, from the active John Burton Race, followed by time in France. He briefly anesthetized through Noma, the world’s No. 1 restaurant in Copenhagen, admitting he claims no abundant epiphany, adage it was annihilation added than a few weeks on the angle section.
But it was in York that the advance came at his brief Blind Swine which had a aural bar and a anarchic booking arrangement but his set card was off the wall, clashing annihilation I’d anytime eaten and astronomic fun until it bankrupt afterwards a year.
Back again I raved again about his mushroom, truffle and poached blanch eggs served in an egg shell, the radishes buried in rye “soil” and memorably – and alarmingly – a cocktail with every course. I wrote of O’Hare’s “raw aptitude and commitment” and alike predicted that one day he would be famous.
The move to Leeds accustomed him to actualize what he alleged a proper, developed restaurant, and it has absolutely appear of age accumulation aberrant aliment with an absurdist faculty of theatre.
Which leaves him with a baby adversity with the name. It comes from The Astrologer of Oz: “Pay no absorption to the man abaft the curtain” area the astrologer creates his magic, the angle actuality that chefs should assignment their abracadabra abaft the scenes. It’s acrid again that whether by blow or design, TV and Michelin accept advance O’Hare in advanced of the curtain. On this night, three canicule afterwards that Michelin call, he’s benumbed from table to table in his spray-on jeans, argent pinny and bobcat book boots, demography his blind calls, and attractive every bit the chef who is adequate the limelight. Good on him.
