Malaga's Latest Michelin Star Debuts New Location: Blossom Reopens in the Customs Palace

A Michelin Star and an intermediate fire, the yin and yang, the greatest gastronomic success and a critical situation in the restaurant industry, this has been the path and the foundations that have led the restaurant Blossom to its new location, the top floor of the Museo de Málaga, in the magnificent Palacio de la Aduana. The Argentine chef Emi Schobert opened the doors of Blossom this Tuesday, October 7, marking a new chapter for the restaurant in a space apparently larger than its previous location on Strachan street, yet serving the same number of guests, with enviable city views.

Blossom grows and takes two steps forward with its new location on the top floor of the Museo de Málaga. The Michelin-starred restaurant improves with the move by offering an even more outstanding wine cellar than its predecessor. But what really benefits Blossom with this change is a peerless terrace, with views that make the gastronomic enjoyment a complete experience due to its central location from the skies. The panoramic view will encompass everything from the Paseo del Parque to the majestic Alcazaba de Málaga. It should be noted that, in the coming months, the restaurant's capacity is expected to expand to 25 guests. Currently, there are about ten tables.

But the changes at Blossom with its reopening at the Palacio de la Aduana will also bring new features in terms of its gastronomic proposal. Schobert now offers two new tasting menus, one with nine courses, called the Essence Menu, and another with 15, the Confluence Menu.

The first of these, the Essence Menu will be available only during lunch hours and will cost 140 euros per person, with pairing for 85. It is described as "A shorter version, but no less intense, that brings together the most emblematic dishes from the previous menu. It condenses Schobert's culinary personality into a faithful extract, allowing an understanding of Blossom's character without needing to embark on the longer journey." Deer tartar, tartlet, ceviche, or scallop mark the menu.

The long course of the Confluence Menu will also be available during lunch hours and will be the only one offered for dinners. The price for this is 220 euros per person and the pairing for 110 euros. This tasting menu is described as "referring to the meeting of flavors, techniques, experiences, and general culture of the chef" and represents "an extensive and deep journey, designed to showcase the complexity of his cuisine, its name means meeting: of products, techniques, cultures, and emotions," concluding: "Each step is a link in a chain that, when joined, reveals the complete story." In addition to what was mentioned in the previous menu, Confluence also includes courses like mushroom soup, Panna Cotta, Rillete, and Blood Orange.

It is worth noting that the new schedule of the restaurant Blossom will be from Tuesday to Saturday for lunches and dinners (from 13:00 to 14:00 and from 19:00 to 20:30 hours), remaining closed on Sundays and Mondays. Additionally, the entire project of decoration, design, and interior design of the new space has been executed by the Malaga-based studio Lago Interioriza, which has achieved greater spaciousness, as well as comfort and elegance.
