The "Traditional Kaiserschmarren", Spago's signature dessert meant for two to share, is essentially a GIGANTIC SOUFFLÉ-PANCAKE (if there's such a thing 😜). The biggest I've seen in my life, to be honest.
When it was first presented in all its poufed up perfection, we couldn't help but gasp at its splendour. A plate with a neat arrangement of house-made strawberry ice-cream, toasted almond flakes and a heap of warm strawberries, was also set in front of us. Catalin, our amazing waiter from Romania (and I use the word "amazing" most sincerely because his service was beyond stellar) proceeded to scoop huge chunks of the soufflé containing creme fraiche, rum and plump golden raisins onto our plates. Eating this dessert was like indulging in a piece of cloud that happened to be dressed in touches of earthly bounty.
As each Kaiserschmarren takes 16 minutes to rise in the oven, do note this dessert is only available at lunchtime as part of the restaurant's a la carte menu.
