The Experience
From Michelin Guide
A restaurant with a gastro-bar ambience that is becoming a must for every visitor to Barcelona. In this delightful setting featuring elegant decorative detail you’ll find an array of traditional and contemporary dishes, all of which showcase high levels of technique, plus presentation that is so refined that it is hard not to take a photo! In keeping with the philosophy of the owners, who hail from the small village of Mont (in the Val d’Aran), the cuisine here is based around fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The à la carte and tasting menu feature inventive snacks, innovative tapas, and small sharing plates, always accompanied by impeccable and attentive service. We particularly enjoyed the superb seasonal suggestions (morel mushrooms, Reixago cheese and pork cheek, peas with vanilla, clams and hazelnuts, etc) but there are also dishes available all year round that are a must, such as the spectacular Iberian sobrasada mochi with Mahón cheese!
