The Ohla Barcelona hotel’s fine-dining restaurant boasts an unmistakable appearance, due to the ‘eyes’ or ‘ocular globes’ designed by artist Frederic Amat that adorn its neo-Classical façade.Here, French chef Romain Fornell, awarded the Legion of Honour of the French Republic, has introduced his new culinary vision that reinterprets concepts and recipes through cooking that features French-influenced Mediterranean cuisine, seasonal ingredients, identifiable flavours and astute pairings, plus a desire to involve guests in their dining experience.

€€€€

At this discreet Japanese restaurant, hidden behind a large door that you have to knock on to gain access and which almost seems to be a 'secret' address given its scarce signage, the concept is based around much more than a working philosophy as the skill of the chef is viewed as a veritable art form here. In this resolutely contemporary space, you’ll find a somewhat surprising wood-fired oven in the centre of the dining room, large fish-maturing cabinets, an impressive U-shaped counter where you can watch the culinary action unfold, and more conventional tables for those who prefer a more in

It's unusual to find spin-offs that manage to live up to the standards set by the original, but that is exactly what has happened in this incredible restaurant, named after the town in which legendary chef Martín Berasategui built his culinary empire. Here, Paolo Casagrande, the protégé of this San Sebastián culinary maestro, puts his own spin on exquisite dishes first conceived by his mentor, showcasing them in a more avant-garde setting (undulating ceilings that mimic waves, ethereal lamps that resemble jellyfish, golden tones, etc.). The menu, created by both chefs, with à la carte and set

€€€€

Located in the luxurious Hotel Arts and overseen by award-winning chef Paco Pérez, this restaurant serves highly nuanced Mediterranean cuisine that is enriched with international influences and the occasional nod to Asian fusion cooking. The governing principles in the kitchen are underpinned by an utmost respect for seasonal ingredients and a clear goal to elevate traditional dining concepts such as “sea and mountains”. To highlight this, the chef particularly enjoys cooking with sea cucumbers from the Mar d'Amunt and produce from vegetable gardens close to it, hence their special hint of sal

The fine-dining restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona hotel is run by Raül Balam, son of the legendary chef Carme Ruscalleda.

It is complemented by two set menus (one a three-course meal only available at lunchtime during the week, and a second more extensive tasting menu-style option).
