€€€€

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

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. In addition to the different-sized tables in the

In this bustling restaurant, where the closeness of the tables is more reminiscent of Asian restaurants, discover a tapas concept that has been taken to another level, hence its view that ‘tapas are not just a way of eating, but a philosophy for life’.Located just a few steps from Barcelona’s Museu d’Art Contemporani, Dos Palillos has a simple sake bar by the entrance, where you can eat without booking ahead, and a second more gastronomic U-shaped counter around an open kitchen, enabling guests to observe the full preparation process. In this second more attractive and elegant space, you will

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

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 fine-dining restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona hotel is run by Raül Balam, son of the legendary chef Carme Ruscalleda. In addition to his own undeniable individual talent, you’ll note several culinary traits he has inherited from his mother.Dominated by amber and gold tones, the modern dining space also features a window through which it’s possible to watch the team at work in the kitchen. The neo-traditional cuisine here showcases the underlying creativity of time-honoured Catalan traditions, healthy Mediterranean produce, and the intrinsic distinctiveness of every flavour... a

Alkimia has a somewhat surprising location inside the Moritz beer factory, which has been redesigned as a gourmet complex. Once you’ve rung the bell to get in, on the first floor you’ll find two different spaces (the bistro-style Alkostat and the Alkimia restaurant itself, in front of the kitchen), both featuring attractive designer details, avant-garde references to the marine world, alongside reclaimed classical furnishings that recall the interiors of Barcelona’s former aristocratic mansions. In the gastronomic dining room, chef Jordi Vilà conjures up fresh, contemporary cuisine which is de

This restaurant, which always has a waiting list, is characterised by the inventive spirit of the three chefs at the helm (Eduard Xatruch, Oriol Castro and Mateu Casañas) who have made creativity their watchword – clearly their time working alongside Ferran Adrià at El Bulli made a real impression! What's so special about this place? Firstly, the food itself is highly innovative, with the chefs playing with shapes, textures and flavours and exhibiting indisputable craftsmanship. In addition, a constant stream of innovations emerges from their laboratory, such as their “solid bubbles” or, even
