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

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

This restaurant in the Eixample district, whose name teaches us that the word also refers to the flowing wind (or the so-called “divine wind”), is run by Enric Buendía, a chef trained at prestigious establishments such as Mugaritz and the three-Michelin-starred Disfrutar. Today, through this project, he is leading what he calls the “silent revolution.”He applies the techniques he has learned in pursuit of a creativity that revisits Asian cuisine with a marked Mediterranean influence, using seasonal ingredients, striking presentations, fusion twists, and cultural blending, as well as nods to Ca

A dual experience that fuses haute cuisine and architecture? You'll find few more interesting options, as this restaurant is located on the first floor of the famous Casa Fuster (now Hotel Casa Fuster), a jewel of Catalan Modernisme designed in the early 20th century by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. In its luminous and elegant dining room, with large columns flanking the incredible window and an undulating ceiling that reminds us of the titanium plates of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, you can enjoy a unique tasting menu with a contemporary-creative style, with the option of food and wine pairi
