This bright restaurant with a strong family feel is run by several siblings. Everything here revolves around the counter in the centre of the dining space, with an unusual curved glass partition that enables guests to watch the live action in the kitchen. The traditionally inspired à la carte, which is well complemented by a daily menu, has a strong focus on the sea, although it also includes several top-quality meat dishes.
This iconic restaurant, which held three Michelin stars for many years, has adopted a new, much more informal bistro format featuring numerous images and mementoes that highlight the career of legendary chef Carme Ruscalleda. Her son Raül Balam Ruscalleda and Brazilian chef Murilo Rodrigues Alves are now in charge, offering a contemporary, Catalan-influenced menu that includes unpretentious dishes, Brazilian touches and a nod to the history of the restaurant.
