A restaurant at the foot of the ski slopes with an ambience inspired by the mountains, a superb setting and spectacular views. The meticulous cuisine on offer here, under the baton of chef Jordi Grau and overseen by famous chef Francis Paniego, focuses on traditional cuisine brought up to date with contemporary textures and techniques. We particularly enjoyed the cheeks cooked three ways (grilled, breaded and with a pil-pil sauce). The à la carte, which is complemented by a seasonal tasting menu, offers half-plate options.

If you’re keen to try some authentic yet innovative Japanese cuisine, this restaurant bearing the signature of famous culinary maestro Hideki Matsuhisa, who has already tasted major success at Koy Shunka in Barcelona, is definitely this place. The Japanese-Mediterranean philosophy here is one that is not based on a fusion approach; instead, it is more of a reproduction of Japanese techniques but with the use of essentially Mediterranean ingredients, with addition of others from Galicia and Huelva. At the comfortable, U-shaped bar counter, with the kitchen in the middle of proceedings so that g

€€€Mediterranean Cuisine
In this simple restaurant, everything revolves around the Japanese-inspired counter and the figure of experienced Martín Comamala, who has worked in kitchens around the world (both in Latin America and Europe) and who takes on the role of chef d’orchestre here, taking care of absolutely everything.
