A delicious find with a personal note and the possibility to enjoy a delicious cuisine: Restaurant Uma (6. August 2022)
The Restaurant Uma is listed on the Guide Michelin, so I decided to give it a try. They have a standard “tasting menu” (EUR 110.00) which is not explained. You just get what you get. Which is a concept I like quite a bit – the fact that they would not share their menu with […]
Delicious breakfast selection: Restaurant Batuar @ Cotton House, Autograph Collection (7. August 2022)
When I’m in Barcelona, I like to stay at the Cotton House – it’s a lovely hotel with great rooms, a lovely rooftop pool, and extremely competent and friendly staff. On top of that, the Batuar has a small, but exquisite breakfast buffet which serves freshly cut ham as one of my favourite bites. On […]
An exquisite private club with delicious drinks: Nou Pipa Club (5. August 2022)
The Nou Pipa Club is a kind of ‘private club’ but it’s possible to enter without being a member or the like. You just have to know where and how you get in. Once that is sorted, you have to walk up a small stairway to the second floor where you find a door to […]
Truly local and interesting but far from mind-blowing: Restaurant Los Caracoles (5. August 2022)
The Los Caracoles has been on my recommendation list for quite a while. So, it was about time that I gave it a try and went to eat there. It’s highly recommended that you book a table in advance since it’s relatively crowded – even if you enter only at 9.30pm. I went for the […]
An great amazing lunch bargain: Restaurant Virens (5. August 2022)
While I have been in the vicinity of this area a couple of times, I somehow never realized the Virens – which might have been due to the fact that it is located in a hotel, and you don’t really grasp it from outside. However, since it was listed on the Guide Michelin app as […]
Perfect for a pre-sleep drink: Lobby Bar @ Palacio Santa Clara, Autograph Collection (7. May 2022)
When you spend the whole day walking, eating, and drinking, then it’s often time to hit the hay early in the evening. But not without making a last pit stop at the hotel bar. The “Moscow Mule” (EUR 14.00) was prepared swiftly and neatly and turned out to be quite good too. The Lobby Bar […]
An authentic, delicious and inexpensive Michelin star experience: Restaurant Lienzo (7. May 2022)
What you experience at the Lienzo is a traditional and authentic Michelin-starred experience for a very decent price. We went for the larger “14-course tasting menu Lienzo” (EUR 95.00) which is definitely an experience. That being said, I have to give you a heads up. The interpretation of 14 courses is rather liberal in this […]
Still one of the best places for Paella: Restaurant La Ruiá (7. May 2022)
It was so funny when I realized that the restaurant I had booked for lunch was a restaurant I had already been to four years ago when I was looking for a great Paella place. And well, sometimes you just end up in the very same place after many years. I only had good memories […]
