Delicious gelato by the Roca brothers: Rocambolesc Barcelona (12. January 2020)
I was recommended the Rocambolesc by a friend as a place which produces ice cream created by the Roca brothers (the guys running ‘El Celler de San Roca’ which was one the best restaurant in the world) so I decided to give it a try given I’ll be trying the Roca brothers in about 5 […]
Perfect for breakfast: Restaurant Barra de Tapas by Carles Abellan @ W Barcelona (12. January 2020)
As mentioned, the breakfast selection in the Barra de Tapas is definitely better than in the Salt. It ranges from a variety of jams … … to pastries … … nuts and dried fruit … … cereals … … salmon … … cheeses … … fresh fruit … … and even more fruit … … […]
Great view onto the harbor and good food: Restaurant 1881 by Sagardi (11. January 2020)
The 1881 by Sagardi is nice due to the setting of the restaurant which is located on the top floor of the Museu d’Història de Catalunya and provides – especially during the day – a nice view onto Barcelona. I decided to try a couple of different things and went for “1/2 Iberian Ham Croquettes” […]
Just lost its Michelin star – and rightly so: Restaurant Barra de Tapas by Carles Abellan @ W Barcelona (11. January 2020)
When I checked in at the W, I was told that they have a Michelin star restaurant on premise. Turns out, they had one and had just lost their star in 2020. And I think that shows. I went for the “white and cured anchovy marriage” (EUR 6.40) which was enjoyable because I really like […]
Decent breakfast selection right at the beach: Salt Restaurant & Beach Club @ W Barcelona (11. January 2020)
What I always like when staying in a W is the breakfast selection. I was told that the breakfast is served in two locations, the Salt as well as the Barra de Tapas and that the offer is the same. Only the next day, I found out that it isn’t entirely. The selection in the […]
An interesting back alley experience: Restaurant Passadis del Pep (10. January 2020)
I was recommended the Passadis del Pep, so I decided to give it a try. And frankly, overall, I liked the experience. it is a bit tricky to find the restaurant overall but once you’re in, they explain to you how the concept work, which is basically, they bring you a variety of different plates […]
Incredibly swift lunch – and even enjoyable: Restaurant Gentile (9. January 2020)
It is a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Gentile and it turned out that it has improved on its lunch service capabilities. I went for the “small menu salad” which was good, however, they are not really aware of the concept of “mouth sized pieces”. Frankly, some of the leaves were about […]
Authentic location but not persuading Italian dishes: Restaurant La Baracca (8. January 2020)
The La Baracca remains a reliable place for good Italian food. Once you’re seated, you get a little plate of pizza slices which are simple yet nice. We went – as a starter – for a plate of cold cuts and some burrata which offers a nice selection of different, tasty Italian cured meats. The […]
