Petit Comite - Barcelona

Traditional Catalan cooking by Fermí Puig, the Michelin-starred chef from Hotel Majestic’s Drolma, is the theme in this contemporary design space, the Petit Comitè, serving around the clock from midday to midnight.

Local top chefs have started to move on…or back, as they return to the traditional dishes of the Catalan kitchen, reinventing old classics with great raw ingredients and improved techniques, treating your palate to new old specialties like poached eggs, stuffed breaded onions and traditional favorites including trinxat (chopped cabbage with potato and bacon) or caneloni amb béchamel de tòfona (canelonni with truffled béchamel) to the traditional dessert s like mel i mató (fresh cheese and honey),  crema catalana, pears in red wine and chocolate fritters.

It’s only the food that’s rustic, though – the interior is well up-to-date and keeps the rest of your senses firmly in a modern cosmopolitan setting.

This bistro is Puig's attempt to open up to a less élite public, serving more affordable versions of the Catalan classics.

Dishes are small and meant to be ordered in a tapas style
