Jordi Vilà the Chef of Alkimia (alchemy in English) is part of the young guard of the New Catalan cuisine along with Chefs from Comerç 24. A new wave initiated several years ago by Ferran Adrià with the success which one knows.
Hidden in the Raval this restaurant with minimalist decoration offers imaginative and very colored food, in only one word: astonishing!
To discover the creativity of Jordi Vilà, who takes traditional dishes from the region keeping the soul of the classics but giving them a modern edge, we can only advise you to choose one of the two tasting menus (65 and 84€).
This will be the best way to enjoy this dish called “Dentro de Mar” or “the ocean and its shells”, a very iodized composition bathing in an amazing blue bubble or the very graphic “seabass with ink of cuttlefish and coconut milk”. Unforgettable desserts and very beautiful chart of the wines.
A major Chef… We like very, very much Alkimia. Do not forget to book!!

Best rice restaurant - Mary Hearte (20 Jan 2014 - 16:36)
Good recommendations! One other I would highly recommend is Paella del Arte, right next to La Pedrera. They have an amazing selection of homemade paellas, the black rice paella and the royal paella with lobster being my favorites!
The best rice - Johan (20 Jun 2012 - 10:30)
The best rice is in LA VIBLIA, in la Barceloneta. In the same building as the W Hotel. It's fantastic! very good wines and location. My fav., the rice with lobster!
rice in Barcelona - same for me (13 Feb 2012 - 15:00)
