Restaurant

Alkimia

Alkimia - Barcelona

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!!

Opening hours : Monday to Friday: 13:30-15:30 / 20:00-22:30

Restaurant

Els Pescadors

Els Pescadors - Barcelona

We believe that " Els Pescadors" is one of the finest fish restaurants in Barcelona. Located quite far from the center, in Poble Nou, it's worth go there. First for the place on a little square with trees, very pleasant. Then for the dishes, mostly fishes, every plate is a delight try: calamares, gambas, arroz, Suquet dels pescadors, Angler fish fricandó, Tuna with pickled Figueres onions, Hake with romesco bread and leek mousseline sauce...

 

A great contemporary cooking.. Perfect to invite your best friends.

A perfect day at the beach…

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

  4. rice in Barcelona - same for me (13 Feb 2012 - 15:00)

    I'll go to one of these as soon as in BArcelona. For me rice is really something to try in spain and catalonia. can't wait!

  5. va per un riso all'aragosta ;-) - pepe (12 Dec 2011 - 12:45)

    Non sono fanatico della paella.
