While definitely Spanish in its cuisine, the food was lighter, more inventive, and rather less meat-centric than we have found Spanish restaurants to be. This place would fit well at home in San Francisco, where we often dine in some of that city’s best restaurants. This would probably seem weird to most Barcelonans, but we were really delighted to find a restaurant that offered a chard dish that was light, beautifully prepared, and delightfully fresh tasting. Not that it is a vegetarian place by any means, but in our month visiting Spain we have gotten really tired of finding that veggie dishes are an afterthought, if not just totally absent, at so many restaurants. And too often not well prepared. We will be returning for our last dinner before returning home, and are really looking forward to it. Perhaps a little pricey by local standards, but well worth it in our opinion.

Minimal atmosphere with great tasty dishes and wide wine selection. Fish was fresh and perfectly served. Service is attentive. Highly recommended. read more Minimal atmosphere with great tasty dishes and wide wine selection. Fish was fresh and perfectly served. Service is attentive. Highly recommended.
