Can Jubany - Calldetenes, Barcelona

I love to try new places and my partner gave me a tasting menu, as we enjoyed it, it was a spectacular and romantic night, put us in a room where we were 4 tables, it seemed very intimate. Then began the food exhibition. without words, I still remember the so spectacular flavor that it had a simple pineapple or the shrimp of the palamos or the Iberian ham. the best gift they have made me, here we discover the restaurants with star michelín and since then we try to go once a year.

Where to start. when you get the first thing you can surprise you is that you have some orchards in the entrance where kale, tender onion, calçots, and other vegetables that will then serve you in the menu. the restaurant is very well decorated, careful with the smallest details. You have been received and kept your coat and accompanied to your table. have 3 options, menu, short menu and long menu. as it was for dinner we decided by the short menu (which is not short, and will not hunger.) the wine menu looks like a Bible with many references both national and international. Thank you that you have a subjective to advise and guide you in your choice. One of the things I didn't expect is that the bottle of wine won't leave it at the table, but they'll fill the cup while it's empty. Like the water service, you'll never stay with the empty glass for more than a few minutes. the service is very friendly and attentive, it is 10. to start, they bring you some tickets, including olives. almost all dishes are more traditional dishes. I will not go in to explain every dish so you could discover them, but among those who most dripped me was the liquid cod tortilla, the white shrimp pier, nandu canelon, lubina to the brasa and the rice of spiders. All the dishes are very good, we enjoyed all the dishes and in my case they returned clean to the kitchen. After desserts they bring you a box full of chocolates and chocolate chips. a highly recommended gastronomic experience. we will return. congratulations to the team.

Very correct menu, deserved Michelin star. The sommelier was completely right with the characteristics of the wine we were looking for. Thanks for making us enjoy!

We have been recently, good service and product quality. They deserve the good reviews, we will be back Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Can Jubany is about 100 km North of BCN and is Nandu Jubany 's vanguard kitchen in search of serious perfection of the farm to table concept. We found Can Jubany worthy of the trip from BCN as the cuisine was ingredient driven, not involving alien flavors just for weirdness sake as has become the gastronomic trend of some gastronomic kitchens. Can Jubany embraces the farm to table model and ensures the high quality of his raw materials by actually growing most them in the small garden and farm that is across the parking lot from the restaurant. These raw materials, fresh from his actual farm next door, are then refined to an extraordinary level while maintaining their recognizable flavor in his glass enclosed kitchen. During our tour of the small farm, asparagus, tomatoes, beets, peas, herbs and calçots were in season and the chicken and other fowl were providing both eggs and meat for the various dishes. Can Jubany might best be described as a down to earthy masia restaurant where locals gather together to enjoy excellent Catalan food on weekends together. There is also an outdoor patio were dinners gather post dinning to enjoy more libations and a cigar or two. For us, our food entertainment was lunch that took place over a 4 hour period and was titled A Stroll Around Catalunya and included: Pork 's tribute Jubany sausage, cracking cheek port, andpork belly foam in an edible rice cone Vegetable garden included red beet, blue cheese and prune Pumpkin gnocchi parmesan cheese serum and Iberian ham Puffed pastry with foie gras, caramelized figs and a little salad Codfish brandada cannelloni, onions and honey Sautéed ceps mushrooms with pork belly and egg yoke Sea cucumber rice with langoustines broth Hake cooked iat slow temperature with pickled vegetables Roasted young lamb with potatoes puree, vegetables and mushrooms Desserts included seasonal vegetables dessert; dessert of citrus fruits and textures; The wine pairings were also well selected/matched to complement the tastes of each course(s), and included: Carles Andreu Trepat Rose (D.O. Cava); Sameiras 1040 (D.O Ribeiro); Venus La Universal (D.O. Montsant); Rasim vi pansit blanc (D.O. Costers del Segre) ; and Mas Llunes Garnatxa Solera (D.O. Emporda). The Mas Llunes and Rasim were clearly some of the best wine we have ever tasted. Not surprising as the Mas Llunes was awarded the Great Golden VINAR 2013 of all 700+ competing wines from Catalonia. Our only observation regarding the sommelier was that they were very knowledgeable but were always asking 'what kind of wine would you like to have with the next course . So overall, as we have noted in another of our gastronomic adventures, Can Jubany is currently a Michelin 1* restaurant that in our exploration was producing Michelin 2* cuisine. Clearly you know when you have had a fantastic gastronomic experience when you can remember the highlights (many of them) months later. Now, if we could only figure out how to get from Barcelona to Can Jubany easily vs an expensive cab ride each way or stay in a hotel near by for the evening.
