Hidden in a small street behind the Mercat de la Boqueria there is this venetian tavern worth visiting. The door is discreet. It does not attract too much attention; in fact, if they hadn’t taken me there, I wouldn’t have gone in. After the green door, a curious-looking place makes you feel comfortable from the first moment. It is informal in appearance...
I did not expected to enjoy so much! It is true that they had spoken to me well and it is also true that the photos and comments that I saw on the networks excited me a lot; but I always think “we’ll see“. The restaurant is located in the center of Sant Cugat; specifically, it is between two locations that I frequent a lot and it made me not...
If you have the opportunity to go to the Congost de Mont-rebei, which is one of the most wonderful destinations in Catalonia, I recommend you to stay at the “Hotel Terradets” in Cellers. Its location is perfect: it is close to the Congost and the rooms have an amazing views. The restaurant “Del Llac” is placed in one of the hotel buildings...
I will always say that the “Llevant” hotel left me out of play. It is not easy to risk to offer an extremely modern space in the middle of the promenade of Llafranc. The one that most fell in love with me is the contrast between its modernity (more typical of the coldness of a big city) and the kindness of the staff (so close that they managed to...
I knew this restaurant thanks to social networks. A simple photo woke up my curiosity and from this moment, you can already imagine what were the next steps: look for photos of the dishes on the internet and read reviews. Everyone spoke well and the dishes promised. It is in the center of Bonmatí, a small town (which I had not even heard of) that is located just 20...
Axol is one of those places that does not leave indifferent. It is located in a house in a residential neighborhood in Cabrils. It is not placed in a busy street; it means that if you do not go on purpose, you will never pass in front. I loved outside. It is a construction of straight lines, rather modern and with contrasts of whites and blacks. The garden is well...
As they themselves describe: “It’s an unusual restaurant. A meal house with a different and actual formula”. I love watching that there are still people who are able to look for, in such a mature sector, the differential trait to offer an authentic thing. The concept is really great. There is no menu, no daily menu, no tasting menu. They have a...
When I wrote about the hotel “El Convent 1613” in La Fresneda I made a special mention to the restaurant just because the simple fact of being located in an old church. Aesthetically, I found it amazing. But what most amazed me was how the architecture has respected a space full of contrasts: modernity vs history. Extraordinary design with glass and...
I will always defend the places that have soul. And this is one of them. I like it very much. From outside, it drew my attention and the attention of everyone who passed in front. The place is punished by the sea; but, at same time, it is very careful from the owners. The blue of the doors with the white letters seemed to me a great idea: very practical and...
One day I received a call from a school friend. She wanted me to know a relatively new restaurant. I had not references about it; but I was sure that the recommendation would be good… because she had never done this before! It would be a special place! ;-) Immediately I asked her the name of the place to find out about it. It already captivated me… it is...
I spend many hours browsing social media. I am constantly looking for new dishes from the restaurants that I already know and distrusting those restaurants that I do not know. I must say, however, that with age I have gained in judgment. I do not know if it is very correct for me to say it, but it is true that I no longer dazzle myself with anything. The bar is...
2017 was a turning year for “Casa Leopoldo”. I honestly think that my admired Romain Fornell – about whom I have spoken so many times in “La Plassohla” (book table here), “Caelis” (book table here), “Café Turó” (book table here) or at “La Taverna del Mar” (book table here) – and Oscar Manresa (whom I had the great pleasure...
