This institution in the upper reaches of Barcelona, which has played host to a number of chefs who have gone on to win their own Michelin stars, reflects the love affair that its founder chef, Mey Hofmann, had with food, a legacy that she has passed down to her daughter Silvia and her expert teaching staff. In the restaurant itself, featuring staff from the school and a large picture window through which guests can watch activity unfold in the kitchen, an à la carte-style menu is available at lunchtime (along with a slightly more refined Gastronómico Mediodía menu). In the evening, these are replaced by two extensive tasting menus (Gastronómico Noche and Luxury). The focus here is on modern fusion cuisine with strong roots in tradition, which is continually brought up to date in terms of the pairing of ingredients, technique and presentation. The desserts here are always a delight!
