Bussy Days

The last days have been very bussy and it is time to report the places I have been.

On Thursady I was visiting Madrid and I went to have lunch to Calle 54. It was a recommendation by Helena Martínez. My first suprise was that they belong to Group Paradis, that is always a quality assurance. The food was correct as expected, not expensive. The wine list is correct in variety and prices. The service was correct.

• Calle 54, Paseo de la Habana 3. 28036 Madrid. Tel +34 902141412. Decoration is stylish and the food is correct, not expensive. The wine list is correct in variety and prices. The service was correct. They have live jazz at nights. They have a valet service. A recommendation by Helena Martínez. Last visited 2006.
  

Friday, in Barcelona, we for lunchtried Indigo a restaurant at the Hilton Diagonal Mar.

• Indigo, Passeig Taulat, 262-264. 08019. Barcelona Tel +34 93507000. A new place in town. They have a set menu 30€ and magnificient terrace. The list of wine is interesting, including entries from new producers but very expensive. The service was perfect. We were there to try Indian food, there it was a taster menu, but it was dissapointing.
  

For dinner we tried Gurú an ethnicrestaurantclub.

• Gurú, Noude la rambla 22. 08001 Barcelona. Tel +34 933180840. A Chill-out lounge with restaurant. The food is irregular but I have a general positive opinion. I had a very nice strawberry gazpacho and a black rice. The wine list is short but in the right order of prices. The music and ambiance is chill-out. A lot of young people around. It deserves the try.

Just before writing this entry I tried Bubbles at Gate C in Schipol Airport.

• Bubbles, Schipol Airtport Gate C. This an extraordinary Oyster Bar. Good quality, good prices.
