Nuclo

  • Nuclo. Av. Joan Carles I, 58. 08908 l'Hospitalet de Llobregat. Tel + 3493223489. Just in between El Prat Airport and Barcelona. This is a splendid place to eat and enjoy good life. One of Helena Martinez's contributions. The space was designed specially for the restaurant and it offers both comfort and light. We had the large taster's menu and it splendid. The chef was there to explain some of the cooking details. The cellar is just great. I recommend to visit it. Make your reservations well in advance.

Monvínic

  • Monvinic c/Diputació 249. Barcelona 08007. Tel +34 932 726 187. This was another contribution by Helena Martínez. It is just the appropriate place for wine lovers. The food is also something to remember: high quality materials with little intervention to get the best of flavours and textures. The prices are appropriate. They have around 4000wine references. Still the tables are not the mos appropriate for an intimate lunch or dinner. They a room for parties of 10 and more. Make your reservation.

Miramar

  • Miramar. Carretera Miramar 40. Barcelona 08038. Spain. Tel +34934418397. I was invited for the inaguration cocktail and the night view over Barcelona is just splendid. I returned with Helena Martínez, last friday, for lunch. We had the executive menú 21€ wine not included. The food is more than correct. The view is incredible (if you have a table by the window). The cellar is a bite expensive. All in all a place to enjoy company, food and view.

Arola

  • We returned yesterday (30/08/2009). Now they have two taster's menus. It keeps a high standard. Make your reservation.
  • Arola. Hotel Arts. c/Marina 19-21. Barcelona 08005. Tel + 934838090. Sergi Arola is now offering his high cuisine in Barcelona. The Menu is short BUT extraordinay. Quality and price are in perfect consonance. The taster's menu is round 45€. I found wines very expensive but the selection unique. They have an extraordinaty Terrace. You should reserve. They have chill music and I found it noisy. This a contribution by Helena Martínez. Give it a try.
