Koldo Royo

An inspiring experience. Yesterday, in Mallorca, we were there for dinner. Helena Martinez suggested this 1 Michelin start restaurant. It is a cosy and lovely place. They had two ambiances and different taster menus. We were at the bistrot and the daily menu which was just perfect.

Baby Beef RUBAIYAT

I had the opportunity of closing a circle. Back in july of 2000 I visited Cabaña Las Lilas and reported it. Since then I had the opportunity to visit their Baby Beef RUBAIYAT in Madrid and now, here in Sao Paulo, I tried both Baby Beef RUBAIYAT and Figueira. All were recommendations by Helena Martínez, she just love the food and the ambiance.

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.
