Another incredible meal at ⭐️⭐️ @disfrutarbcn in Barcelona. This time we were treated to a new dining experience down in the research & development kitchen. As always there were a bunch of new dishes from the ever forward moving team here alongside some of our favourite classics. With the newly developed ‘de-alchoholised’ drinks pairing that I mentioned in my last post (FB link in bio), the team at Disfrutar continue to astound with their advancements. If, like me, you never had the chance to eat at El Bulli, this is probably the closest you’ll come. My number one priority when planning a trip to Barcelona is to book a table here. It should be yours to.

Another stunning lunch back in May at @restaurant_joro in Sheffield. It was so nice to be finally catching up with friends and seeing restaurants springing to life back then and happy that now in October business seems to be finally back to normal. @cheflukefrench and the team's cooking and service standards were as good as ever and I am still
shocked that they have yet to be awarded a Michelin star but hopefully next time around as it's fully deserved IMO. Thanks to Luke and the team for taking such good care of us as ever. See you again soon I hope and best wishes for the exciting
new ventures.

Another visit to @direkte_boqueria . When we visited, the restrictions in place in Barcelona meant that restaurants were only allowed to open from 1300 to 1630, and with reduced capacity dependent on the size of the space. For a tiny 9 seat Japanese style counter you might have thought that would spell disaster. But Arnau has actually managed to increase business by putting tables in the space outside his tiny kitchen in the Boqueria market. So while we were just a socially distanced three inside at the counter, there were I think ten or twelve sitting outside for each of the two sittings that Arnau efficiently bangs out.
This was my fourth visit and I have to say that the food keeps getting better and better.
It’s one of my must visit restaurants in Barcelona now. Highly recommended.

Lunch at @bisavistavern in Barcelona. Your exuberant host and chef is Eduard Ros. Until only a few years ago he was a practicing lawyer with a passionate hobby for interesting wines and cooking. He then decided to quit his day job and open up Bisavis where he serves just a maximum of 12 counter seats single handedly. An incredibly good value and competently cooked tasting menu of produce driven dishes is accompanied by some fantastic and sometimes extremely hard to find wines from Eduard’s collection. I really enjoyed our lunch there and it was very telling that of the 8 people eating that day, 4 of us were chefs. If you can bag a seat there then you are in for a treat.

Lunch at @suculent_restaurant in Barcelona. David Egui sums the place up much better than I can here and I hope he doesn’t mind me nicking a small chunk of his excellent article on the restaurant.
Even though I was feeling a little under the weather the day I ate there, I could still recognise some of the brilliance in @tonetromero ‘s cooking. Thanks to some guy called Kristian for introducing me to this hidden gem 🙏🏻
“Despite its brilliant trajectory since it opened in 2012, Suculent remains a well-kept secret of Barcelona; one of those restaurant where other chefs go to feast on their days off. Without pretensions or luxuries, chef Toni Romero has spent years renewing and giving his own twist to traditional Mediterranean dishes, with hints and influences from other cultures.
Here the focus is not necessarily on technique – which is something that Romero knows quite well having spent years cooking at elBulli with the Adrià-brothers, Arzak and Akelarre – as it is on the flavor. Broths and sauces are where the real DNA of Suculent can be found and almost every dish is created with that in mind. The emotional energy of Barcelona is concentrated, reduced and turned into intense bases that cover every single vegetable, piece of fish or meat.”

My next stop in Barcelona was to the excellent @mont_bar Mont Bar where you are in the excellent hands of ex Tickets and Pakta chef's @agudo.fran Fran Agudo and @jaumemarambio Jaume Marambio. The food is as you would expect from these two exciting and innovative cooks. Tapas and small plates that are both inventive while respecting the traditional. My kind of place and I would highly recommend it when next you are in town.

Crusted beef in vines ashes

My first restaurant tour of 2021 was to Barcelona where the first stop was to ⭐️ Caelis in the Ohla Hotel. Not really a destination restaurant for me but one of the only options for an evening meal that isn’t bounced around on the back of a Deliveroo courier. Restaurants were closed for eat in dinner unless you were staying in the hotel that the restaurant was situated in.
As you know, I love a kitchen counter, and Caelis provides just that. Although quite a deathly quiet experience with just me at the counter and one other two top dining that night, overall it was a pleasant enough meal. I think they just need to pipe a bit of background music in there to liven it up a bit.
It was a longish tasting menu that was served at quite a pace as they require everyone to be finished and out at 10pm. No bad dishes and a couple of excellent ones. One dish of sea cucumber carbonara and another of roasted leek are definitely on the long list for best dishes of the year so far. Desserts did feel like an afterthought though.
