Lunch at ⭐️ Alkimia in Barcelona. One of my favourite places to eat in the city. It was an interesting meal this time as I was enjoying the tasting menu, but as I was eating with my friend Alejandro who pretty much lives in this restaurant, he was ordering ‘off menu’ A La Carte. So I had the best of both worlds being able to taste both the intricate plates and also the more traditional side of Jordi Vila’s cooking. It was a fantastic lunch but I would say that having had more than a couple of visits here where I can still remember some of the dishes in the tasting menu, this time I was a little envious of what my companions were eating (although they very generously let me taste). Still one of my must visit restaurants when in Barcelona.

Pic 8, 9. Various desserts such as Sorbet of apple basil and celery, Cheesecake gorgonzola mascarpone, Creme caramel with milk ice cream, Chocolate cake with great chocolate and consistency, crazy good Tiramisu, perfect Lemon soufflé, citrus ice cream with refreshing fruit salad, crispy Chocolate cookies so “so fah” (crumbly) with chocolate filling, and Hazelnut cream with almond flour. I know sounded like we had the whole dessert menu and they were ALL SO GOOD!

Having a meal that was fantastic from start to finish is not easy to come by. This meal at Al Kostat is one of those rare meals.
_
To me this is always the kind of restaurants I love the most. It is modernisation of classic flavors not through technology but by using the best ingredients and reinterpreting classic flavors with personal touches.
Authentic yet original. They are where you can find traditions and new excitement coexist.
_
Most visitors from overseas tend to visit Alkimia because of the star, but locals will tell you Al Kostat is not to be missed. This is where I want, and will come back over and over, whenever I am in Barcelona 💞

So-so food at Alkimia.
The massive oyster is as big as a steak but tastes astonishingly good, even the texture is great.
They have a massive fire pit for grilling and claim that it is much better than anything Extebarri has.

Back in 2014 Alkimia was housed in Gracia, before it moved to its current place in Principal.
We had a multi-course early dinner that day with our then 3 year old daughter. A walk-in we were reluctant to bring her to such a fine dinning experience, concerned how they would meet her (this being the first time we had on of our children at a michelin resturant, but this would not the last).

Back in 2014 Alkimia was housed in Gracia, before it moved to its current place in Principal.
We had a multi-course early dinner that day with our then 3 year old daughter. A walk-in we were reluctant to bring her to such a fine dinning experience, concerned how they would meet her (this being the first time we had on of our children at a michelin resturant, but this would not the last). That concern was put to shame, they made a couple of dished for her (a Canneloni with chicken and ice) for a very reasonable price and made crayons availed to her and the waiter that severed us was very good with her and quite good service generally.
We got (as shown on the pictures) a soup, a filled pasta (a type of ravioli I think) meat and ice cream and chocolate
Such a nice experience we swore we would come back (and we will!)
