Barcelona

As a foodie, I did a lot of research on restaurants before traveling, and I selected this restaurant before arriving in Barcelona based on positive reviews in one of my food magazines.

I could not recommend this restaurant more to someone who really enjoys well-prepared, well-presented food. The service was excellent, attentive but not overdone, and despite my terrible Spanish, they were extremely accommodating. The food was fantastic, with fresh and creative ingredients, some locally sourced. The wine selection was great (Catalan, Spanish, and other!) and were also well priced (at least by American standards, where wine is overpriced!). Do start with some cava.

I eat out a lot, at top restaurants around the world, and I must admit that this one will rank towards the top, mostly for the food quality.

They seem to have moved locations as of late, but the atmosphere is still very romantic.
