Dedicated chef Sergio Ruiz is at the helm of this new restaurant, serving up classic Mediterranean-inspired cuisine inside the city’s newest luxury hotel, the Almanac, which opened late last year.
Ruiz’s team, which includes Ferran López, Joan Lleixà and Lucila Canero, has created a menu for every taste—from charcoal-grilled wild duck magret to the typical Catalan escalivada (smoky roast vegetables)—made using locally sourced ingredients. Canero is also an outstanding pastry chef, with a corner in the hotel selling take-away sweet treats. The chic interior, designed by Jaime Beriestain, hints at Art Deco splendour with undertones of classic luxury. Black marble and velvet furnishings continue the theme in the accompanying bar and two private dining areas, all of which are accessible from the street.
