El Racó d'en Freixa
Youthful chef Ramon Freixa offers first-class investigative cooking with the incorporation of new products, and is thus known for creating truly surprising combinations. This vanguard cuisine is mixed with dishes of a more classic cut; amongst its specialties are the “coca y royal helada de cigalas con trufa de verano” (crayfish dish) and the “lomo y costilla de cordero con pesto de perifollo y piñones” (lamb ribs and pork). As far as desserts go, it is definitely worth trying the hot white chocolate tart as well as any of the carefully prepared home-made delicacies on offer. Dori Freixa is in charge of the dining room. Extensive and carefully chosen wine list, impeccable service, and a notable selection of national cheeses.

An elegant choice in which to enjoy the best of the Catalan delights. This stylish and exquisite establishment has its own “terraza” and stunning interior garden. Its menu contains seasonal dishes including “bogavante con arroz” (lobster with rice) and various scrumptious recipes from the Catalan kitchen. Navarrese Mercé knowns exactly how to modernize traditional dishes from the region with a distinct touch of elegance. It has a more than discreet bodega (winery) to accompany.
