Eixample

Number one restaurant in the world 2024 — Chefs Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch, and Mateu Casañas, all alumni of elBulli, with two Michelin stars and a culinary approach that redefines what a tasting menu can be. Multi-sphere techniques, hyper-precise plating, and a progression of 30+ courses that feels like a genuine art installation.

Albert Adrià's avant-garde tapas bar in Poble Sec — the most reservations-impossible table in Barcelona, delivering dishes that began as experiments at elBulli in a joyful, maximalist circus-inflected room.
