Dear Food Lovers,

Today we want to share with you our recent experience from one of the most interesting restaurants in Barcelona.

The last Saturday was fulfilled with excitement, enjoyment and a great taste.

Disfrutar is located in a heart of Eixample neighborhood, close to the middle of Avenida Diagonal, maybe the longest street in the city.

Surroundings seemed to be rather typical for Barcelona’s architecture and design but with taking the first steps and with coming into the restaurant, we felt like…

…home.

Not our home but somebody’s who is very easy-going, self-confident and aware of what should be done. We felt entertained and hosted.

We ordered a menu „Festival” which constists of 19 courses.

Here you have several examples of our favorites:

Corn tart with foie gras.

Fried eggplant with katsuobushi.

Langoustine in “suquet”

The word Disfrutar means “to enjoy”. Couldn’t be better!

Disfrutar is run by three chefs: Mateu Casanas, Oriol Castro and Eduard Xatruch, who worked together at El Bulli. For those who don’t recognize – El Bulli was awarded “The best restaurant in the world” by the magazine Restaurant. El Bulli is actually closed since 2011.

For some people it could be bad news but for Mateu, Oriol and Eduard it was a chance to create a new concept, just like Disfrutar.

We don’t want to say too much. It is better to experience it by yourself.

If you come to Barcelona and you love food, this place is absolutely worthy a visit. You can sample there a pure taste of Catalan cuisine. The best and already known tastes are displayed in a new, unexpected form.

Chocolate – Orange – Olive oil

“Tarta al whisky”

And you, what do you think about visiting such restaurants? Do you prefer traditional form of  food or you fall in love with molecular gastronomy?

Waiting for your comments!

Have a great weekend,

FLC
