A Barcelon setting embodied by the essence of Mediterranean soul

 

The cooking pedigree of elBulli alum Alain Devahive buttresses the playful yet technically sophisticated Catalonian fare put forth by the team at this young establishment in Keong Saik. The dishes are inventive enough to intrigue, yet sufficiently comforting to avoid pretension: think salty spheres of olive essence, potato foam with tender octopus, and mushroom purée as a crispy croquette. In the spirit of Barcelona—the chef’s inspiration—portions are largely for two, and meals are best structured like tapas: drinks to start, with a couple of plates to share. Finish with creamy cheesecake, so popular it has a dedicated store one street down. The interiors by Spain-based Lázaro Rosa-Violán are worth a mention: melding the rustic charms of a country villa with the laid-back breeziness of the Mediterranean, it’s an atmospheric spot for business lunches, romantic dates, and everything in between.
