Entrance:

One of the various small “trendy” restaurants by the MACBA.

Interior:

Transparent plastic chairs, art for sale, and a bar in the front. And nice waiters!

Soft sweet bread with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.


Textured Courgette (zucchini) and Apple soup €5.10

They were nice to split the one order of soup into three bowls for us. From the name, I thought this soup might be a risky choice since the last time I had a fruit soup it was cold and pretty disgusting. This one wasn’t! Super smooth and creamy, very light and very soft like a fuzzy blanket and baby food. Lightly salted and tasted like sweet mashed carrots, but no apple flavor, with a bunch of alfalfa sprouts on top. Kind of random.

Aubergine, Confit Potato and Brie Cheese Bake €6.50

Melty warm brie cheese, soft potatoes, and chewy eggplant underneath for texture. Drizzled with an oil and balsamic vinaigrette sauce and some kind of veggy sauce.

Razorshell and Tender Garlic Risotto €11.90

Split into 3 pretty little plates for us again. Soft and creamy garlic rice, grilled chewy scallop-like clams…mmm i love garlic!

Codfish Confit in Red Pepper Oil and Mashed Peas €13.50

I didn’t think the menu was serious when it said mashed peas! But the cod was really sitting in a bowl of salty really mashed up creamy (like the soup) peas. The papery thing on top tasted like wasabi peas without the wasabi, I guess like a pea chip!

Apricot Soup with Honey Ice Cream and Coconut Cream €5.70

Thick sweet apricot juice, some weird jiggly coconut jelly cream, and really strong natural-honey-flavored ice cream.

Chocolate and Passion Fruit Mille Foile €5.40

Sweet and fruity sour cake. Dense chocolate cake layered with slices of fruit topped with a sour passion fruit sauce.
