Catalunya; been hearing the name of this restaurant a lot lately. So I had decided to visit the hottest Spanish restaurant in town. I heard the booking is required at least a week in advance, but luckily a friend pulled some strings and was lucky to have a late seating on the evening.The place is rather tricky, so would suggest driving.

The place is rather tricky, so would suggest driving. The decoration inside is very nice: dark wood, dim lights, waiting bar etc.
As it was just the two of us, so we ordered light. We had:
White Asparagus – Not very often you can see White Asparagus on the menu so we went for it. Mediocre. Avocado & Lobster Roll - We really liked this dish. The combination is rather interesting especially with some Salmon Roe as decoration which adds to the texture. Ham, Cheese & Truffle Bikini – ALL TIME FAVOURITE! I have to admit is a personal LOVE of Truffles which I am putting up biased opinion.
The sandwich, when it was served, the bread was a bit soggy. Maybe it’s a one off; maybe not. One suggestion: eat immediately once served. Calamari with Lemon Mayo – Nicely Done. Hate eating over cooked calamari when it’s like eating chewing gum. The lemon mayo is with a hint of lemon mixed, very refreshing and goes exceptionally well with the calamari.
Suckling Pig – as there were only two of us, we ordered the tapas size, not the full portion. (The full portion with the entire pig put on the table is a bit off putting and cruel) It was not very impressive given the hype and words of mouth of it. I would say – mediocre. We did not have time for dessert, but honestly, the restaurant is average. I was rather disappointed after having high expectations of it.
The service, however, is very good. Staffs were super friendly and attentive. I would go back again if friends suggested it, but doubt I’d initiate the trip.
