The fine-dining restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental Barcelona hotel is run by Raül Balam, son of the legendary chef Carme Ruscalleda. In addition to his own undeniable individual talent, you’ll note several culinary traits he has inherited from his mother. Dominated by amber and gold tones, the modern dining space also features a window through which it’s possible to watch the team at work in the kitchen. The cuisine here showcases the underlying creativity of Catalan tradition, healthy Mediterranean produce, and the intrinsic distinctiveness of each flavour... all brought together in a special Els Moments menu that takes guests on a journey across the eleven themed menus served at the restaurant over its 15-year history and showcases epic signature dishes such as the tartlet of creamy caviar and quail eggs, the creamy rice with prawns “in the style of fishermen from Sant Pol”, and the vegetarian ceviche with corn textures.
