Xerta Restaurant

"If you’re unfamiliar with the natural bounty of the Ebro Delta, a visit to this restaurant in Barcelona is a must to savour the flavours of a region that has been declared a World Biosphere Reserve. Accessed via the lobby of the Ohla Eixample hotel, Xerta boasts a contemporary dining room with views of the kitchen. Chef Fran López, who trained and worked for three years with French maestro Alain Ducasse, showcases the flavours of his home region, providing guests with an opportunity to discover its superb gastronomy (eel, oysters, rice etc - 90% of his ingredients are sourced from here) from a creative perspective. The à la carte, which also features an array of delicious rice dishes and always showcases seasonal ingredients (sea cucumbers, galera shrimp, blue crab, wild mushrooms etc), is complemented by four set menus: Ejecutivo (lunchtimes, excluding public holidays, Monday to Friday), Delta, Degustación and Homenaje." - Michelin Inspector
