Catalan dishes with Lebanese influences, tasting menu, wine pairing
"Albé is what happens when a Lebanese restaurateur moves to Barcelona, falls in love with the produce, and starts combining Lebanese techniques with Catalan ingredients. The modern, plant-filled space is the perfect place for a daytime lunch (when the front dining area by the entrance fills with natural light), but it works equally well for a romantic, mood-lit dinner in the cozy interior room. Dishes include stuff like smoked labneh with pita, baklava topped with Palamós red shrimp tartare, and beef tongue served with Lebanese hummus." - isabelle kliger

"Albé means “my heart” in Lebanese, and the team—expertly led by owner-come-maître d’Joey Attieh—genuinely loves what they do. You’ll see what we mean when you come. Albé is one of a kind. Come here when you're ready for some different flavors and a new approach to cooking local produce—hamachi tiradito that comes with a Lebanese leche de tigre, savory baklava topped with red prawns from Blanes, a maitake mushroom with cashew cream and tabbouleh gel. The beautifully balanced tasting menu is a great way to try all the classics at once—and it’s a steal at €58 for nine dishes. As for drinks, try your first Lebanese wine and pair your dessert with their cardamom and orange blossom-infused take on the espresso martini." - Isabelle Kliger, Gemma Askham
