Aleia Restaurant at Casa Fuster Hotel
Fine dining restaurant · la Vila de Gracia
Pg. de Gràcia, 132, Gràcia, 08008 Barcelona, Spain
"A great option for indecisive diners, Aleia offers one tasting menu, that's it. It costs €178. There are two pairings to go with it, alcoholic priced at €108, non-alcoholic for €78. From scallop in cava with soubise, or French onion sauce, to the decadent grilled crayfish in a sherry beurre blanc with crayfish head “air”, or the Iberian “flan”—like a dessert but with the flavor of the finest Iberico pork—with chantarelles, melon and smoked eel —that sounds like it shouldn’t work but totally does, everything is perfect. Even the desserts (like the astonishing avocado cream with caviar) are refreshing and leave you feeling not-too full (quite a feat after 13 courses). Few spaces in Barcelona are more elegant or romantic than Aleia. Better still, the food more than lives up to the hype." - Isabelle Kliger, Gemma Askham
"At Aleia, enjoy a fascinating experience that you’ll rarely find elsewhere, thanks to its combination of fine dining and architecture, and a location on the first floor of the famous Casa Fuster (nowadays the Hotel Casa Fuster), a jewel of Catalan Modernism designed in the early 20C by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. In its bright dining room, with large columns flanking its stunning windows and an extraordinary undulating ceiling that is reminiscent of the titanium panels adorning the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, savour a single tasting menu (choose between the long or short option) with a creative and contemporary vision, on which Jerez-born chef Rafa de Bedoya, always under the supervision of the award-winning Paulo Airaudo, showcases consistency and flavour, alongside a few French and Asian flourishes, and with its foundation in locally sourced seasonal ingredients." - Michelin Inspector
