"A dual experience that fuses haute cuisine and architecture? You'll find few more interesting options, as this restaurant is located on the first floor of the famous Casa Fuster (now Hotel Casa Fuster), a jewel of Catalan Modernisme designed in the early 20th century by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. In its luminous and elegant dining room, with large columns flanking the incredible window and an undulating ceiling that reminds us of the titanium plates of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, you can enjoy a unique tasting menu with a contemporary-creative style, with the option of food and wine pairings. Jerez-born chef Rafa de Bedoya, always under the guidance of the award-winning Paulo Airaudo (Amelia by Paulo Airaudo, in Donostia-San Sebastián), brings coherence and flavour based on local, seasonal products. Outstanding dishes? We really liked their Iberian Flan, Maresme tear peas and sea urchin, as well as their reinterpretation of the typical Mel i mató (fresh cheese and honey). Excellent selection of wines by the glass!" - Michelin Inspector
"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
