Barcelona Cuisine

The Catalonian gastronomy is characterized by its variety and influence of other cultures. Its origin goes back to the time of the Romans. Since then it has been obtaining recipes from the Italian, French, Greek, Provençal, Arabian and Jewish gastronomy. The result is a cuisine of great complexity with excellence.

The cuisine of Barcelona presents the characteristics of the traditional Mediterranean cuisine, in other words, it abounds in vegetables, fish and meats, all cooked with olive oil of the best quality.

Dinners:


Cod Risotto









Snails: Catalan style - grilled with olive oil and garlic








Zanzuela
- seafood stew
- fragrant, so different from a bouillabaisse, almost like a paella without the rice







Catalan Cod
- egg sauce over cod steak
- very pleasant







Almond Monkfish











Desserts:






Chocolate Mousse







Tiramisu
- perfect balance of sponge fingers and cream mascarpone
- good form





Raspberry Ricotta









Excellent truffles

Spain has some really good food particularly pork and seafood with very unique flavours and totally brilliant desserts. If chocolates are that good in spain, I can't wait to be in Belgium or Switzerland
