La Barceloneta area…
Alkimia Restaurant, Barcelona
This is probably my most favourite fining meal of this trip. All the meals we had were great but this was most suited to my taste.
The restaurant is located on a more local street so best to go by taxi.
The interior is very simple.
I like how they use veggie instead of flowers to decorate the tables.
We chose the “Traditions Menu” on their Midday Menu which is a really good deal considering the quality we got.
This is fun – the liquid version their popular bread with olive oil and tomato sauce.
Cod fish with green beans
Blue bouillabaisse
Leek pie
Papillote banana with coffee ice-cream
Park Guell, Barcelona
Park Guell is up on the hill (though not very high) and the hop-on-off tourist buses only get you to the foot of the hill. To walk up it is about 5-10mins. Buying tickets online is recommended because if you buy on the day, you may be allocated with an entry time that is 1 or 2hrs later on a busy day.
Restaurant Lasarte by Martín Berasategui, Barcelona
Our first fine dining in Barcelona … our reservation was 8.30pm, for us it is already quite late but apparently people still walked in passed 10pm! We chose the tasting menu and it took approx 3 hours.
Butter in various flavours
3 dishes of appetizers 
Starting our 1st course…
Here is the menu we had…
All dishes were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Overall the tasting menu portion was a bit too much for me but I managed to try everything. Flavours are strong but mostly in the garnish so the freshness of the meat or seafood was not compromised. Service was good too, very attentive yet not overdoing it.
