The Delekta Review
Two tasting menus: Albé €58 and The Experience €72; optional pairing €33 with Lebanese labels included Lebanese flavors meeting Catalan produce — fusion approached as personal thesis rather than concept
Labneh smoked in-house 72 hours with zaatar and roasted eggplant powder Albé bravas — meat demi-glace, brava sauce, Lebanese aioli, black squid-ink aioli (four sauces) Octopus prepared with five different cooking techniques Roasted cauliflower with brown butter, smoked yogurt, almond crunch Pluma ibérica tuned with Lebanese hand Chocolate tart finished with cardamom and orange-blossom caramel
Chef-owner Joey runs the kitchen — name 'Albé' means 'my heart' in Arabic
Eixample room: two separate indoor spaces plus outdoor terrace, plant-heavy Service genuinely hospitable rather than designed-to-impress
Tasting Albé €58, The Experience €72; pairing €33 (includes Lebanese labels)
