Alkimia

Contemporary Catalan Fine Dining · Sant Antoni, Barcelona · €€€€

Awards: ★ Michelin · 3 Soles Repsol

Open since 2002

Alkimia is Jordi Vilà's Michelin-starred reimagining of Catalan cuisine, with one star and three Repsol Soles earned by treating escudella, suquet, and canelons as living material rather than heritage to preserve.

The Delekta Review

Chef Jordi Vilà — established figure in Barcelona's contemporary Catalan scene Six tables, eighteen seats — the room is small by design; Vilà has framed the size as the only way to give each guest full attention

Tasting menu with fish often the protagonist; à la carte alongside Catalan classics rebuilt rather than recreated — escudella, suquet, canelons treated as living material

Pa amb tomàquet deconstructed — clarified tomato juice with olive oil, breadcrumbs, and cured llonganissa sausage. Sarsuela — fresh fish broth poured tableside over fish and sea cucumber, with spicy picada. Leek tart with wild porcini, Pyrenean cream, and 25-year-old balsamic vinegar. Celeriac ribbon ravioli with large prawn. Ibérico suckling pork à la royale — braised meat quenelle with blood sauce and stuffed aubergine. Salt cod brandade with green beans and wasabi — a classic Catalan pairing with Japanese heat.

Open kitchen, futurist dining room — small, warm, deliberate Ronda de Sant Antoni at the western edge of the Eixample, near Mercat de Sant Antoni
