Rafa Zafra's restaurant inside Hotel El Palace — the former Ritz on Gran Via. Mediterranean menu built around caviar, oysters and Catalan produce; the chef behind Estimar, in the city's most ornate dining room.
The Delekta Review
Chef Rafa Zafra — trained under the Adrià brothers; also runs Estimar in El Born Inside Hotel El Palace (the former Ritz Barcelona) — marble, mouldings, original teardrop chandeliers
Caviar and oysters as the declared obsessions; Catalan tradition (Santa Pau beans, canelones de centolla) anchors the menu La Burguersía at the entrance — 100g wagyu burger on potato brioche with cheddar and jalapeños, €24; deliberate accessible counterpoint to the main room
Brioche toasts with butter and caviar elBulli-style shrimp carpaccio Santa Pau beans with Iberian pancetta Canelones de centolla (spider-crab cannelloni)
