The Delekta Review
Albert Ventura opened Coure in 2005 on Passatge de Marimon — basement room set deliberately off the avenue traffic of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi Held a Michelin star until losing it — many critics and regulars insist the cooking did not drop with the rating
Creative author cuisine — Catalan tradition with French technique; emphasis on seasonal fish, shellfish, and inventive vegetable courses Off-menu dishes a regular feature — ask the staff and the kitchen will play to what's been pulled fresh that morning
Roasted-chicken croqueta — the dish Repsol singles out as recommended; rotating fish and shellfish from the morning market Vegetable courses built around what the season delivers — the Repsol citation calls out the kitchen's balance of simplicity and creative author technique
Basement kitchen on Passatge de Marimon — Ventura has been cooking here since 2005, and the slightly hidden address suits the tone. Terrace in the passatge.
Passatge address keeps walk-up traffic minimal — the room is small enough that booking days ahead is the safer move
