The Delekta Review
Cuiner 2024 award at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona — both chefs jointly named cooks of the year Featured in The New York Times's 36-Hours-in-Barcelona guide
Beatrice Casella from Turin — pastry-trained, formerly head chef at Hisop (one Michelin star) Iván García came from the Direkte Boqueria pass as second chef, a kitchen with its own Bib Gourmand
No waiters — chefs plate, serve, and explain dishes directly from the bar Italian-Catalan crossover — small shared plates, no fixed menu, daily rotation around what the market sent Wine programme leans natural — local Garnatxa and Xarello alongside Italian Nebbiolo and French Gamay; pink wine on tap from €4.50
Tennis-ball macaroni croqueta (€3.50); celeriac with hazelnut and smoked stracciatella; bravas-style battered white shrimp Mackerel with endive and bagna cauda; tortellini in broth; quail gnocchi with green beans; banana popcorn ice-cream sandwich for dessert
No waiters — chefs plate and serve directly from the bar, explaining each dish themselves.
Book the moment a date appears — the room is small and the awards have made next-month bookings the norm
