The Delekta Review
Hofmann is chef Mey Hofmann's Michelin-starred restaurant in El Born, directly connected to Escola Hofmann — one of Spain's most respected culinary schools, which she founded in 1983. This dual identity is the restaurant's defining feature: the kitchen functions both as a top dining destination and as a training ground, bringing exceptional technical discipline to every course. The Catalan-Mediterranean tasting menu (roughly €80-110) is refined and technically precise, with particular strength in pastry and desserts — unsurprising given the school's reputation. The Born location places it in one of the city's most atmospheric neighbourhoods, and the hidden courtyard terrace is a genuine gem. Hofmann herself is a significant figure in Barcelona's culinary history. Prices are high but fair for Michelin-starred dining at this level of technical precision.
