The Delekta Review
La Sosenga takes its name from the oldest known Catalan cookbook (1324), and the project honors that heritage with an unusual combination of ambition and humility. Organic, locally sourced vegetables — every single supplier listed on the menu, which is the kind of transparency most kitchens claim and few actually deliver. The monthly seven-course tasting menu costs €35, a number that borders on the absurd given the work on each plate. Beans, potato, and black trumpet mushrooms with Iberian pork jowl is the sort of dish that captures the thesis: medieval Catalan flavor logic reinterpreted through modern technique, sweet-savory contrasts handled with contemporary precision. A kitchen described in its own house language as "cuina molt seriosa, d'aparença senzilla però treballadíssima" — serious cooking that looks simple but is deeply, meticulously worked. One of the most important kitchens in contemporary Barcelona, and priced like a small public service.
