Open since 1983
Jordi Vilà's Sarrià village restaurant on Carrer Major de Sarrià — Catalan tapas and small plates in a hidden garden of ivy, palms and camellias. Founded with partner Gabi Calzado; the same kitchen team behind starred Alkimia and tier-2 sibling Al Kostat. Va de Cuina takeaway shares the address.
The Delekta Review
Catalan-Mediterranean cooking on a market-driven card — designed for sharing in tapas and small-plate format, rigorous without being formal
Founded by Jordi Vilà and Gabi Calzado as the gentler counterpart to Vilà's starred Alkimia (Sant Antoni) Part of Vilà's family of projects — Alkimia, Al Kostat (tier-2 sibling at PR #154), Va de Cuina takeaway, and Alkostat del Mar in Begur
Elevated croquetes — the calling card; tortilla and trinxat as Catalan canon plates Steak tartare; bravas with sobrasada; canelones Faves a la catalana and seasonal vegetable preparations carrying the Alkimia precision over to a casual register Arrossos when in season — the kitchen's strongest house format
The hidden garden terrace is the headline — ivy, palms, camellias on a quiet block of Carrer Major de Sarrià, away from the centre's noise Sarrià still feels like a separate village inside Barcelona — calmer, slower, the kind of meal that ends with a quiet walk back
Around €50 per person without beverages (Macarfi); tasting context €55–70 per legacy listing Open every day; the small terrace requires booking ahead
