Our verdict
The kitchen worked a French-Mediterranean line that Barcelona critics associated with the nouvelle cuisine movement: spider crab, prawn tartare, scallop carpaccio, foie gras terrine paired with smoked duck carpaccio, and a soupy Pals brown rice with wild mushrooms and truffle that drew on the Catalan larder without abandoning the classical French technique Neichel had trained in. Sea bass and gilthead bream appeared with mustard and sage; slow-roasted suckling kid arrived with honey. The cooking was precise, ingredient-led, and grounded in the seasonal produce of the Mediterranean coast.
