Alkimia, Alkostat and private dining
Alkostat is a separate, everyday-Catalan offering and should not be confused with the Alkimia dining format. The operator describes separate private rooms at Alkimia and Alkostat for groups up to forty, with arrangements tailored to the event. Published Alkimia service is Monday–Thursday lunch and dinner, plus Friday lunch. The main page’s dinner cutoff is 22:30 while its footer says 22:00, so a single precise closing time is not stated here.
A confirmed request and final reconfirmation
Reservations require a card guarantee and are not confirmed until the email arrives. Groups over six use a group request, and the published advance window is two months. The conditions specify €100 per diner for a no-show or failure to complete the final confirmation as described there. Changes need at least twenty-four hours and remain subject to availability. The operator notes that the served menu can change with the market and asks for dietary needs in advance.
