Seasonal cooking and an architectural setting
Albert Adrià builds the menu month by month around market produce and new ideas, retaining some creations while replacing others. The twenty–twenty-five-preparation format sits within the distinctive room by RCR Arquitectes, with translucent surfaces and a cloud-like ceiling. The MICHELIN 2026 selection lists two stars. This is a creative tasting experience, rather than a conventional à la carte meal.
