Roast chicken cannelloni, morel sauce and pistachio.
For those who don't know, Barcelona is divided into two: from the Diagonal up and down. Two worlds, two equally interesting parallel lives. In this swing of gastronomic realities is La despensa de Miter , the cocktail restaurant that is animating the upper area of Barcelona and that -good or bad- is moving the tourist from the Rambla to cross the city, especially at night.
In the Bonanova neighborhood This new gastro corner offers cuisine for demanding and worldly palates. "Is a traditional seasonal cuisine with nods to other countries”, says Aitor, the owner of La Despensa.
Crispy chicken bao, rocoto mayonnaise and mint yogurt.
You will enjoy reinvented and tasty starters such as marinated salmon tiradito, wakame seaweed and ponzu sauce ; or the egg at 65 º, Santa Pau beans, Perol sausage and squid, a traditional dish reinterpreted to achieve a combination of unique textures.
The quality of its seafood is indisputable, why don't you go eat a good paella in the upper area of Barcelona ?
La Despensa de Miter will offer you scallops with topinambur puree , ginger vegetables and dried tomatoes, as well as a delicious Norway lobster rice, cuttlefish and spring garlic with saffron emulsion ; and a low temperature cod, hummus, spinach and pine nuts. Although - and this is no secret - its star dish is the octopus.
Maldonado Iberian pork rib, snow peas and crispy yucca.
Leave room for dessert because they are well worth it. Only here you can try some homemade chocolate churros and a brioche French toast , cinnamon ice cream and crumble -and what French toast!-. Now you will believe that being in the upper area of Barcelona is being a little closer to heaven.
