"The Roca brothers like to say that their success is down to the balance struck in a metaphorical "three-player game", with Joan in charge of the savoury dishes, Josep as the sommelier and Jordi on dessert duty.But little matter how they go about winning diners over, their ultimate goal is to create a feast for the eyes, the palate and all of the senses. This is an exceptionally high-calibre restaurant that celebrates contrasts, memories, journeys... It is also characterised by a penchant for working with local produce, a focus on sustainability and the aim to "raise awareness" of the challenges posed by climate change. The spectacular appetisers are a tribute to the evolution of this establishment and its emblematic dishes!" - Michelin Inspector
