Restaurant Xavier Pellicer

"The chef here continues to champion healthy cuisine with his focus on organic vegetables. Choose between a more informal dining section and the more gastronomically focused El Menjador (reservation required) offering a choice of tasting menus." - Michelin Inspector

"According to acclaimed chef Xavier Pellicer, all ingredients possess an energy that gets passed directly from purveyor to cook to diner. This is what he aims to capture on the plate at his latest eponymous restaurant. With a staunch emphasis on biodynamic and organic practices, this flexitarian restaurant reveres vegetables without snubbing the occasional bit of fish or meat. Pellicer has revived some of the classic dishes that made him famous, like a beetroot gazpacho and pink lentil hummus, but you’ll also find new hits, like a roasted pumpkin with chutney and burrata with asparagus and citrus." - Isabel Conde

After window shopping your way up Passeig de Gracia, and marveling at Gaudi's Casa Mila, stop in for a long lunch and rest your dogs. This laid back restaurant offers three tasting menus for the ominovores, vegetarians, and vegans. Not light on the wallet, this was one meal I'll never forget.
