Description:
Gifted Ferran Adrià disciple Rafael Peña runs this delightful little restaurant on the eastern edge of L'Eixample. A highly imaginative and inventive chef, Peña regularly entices elite noshers to road-test his more experimental dishes such as higado de ternera con plátano y regaliz (fresh calf's liver with plantains and licorice), carpaccio de pulpo (octopus carpaccio), and butifarra negre con patatas fritas (a very pungent black Catalan sausage served with fried potatoes -- not for those on a diet!). Other pleasures include anchoas en escabeche (house-marinated fresh anchovies), jamón Serrano con calamaritos fritos (mountain ham served with fried baby squid), and galtas de vacuno marinado en vino de Rioja (tender beef cheeks braised in Rioja wine).
