We arrived ten minutes ahead of our 20:30 seating to be sharply told the restaurant opens sharply at 20:30. Right. A glass of wine around the corner we must.

Caelis- Barcelona
If you’re turning 41 or are in the neighborhood of central Barcelona, please, please do yourself a date impressing birthday favor and give Caelis a go. With the option of a romantic table or bar looking at the kitchen, we last minute chose the later. Is there much better than a tasting menu at a…

Bob Bob Ricard
What’s worse than anxiously awaiting snow-maggeden 2018 round two? Eating egg whites during a snow storm. It should be all mac and cheese and vino, but in (hopeful) preparation for this weekend’s black tie, it’s all carbless sadness.
