Comerç 24 ( Barcelona)

Barcelona Casual dining Good Spain

One word could describe Comerç 24 (C/ Comerç, 2408003 Barcelona, Spain 933 192 102) – “overhyped”. The dishes sounded better on the menu (“pizza-sashimi”) than they were in reality and even if I really enjoyed some dishes like tuna tartare, some were disappointing. I don’t say that the dinner at Comerç 24 was bad but it didn’t live to its avant-garde image either.

P.S. As in Inopia and Cal Pep most of the clients that night were foreigners. It didn’t bother me at all (again, I was a foreigner!), but makes me wonder why all these places are not so popular among the local people?

*4 different kinds of olive oil served with bread*

*Olives with anchovies and macadamia nuts dipped in gold powder* (I forgot what exactly was in the second picture..)

Pizza- sashimi- tuna sashimi on a cracker. — *Pizza- sashimi*– tuna sashimi on a cracker. Where was the pizza? I think that “open sandwich”( or something like this) would be a more correct name.

*Beach shrimp ceviche with wine peach* – the dish had little in common with it’s name. Raw shrimps with some sorbet on the side. Or maybe it was a “deconstructed” ceviche? I don’t know..

*Artichoke, cod and spinach.* The dish of my friend- she said it was very good. The artichoke was in a form of ice cream, served as a side dish.

*Nougat with tuille cigar, chocolate and coffee*

*Bread, oil, chocolate and salt*… The dessert was literally made of grilled bread, chocolate, salt and olive oil…
