San Sebastian film festival

San Sebastian film festival

Just arrived to San Sebastian film festival to attend the official Foodies documentary screening this evening. I am trying to squeeze in some meals during the very short time I am here and yesterday’s visit to Kaia Kaipe was more than worth the thirty minutes drive from San Sebastian. It…

I didn’t really know what to expect from Adrià’s brothers 41 degrees experience, adjacent to Tickets tapas restaurant in Barcelona and already one of the toughest reservations in the world. (Avinguda Paral·lel, 16408015 Barcelona,Spain; tel.+34 932 92 42 53) All I had read that it was a bar where cocktails…

Adrià brothers' 41 degrees experience

The relatively new Ferran and Albert Adrià’s restaurant 41 degrees experience is very similar to El Bulli, just without the “world’s best restaurant” title and with a radically different ambiance.

Tickets by Albert Adrià

When Albert Adrià closed his legendary El Bulli ( where I had a chance to dine in 2010 ) everyone was guessing what he and his brother Ferran were going to do next. Their answer – a tapas bar called Tickets (Avinguda Parallel, 164 08015 Barcelona, Spain; tel.+34 932 92 42…

La Rosa (Av de Neptuno 70, Valencia, Spain,tel. +34 963 712 076 ) is an old, traditional restaurant located on the seaside promenade of Valencia. At first glance, it might look like just another touristy place on a Spanish beach, but once you try their paellas you understand that La…
