We are in Barcelona for a birthday break staying at the 5 Star luxury Hotel Arts and conveniently two of the best restaurants in Barcelona, Enoteca a fine dining experience and Arola a top trendy Tapas restaurant are both on site.

Enoteca Restaurant –Top Meditteranean and Innovative Cuisine at the Hotel Arts Barcelona

Molecular cuisine is rather like abstract art. It sets the imagination spinning. To the untrained palette it might seem strange but it's exciting. At Michelin Starred Enoteca, Chief Chef Paco Perez offers diners both the innovative and the familiar, stretching out of the comfort zones of classical Mediterranean cuisine into a world of unfamilliar taste sensations.

The Culinary Adventure at Enoteca

Before the Enoteca culinary journey starts: a celebratory toast. A glass of Laurent Perrier champagne and a Japanese whiskey from the house of Hibiki for the birthday boy. Numerous appetizers arrive. Most memorable is a delicate wave of popcorn, the angelic feathery wafer infused with nougat reminding me of Saturday morning childhood treats. Sea Cucumbers arrive; tasty chewy fishy slivers and then plates of aromatic and traditional creamy rice with Ous de Reig mushrooms and white truffle, for my palette refined and flavoursome but for my husband's a trifle bland.
