Concierge.com's insider take:
Michelin-starred chef Xavier Pellicer is one of the trailblazers of new Catalan cuisine. His latest restaurant, on the threshold of the Tibidabo neighborhood, is set in an elegant turn-of-the-century mansion that also houses the city's first gastro-hotel. The restaurant, a hushed and expensive affair, is located in a modernist, natural-wood-clad annex in a garden where guests can partake of Pellicer's singular cuisine, including bamboo-steamed foie gras, milk-fed lamb infused with vanilla, and eel with Iberian ham ravioli. It's also possible to observe Pellicer at work by entering his gleaming, steel, state-of-the-art kitchen via a special walkway that connects the kitchen to the hotel's ground floor (be warned, waiters use this ramp, too).
Open Tuesdays through Saturdays 1:30 to 4 pm and 8:30 to 11 pm.
