Shrinking Ovarian Cancer

Copper

Good quality - price, as defined this restaurant. They have a varied menu, which includes 2 menus. One of 30 € and a 45 € more attractive, so we decided on the latter. An appetizer, 2 starters, 1 fish, 1 meat and 2 desserts. They also offered us cheese before dessert but do not take them because we had had enough. Requested the change of the onion soup was one of the starters and I replaced it with the marinated foie greaves on coca reduction gears and Pedro Ximenez. I regretted the change because the dish of foie on coca is too fatty pork rinds and even try to lighten it with strawberries for me it is far from achieved. But overall good. None of the dishes seemed remarkable even if incorrect.
The place is a basement decorated in white that makes it quite comfortable. It is rather surprising entry into the restaurant, is a hall in which nothing and nobody, just keep the coat closet where you go down the stairs to be addressed.
The service is very young and although they try to get it right noticeable lack of experience and if we add that there is little personal is a service that falls short of what the place meant to be. The place is quite successful and almost always full, it is advisable to book before you go.
The wine list is very international, I think it undermines the international wine list because despite having an extensive list of wines, domestic wines devote few references.
To give you an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat you can eat we will detail the menu of 45 € + IVA (drinks not included). Menu

Be Russian Bare Beaches

The sale

is very nice to eat in a modernist building to 223.5 meters above sea level, on a terrace pool with retractable roof, allowing you to enjoy in summer or and winter. The sale offers a modern and traditional cuisine based on seasonal products. Fully recommended restaurant for lunch and dinner, organize a family dinner, business or romantic dinner. In short a place to consider because it never disappoints. Also the environment is excellent, on the slopes of Tibidabo where you can enjoy an aperitif in the Mirablau with the best views of Barcelona or a drink after dinner. The price, the food, the environment ... all very well, only problem is where to park the car, even on the chart indicate the restaurant "risk of crane, see Avoiding."

They also include the letter from the time when there are dishes like garlic soup to 85 pts.
