Café de L’Academia – Barcelona
Monday, 8 March 2010
Day 5: We almost didn’t make it out for dinner at Café de L’Academia, another LUXE City Guide recommendation. It had been snowing all day, and we weren’t looking forward to going out in the melting slush. I’m glad we did! It was the perfect ending to a short-but-sweet vacation. This small, quiet, romantic restaurant is another place you’ll want to book in advance. We arrived without reservations 15 minutes after opening, and were offered either a seat at the bar or right by the door. We opted for the bar, and ordered a bottle of red wine bottled exclusively for the Café. For dinner, we split the Esqueixada de bacallà (raw cod with romesco sauce) and Fideuà (Catalan noodles with seafood). Again… the seafood is as fresh as it gets, and the presentation is beautiful.
