Alkimia review 1 Users say 5/5 Rate it

Even before Alkimia was awarded its Michelin star it was notoriously tricky to get a table and these days it hasn't got any easier. Chef Jordi Vilà is hugely respected, and turns out complex dishes that play with Spanish classics - for instance, liquid pa amb tomàquet with fuet sausage, wild rice with crayfish and strips of tuna on a bed of foamed mustard. There is also an enviably stocked wine cellar. What is lacking, however, is a great deal of warmth in either the minimalist dining room or from the occasionally tight-lipped waiting staff.

The food is simply amazing. Well paced courses that are intriguingly presented and sometimes unexpected. Though the staff can be characterized as "tIght lipped", they are not unfriendly nor do they lack humor. The staff and sparse decor do not detract from the feature presentation of the food, which is masterful.
