The restaurant occupies the second floor of Casa Fuster (now Hotel Casa Fuster), an early-20th-century architectural gem designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The bright, elegant dining hall has grand columns surrounding spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows, and a wave-shaped ceiling evoking the titanium panels of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. It offers a single modern creative tasting menu, optionally paired with wines; the wine list is excellent and available by the glass.
