Can Fabes, Barcelona

The hopes, the dreams,
The expectations I had,
All the way ahead,
and full of steam…..

Stop right there! It could have carried on, the poetics, the romanticism, the seduction, but it didn´t. I was looking forward to writing dreamily about venturing an hour out of Barcelona into a little village to a 3 star Michelin restaurant, but I´m not doing that anymore.

I should have listened to my instinct – Can Fabes was never on my list of restaurants to visit, but being in Barcelona and so close, I thought that a chance visit would prove to be fruitful.

Tickets, Barcelona

I’ve always moaned and groaned and complained and just generally been grumpy about never having made it to El Bulli – well, the more realistic version of that is – never being able to make it to El Bulli as a result of being pipped to the post by almost everyone else. Then, just when my luck in booking restaurants favoured me, El Bulli closed down. Clearly, Edesia and Annapurna weren’t with me on this one. Around the same time, the name Tickets seemed to bounce around my ears quite a bit and I then found out that the Adria brothers had launched a tapas bar in Barcelona. Now it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Adria + Tapas bar = You-need-to-go-eat-there!
