Catalunya is an elegant Spanish restaurant that offers creative twists on tapas such as their "tomato tartare" and oysters with "fake lemon". We were prepared to pay a hefty amount, but in places like these I think it s worthy of it compared to a lot of other places. We started with the spherical olives which is basically a little pod of olive oil that is shaped like a real olive. It was a good start and I recommend everyone to try it - It's $18 each an one is enough for a taste. We then had a
We started with the spherical olives which is basically a little pod of olive oil that is shaped like a real olive. It was a good start and I recommend everyone to try it - It's $18 each an one is enough for a taste. We then had a selection of appetisers.
We got the oyster and it was a fun bite with a lemon jelly, though a bit difficult to pair together. The most wow-worthy dish at this point was the 'perfect' eggs. They were so good, smooth, creamy deliciousness in a bite. The truffle potato foam and caviar worked so well with the dish and made me feel like I'm in a 3-michelin star restaurant. I highly recommend it.
Please do not bother with the patatas bravas - this is the one and only dish where I feel they went a bit far to produce a great looking elegant and photogenic plate but at the expense of flavor. It tasted just like boiled potatoes and not worth it at all.
The tomato tartare was another innovative dish - which is exciting particularly for vegetarians, but maybe not for meat-eaters.
We had so many little bites and appetizers that we only got one main - the grilled prawn. The menu listed it as "probably the best prawn in the world." I actually love their menu style and selection - but yet again I think this declaration wasn't spot on. It was good - not the best. Maybe they were referring to the prawn's origin as they say they have sourced them from Japan/New Zealand - but I think it was slightly overcooked.
The restaurant is a bit too dimly lit for lunch, so I recommend it more for dinner. Also the service is inconsistent, some servers are very nice some aren't as nice - also expect slow service.
Overall, I recommend this place for a special occasion type of meal.
