Organic Catalin Cuisine at it's Best - La Llavor dels Orígens - Barcelona, Spain

Authentic Catalan Cuisine! Amazing and amazing, I think we almost ate the place down. There was no room left for dessert cause everything else was good and all I remember was plates coming and empty plates piling up. Best place I've eaten in Barcelona and it didn't even break my bank..you know what that means, more €€€ for GELATO! ;D. Did I ention its all organic too?

"Coca" with Duck and Figs - 5,40€

This dish was my favourite! Super soft pulled duck, with the sweetness of the caramelised figs and onions. Drools!

Meatballs with Mushrooms - 7,97€

Duck with Pears - 7,97€

The duck was a little dry but at least the flavour was nice.

Pear and Walnut Salad

I am not really into fruits in my salad, tis salad changed my mind. This is now one of my favourite summer salads.

Baked Rabbit with Rosemary - 7,97€

Rabbit is such a lean meat I find it hard to enjoy, they made up for it here with the flavours. 

Octopus with Onion - 8,45€

Wild Boar Stew - 9,20€

One of the best wild boar dishes I have had, so hearty but not heavy.

Lamb with Rosemary, Lemon, Honey and Chives - 9,40€

Can't go wrong with lamb.

Stuffed Squid - 8,60€

This beautifully stuffed squid was so moist. Being able to dip it into the catalan wine sauce it was served with definitely enhanced he flavours.

Buuuuurp! Very satisfied..

Make sure you eat here if your in town, you won't be disappointed

Altitude Restaurant - Not Worth Mentioning

So I went out with some girlfriends for dinner at Altitude which is at the Shangri-La Sydney, as excited as I was by the view and great company the food failed to impress, the service was poor and the staff uneducated of the menu. The taste and the creative flair was just not there :(. Please note I am not a food critic..I just LOVE food.

We had the Four Course Weekend Menu - $115 pp

River trout ballottine

Kohlrabi, pickled grey ghost mushroom

Seared sea scallop

Avocado, fried zucchini flower, crumbs of dried mullet roe

 Rare roast Cervena venison

Carrots, crushed Jerusalem artichokes, hibiscus jus

Crispy skin John Dory with steamed mussels

Braised beetroot, blood orange, fennel  

Caramelized banana 

Banoffee mousse, peanut brittle, vanilla ice cream

Strawberry “Bombe”

Lemon curd, glazed quince, orange segments

Sadly I think we paid for the beautiful view and not beautiful food.
