This is a very very smart and very very expensive restaurant. The chef Sergi Arola is a disciple of Ferran Adria (of El Bulli fame).
The restaurant is a pure white space like an art gallery (altho' it is funny to leave temporarily to go to the loos which are in the actual hotel and are all ostentatious ruching and brass signs.)
Food is served either a la carte or in degustacion menus of up to 12 (or maybe more) courses- €125!!!
The food is aspiring to be techno gastronomy. Not sure that all the dishes worked, but the theatre with which they were served was fab.
It's not an every day restaurant, but it feels pretty special.
Altho' alot of customers seemed to be anglophone the waiters did struggle a little as some ingredients were unusual and neither their English, nor our Spanish could fully cope. So if you have a Spanish gourmet dictionary that might be useful.
