Cecconi's

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Dressed with rust-red velvet sofas, black-and-white tiled floors and 19th-century vaulted brick ceilings, the exquisite signature restaurant at members-only Soho House welcomes all for smartly prepared cocktails and elegant yet unfussy northern-Italian cuisine straight from the open-plan kitchen (courgette frittata, burrata-and-avocado salad, pastas like tonnarelli cacio e pepe). If you book for Sunday brunch (€45; noon to 5pm), arrive hungry!
