Speakeasy

L'Eixample


This clandestine restaurant lurks behind Dry Martini: you'll be shown a door through the open kitchen to the ‘storeroom’, lined with hundreds of bottles of backlit, quality tipples. Tempting options might include Iberian suckling pig or mushroom-and-king prawn ravioli in a creamy parmesan sauce. Dark decor, a few works of art, low lighting and light jazz complement the smooth service.
