ABaC Restaurant

One of the most exclusive gourmet restaurants in Barcelona, ABaC, with its brilliant revisionist Catalan cooking by chef Jordi Cruz remains a firm favorite with local and visiting gourmands. In 2008, ABaC moved from its original location in El Born to the leafy residential Sant Gervasi barrio—an address that is perhaps more suited to the price tag. In the sleek, light-filled eatery, which has been awarded two stars by the Guide Michelin, Cruz’s compositions—sweet corn taco and foie gras with mole ice cream, tartare of battered squid rings with citruses—are served in clean, modernist compositions.
