Gastromium is sadly no more, but I want to leave this review here as a homage to one of the best meals I have ever had.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I finally had a chance to sample one of the much-acclaimed Gastromium tasting menus and I have to say that it was quite an amazing experience. Chefs Miguel D\u00edaz, Ernest Masala\u00f1a and Jos\u00e9 Lu\u00eds Carabias run a very impressive kitchen, which I got to have a good look at as that’s where we had our starters, along with a couple of glasses of cava. After the kitchen tour we settled down in the beautifully minimalist dining room (by award-winning interior designer Francesc Rif\u00e9<\/a>) to start on the tasting dishes in ernest, with impeccable ma\u00eetre Duncan explaining each dish to us (and often more than once as my friend Annie Bennett<\/a> & I both hastened to scribble everything down in our notebooks) and attending to our every need. You can see all the dishes we had below. We tried five different wines altogether: the aforementioned cava, two whites (albari\u00f1o and rueda), one red (ribera del duero) and a sweet sherry (Pedro Xim\u00e9nez). This was the Sibaris tasting menu, at 71 euros per person including wines. It was exquisite.<\/p>\n

Dinner from the a la carte menu (starter, main and dessert) is about 45 euros per person, with wines ranging from 14 – 600 (yikes!) euros.<\/p>\n
