Moments, Barcelona ✽✽

We’re talking Catalan cuisine sent from the heavens. Moments aims to deliver creative, fresh and healthy cuisine through one of the finest gastronomic experiences in Barcelona. This season they’re capturing the essence of La Vuelta, an important Spanish cycling event.

Exclusive designs of golden and amber hues mould a charming and magical atmosphere fit for their menu. Diners can also observe the culinary staff at work through a window.

El Celler de Can Roca, Girona ✽✽✽ ☘

The Roca brothers of El Celler de Can Roca pride themselves on generosity and hospitality. They embrace emotion in the kitchen, grow their ingredients alongside small farmers and nurture a group of harmonising chefs.

The structure of this restaurant is spectacular. Lights, shadows and reflections play from morning ‘til night through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. A true gem in Girona.

El Poblet, Valencia ✽✽

Visit the heart of Valencia for gastronomy and à la carte delights inspired by nature. You can choose from the Ciutat Vella or Territori tasting menu to sample rabbit and snail rice, as well as cured meats. And not to forget white chocolate and strawberries! At El Poblet you can even tailor a bespoke menu with snacks, two courses, a dessert and petit fours.

Every dish is presented with sheer elegance and creativity led by Luis Valls. You’re sure to feel content in their relaxed atmosphere of dark hues.

Restaurant Skina, Marbella ✽✽

Celebrate seasonal Andalusian cuisine at Skina with a flavour sensation. They’re wholly steered by the seasonality of local lands and the Mediterranean Sea. Fancy sea bass with fennel mushrooms and razor clams? Or what about sirloin beef served in jus with bell peppers?

The level of attention here is unmatched because you’ll make up one of four tables. Only ten diners tuck into Skina’s cuisine at one time!

Restaurant Aponiente, El Puerto de Santa María ✽✽✽ ☘

From the execution of their website to the delivery of their dishes, Aponiente is poetic, artistic and imaginative. If sea cuisine is something that gets your senses tingling, this restaurant is where you want to dine while visiting southern Spain. Their menu of the day features caviar splash, mackerel head and even hedgehog yolk. You’ll also be eating in a fascinating tide mill dating back two centuries.

Quique Dacosta, Dénia ✽✽✽

Three Quique Dacosta restaurants now sit in the ‘100 Best in Europe’ in the ‘Opinionated About Dining’ ranking. Here, you can hope for originality, communication and craft, with their close ties to the San Sebastian Film Festival and inspiring Fine Arts awards. It’s like nothing you’ve scene before…

Quique Dacosta insists on ”cooking for the love of art”, and his menu will get your stomach rumbling.

There are only 47 restaurants across Spain with two Michelin stars or above, so when dining at one of these you know you’re in for some dreamy dishes…
