Attic Restaurant

After a long day starting from an exceptionally early flight to Barcelona, I planned to call it a night not long after 10pm and retired to the hotel for a relaxing soak in the jacuzzi when my stomach urged me to do something to compensate for the unsatisfactory dinner earlier on.

Attic restaurant, one of the those in my list of restaurants to visit, is brilliantly located right next door to the hotel where I am staying and so, we ventured into the street of the still crowded Las Ramblas and headed for this chic and modern restaurant.

I heard it is hard to get a table during dinner time from about 9-11pm but since we arrived slightly before midnight, getting a table was not a problem but even at this time, the place was still reasonably occupied with a steady stream of patrons even after we were seated.



The salmon moose over seafood salad, with the distinct oak taste of smoked salmon wrapped around a mixture of salmon moose and minced seafood, literally melts in the mouth. The chef also added some zest to the dish with spoonful of sauteed apple that I quite enjoyed.



Instead of the traditional way of whipping up this dish with potato pan fried together with egg and served as an omelet, the Spanish Omelet at Attic is served first with a layer of potato fried to a rosti state, ruuny scramble egg in the middle topped with a generous amount of bacon bits.



The wild mushroom rivioli is served with a thick wild mushroom soup and a cheese filled rivioli done al dente.



A fantastic supper at midnight...

The perfect recipe for a good night sleep...
