One word could describe Comerç 24 (C/ Comerç, 2408003 Barcelona, Spain 933 192 102) – “overhyped”. The dishes sounded better on the menu (“pizza-sashimi”) than they were in reality and even if I really enjoyed some dishes like tuna tartare, some were disappointing. I don’t say that the dinner at Comerç 24 was bad but it didn’t live to its avant-garde image either.
P.S. As in Inopia and Cal Pep most of the clients that night were foreigners. It didn’t bother me at all (again, I was a foreigner!), but makes me wonder why all these places are not so popular among the local people?
4 different kinds of olive oil served with breadOlives with anchovies and macadamia nuts dipped in gold powder (I forgot what exactly was in the second picture..)Pizza- sashimi– tuna sashimi on a cracker. Where was the pizza? I think that “open sandwich”( or something like this) would be a more correct name.Beach shrimp ceviche with wine peach – the dish had little in common with it’s name. Raw shrimps with some sorbet on the side. Or maybe it was a “deconstructed” ceviche? I don’t know..Tuna tartare– you can see all the ingredients in the picture. Interesting imitation (the egg yolk) of the classical beef tartare.. DeliciousArtichoke, cod and spinach. The dish of my friend- she said it was very good. The artichoke was in a form of ice cream, served as a side dish.Nougat with tuille cigar, chocolate and coffeeBread, oil, chocolate and salt… The dessert was literally made of grilled bread, chocolate, salt and olive oil…
