Saüc

Saüc Review

Named for the curative elderberry plant, Saüc's avant-garde decor is the first hint that the fare here is far from standard. This postmodern cuina d'autor (original cuisine) run by an enterprising young couple, Xavi Franco and Anna Donate, uses fine ingredients and combines them in flavorful and original (yet artifice-free) surprises such as scallops with cod tripe and black sausage or monkfish with snails. The taster's menu is an unbroken series of unusual combinations of standard products, none of which fail to please. Try the coulant de chocolate y maracuyá (chocolate pudding with passion fruit) for dessert.
