Fodor's Review:

Santi Santamaria's master class in Mediterranean cuisine merits the 45-minute train ride (or 30-minute drive) north of Barcelona to Sant Celoni, a good jumping-off point for a Montseny hiking excursion. One of the four top-rated restaurants in Spain (along with El Bulli in Roses, and Arzak and Berasategui in San Sebastián), this is a must for anyone interested in fine dining. Every detail, from the six flavors of freshly baked bread to the cheese selection, is superb. The taster's menu is the wisest solution. The RENFE stations are at Passeig de Gràcia or Sants (the last train back is at 10:24 PM, so this is a lunchtime or early-dinner transport solution). Fortunately, there are five rooms available here just a few steps from your last glass of wine.

  • Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V
  • Closed: Closed Mon., 1st 2 wks of Feb., and late June-early July. No dinner Sun.
