Murmuri, located in the boutique hotel of the same name, lured Ian Chalermkittichai from his semi-eponymous New York restaurant (Kittichai) to Barcelona, where he is perfecting his unique interpretation of Asian cuisine d'auteur (original recipes). This cosmopolitan master creates dishes with Thai, pan-Asian, and Mediterranean influences. Appetizers include monkfish and sesame wrapped in pandan leaf, or crispy rock shrimp with Japanese aubergine, soy, and tamarind sauce. Main courses range from Vietnamese crispy fish with pickled daikon and chili to clay-pot free-range chicken breast with butternut squash in lemon grass sauce.
