In the tradition of Catalonia's finest restaurants, Xavier Pellicer leaves no detail to chance here, preparing carefully selected ingredients in innovative recipes based on culinary canons learned from Europe's top chefs. The taster's menu is the only reasonable choice here: trust Xavi (any attempt at economy here is roughly analagous to quibbling about deck chairs on the Titanic). Located until October 2007 on Carrer del Rec in the Ribera-Born neighborhood, Àbac's new digs are in an uptown boutique hotel.
