If you’re unfamiliar with the natural bounty of the Ebro Delta, a visit to this restaurant in Barcelona is a must to savour the flavours of a region that has been declared a World Biosphere Reserve.Accessed via the lobby of the Ohla Eixample hotel, Xerta boasts a contemporary dining room with views of both its vertical garden and the kitchen. Chef Fran López, who trained and worked for three years with French maestro Alain Ducasse, showcases the flavours of his home region, providing guests with an opportunity to discover its superb gastronomy (eel, oysters, rice etc - 90% of his ingredients are sourced from here) from a creative perspective. An interesting footnote is that Xerta is the first European restaurant with a Michelin star to receive Kashrut kosher certification!
