Cruix is pronounced Crooshhh, which in Catalan means Crunch. Michelin gives it a Bib Gourmand and I agree with that designation. So you should make a reservation to avoid not getting a table. We were staying in Eixample so it was easy to walk over here from our hotel. We decided to get the 11 course meal with Avinyo Cava, which is a Brut sparkling wine, the grapes are from the local Penedes Region. As for the meal, we enjoyed the following: - Parmesan cheeseballs - anchovies with hollandaise sauce - beet root hummus - gazpacho with mackerel - cod with aioli mousse - Pekin duck croquettes - mushrooms with creamed eel sauce - oxtail meatballs - jamon paella - tom khia ice cream soup - sad day at the beach ice cream cone - my favorite!! Every dish was unique and distinct from the prior one that was served. The pace was just right and the service was excellent - they were not rushing you at all. This is a great place to enjoy Cruix's well known tapas and paella..and everything was very good and I plan to make sad day at the beach dessert at home. read more
