His fried prawn and ginger-flecked pasta in a mango and mustard sauce would make the gods weep, and his sea bass with cod and blood sausage is nothing less than brilliant, it can only be Jean Luc Figueras, darling of the Spanish culinary scene and owner/chef at this hip gracia town house that was once the studio of Balenciaga. Highly dedicated to staying on top, Figueras is a seeker of the finest raw materials on the Barcelona market, and his menu is adjusted to take advantage of the best produce in any season. Stamping each and every dish with his signature flair the emphasis is on fresh seafood, although his meat dishes are also sublime. The setting is urban chic with warm ambient lighting casting an effervescent hue over the elegant dining room. Service is in a similar vein, with stylishly clad staff hanging on your every whim and whinny. Even if food critics narrowed the list of Barcelona restaurants down to five, the innovative Jean Luc Figueras, would more than likely appear on it.
