Comerc 24

So I just got back from a pretty awesome trip to Paris, Normandy, and Barcelona.  In Barcelona, Lily and I ate at (as far as I know) my first Michelin rated restaurant; it's called Comerc 24 and uses molecular gastronomy.

We each had 7 (smallish) courses, plus desserts.  Here's what we ate (which I never would've remembered if they didn't print it out for you afterwards and give it to you in a card).

  • Bangkok Asparagus Soup (with a coconut ball inside)
  • Filo, Parma, Lemon, and Basil
  • Monk Fish with Black Sesame and Black Garlic
  • Pizza 24 (smoked mozzarella, anchovies, and basil)
  • "Dashi" with Sea Urchin and Cockles (soup)
  • Sardines with Cullera's Orange and Fresh Wasabi
  • Tuna Tartar (with red caviar and orange marmalade sauce)
  • Pizza Sashimi (spiced fresh tuna sashimi on wonton crisps)
  • Codfish with Chard and Chickpeas
  • Duck Rice with Foi
  • Chiavari Red Mullet
  • Palamos Prawn in Salt
  • Bresse Chicken with King Prawn
  • Natural Nestea
  • Bread, Oil, Chocolate, and Salt
  • Nuget Tuille Cigar, Chocolate, and Coffee
  • Sablee with Pineapple and Meringue
  • Sheep Milk Yogurt with Apple and Raspberries
  • Petitfours (green tea chocolate, oreo cookie, and hazelnut chocolate)
I tried every dish and enjoyed the vast majority of them.  My least favorite was definitely the sea urchin soup; I couldn't even finish that.

Hopefully, Jeremy at least will appreciate my attempt at being a foodie.
