Cullera de Boix restaurant in Barcelona near the Plaça Catalunya and in Plaça Urquinaona offers fresh, inspired Catalan cuisine in modern surroundings. On the main floor you’ll find a buzzing bar with light, bright décor and very groovy typeface-inspired design, while the dining room carries on the themes of wooden floors, pale walls, dangling lights in hot Iberian colours, and cool seating. Chef Matarrodona – a graduate of the Jean-Luc Figueres kitchen – is inspired by rice and noodle dishes, offering a menu that changes frequently to reflect the seasons. Consider mushroom risotto with idiazabal cheese, black rice with cuttlefish and prawns or risotto with fish and seafood. Main courses feature both land and sea creatures in inventive presentations and the wine list tempts you with more than 200 bottles to try.
