Ceviche 103, Peruvian, Eixample

25th November 2014 Leave a Comment

Ceviche 103, wall

The font made me do it. Want to eat here that is. When I saw a picture of this wall in Food & Wine magazine, I imagined it to be a small, noisy restaurant all clanging and hub bub. It turns out, it’s a large restaurant, on two floors. With a large glass front: the  thick expensive glass that LVMH might use for one of their flagship stores.  I am quite relieved when I am handed the lunch menu.  Three courses for €14.95.

At 1pm, the restaurant is empty and I can see the staff having their lunch in the kitchen (Ah Spain). Someone rushes out, swallows and lets me have my pick of the tables (Ahem – Tlaxcal). In the next 40 minutes Ceviche 103 is full.  Mostly men who I presume are here for the great lunch deal and the man size portions (seriously, had to discretely unbutton the top button of my trousers).

There are also a few older women (50’s), looking tremendous with blow dried hair, studded boots or rhinestone jeans. Most people, including myself, start with the ceviche. A mound of marinated fish, adorned with giant fresh and dried corn kernals, a tousel of red onions and…  a mottled piece of sweet potato that looks like an afterthought.  But actually, in a dish that is swimming in leche de tigre, that unkempt looking piece of sweet melting sweet potato turns into a surprisingly alluring accent.

Lemon meringue pie at Ceviche 103

My main is a large pile of breaded and fried chicken strips with a scattering of red onions and cilantro.  Dessert is a doorstop of lemon meringue pie.

It is extremely good value lunch menu and the place has a fun, friendly vibe while still offering good service.  The guys in the suits know. In the future, I might pick a knot of them and follow them around to see where else they are going for lunch.

Maria curated a gaggle of women with whom to share Maria curated a gaggle of women with whom to share one of her favourite new concepts in Barcelona @tablebyona . A pop up by an enthusiastic young man who has done stints in Berlin kitchens like Ernst and casually talks about colostrum ice cream. 
Dinner was comprised of small exquisite plates with surprising and delightful textures and concepts.

Had a banter with Abel from @colmado_giner who explained to me that Reus was the entry point for Vermut to enter Spain. I find myself retuning often to this town. With a population of around 100k (another Abel statistic) there are plenty of charming quality places to eat and drink.

Fresh hand-pulled Lanzhou noodles made to order at Fresh hand-pulled Lanzhou noodles made to order at Restaurante Jin. You can watch them stretch and slap the dough right behind the glass.

Simple, hearty, and full of flavor.

Tarragona for me whenever I want to get nostalgic Tarragona for me whenever I want to get nostalgic about Barcelona. That and they have an inordinate amount of fantastic fish and Catalan restaurants like this one. @barquet_tarragona 
In addition to these dishes - there were another 3 brown coloured plates. And though Instagram won’t reward us for it - brown is where the flavour is at.

It’s now more expensive to park a car for 4 hour It’s now more expensive to park a car for 4 hours in Barcelona than to have lunch - I’m calling it.
16.90€ @barbosc_ gets you three courses and a drink.

Returned to Restaurant Margarit in Poble-sec for a Returned to Restaurant Margarit in Poble-sec for a second visit — and it was just as good, if not better.
Greek-rooted, Barcelona-based cooking that’s thoughtful, balanced, and quietly confident.

I wrote about my first visit on the blog, and this follow-up felt like a confirmation rather than a comparison.
The orzo with prawns is as rich and flavourful as I remembered.
The berenjena with yogurt and pistachio still stands out for its contrast and texture.
The flor de calabacín is delicate and well-judged.
And the tulumba — light syrup, pistachio, and saffron cream — ends things beautifully. As a non-dessert dessert person Margarit is turning out to know exactly how to balance a sweet ending. 

Reliable, elegant cooking in a calm and inviting space.

At Cal Pau Xich, it’s marble tabletops, bentwood chairs, Estrella bottles next to vintage motorbikes, and mirrors that whisper stories of another era.

The food? Honest and generous. Creamy mushroom lasagna. Chargrilled lamb chops with padron peppers. A silky flan with a dollop of cream that tastes like someone’s abuela still works the kitchen.

A proper Catalan gem that doesn’t fuss, just feeds you well.

Hola Coffee, Madrid ☕️ 📍Calle del Dr. Fourq Hola Coffee, Madrid ☕️

Minimalist, confident, and just the right kind of cool. The kind of place where the coffee’s excellent, the croissants are glossy, and yes — they serve an iced coffee with olive oil.
@holacoffee 

Design-led, barista-driven, and packed to the rafters with oat milk. A must if you like your coffee with a bit of bite and a lot of style.
