We ordered the formule of a starter and a main course, and a bottle of wine (after having sat there for maybe 20 minutes ready to order). Our first course was served before the wine, and we had to ask them to bring the wine. The first course was good, and of a reasonable size. The main couse was smaller than the first course, so that left us a bit puzzled. The staff went running around as if in complete chaos, it seemed as no one really was in control. The only time a staff member approached us and asked if everything was fine was when we had paid and left no tips in the little bowl they bring the receipt in - he came over to our table, pointed at the tip-less bowl, and looked at us: "Is everything ok? Are you fine?". That was the icing on the cake!

A Spanish style tapas restaurant, NB offered a variety of small plates. We shared pan con tomate and grilled artichoke hearts to start. The artichoke was phenomenal, with fresh garlic punctuating the juicy morsels. For our main dish, we split the Mariscada, a 25€ orgy of shellfish, garlic, lemon, and butter. Conversation stopped for 10 minutes as we could only moan our appreciation of the dish before us. The atmosphere was lovely and warm, and the service was prompt. Our waitress spoke some English. In all, we spent 49€ on 1 glass of wine, bread, artichokes, seafood, flan, and 2 coffees. I would definitely return.

Truly exceptional. But this is not merely a restaurant--it is a mythological opera, enacted in the…read moreform of a tasting menu. The story begins not with a dish, but with a timeline you can eat, charting the ascent of three siblings from humble familial duty to culinary transcendence. You do not "dine" here. You witness a narrative of obsession, transformation, and fate--the kind that only arises when blood ties are mixed with butter, fire, and an unbearable drive for excellence. The youngest of the three, a pastry chef, emerges like a trickster figure from folklore, sweetening the end of the journey with a sense of mischief and melancholy. His takeover of the narrative is not declared; it is felt, as a shift in temperature, in tone, in destiny. The food--what can I say? Each course is like a quiet revelation, as if the universe momentarily aligned to allow perfection, then moved on, uncaring. There is no comfort here, only beauty that leaves you slightly devastated. The architecture of the space is austere but luminous, a kind of sacred geometry. The ceramics and silverware are ritualistic tools, not mere vessels. They suggest a world in which aesthetics are a moral responsibility--as if to serve food without beauty would be a sin against nature itself. To eat here is to be reminded that all creation is fleeting, that excellence is a burden, and that even in triumph, there is solitude.

The food is creative and interesting, there wasn't a weak dish but at the same time most of the food is very good but only a few real standouts for me. But we thoroughly enjoyed the meal even after waiting 11 months from booking to experience. The meal begins with generous servings of the house cava, then straight into canapes (about 15 of them, a mini tasting before the real menu ha). The wine pairing was pretty good, also had a bottle for the meal. favorite courses were the tomatoes, eel and figs, eggplant, the duck set, and the air dessert! also highly recommend staying at the roca brothers' hotel (hotel casa cacao)

That was just one of 6 plates which were all wonderful. A++ Drinks: Well wine in Spain is plentiful and inexpensive. What more can you ask?

Aside from warm and friendly service, each dish was presented with a thoughtful, artistic touch. The restaurant itself was petite but the clean lines and laid back vibe evoked a design aesthetic that permeated through decor and dishes. Everything was perfectly cooked. The tenderness of the pork and freshness of the vegetables, fish and seafood spoke volumes of the cooking technique as well as emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients. If I had one knock it would be the paella was slightly too salty, but aside from that, bravo! We didn't have time to try desserts but if we ever come back to Figueres would love to visit this place again.
