Home of a Two Star Michelin restaurant
ABaC Restaurant, led by Chef Jordi Cruz, is the winner of two coveted Michelin stars. Chef Cruz is a true product of Barcelona. The seaside city is where he was born, raised, and educated. It’s also where he earned his first Michelin star at the age of 24, making him the youngest chef in Spain to be bestowed the honor.
Chef Cruz took over ABaC Restaurant in 2010. His Catalan influences are alive in the avant-garde tapas style menu. Guests can choose from either a 14-course or 21-course tasting menu. Examples of Chef Cruz’s culinary genius include Iberian suckling pig paired with mango tatin and bamboo-steamed foie gras. Pair your dinner with one of over 1,000 bottles in from wine cellar.

Guests of ABaC Restaurant & Hotel can also enjoy the spa facilities for an extra 25 GBP (~33.40 USD) a person a day.

Perry Tours
Hello! My name is Perry, originally from the heart of Belgium, famed for its waffles and fries. However, it wasn't just the call of the Spanish sun that brought to Barcelona, but rather a captivating encounter with a German-Uruguayan beauty in Thailand. This led to the birth of our son in Ibiza, and eventually, more than two decades ago, I found myself in the vibrant city of Barcelona. My passion for meeting people from different nationalities and cultures, coupled with an insatiable appetite for adventure, has empowered me to transform ordinary days into extraordinary stories. In 2020, I embarked on a new journey by starting my own sightseeing company, showcasing the wonders of Barcelona to people from all over the world. With nine years of guiding experience in this magnificent city, I am thrilled to share its beauty and hidden gems with you.
