Martín Berasategui's three-Michelin-star restaurant in the Monument Hotel, where head chef Paolo Casagrande cooks precise, seasonal tasting menus.
Good to know
Lasarte is the Barcelona outpost of Basque chef Martín Berasategui, with day-to-day cooking led by Paolo Casagrande. It became the city's first restaurant to hold three Michelin stars in 2017 and has kept them since. The dining room sits inside the Monument Hotel, just off Passeig de Gràcia.
Expect refined, produce-led cooking with clear flavours and careful sauces, built around seasonal tasting menus that change through the year. Service runs only from Wednesday to Saturday, at lunch and dinner, so book well ahead and allow a good few hours for the meal. Passeig de Gràcia metro is a short walk away.
