La Balabusta is one of Ronit Stern’s most daring restaurants, combining Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine as Israeli flavors meet local produce. All kinds of young people sit at the tables, the mood is exuberant, and despite the very minimalist décor, there is a nice coziness here. Stern makes it a point not to expect to eat like in Tel Aviv at La Balabusta. After all, the local – in this case, the cuisine of Barcelona – must always be integrated into the concept. The menu offers many veggie-friendly dishes like cauliflower xauarama with tahina and candied lemon or albergínia rolls with honey and dates. But don’t worry, the Spanish variation of the schnitzel, “encarnar de vedella arrebossada” is also represented.
