We dined at Restaurant Hofmann for lunch today, a culinary school in Barcelona which A had dined at her last visit here. The restaurant used to be located near Santa Maria del Mar but has since moved to a location that seems to be off the typical tourist path, which might have explained why we were the only tourists (and women) in a room of middle-aged businessmen.We had the prix fixe, which was 5 courses with 2 options each so we smartly ordered one of each menu so that we could try everything by switching plates half-way through each course. It seems I've misplaced the menu so the descriptions will be hit and miss. The artistry of some of the courses, the desserts and their skills with sugar in particular, is quite impressive.
Amuses: Candied walnut, rolled wafer, fish croquette, cheese puff and strawberry puree shot
Samosa of green peas and quail
The yummy bread basket, presumably made in-house
Coca of sardines
Squid and ink pasta
Salmon with spinach...can't remember what the crispy stuff atop it was made of
Drawing a blank...but this was seafood
Ditto - but obviously red meat
See above.
Cheesecake with a raspberry surprise in the middle. The shot of raspberry sorbet is completely edible.
Chocolate bombe with almond ice cream which reminded me of a Caramilk ice cream bar. The sugar-spun vase holding the candied nuts was thinner then cellophane.
The sweets that came with our Cafe con Leche
