An Unexpected Culinary Journey
The Sant Antoni district, known for its vibrant food scene, surprised me with an unexpected discovery: an exceptional sausage at a renowned restaurant. Coming from the quiet Seu d’Urgell, where local meat is the norm, I found myself immersed in a new culinary experience that reminded me of the popular Cathar song about unexpected love.
The attraction of Sant Antoni
Sant Antoni is a place that attracts food lovers, especially on Carrer Parlament, which is always full of life. The Candela en Rama restaurant stands out among the options, offering a tasting menu that allows diners to enjoy a selection of dishes chosen by the chef.
A welcoming environment
With an elegant but informal decoration, Candela en Rama invites everyone to relax. Its open kitchen allows you to see the action, adding an extra layer of excitement to the dining experience.
Surprising dishes
The menu features a fusion of tradition and innovation. We start with a delicious whipped cream, which reminded me of the Pallars scallion. The rosta, fried to perfection, is so crispy that it is addictive.
Authentic flavors
Among the dishes, the sausage bomb stands out for its versatility, while the Cantabrian anchovy, accompanied by brioche, provides an explosion of flavor with every bite.
The Sausage: An Exceptional Dish
The highlight came with the grilled sausage. This delicacy, made with matured beef, is presented with Padró peppers and a texture that melts in your mouth. Without a doubt, a piece that deserves to be the protagonist of any barbecue.
The Beef Tartar
We cannot forget the famous beef tartare, served in a croissant that is a real pleasure for the senses. The combination of textures and flavors is a testament to the chef’s skill.
A Sweet Ending
To top off this wonderful experience, the salted caramel coulant with stracciatella ice cream is a real treat. In addition, the cheese cake with gorgonzola and mascarpone offers a powerful contrast that does not leave anyone indifferent.
Candela en Rama transforms traditional tapas with a modern and creative touch. I’m definitely looking forward to my next visit to find out what other dishes will surprise me.
