Carme Ruscalleda is the successor of the chef Ángel León at the Hotel Mandarin Oriental Barcelona and now the old BistrEau is called Blanc. The world's most Michelin-starred chef is now in charge of all the gastronomic hub's offer at this five-star luxury hotel, with the exception of the top-floor terrace. His proposal for Blanc is the one that she has been defending since it began in Sant Pol de Mar: a cuisine based on seasonal products, with simple, natural and fresh elaborations.
Years ago he had won with his son in the Moments restaurant, located in the same Hotel Mandarin Oriental Barcelona, two Michelin stars, which are added to the other two of her restaurant in Tokyo and the three she maintains in her native Maresme. At Blanc quality is an indispensable condition that unfolds in the palates of its guests through the seasonal product. Truffle, caviar, fish and traditional elaborations like the cannelloni or the rice coexist with a few Asian origin plates.
Blanc is one of the restaurants of the grand luxury five star hotel Mandarin Oriental, located in the heart of Barcelona's Passeig de Gràcia. Throughout the hotel, except in its privileged terrace, you can enjoy the Ruscalleda magic touch, from the two restaurants and the two bars, to breakfast and room service.
