Tucked away in a quiet corner of Dempsey Hill, La Ventana showcases classic Catalan dishes from Michelin-starred chef Charles Gaig. Shrouded by peaceful greenery, the restaurant’s al fresco terrace is a delightful spot for those seeking a quiet dinner far away from the city’s bustle.
The menu is not extensive, but focuses on authentic dishes executed with finesse. These include a comforting cannelloni stuffed with beef and pork, and draped with a gratifying truffle cream sauce. Other dishes that will leave a lasting impression include a simple but elegantly plated dish of diced potato with aioli, and an exquisite salmon tartar with tomato, avocado and fennel.
Don’t miss the slow-roasted octopus with potato and Spanish smoked paprika, and the succulent suckling pig served with a strawberry salad. A whiskey-infused pineapple cannelloni stuffed with vanilla mousse is an outstanding way to round off an enjoyable meal here.
