Who? Marc
Food Style? Modern European
We spent the day touring around Costa Brava's best scenery, and even skipped over to Perpignan in France for an hour since it was so close. On the way home, we stopped by the Dali Museum in Figueres and decided to have dinner there. This place is a stone’s throw from the museum and serves modern food with influences from different parts of the world.

Platillo Mar i Muntanya de Calamars i Mandoguilles
I’ve gone for the mar i muntanya, literally “sea and mountain”, or surf and turf. It's a mix of squid and meatballs with a magnificent sauce that I have to soak up with some bread, so I get Marc to order some for me. It comes with some authentic, full flavoured olive oil and is absolutely delicious. The squid is cooked perfectly and melts in my mouth, the meatballs are soft and juicy, and there’s crunchy croutons with squid ink that add a wonderful texture to the dish. I’ve completely emptied the plate and its sauce because it’s so good.
We can’t pass up desserts called “Dali’s Egg” and “Gala’s Lips” considering we are in Dali’s home town.
Dessert #1
Dali's Egg: White chocolate and mango cream
Dali’s Egg breaks open and reveals this stunning mango cream with white chocolate, there’s some amazing flavours and textures on the plate and the presentation is absolutely beautiful.
Dessert #2
Gala's Lips: Cheese mousse and red berries
Named after Dali's wife, Gala’s Lips have that vibrant, inviting red colour and a wonderful raspberry flavour to match. It’s refreshing and tart, and also beautifully presented.
