41 Degrees

41 Degrees, located in Barcelona's theatre district, is one of the new projects of award wining chef, Ferran Adria (Owner and Executive Chef of El Bulli). He, along with brother Albert, also a member of the El Bulli team, have created "a classic cocktail bar with an exciting gastronomic offer full of creativity with no limits for the imagination." 

rum, coffee water, vanilla simple syrup, cardamom, crushed coffee beans, lime = one of my favorite cocktails ever!!

He was cute, talented, and it was his bday :)



The "seemingly peculiar name carries some significance".
41 Degrees is named for the parallel of latitude on which Barcelona lies in addition to many of the liquors served, which hover around 40 proof.


The bar offers modern and contemporary cocktails along with a roster of classics.
 ( Innovative cocktail bars are a rarity in Barcelona.)

The service staff are not only well-trained, but also friendly and polite. The chefs have exacting precision and attention to detail. They would often garnish the cuisine with tools that looked like large tweezers to make sure everything was perfect.

The food here is mind-bending!! Nothing is what it seems, but each creation is a "magnificent volcano of creativity, ideas and hopes." On their menu are Oysters, selected to ensure the highest quality possible, and caviar, sourced from the River Amur which is located on the border of Siberia and China. The short menu of "snacks" includes 12 Tapas culled from the El Bulli archive so I was able to experience some of the famously wacky food.
