Santa Coloma is a singular nucleus. Bordering Barcelona, ​​it forms part of the great metropolis that is the area that surrounds the city and where the borders are never entirely clear. In fact, from Plaza Sarriá to Avenida Pallaresa, where the Lluerna restaurant is located, it can only take about 15 minutes.
Indeed, this nucleus stands out for its quality urban space, with first class residential buildings, for Can Peixauet and Can Zam, for the Besós river park, for the multiculturalism of its inhabitants and for having one of the most charismatic restaurants in the Metropolitan area.
VÃctor Quintillà and Mar Gómez opened a small restaurant near the Town Hall building 20 years ago. They called it Lluerna, the Catalan name for a fish with white meat and a dark consistency. Since 2013 they have held a well-deserved Michelin star, which forced them to move in search of a larger and more comfortable space. Now, after five years in the new location, this restaurant deserves to be revisited by 5 a Taula to review its good work and analyze for our readers how its famous value for money is combined.
True, Lluerna earns, in our opinion, more than a star for the kitchen, but also for the venue and the service. The award has been accompanied in the 2021 edition of the Michelin guide by a second green star that is awarded to sustainable and local gastronomy.
VÃctor has been modulating his language without diminishing the ambition of his kitchen one iota. With continuous approaches to local products, Lluerna seeks to value, with delicate talent, many treasures of our productive geography: prawns from the coast, teardrop peas from Maresme, morels from the Pyrenean hills or the sisquella variety of sheep from Can Batlle.
The place, pampered by the head waiter, Mar Gómez, and the sommelier Ramón Nebra, exudes comfort and good taste. The winery pays homage, with as much intelligence as passion, to a personal selection of what is produced in our vineyards and the details that are expressed on the table determine a seamless offer.
