The cuisine of the Duquesa de Cardona is an aboslute treat: one of the choiciest destination of Barcelona. Meals are taken in the splendid La Duquesa dining hall on the ground floor adorned with the majestic original staircase of the 16th century, exquisite pillars and arcades, or directly on the panoramic patio with its stunning view of Barcelona, at the "La Marina" under the solicituous eyes of the Merce, the patron saint of the city standing directly in the background. A small room is equally available upon request offering candlelight dinner for lovers. Breakfast is ready from 7:00 to 11:00 AM and offers mainly fruit juice and Nespresso coffee. To have it on the patio, it is better to book the previous day. Thereafter, you can have your meal from midday to 11:00 PM. You will find the day's menu for lunch and an ŕ la carte selection for dinner on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Served in stylish crockery, meals are offered with an obsession for detail. For instance, you can have a delicious pine-nut or courgette potage as an appetizer, an exquisite mango salad, shrimp, cherry tomato, balsam vinegar and Japanese mushroom for starters, tuna marinated in soybean, soybean oil, balsam vinegar and wasabi, before crowning all with cream and wine stock accompanied by Iberian ham all served in bell jars: an absolute delight!!! The Brisa del Mar bar on the patio equally offers a variety of cocktails and drinks from midday to 11:00 PM. Drinks can be served everywhere in the hotel. A room service with hot and cold meals is available 24h/24.
