They always tune with the smoke point. That’s Informal.

The Sosenga
Marc Pérez and Tania Doblas have opened an oasis in the hyper-tourist territory of the center of Barcelona, almost in the Portal del Àngel: dishes with soul, heart and taste. Pau Arenós tried the lunch menu (€18) and was “hooked” on the ‘sablé’ with leeks and honey, cured and grated egg and caper ‘velouté’. “I understood that the person who defended the fort was a talented chef,” he wrote about his visit to La Sosenga.
Samantha’s

In the tasting, “12 grams of fish and 7 of rice,” details the chef, Hideki Matsuhisa. Change the proportion on the menu: 12 of product and the same weight of grass. Seared belly, eel and horse mackerel are some of the essentials at Koy Shunka.
