Hisop Barcelona – August 12, 2022

On our last night of the trip, we took OP and CC out to another fancy spot, Chef Oriol Ivern tiny 1 Michelin star Catalan restaurant. Once again, the chef emailed us back to let us know that they can accommodate kiddos, they do a simplified version of any of their fish and meat courses served with rice. The girls ate and loved the grilled lamb and roasted poularde chicken (a young bird that is fattened with a rich diet) and sampled quite a few of our tasting menu dishes. Another fancy meal with the girls. This is a fabulous new step for us as a family. We love sharing these experiences with them and look forward to many more!

Olive oil and bread gets pretty high-end in Spain. The green was from Cordoba, need to ask Javi about it!
