Oleum

Barcelona


Situated in the former throne room of the Palau Nacional, Oleum has soaring ceilings and gorgeous city views. The regularly changing Mediterranean menu is small but well executed. A meal here combines perfectly with a visit to the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, where the restaurant resides (although no museum ticket is required to dine here).

The six-course tasting menu costs €48.50.
