Accessed via the lobby of the Ohla Eixample hotel, Xerta boasts a contemporary dining room with views of the kitchen. Chef Fran López, who trained and worked for three years with French master Alain Ducasse, shows the flavours of his home region, providing guests with an opportunity to discover its superb gastronomy (eel, oysters, rice etc - 90% of his ingredients are sourced from here) from a creative perspective. The à la carte, which also features an array of delicious rice dishes and always shows seasonal ingredients (sea cumbers, galera shrimp, blue crab, wild mushrooms etc.), is complemented by four set menus: Executive (lunchtimes, excluding public holidays, Monday to Friday), Delta, Degustation and Tribute.
