Time Out Said to be the mentor of überchef Ferran Adrià, Fermí Puig has enjoyed years of quiet success with the moneyed classes at Drolma in the Hotel Majestic. This bistro is Puig's attempt to open up to a less élite public, serving more affordable versions of the Catalan classics; suquet (fish and potato stew), pig's trotters with spinach and pine nuts, and so on. Be warned: it's not obvious from the menu that dishes are small and meant to be ordered in a tapas style, so for all the good intentions behind the concept, this is still not an especially cheap option.
Fermí Puig, the Michelin-starred chef from Hotel Majestic’s Drolma (where starters begin at a hearty EUR 39), treats your palate to new old specialties like poached eggs, stuffed breaded onions and chicken cannelloni. It’s only the food that’s rustic, though – the interior is well up-to-date and keeps the rest of your senses firmly in a modern cosmopolitan setting.
Fermí Puig has created this great space for Catalan speciallities with high quality products from local producers, warm wellcome in a great atmosphere, friendly staff and moderate prices. The opening hours are great for a late lunch or an early dinner, from 1 pm to 1 am. If you are planning on trying this restaurant during weekend nights book with time in advance.
Located since 2008 in Passatge de la Concepció and managed by the Majestic Hotel Group, Petit Comité is a tribute to the purest Catalan tradition. In a modern setting, impeccable to the very last detail, the chef Isidre brings the traditional dishes of the Catalan cuisine back and interprets in his own style some of the most popular classics. The dishes on the menu are made masterfully with the best products, so any visit to the restaurant is a real pleasure. Petit Comité, that welcomes us in a warm and relaxed atmosphere boasting an exquisite design, has a small private room for the most intimate occasions and a bar ideal for quick lunches.
Traditional Catalan cooking by Fermí Puig, the Michelin-starred chef from Hotel Majestic’s Drolma, is the theme in this contemporary design space, the Petit Comitè, serving around the clock from midday to midnight.
Local top chefs have started to move on…or back, as they return to the traditional dishes of the Catalan kitchen, reinventing old classics with great raw ingredients and improved techniques, treating your palate to new old specialties like poached eggs, stuffed breaded onions and traditional favorites including trinxat (chopped cabbage with potato and bacon) or caneloni amb béchamel de tòfona (canelonni with truffled béchamel) to the traditional dessert s like mel i mató (fresh cheese and honey), crema catalana, pears in red wine and chocolate fritters.

“Around the corner from Gaudí buildings” in the Eixample, this second enterprise by “superior chef” Fermí Puig (Drolma) offers a “delicious” taste of Catalan cuisine; both the “cozy” split-level space and “very good” service win compliments, so most don’t mind that it’s “a bit” pricey.
The restaurant is a small committee of Catalan cuisine restaurant, situated on the Paseo de la Concepció very close to the emblematic Paseo de Gracia in Barcelona. This is a modern and elegant tastefully decorated with dark wood tones.The cuisine is traditional with creative touches. Their recipes are developed as our grandmothers did, with love and with the best raw materials. Do not hesitate to taste the "trinxat" Cerdanya with bacon, sausage omelette Perola and garlic confit or civet of wild boar with onions.In the heart of Eixample district will discover a wonderful option to enjoy a wonderful romantic and intimate dinner at the hands of expert service and close. Do not hesitate visiting, the Petit Comité get surprised.
Few new restaurants receive as much hype and press as Fermí Puig’s latest venture, Petit Comité, which is always a dangerous place to be: nothing more likely to let you down than expectation.
So first, let me say how much I like the design. It could easily seem overblown or overdone, yet somehow it manages to stay warm and comfortable, the top spot being a place at the bar. What is rather overblown is the value placed on some of the ingredients, which, frankly, has gotten rather out of hand, but we’ll get to that shortly.
Like Joel Robuchon’s L’Atelier (Paris, and now London too) the menu is comprised of small raciones, with no starters or main courses as such. The idea being that you order, say, three each and share. It is also full of product and location specific references that you could only possibly understand as a dedicated foodie who’s lived and eaten in Catalunya for the last 20 years. But there is something rewarding in feeling that you’re tucking deep into the culinary heart of a nation (...) description of the dishes they had.
And so, although this has all been perfectly enjoyable, I feel that something isn’t quite right. The vibe, casual service (note there’s no sommelier) and dishes themselves fall into laid-back bistro territory. And yet, the flagrantly outlandish price for a vegetable with a hometown made me wonder if I hadn’t landed in, heaven help me, the strange sub-culture of food porn?

Secrets of Barcelona
While many restaurants and cafes in Barcelona are taking a new direction, there are still some that would prefer to retain their roots and heritage, with the Petit Comite Restaurant being one of them. One can find it in the Passatge de la Concepcion, located between the Rambla de Catalunya and the Passeig de Gracia.The menu in Petit Comite Restaurant largely consists of traditional Catalonian cuisine, although the chefs have placed an emphasis on trying to recreate and breathe new life into the dishes that have been part of the culture for generations now. The whole point of the restaurant is to cook up lost dishes and reinvent them as much as possible. As far as the atmosphere goes, it takes a fair amount from the modern, managing to be quite relaxing and welcoming at the same time. At the head of the kitchen is the famous chef Isidre Soteras, with the head waiter being Francisco Ibernon. They work well as a team, providing top-notch service every single day.
* The Petit Comite Restaurant offers a satisfying and refreshing experience, with the best part being that it comes at a very affordable price.
