Bcn Restaurantes Hofmann left its old venue in El Born in order to give more space to the internationally renowned cookery school run by the cook and patissier Mey Hofmann, that has trained great Spanish cooks.
Mey Hofmann has chosen uptown Barcelona and has been in charge of the decoration of this new modern, spacious place with different private rooms.
The school pupils train everyday with their teachers at the open kitchen of the restaurant and delight their public with Mediterranean-influenced post-nouvelle signature cuisine with Catalan roots. Needless to talk about the presentation of the dishes, simply impeccable, attractive and refined. Although a starter and main dish can be far more than enough, it is literally a sin to leave the place without experiencing the pleasure of the desserts.
As everybody knows, a dinner at Hofmann is an unforgettable experience.

This was a popular Basque cuisine restaurant Laurak and now has been acquired by the well-known restaurant Hofmann School of catering. It is a modern great cuisine with well-done presentations and relax atmosphere.
Do not miss the deserts and its large wine cellars.
German-born, Catalonia-trained Mey Hofmann's locale, uptown just below Travessera de Gràcia, is a graceful designer space with a glassed-in kitchen as center stage. Hofmann's creative Mediterranean and international cuisine has been successful for more than two decades as a result of carefully selected raw materials and unrelenting quality in their preparation. Sardine tartare, foie gras in puff pastry, prawn risotto, wood pideon in two textures, and lovingly prepared baby vegetables are among the best choices at this carefully managed culinary tour de force.

Hoffman Restaurant is a restaurant with creative cuisine. Avant-garde and exquisite cuisine, with an impeccable and striking presentation, in a romantic atmosphere. Incredible desserts. Big wine cellar with international wines.
Hoffman's is a training school for the budding chefs of Barcelona. Mey Hofmann, the director of the school, opened it with the intention of giving her students an opportunity to try their hands at restaurant cooking. The menu offers wonderful Mediterranean fare and the prices are quite reasonable too. Even the decor is nice and welcoming, with potted plants and flower arrangements. It's evident from the restaurant's popularity that Hofmann's students do not disappoint!
New haute cuisine with distinct Catalan influences and beautiful desserts, all presented impeccably. How does chef Mey Hofmann's calamari with Catalan blood sausage and praline sauce sound? Hofmann herself calls it "simple and not overthought", with the praline sauce making an unexpected appearance. The squid are stuffed with the sausage, which was previously heated in the microwave in order to soften it up, the not-quite-boiled praline sauce is added, and then it's grilled. The result is fantastically crunchy and quite the combination.

“Right up there” on the top tier, this “busy”, “school-to-table” Mediterranean by chef/owner/teacher Mey Hofmann delivers “incredible” dishes and pastries “beyond words” amid sleek, multiroom surroundings in an “old” building just off Gràcia; sure, it’s “expensive”, but it’s more “affordable” than some, and a “lovely treat for a romantic evening”; P.S. closed Saturday–Sunday.
