Lasarte tasting menu
Hem / Mat, Dryck & Näring / Lasarte tasting menu
Signatures include squid tartare with green apple juice and liquorice emulsion, carabineros with avocado and celery, and marinated venison loin with truffled roots and amarena cream. Lasarte has such an extensive a la carte that it’s terribly hard to choose an option. Fine dining restaurants in Singapore cost at least twice as much, then you need to add a minimum of USD100 more for one of the most affordable wine bottles on the wine list.
He was very good at providing a recommendation to us based on our preferences.
The degustation menu
The Lasarte menu has seven dishes and a series of appetisers to start off which we paired with a couple of vermouth glasses as aperitif, and then two glasses of Catalan white wine as recommended by the Sommelier.
These were the dishes we had.
There are dishes featuring scallops, shrimp, crayfish, sole fish, sea bass or tuna.
Lasarte
Barcelona, Spain
Set within the Monument Hotel, Lasarte made history as Barcelona’s first three Michelin-starred restaurant in 2017. The dishes were innovative yet featuring traditional Catalan and Basque ingredients in season.
It was so long that it was hard to make a choice. It was by chance that, coming back to the hotel late before lunch, we inquired about availability and got fortunate enough to snatch a table just before lunch service ended. Service was cordial, elegant and professional. I loved every bit of it and there is little I can fault them on.

PHOTO RESTAURANT LASARTE
Chef Martin Berasategui’s restaurant Lasarte in Barcelona is one of the world’s best, which you’d come to expect from a man who holds more Michelin stars (eight) than any other Spanish chef.
On the pass is chef Paolo Casagrande who’s innovative take on Basque chef Berasategui’s cuisine earned the restaurant three Michelin stars in 2017, just over a decade after opening.
With just 35 seats, it’s one of Spain’s most excusive dining experiences; get a taste of it, below, via a video below from ElitLife, which shows just what to expect from the 15-course tasting menu.
Any meal that starts with five different butters is okay with us!
Comments
It was lovely.
Hotel restaurants are not always the first option that come to mind when you think of fine dining, as the atmosphere can be a little staid – however sometimes it’s worth making an exception.
- Appetizers.
- Queen scallop with mushrooms, quail egg, cauliflower and truffle.
- Crayfish and swede with cow shank broth cubes and lemon. So the Sommelier’s role was useful, especially since we chose not to go for the pairing options and wanted a recommendation that would go well with the dishes. This award also positioned Spain as the third country in terms of three Michelin star restaurants with nine, after France (25) and Germany (10).
Lasarte chef & Monument Hotel
At Lasarte, Berasategui does not cook, it is his Head Chef Paolo Casagrande who helms the kitchen and Joan Carles Ibáñez who fronts the Dining Room, but he places surprises in the menu and visits regularly.
You can find a description of each image below the photos. I have to admit I thought the snails were mushrooms which is probably why I enjoyed the dish without preconceived ideas.
