Bellavista del jardín del norte
brother thing; the Messis & the Igesias
Entering Bellavista is like entering an adult playground, structured like a village with a carnival atmosphere that starts with the flower installation at the entrance. Visitors can send a postcard from a post box at the front, play vintage video games, browse through old vinyl records, walk through an old barber shop before getting to the main dining space a double height area with festive light fittings and natural day light which overlooks a huge interior courtyard, typical of the Eixample, which has a pristine lawn.
Being associated with the renowned Messi it’s obvious that the gastronomy here is influenced by Argentinean culture, itself a mixture of Italian and Spanish cuisine, adapted to local tastes. To coincide with the restaurant’s two year anniversary a completely new menu has been introduced created by chef Miguel Estrada who worked for four years at another renowned restaurant by the very famous Adria brothers, Tickets.

The ventresca (tuna belly) in olive oil and razor clams in mushroom sauce are guaranteed to get taste buds watering, while a number of vegetarian and healthy tapas options have also been added to the menu such as the tomato stracciatella, crispy tuna carpaccio pizza with pine nut vinaigrette, as well as other classics like the truffled chicken and foie.
