Eat dinner late at Taberna Matritum, where the curated tapas menu is paired with 427 bottles of wine and the kitchen is open till 12:30 am.
Mix high and low at Philippe Starck’s latest design venture, Ramses, where graffiti and steampunk flourishes meet avant-garde cuisine. The former warehouse serves bubble-gum-flavored vodka cocktails and entrées like white hake atop potato foam.
Make a reservation a few weeks in advance for a table at La Terraza del Casino, Ferran Adrià's more accessible companion to gastro-temple elBulli. Molecular specialties at the Michelin-starred restaurant include brioche with marrow topped with Beluga caviar, paella of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, and licorice cake with iced chocolate for dessert.
