Talaia Mar Review

This is the finest and most innovative restaurant at Port Olímpic, thanks to the sterling efforts of chef Javier Planes. His highly savory dishes are elegantly inventive, and his set festival gastronómico menu can include tuna tartare with guacamole and salmon eggs, or brochettes of lobster. Fresh fish arrives from the market daily and two of his top seafood specialties are merluza al vapor (steamed hake) in a balsamic reduction and lubina a la plancha con gambas (grilled sea bass with shrimp) flavored with asparagus juice. The increasingly rare black truffle also appears in some of his smooth and velvety risottos, and the roasted rack of lamb is excellent.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
