Gastronomy: Mediterranean Cuisine with International Influences and a Focus on Grilled Dishes

Ajoblanco’s culinary offering combines Mediterranean tradition with ingredients, techniques and flavours from around the world. Its menu features a selection of sharing plates, creative starters and main courses in which quality ingredients take centre stage.

Among the starters are seasonal grilled vegetables with whipped feta, sesame and chilli butter; burrata stracciatella with pistachio and confit tomatoes; and sea bass tiradito with coconut and citrus. Another standout is the free-range fried egg with red prawns and charcoal-grilled garlic, a dish that brings together quality ingredients and bold flavours.

For the main courses, the Bluefin tuna tataki with ajoblanco and almonds is one of the dishes that best reflects the restaurant’s personality. Other highlights include the Mediterranean-style creamy rice with red prawns, squid and queen scallops, alongside more internationally inspired creations such as paccheri with truffle and Galician-style milanese with fried egg and chilli butter.

The Josper oven is one of the kitchen’s main protagonists, adding smoky notes and enhancing the natural flavours of the ingredients. Its offerings include grilled octopus with smoked potato, Basque-style sea bass, Iberian pork secreto with red mojo sauce and aged beef fillet with Pedro Ximénez sauce. Meat lovers will also find Galician Blonde beef rib steak (IGP) on the menu.

The selection is rounded off with a variety of dishes to share, including ají de gallina croquettes, aubergine fritters with honey and cheese, Ajoblanco-style patatas bravas and Andalusian-style fresh squid with lime and kimchi mayonnaise. A varied selection that invites diners to explore different flavours and combinations over lunch or dinner.

Signature Cocktails and a Vibrant Nightlife Atmosphere

Ajoblanco’s cocktail offering is another of its main attractions. Its menu combines spirits, fruits, spices and aromatic ingredients in original creations such as the Saffron Sun, featuring mandarin and saffron; the Pisco Star, with pineapple and passion fruit; and the Fox on the Hill, made with bourbon, coffee and cinnamon. The selection also includes alcohol-free alternatives and classic cocktails.

As the evening unfolds, music and DJ sessions transform the atmosphere, turning the venue into a lively meeting point where guests can enjoy a drink and extend their evening without leaving Carrer de Tuset.
