Restaurants Tickets is the fun version of the famous and currently closed El Bulli Restaurant. Albert Adrià surely knows how to create vibrant concepts and with Tickets he achieved to serve the most inspiring tapas in a relax atmosphere. The place reminds us to a kind of happy circus. Relax in an interior with Fun decoration, a lot of vibes, a friendly service and not to forget accessibility with reasonable prices. This makes restaurant Tickets an unforgettable experience and must go in Barcelona.
The vision is clear and successful: at La vida tapa there is no place for boredom, sadness or loneliness but there is much for laughs, complicity and good company.
The place consists of different areas. “La Presumida” (the vain) is the reflection of Mediterranean Barcelona, of the blue sea and the shining sun in the morning. Diners will see the Barceloneta with balconies and blinds where they can enjoy a selection of seafood from various regions in Spain. The “La Estrella” (the Star) area is the key space for drinks. Following the same theme as “La Presumida”, traditional Catalan cask ale is served. A third area known as the “Gallinero” (Chicken coop) or “Camarote de los Marx” (the Marx Brothers’ Cabin) is located at the entrance and has been decorated like a box office from an old theatre. Next is “Nostromo” comprising a high bar with a futuristic look where “xuxis” (chuchis) are served. “El Garatge” (the garage), with the industrial aesthetics of a port container in Barcelona, is the place where the simplest and the most complicated is made, pa amb tomàquet (bread with spread tomato). And finally, the pretty girl: “La Dolça” (the sweet), magical desserts in Wonderland.
If you have never been able to get into El Bulli, Tickets is your chance to taste the well-known ‘spherical olives’. They can be ordered à la carte as tapas here. So on one side you will find here the craziest molecular dishes and on the other hand some pure and intense comfort tapas. This combination, this play, brings character, uniqueness and indeed lots of fun.
There is wide selection of dishes that can be ordered for sharing. You can give the kitchen carte blanche with a walk through the creative choices. The waiter will ask for the cover price that your group have in mind. For 60€ per person you have already a nice experience and for around 80€ you will have an amazing culinary journey. The kick off with a glass of cava sets the tone for a great experience.
