“Food, in the end…is something sacred. It’s not about nutrients and calories. It's about sharing. It’s about honesty. It’s about identity.”
—Louise Fresco
I love the promo of Teleferic: A dinning experience that transports you to the vibrant city of Barcelona, Spain without the need for a passport. Cecile and I love the Tapas Style model of sharing meals with loved ones. It allows you to try a wide variety of flavors and cuisines in a social and cultural setting as well as a culinary one.
The Mediterranean-style decor includes whitewashed, latticework, hand-glazed ceramic tiles. Our attentive waiter was Julio from Columbia. Cecile ordered a glass of Sangria and I had a bottle of Estrella beer brewed in Barcelona since 1876. We essentially shared four dishes: Empanadas: Roasted chicken served with spicy aioli. It is brought to the table on a metal rack with the empanadas situated sideways; Spanish Meatballs: Tender beef meatballs in a flavorful ‘canary masala’ sauce and cream; Crispy artichoke with light pistachio foam and red curry; and the fourth dish we ordered was a Southern Kebab: seasoned beef skewers with tomato hummus and basil dressing. Everything was delicious.
Teleferic Barcelona Barcelona is located between Sephora and Anthropologie in Old Town Los Gatos. it features a large outdoor patio in front, an expansive indoor dining area, a hidden private dining room, and a Spanish Market with high-end imported products from Spain. They have a signature open kitchen and marbles 360 bar. Other locations include Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Walnut Creek, Barcelona and Sant Cugat.
Special thanks to Kim and Al Chien for the gift card to Teleferic given to me for my birthday last August that we finally got around to using and it was worth the wait.
