Restaurant Batecs

In the activities of  "Molins de Rei B de Gust" there was the chance of eating menús specially designed for the event by some restaurants from Molins de Rei.

I was lucky for being invited to experience the cooking of "Batecs" (Passeig del Terraplé, 35 - Molins de Rei, Barcelona) a little restaurant that worths to be visited. Its cooking is based on tradition and the products of Parc Agrari del Llobregat.

First, there was an apetizer consisting in a Salmorejo, tasty and creamy but not strong.

Immediatley, clams with vegetables from Parc Agrari... touhing heaven!!! Everything was cooked in its correct point and the basque sauce joined all in perfect simphony. I let the dish clean: bread helped.

After it, a juicy rice with cap i pota (beef head and leg) and red prawn. Wonderful. With a point of butter to make it creamy. Prawn, cooked with the rice temperature.

The roasted Pota Blava (chicken) with fruit and wine remembered traditional flavours. It is a Big Day recipe. 

And as dessert... ohh!! A light foam of catalan custard (so tasty) covering a refreshing tangerine ice-cream on a crumble.

For drinking I chose a Petit Caus Blanc, by Can Ràfols dels Caus, a very good wine that cleaned the palate without any astringency.

Batecs is at 30 minutes from Barcelona city centre in train, so it is a good option for the ones who live in the city, or will be during a time. I would like to end with a sentence: I ate the same way as the restaurants catalogued as "Michelin star without star".
