The symbiosis of the world’s culinaries is fulfilled in this restaurant of the Eixample, which even though opened in the middle of the ’04, has already achieved a name and renown.

With an innovative and elegant décor, by the hand of interior designer, Rafael Salanova, Basmati gives its clients a recreation, which is coherent with the concept of this venue: a voyage throughout different parts of the world.

Elements decorated from India, Africa and the Middle East, are part of the Basmati environment. Same for the tables; all unique and hand-painted with motives of different historical stages and civilisations from ancient Greece, to Egypt, Persia, the Renaissance or XVIII Century Japan. All summons up to sheer delight, under a subdued and intimate light that makes the restaurant a place of choice for couples, friends and small groups.

More than multicultural cuisine, the Chef Alex Ferrer, prefers to call it “transcultural”, where there are not only dishes from here and there, but rather a transcendental mix in a joyful and creative “conviviality” of traditional Mediterranean, central European, Arab and Oriental recipes.

The completely hand crafted elaboration of the selected raw materials the production of the dishes together with the finest presentation of an exquisite taste, not to mention the liberal quantity, are the best evidence that affluence has little to do with empty and sad stomachs.
