Can Fabes (Permanently Closed)

Can Fabes, which opened in 1981 and closed in 2013, served typical Spanish meals for nearly three decades. It was the first restaurant in Catalonia to be awarded three Michelin stars.

With a rustic décor, this informal restaurant became the go-to spot for people looking for a relaxing and upscale atmosphere. It also encouraged visitors to socialize after their lunch at a roundtable. Can Forbes prioritize delectable cuisine and a friendly atmosphere? Chef Santi Santamaria was also a well-known avant-garde chef who was known for modernizing traditional Spanish food.

Blue lobster and hot-and-cold fish from the Ebro Delta were popular choices. It also produced special dishes to accompany the day's featured fish from the local market. Braised fennel with honey sauce and clams cooked with beetroots were also on the autumn menu. Fresh fruits, such as juicy pomegranates, and desserts, such as petit fours, were equally delicious.
