On my last day in Spain, I decided to head to Girona to eat at the number 2 restaurant in the world, El Cellar de Can Roca. The train ride was about an hour, so it was not too bad getting there. We arrived right around 1 at one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been to.
We quickly sat down and were treated to multiple glasses of champagne. After we decided on the feast menu, the rest is history. I just want to note that I am not going to explain each dish, but just provide pictures. My favorites were all the desserts, the suckling pig, lamb, steak tartare, sole and the onion soup.

I can easily say that this dining experience was one of the best I have ever had. At the end of the meal we got a full tour of the kitchen and got to meet all three of the Roca brothers, which was just insane. The food at El Cellar de Can Roca was some of the most unique, beautiful and delicious I have had anywhere. I can't wait to come back sometime in my life because it truly was a life changing experience.
