Birthdays and celebrations
For a birthday, christening or first communion with ten or more guests, we offer three celebration set menus with drinks included, a private room and an inner courtyard with trees. You’ll find us at Comte Borrell, 208, in the Eixample, inside the Hotel Zenit Borrell.
Where it happens
The dining room is spacious, with large windows onto the inner courtyard, and for celebrations there’s a private room so your group can eat at its own pace. The courtyard, with its trees and lights in the evening, works well for drinks beforehand, or for a standing reception if there are fifteen or more of you. The menus all follow the same order: starters to share, a choice of main and dessert with coffee.
See menus and pricesFor groups of ten or more. Water, wine (one bottle per four people), a glass of cava, bread and coffee or herbal tea are included. Each menu’s price is on the menus page.
Celebration menu 1
Starters: mozzarella and cherry tomato skewers, salt cod bites with romesco sauce, homemade cocido croquetas and aubergine tempura with cane honey. Choice of main: sea bream fillet on pea purée or Ibérico pork tenderloin on pumpkin purée with port sauce. Dessert: homemade cheesecake with a hint of Baileys.
Celebration menu 2
Starters: calamares a la andaluza, mini burger with caramelised onion, mussels a la marinera, homemade chicken croquetas and prawn tempura with sweet and sour chutney. Choice of main: sea bass fillet with wok-fried vegetables or duck bites with teriyaki sauce. Dessert: warm chocolate and walnut brownie.
Celebration menu 3
Starters: brie cubes with tomato jam, mini beef burger with caramelised onion, jamón ibérico on toast, homemade cocido croquetas and shrimps a la andaluza. Choice of main: honey and mustard salt cod with shavings of jamón ibérico or chargrilled entrecôte with gratinated patata caliu and peppercorn sauce. Dessert: chocolate coulant with vanilla ice cream.
With family or friends, from ten people. A tip for choosing your menu: dessert is homemade cheesecake in the first, a warm brownie in the second and coulant with ice cream in the third.
The family meal after the ceremony is arranged the same way: one of the three celebration menus, with a choice of main and drinks included.
If there are fifteen or more of you and you’d prefer something informal, there are three one-hour standing receptions with bites such as jamón ibérico croquetas or mini vegetable paella, plus water, soft drinks and house wine.
The menu includes a children’s menu with a beef burger or chicken escalope. If children are coming with your group, ask us when you book how to include it.
