Background

About Melós

The Story

Melós opened on Carrer de Mallorca in late 2025, chef Miquel Pardo's first restaurant under his own name. The concept is structured around three tasting menus at different lengths and price points, each built from the same repertoire of Catalan-sourced produce and creative technique. Pardo's cooking references local ingredients, culinary memory, and the landscape of Catalonia while presenting dishes with the precision and intentionality of a serious tasting-menu operation. The restaurant earned immediate critical attention, appearing in Huleymantel's list of Barcelona's best openings of 2025 and receiving a detailed review from Observación Gastronómica in November 2025.

The Cuisine

Creative Catalan tasting-menu cuisine. Four menus share a common vocabulary of local produce, modern technique, and dishes with a narrative: a weekday-lunch 'Menú Il·lustrat' at €45 (5 courses, rotating), then three evening menus, Petit Melós €80 (8 courses), Melós €100 (10 courses), Gran Melós €130 (13 courses). Recurring signatures include a two-part quail course ('Quail: Life' and 'Quail: Death'), maitake and eel, skatefish casserole, 'La Paella' (Pardo's reinterpretation), and a dessert of tiger nut mole with fartons. The Gran Melós adds potato noodles in the sea and the eponymous 'Melós, Sea and Land' course. A wine list is central to the offering.

The Team

Miquel Pardo is the chef-patron of Melós. The restaurant is his personal project, a tasting-menu format built around his creative vision, referencing Catalan culinary memory while pushing the kitchen's own language forward. 's service score of 8.0 reflects a front-of-house that matches the kitchen's ambition.
