Can't keep my hands out the cookie jar...

These chocolate and hazelnut cookies are simply divine! They're made by the Italian brand Mulino Bianco which has more deliciousness to offer. Another favorite would be the Baiocchi button shaped biscuits which have a hazelnut and cocoa filling.

These cookies remind me of my childhood so I absolutely had to have them when my friend reminded me of their existence a couple of days ago. I went on a mission and found them at an Italian grocer's  on Calle Provença 56, 08029 in Barcelona near the metro stop Estença. They can also be found on www.amazon.com these days.


Unless you live in Italy, Mulino Bianco products can be hard to come by but definitely worth it. 

Koy Shunka

One of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona is Koy Shunka. Owned by chef Hideki Matsuhisa and family members, this sushi restaurant boasts a choice between two tasting menus which can be enjoyed at the bar circling the kitchen, a great variety of dishes (raw and cooked) on the main menu and a rich wine selection.

The restaurant is quite upper class and therefore rather pricey but definitely worth it (and great for first dates with its cozy, tranquil atmosphere.) If you're not too keen on splashing the cash, you can always try Shunka which is less pricey, owned by the same chef and in fact opened its doors to the public before its sister restaurant.

Making a reservation in advance is recommended as the restaurant gets very busy and has limited opening hours. For more information you can visit their website below
