Young and Beautiful

I worked hard to get this seat, old lady! Do they even allow walkers on the metro? Come on, isn't it sometimes just a teeny bit annoying when some old person walks into the carriage?

Not that I have a problem with old people. I love my nan dearly, for example. I even pretend not to notice that loud throat-clearing decoy she makes every time she passes wind. But undue senior citizen entitlement can really get me up in arms. Or, rather, keep me stuck in my seat.

So I'm a great fan of the pay-your-age initiative by Semproniana, Ada Parellada's homely classic: a five-course gourmet sampling menu priced according to the age of the person. And to make sure that everybody can chew the food, the offer is only available to the under-30s.

And old people? Well, they can get a percentage discount equivalent to their age on glasses at GrandOptical. If they can actually see the ad, that is. Mwahahaha.

ALSO IN EAT & DRINK

  • Fully Tuned

    With the current infatuation of the top chefs with traditional dishes, they'll serve you cannelloni like your mum made them, just better - and definitely pricier. But to me, it's still meat in pasta with cheese.

  • Intimate

    Fermí Puig has decided to play it safe. At least the location of his new restaurant couldn't have come with better references.

  • Chilly Thoughts

    This Italian chain is planning for world domination and, in spite of the close to freezing temperatures outside, will be taking on Starbucks using gelatos and fruit juices.

  • It's a Jungle In There

    Cynics say that Asian restaurants in Barcelona need to spell out what kind of cuisine they're serving because, just by eating it, you wouldn't have the faintest idea. In Ly Leap's new restaurant on Muntaner, however, nothing's left to chance.

  • Dinner Chat

    I'm a simple guy who just fancies the prospect of cutting out the useless small talk over dinner. What's the point of “my day was fine, too”, when you can go “hush, I can't hear what he's saying”?
