If there is one thing that Mick Jagger likes, it is none other than enjoying himself. He demonstrates this in concert after concert with his iconic dances—artists like Maroon 5 or Christina Aguilera have dedicated songs to them—and also in his free time, attending soccer games in the places he travels to and looking closely at the restaurants in those you will delight in during your stay.
The one chosen last night was Estimar, located on Barcelona's Sant Antoni dels Sombrerers street and famous for its innovative fish and seafood dishes. The Rolling Stones singer, who had previously enjoyed Rafa Zafra's dishes, was very clear that he wanted to see him again. So much so that, as the Andalusian chef himself acknowledged to La Vanguardia, he did everything possible to get a table for ten.
Zafra explains that his place was full this Saturday and that finding a free space is difficult, even if the customer is Mick Jagger himself. But the musician's determination was such that he ended up finding a formula with which everyone was satisfied. The former head chef at Hacienda Benazuza from El bulli invited six diners who had booked that night at his establishment to dine at Amar, the restaurant at the Palace hotel, where Jagger and Ron Wood are staying these days, who, by the way, is not He joined his teammate and preferred to go it alone after the Classic.
But it wasn't alone. A group of "very young" people, all members of his team, accompanied him in this gastronomic experience, in which there was no shortage of classics such as toast with butter and caviar - which they repeated -, clams, anchovies or crayfish carpaccio, the only dish with which he broke his rule of not eating anything raw.
The caviar bikini, which the singer already tasted with Leonardo Dicaprio at the Casa Jondal beach bar in Ibiza, was also not missing from the table because, as the head of Estimar acknowledges, it is one of his favorite proposals, as are the Palamós prawns in salt, with which he once again licked his fingers.
An appointment that not only Jagger enjoyed but also the rest of the diners, who cheered him when they saw him enter the door. Humble, the vocalist asked that the applause stop, since that night he was one of them.
And to end the party, the Paradiso. Zafra said goodbye to the star between 1:30 and 2 in the morning and recommended that he continue the route with the fourth best cocktail bar in the world, which until a year ago led the ranking. A toast is always a good way to end a busy day, worthy of a rock star.
