Before the family-run Tragaluz Group forged its mini empire of trendsetting restaurants, local literati and the design set hung out at its first opening, Mordisco, a late-night eatery where the Hotel Omm (the group's only foray into hotels to date) now stands. Now Mordisco is back, in a new location in the Eixample, and its old legion of fans is coming in droves. It's not just the nostalgia factor: Mordisco serves tasty little Catalan morsels made for sharing, such as succulent Montserrat tomatoes topped with tuna belly shavings, steak tartare, crispy deep-fried artichokes, or tostadas laden with local charcuterie. All this is served up in a two-story setting that incorporates a bright deli section for takeaway; a glass-enclosed, Scandinavian-style dining room with smatterings of art by the likes of Javier Mariscal (also a client); and a cozy upstairs lounge area for coffee and cocktails.
