Gastronomy in Spain: Carpe Diem, Barcelona

CDLC, Carpe Diem Lounge Restaurant and Lounge Club in Port Olimpíc combined all my favourite things- lounge music of course, chilled wine and fantastic food. We have not been disappointed in our choices of restaurants so far, but for one exception not even worth a mention. 
Buddha carvings- the decor is all circa 2000- think Buddha Bar. Lounge music. Chilled wine. Great food. Sun on my face. I could have stayed the whole afternoon but we had the kids in tow and our five year old did not quite see the appeal of lounging all afternoon. Pity.
Offerings are Mediterranean and Asian dishes with Arabian and Morrocan touches.  A sushi starter and Wagyu beef carpaccio.
The kids had Pad Thai & chicken wok. I tried the Matsaman style duck curry - asked for it spicy and it was delightful. Husband had the Kobe beef entrecôte.I could have gladly ventured to the kitchen to kiss the chef after I was so happy with our food. Everything was perfect! 
CDLC definitely makes the list of memorable places in Barcelona.
