Melibea
Tour stop audio transcript
The story behind Melibea is told almost entirely through its design. The name Melibea comes from the famous 15th-century tragicomedy ‘La Celestina” by Fernando de Rojas. At this West Village eatery, Melibea is the actress and the restaurant is her stage. With a delicate, soft, and classic aesthetic, Melibea exhibits round curves, aged brass, walnut wood floors, and vintage velvet banquettes, evocative of an antique theatre in old time Barcelona. Melibea features contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. Drawing inspiration from the vast Mediterranean, including his native Spain, as well as flavors from Italy, Greece, Israel, and North Africa, our Chef dazzles diners by turning familiar dishes into an exploration of flavors, colors and design. Our two floor dining mecca recently unveiled the 80-seat ground floor, while the underground portion Duende, another 80 seats, is set for a late spring debut. Canvas, a six-person chef’s table and stage for our Chef whimsical gastronomy will also debut later this season.
