What seemed like a tantrum turned out to be one of the funniest anecdotes of the summer in Barcelona. Matt Damon, while visiting the city, surprised everyone by leaving a note at the Denassus restaurant in the Poble Sec neighborhood that at first glance might seem like an insult to the owner: "F*** you Alejo, work harder". Far from it, the message from the star of 'The Martian', among many others, was a joke directed with humor and affection towards Alejo Mailan, who that night was not in the restaurant.

The American actor had come to the restaurant on several recommendations. Both the hotel where he was staying and the cab driver who took him to the city told him about this establishment. After dinner, Damon wanted to meet the people in charge of the kitchen, but he could only meet Sergi Ruiz, the other owner. Mailan's absence led to the note, written in the actor's own handwriting, which the owners were quick to share on social networks.

"When he comes home (we'd love to be one of his favorite restaurants in Barcelona), we try to get him to dinner. Although he may miss one of the owners. How good Matt! We love you!" the owners wrote on Denassus' official Instagram account.

Mailan was there hours before Matt Damon arrived at the establishment

The story, which quickly went viral, was clarified by those responsible. It seems that Mailan had been at the restaurant hours before Damon's arrival, but as there were not too many reservations, she decided to leave for a moment. Little did she know that shortly afterwards one of Hollywood's most famous actors would be dining there.

The anecdote will remain in the memory of Denassus and its owners who, after the visit of an international star, will see an increase in visibility and popularity over other local restaurants in the area.
