The 50 best places for pasta in Barcelona

Had the best time here! First and foremost, our server Hector was not only funny but so open, helpful, kind, and beyond welcoming. He shared some of his story with us, answered questions we had, and was helpful in selecting what to eat. (I’ve attached various photos of the great food! Not pictured: the eggplant appetizer which, I admit, is one of the more odd things I’ve had, but wonderfully so! I suggest it a million times over, it was an eggplant confit with a Parmesan ice cream! We also had the calamari which was the right amount of salty and crunchy! Tens across the board!) Entrees didn’t disappoint and dessert was a perfect end to a perfect dinner service. As I find is fairly typical with EU restaurants, they were more than cautious about my nut allergy—very attentive and thorough.

absolutely LOVED this restaurant for its exceptional hospitality, delicious food, and industrial chic yet warm vibe. I have a severe food allergy, and they were so kind about accommodating it/explaining the menu. 10/10 would recommend and if I lived in Barcelona, I’d be back every week.

This is by far the best restaurant I’ve been to in Barcelona. The vibe and interior are absolutely stunning and create a fantastic atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was outstanding. As for the food — it exceeded all my expectations, especially considering the reasonable prices. The braised beef cheek was absolutely delicious: tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything was just right. I would recommend this place to everyone!

I loved all the appetizers and the desserts! The asparagus risotto had a bit too intense of a flavor for my taste, but everything else was excellent. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

PROS: Great service Enjoyable atmosphere Good taste Great location CONS: Small portions Their desserts lacked flavor, especially the cheesecake. Very plain.

A really cozy Italian restaurant with friendly service and great food. To start, we had the berenjena confitada, crudo de pez limón, and steak tartare, followed by the carbonara and the linguine with lobster. Overall, everything was very good, the starters might have even been the highlight. The only downside was the lobster linguine, which wasn’t our favorite since the strong cardamom flavor overpowered the whole dish.

Came after seeing the great reviews and it did not disappoint! The confit aubergine alla parmigiana was so flavourful and melted in their mouths, the spaghetti à la carbonara was perfection – probably the best carbonara of my life, and the grilled scallops were cooked to perfection, nice and tender with the fresh watermelon gazpacho. Jorge, our server, was so friendly and took amazing care of us. He is the one who offered all of the different recommendations and steered us in the right direction. He also welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm, making our final night in Barcelona very memorable. Thank you, Jorge and Benzina!!!

A good spot for Italian food! This restaurant came highly recommended, and while I enjoyed my meal, it didn’t fully meet my expectations. The staff were friendly, but ordering was a bit hectic. Some dishes stood out, especially the lamb and pumpkin lasagna, which were fantastic. A few pasta dishes, like the Genovese, could have been served warmer, but the flavors were great overall. Desserts were decent, though not particularly memorable. I’d consider visiting again to try more of the menu.

We visited Le Cucine Mandarosso as a family — my wife, our three kids, and myself — and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant are warm, authentic, and full of character, with a touch that feels like family heritage passed through generations. The food was excellent, among the best Italian we’ve had in Barcelona. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, especially Lucia, who went out of her way to guide us through the menu. As we asked about vegetarian and vegan options, she kindly explained everything and helped us choose the best dishes for our family. This restaurant combines delicious food, great service, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Truly one of the best Italian restaurants in Barcelona — we will definitely come back.

Cozy place, a bit hot in summer. Food was amazing, we are definitely coming back. Just one tip: make sure the forks/knives are clean before handing them out because they were a bit dirty. Other than that everything was fantastic :)

⭐ 1 Star This was honestly the worst meal I’ve had in Spain. We ordered three different pastas and two appetizers. One of the appetizers was a squash blossom, which was deep-fried—completely ruining the delicate flavor. The biggest issue, though, was the cold lasagna my friend received. When we let the waiter know, he brought over someone who seemed like a manager or head waiter. Instead of apologizing, he argued with us, saying they prepare the lasagna ahead of time and “it’s normal” in America, China, and Italy. I’ve been to countless Italian restaurants around the world and never once been served cold lasagna. The way he handled the situation was completely unprofessional. Rather than taking accountability or trying to make things right, he dismissed our concerns and doubled down. It left a sour taste in my mouth—not just from the food, but from the attitude. If you’re looking for authentic, well-prepared Italian food with good service, this is NOT the place. Terrible experience all around.

Bam! We love this cool, chill, rustic place with a hgreat ambiance, people and excellent food! We had the straccetti con speck which was super tasty, what a great combo of falvors with the creamy cheese and slightly spicy meat. Next, the linguini con vongole, which was some of the best we have ever had. To finish we had the carbonera, which for some reason I had never had in my life. Well, this was the place to get it, it was so rich , perfectly cooked and we could not stop eating it. We will definitely come ack soon. Go!

The food is incredibly delicious! So so good. Wanted to try the chocolate cake as well but they didn't have it, so definitely next time!

The most amazing food tucked away in one of Barcelona’s magic laneways. We were really lucky to stumble upon this restaurant whilst walking through the lovely quarter of Barcelona. The coolest decor, wonderful fresh food and excellent service. Highly recommend!

If you like genuine Italian food this is the place! Lots of locals is a sign for a good restaurant, heard the owner are Venetians with lots of passion for this kitchen. We tried the burrata salad, a pasta pappardelle with osso buco and a tomato spaghetti. To drink I had a glass of full bodied red wine at the right temperature. Small things that are important. Love the bread that was served quickly and nice to dip in the burrata. A place to recommend!

When we walked in, they told us the place was fully booked and there were no available tables. We asked if we could sit somewhere just for 30 minutes, and it turned out we actually had 40 minutes before someone’s reservation. Our whole dinner took only 20–30 minutes. So if they tell you it’s fully booked, ask what time the reservations start — you might still have time to enjoy your meal before someone else arrives. We had two pastas and a cheesecake — everything was super tasty. And sitting outside was really lovely!

We had a very nice dinner seated outside and really enjoyed the thoughtful service. The food was uncomplicated, honest, and delicious. A lovely, relaxed experience overall.

Extremely positive experience. Fresh food, really nice service. I tried 3 dishes and was satisfied with them: Bigoli in salsa venexiana de cebolla dulce y anchoas - brillant! Baccala mantecato, Sardinas en saor, Boquerones marinados, confit de caballa - the best!! Zamburiñas al horno - I always love them, herecthey were very good too. P.S.: no photos because everything was eaten extremely fast

Great Italian spot in Barcelona! They’re definitely known for their pastas, so I highly recommend trying them. We had the ragù, and the scallops were outstanding — tender and buttery. For dessert, we enjoyed a Basque cheesecake with a unique twist, featuring Parmesan. Some dishes are seasonal, so the menu changes regularly. The service was good, nothing extraordinary, but it met our expectations. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic, perfect for a relaxed meal. The only downside is that it’s a bit far from the city center, but the walk there is pleasant.

One of the best places I’ve been! Quality of food incredible and excellent service. The atmosphere was so nice and cosy. Recommend if you want an outstanding Italian food with very interesting wine list 😊

The food was fine altho the curious absence of any vegetables or greens on the menu was a bit disappointing. The roast kid shoulder that I had was beautifully cooked. But something green alongside it would have helped cut through the richness. I speak reasonable Italian but because I'm English the waiter decided to address himself entirely to my Spanish- Italian friend. After we had finished our meal are empty plates remained in front of us for over half an hour until I moved them to a neighbouring table. My friend would have liked desert but nobody bother to ask us if we would like to see the menu. So we let.

Hands down the best Italian meal I’ve had in Barcelona. The ragu was really excellent, as was the casarecce. All clearly homemade and incredibly flavoursome. The wine selection was fantastic. The decor and vibe of the restaurant is also wonderfully rustic. The service was extremely warm and friendly.

Pasta was cooked very well. Flavors were well balanced and portions were generous. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place. Do recommend reservations.

Amazing experience! The service was absolutely flawless – attentive, professional, and genuinely friendly. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel instantly comfortable. And the food… simply outstanding! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. A must-visit restaurant in Barcelona!

Amazing restaurant. The calamari appetizer was probably the best version of this type of calamari dish I ever had. The mushroom pasta had great texture and taste. Ditto for the mozzarella appetizer. All in all, can't go wrong. The service is great, we had an issue with one of the wines - got fixed, no problem.

Amazing food, atmosphere, and staff! I would come back any day. The wine was delicious, the food suggestions were perfect, and the staff’s help and guidance were excellent. For Italian food in Barcelona, this is my top recommendation!

Our appetizers were beautiful presented and amazing. The pastas were freshly made. We have the Tagliatelle with ragu that was nice. However, the crème brûlée with chocolate ice cream was a disaster. The crème were really soft and runny, coupled with the dark ice cream, the whole thing looked like a pot of mud. Stick with the tiramisu, which is ok.

Cute little place with lean selected menu. Everything is done differently and very meaningful and tasty. The atmosphere is divine, you can nicely talk without noise and the service was fast and stuff is very kind.

I had a great experience at La Bella Napoli! The pizza was absolutely delicious, I went for the one with potatoes, and they were super accommodating when I asked for a few changes. The result was perfect: a huge, generous pizza with amazing flavor. The tiramisù was also lovely: light, tasty, and beautifully presented. On top of that, the service was impeccable: friendly, fast, and attentive.

We came by opening on Saturday, got welcomed and could select a free table. Giving one less star because a cutlery was not very clean as you may see. Otherwise pizzas are very good, service also nice, friendly people. Also had a bottle of wine for 30 euros and it was a very good one. Thank you and will come back again.

This place is a must when visiting Barcelona. I was here 11 years ago with my sister and came back today and meet the same people. The food is amazing and the staff are beyond friendly. Can definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Food was good - pizzas were at a decent price/quality ratio and the pasta was delicious! The cheese sauce with the potato-based appetizer was amazing. Service was a bit slow towards the end of the meal - had to try 4 times to get the bill but it was a super busy evening.

Delicious Italian pizzas and calzones. Nice atmosphere. Food came quicky to the table. Recommended!

The first time I came here was in 2012 and was blown away by how good the pizza was along with the service. Since then, every time I find myself in Barcelona I come here at least once (if not more) for dinner and Bella Napoli never disappoints. It’s been 15 years now and I’m still a fan. Their pizza is the best in the city. Their staff are cheerful and friendly and the owner treats this as a labor of love.

Very Good and big pizza, really Neapolitan ! The staff are all from Neaples, very professional, kind and helpful. The Outside entrance isn' t very attractive but inside is very confortable, wide, simple but elegant. I surely recommend it.

Very nice place but food could be better, very basic flavours, for the type of place would expect something better, was good but I don’t think I would go back for the food itself.

The menu was limited, with no green salad. The sole fish was very dry. The pasta was good. The pizza on very thin bread was OK.

Despite its name, the restaurant is more catalan than Italian I would say. Great generous main dishes (fish, meat, rabbit etc), and not pricy at all. Simple and tasty, good food for the money, and a good option when looking for some local food too. To finish, maybe the best grappa in town (possibly courtesy, if you behave)

Awful, overpriced food in a place, that hasn't been touched for 30 years (don't get fooled by the pics, it's simply shabby!). Also the waiters couldn't care less about their work. The burrata tasted like mozzerella from a gas station. The pasta were overcooked, bathed in an uninspiring sauce. My company (Italian) had an OK lentil salad and equally disappointing pasta. (all ordered a la carte)

Wondeful time lapse of what new wave brought to restaurants in Barcelona, in front and with the Flash Flash they are modern landmarks. Food is acceptable, but the place is worth the detour!

Very quite and original place, with piano live music some days. Delicious pasta, not specially cheap, but very appropriate prize fot its quality. I really enjoyed the experience in general.

Decor is nice & original but would need some refreshing, the food is very basic for the expensive price, on the menu it looks haut de gamme but plates were very disappointing.

Had an exceptional dining experience at a hidden gem nestled in a hotel lobby in Barcelona. Despite the odd dining location (in the lobby bar area), the outstanding service and overall experience exceeded expectations. The tasting menu, featuring 20 meticulously crafted courses, left me in awe as each dish was explained in intricate detail and all very tasty (none was a miss!!!). The paired wines added another layer to the culinary journey, making it a delightful and educational experience. Awarded a well-deserved 1 Michelin star. Reflecting on this gastronomic adventure, I can confidently say that it stands as one of the best fine dining experiences I’ve had. Should my travels bring me back to Barcelona, revisiting this culinary haven would be a top priority—an unmistakable testament to its allure and the indelible mark it left on my palate and overall dining repertoire. 👩‍🍳🤤🇪🇸

Exceptional dining experience and team. The attention to detail was above and beyond in every aspect of our meal. Thank you for your hospitality, teaching us about Catalan wines, and pushing us to try innovative food with an emphasis on eliminating waste. 10/10 recommend, look forward to coming back to the new location in the future!

An exceptional dining experience sampling a sequence of outstanding small dishes made of local and exotic ingredients but grown in Catalonia and not imported paired with a selection of local wines ,every dish is explained by the chef preparing this in front of you. .culinary creativity and techniques paired with sublime aesthetics was applied on every single dish . An experience not to be missed while in Barcelona

What a great fine dining experience. Special focus on local Catalan food and wines. With a very special sustainability approach which we liked a lot! Special thanks to Marc for translating and explaining all to us in English. We really enjoyed our Catalan fine dining experience at AÜRT!!!!

Aürt was my first ever Michelin star, 20 course restaurant experience - I wish I could give them ten stars! There was so much variety in the dishes and the flavors were explosive. Service was also perfectly paced and everyone was so kind and welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys amazing food experiences!

This restaurant is siuated within the Hilton hotel, it is a nicely decorated restaurant however, the adjacent bar area initially was a little distracting in the first instance. However as soon as I was seated and the chefs began their culinary performance, my surroundings faded away, and I was immersed by the theatrics. The restaurant features approximately five distinct stations, each manned by skilled personal chefs dedicated to preparing your meal. This orchestrated experience is heavily centered around the theatrics of the culinary process, complemented by the opportunity to indulge in multiple courses from the taster menu. The menu showcased a variety of small, meticulously crafted dishes. Despite their size, these offerings collectively satisfied the palate, leaving me content by the meal's conclusion. Enhancing the experience, we opted for wine pairings, which further elevated our enjoyment of the evening. Undoubtedly, the Aurt restaurant provided an exceptional and enjoyable encounter in the vibrant city of Barcelona.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at AÜRT in Barcelona, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. The modern and chic design, the impeccable service and most of all, the exquisite food with the use of locally sourced and seasonal ingredients in every bite. Highly recommended and hope to come back anytime soon… A big thank you to the whole team!!!!

I went to this restaurant in 2019. My experience was very good! My friends and I order the disfrutar classic menu. It was plenty of food, I believe 10 or 12 options, all of them very unique and different. I liked a lot. However, my friends considered that the menu has to be less food and the didn’t like the tables. Despite that comments, I consider that this restaurant deserves the Michelin Star!

It took us 2 years to get a reservation at this restaurant so we were definitely looking forward to the experience. I am happy to say that the experience met our high expectations. While the decor itself is somewhat minimalistic it was a treat to see the different work spaces/kitchens and get an explanation for each. The service was well coordinated and the staff had great attention to detail. Each of the 28 courses was creative and beautifully presented. We were very happy with the diversity of flavors and textures. Hopefully we will be able to get a reservation to return next year to try a different menu.

We did the special Live table experience and it was amazing. The service could've been better though, no one really smiled or engaged with us much apart from the dish explanation, and the guy that was explaining the dishes had pretty bad pronunciation and we couldn't understand most of what he said the dishes had. It's one of those situations when they're not speaking for you to hear what they're saying, they just wanted to say it. The live table experience's appeal is that you have a private room with the chefs and waiters and the finale experience with the desers is from another world, really well done!

Disappointing. Had very high expectations but unfortunately the food didn't deliver. We choose the old menu, I'm not sure if it's still there to that day.. Except 2 dishes that were excellent, the Yolk and the Bun with the caviar that was one of the best bites i had in my life, the rest was nothing special. You feel so full half way down and it's just too much food they have to reduce the number of courses. The atmosphere is Cosy and very nice. The level of service is Top notch can't get better than that.

Seems to be one of those places where you don't want to meet your hero again. We had an extraordinary time due the first visit, but for this second tour we tried the 'new menu' as opposed to the classic and felt this story fell apart. We started with Disfrutar style dishes then halfway through with the Panchino the oil temperature wasn't quite enough for the outer surface of the bun so it was slightly greasy. The banana flavour from the Feijoa was too potent, lacking harmony. From here onwards, other then the golden egg dish which is their take on a Singaporean curry crab dish, there weren't any more surprises. For drinks, it was too humid for me to have wine so I ordered a mocktails and the Citrus option was very refreshing to have with the meal, acting like a pallet cleanser along the way. On service, I was disappointed they set on to our table the coulant and ice cream dish for my partner when the ice cream was partially melted and almost slid off the plate as the waiter set the plate down. Another personal experience I had was an annoying fly that I kept buzzing my table and I kept swatting during the later half of the meal. Not sure if the staff could have done something about that, otherwise the dishes arrived at a good pace never feeling rushed or too delayed.

28-course lunch, and most of the courses were fun and delicious. It took 5 hours for our group to finish, which sounds comically long, but I was never bored and found the portion ultimately perfect. Most service was excellent, but service for the wine pairing was infuriatingly frustrating. There wasn't a single course where the sommelier told us how many courses the wine paired with, so for most of the wines, we would either finish the wine before some of its intended pairings came out, or still had not tried it when it was time to move on to the next wine. I asked the somm many times but he never told us up-front. One time I asked him and he walked away and shouted an answer with his back to me. Another time I got out of my seat to find him because he didn't answer when I'd asked; another staff member asked if I needed help, so I let him know the question, and he gave me the wrong answer. Per person costs: lunch 315 euros, wine pairing 170 euros, water was 4.10 euros per bottle, and a 10% charge was added to everything.

A reservation worth the 1 year wait! Food here is clearly exceptional. Ordered their classics menu and was surprised by how connected the food was to the Spanish culture. Reimagined tapas dishes like Gilda turned into a cheese sandwich is unlike anything you’ll find around the world. Also the caviar bun could be a bite I remember forever. Textures and flavors are innovative yet familiar. Huge thanks to Rodrigo, Vicente, Vignette and Patricia for the wonderful service. Will most definitely try to return for their other menus.

Great authentic food. Small place with a real italian feel. Food was very good. Pasta cooked perfection. Generous sizing, but not too much. Vintage dishes to completer the look. Great wine by the glass.

After walking in town it was time for lunch. Nice relaxed place. Some tables outside. Had the daily menu with fish. All good. Also size not too big. Just perfect. Paid 22.90 euro for starter… gaspacho, fish of the day (salamon), glas wine, choco postre and corta. With bottle sparkling water.

Scrumptious seafood pasta, croquettes and beef pasta were the best of several dishes we ordered. We had a lovely outdoor meal on a shady cool street. Our waiter was very good too!

This place had the best muscles and goat cheese salad i've ever tasted. Service was amazing and the prices were very affordable.

Amazing pasta here! I ordered a sausage and fennel pasta which was one of the best I’d ever had of that kind. The serving sizes were also very generous. I came here with a big group and everyone really enjoyed their meals and we were also very happy with the service. I recommend this place to anyone looking for some authentic Italian food in Barcelona

Amazing food, with out of menu choices that are delicious, it's my Saturday night restaurant!Ciro is a very nice manager, I really recommend him!

The place was exactly what we were looking for, cozy, friendly authentic italian place, with decent portions, and really nice pastas. Only giving 4 stars, because they wrote the price of one our dish wrong on the final bill, which should not happen in my opinion in a 5star restaurant. The apologized and corrected our bill after we mentioned it. I really hope it was only a mistake and nothing else, i might return in the future, and hopefully i can edit my rating. 🙏

Some of the best Italian food outside of Italy. Very fresh ingredients. We did a giant mix of two different kinds of lasagna, gnocchi with seafood, and Bolognese pasta – everything was superb and the portions were very generous. Above all else, the entire staff was very kind and helpful. Real family feel atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

This is the best Italian restaurant that you can find in Barcelona! The gnocchi and the Lasagna… no comments, it’s amazing! But the Dolci.. specially the Lingote Pisttachio, I don’t have words to describe. I’m now a fan and a client of this place! Thanks Danilo and everyone. You made our weekend perfect with this food.

Absolutely delicious Italian food with generous portions — my gnocchi dish was a full 500g! The service was impeccable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great Italian meal!

Amazing dinner. Great host Don. Great food. Great desert. A must visit.

Generous portion of fresh pasta with the most incredible sauces. We tried the sicilian pistachio pesto & the bolognese and both were exceptionla. The staff have a lot of love and passion for what they make, taking the time to talk you through the menu - and are eager to offer takeaway boxes to anyone who hasn't finished their plate. The lemon limoncello shots with the bill were a lovely added touch!

Went here for my birthday and was very satisfied! Waitstaff were great, order anything with the homemade pasta. I had the pistachio pesto which was delicious, as well as the pesto with homemade gnocchi and the lasagna. A true Italian meal. Would definitely go back!

When you are visiting from out of town and hoping to find the perfect restaurant that isn't for tourists, has friendly staff, excellent food, and reasonable prices BelleBuon is what you should be lucky to find. They helpfully explained the menu when we sat down (they speak English) and showed us the page with all their homemade pastas. Also the lasagnas looked great but they said the portion size was large enough for 2 people and we each wanted to order our own. I had the vegetable pasta with marinara and my wife had the beef and bacon ravioli. Both were wonderful and about 15 euros each. The wine we ordered was delicious and make sure you order the bread basket. It might be the best bread I've ever had. Crispy outside, soft inside and warm and fresh out of their oven. We were too full for dessert but they still gave us a complimentary glass of lemon liquor! All of the staff were classy, prompt, humble but proud of their food and restaurant, and generous in their appreciation of their customers. Make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. It is popular and busy.

Very good food with tasty pizza but the pasta is the winning horse it was simply divine. The staff however but a real damper on the mood being incredibly rude. For example removing plates when it is clear both the person eating isn’t finished and neither was the rest of the party. Furthermore it was clear the staff just wanted to boot everyone out as soon as possible to get room for other guests, which sure they want to make money but 30 minute’s is kinda quick. Finally what felt worst was when we where trying to order and they constantly stooped stopped listening and began talking with another member of staff(it wasn’t even about something jobb related they were discussing football) the atmosphere was still nice however and i would still recommend the restaurant for its food even if the staff sucked

I had dinner at the restaurant yesterday and truly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and delicious food. However, I noticed a small detail that could enhance the overall experience. Typically, restaurants offer bread accompanied by olive oil and vinegar upon seating. In this case, only bread was served, and I had to request both the olive oil and vinegar separately. While minor, such details do make a difference and I hope they will consider this for future guests.

If you would like some real Italian food this is the place to be in Barcelona! I recommend the Pasta Carbonara! It was really rich in flavor. But if you go for dessert the tiramisu is the dessert to get. I would re-visit the restaurant just for the tiramisu. The service was also very good! Altough sometimes the waiters were a bit to quick. Already collecting plates while I was still eating my last bite. If I would have to describe the atmosphere, it was very welcoming and warm, you could hear that it was very busy, but even then it was a very pleasant place to be. Overall a 4.7 out of 5!

Honestly very bad pizza. Not sure about other plates, I only bought a margherita to go but the quality was extremely low. Not only were the ingredients not good, they were also not placed properly on the pizza, as you can see half of the pizza was missing cheese and a decent amount of tomato sauce. The place and people working there are nice though.

My partner and I ordered the focaccia, tagliatelle con salciccia napoletana, and pappardelle con ragú. The focaccia was in fact pizza crust and not real focaccia — would recommend changing the name of this dish as it is misleading. The tagliatelle was very good and would recommend, however, the pappardelle was not the greatest. The tiramisu was fantastic and the ambiance was perfect.

Amazing experience! The Restaurant has a really inviting atmosphere and the service was great. The food was also amazing. Best Pizza and Pasta i tried in a while! Please come and try for yourself.

I had a good experience and I’ll probably go again to try some other stuff. We ate the menu of the day which was pretty filling and the price was adequate for it. I ate the 4 cheese risotto and the sea bass and vegetables, both were delicious and so was the bread they gave us additionally. My friend had the pizza for seconds, which was bigger than we could’ve imagine for a “menu of the day”. The dessert was a bit of a downside but I guess it all depends on the day. Other than that the stuff seems rushed and the ambience isn’t great but it isn’t the worse either.

No frills tapas spot that’s perfect for a quick lunch and a favourite of Anthony Bourdain. Seemingly loved by locals and tourists alike, they offer a short menu of simple specialties that are certain to hit the spot. I had the fried anchovies and tomato bread topped with sausage. The service was excellent and straight to the point. Seating is limited so some choose to stand and eat at the bar. A must visit for anyone traveling to Barcelona.

A tiny but very cosy and authentic place not far from the shore. The place is buzzing with locals having beer or local wine. There are only 4 tapas available (fried anchovies, toast with anchovy, toast with sausage, tomato & onion salad) but all four very tasty, especially the fried anchovies. I highly recommend!

It's a great place. It's a very small and cozy place. Sometimes you have to eat standing up, but it's worth it. The tapas are delicious and very cheap, but the portions are very small. Only local people come. It is not well known to tourists. You can have a quick bite and continue spending time in the old town.

Suppose to be Anthony Bourdain’s favorite place to visit in Barcelona. Just 4 items on the menu so while it’s nothing fancy, the food is really homely and there’s lots of locals dropping by for a quick bite before heading off. Nice place to grab a bite in the gothic quarters before heading out to walk around.

Traditional, authentic and delicious tapas! The interior is stunning, so rustic and cosy. The chef is always there which adds a lovely personal touch. 10/10, must visit!

Traditional tapas bar with great and delicious food options. Their vermut is kinda the star, but the service is super good too. There is a butifarra there amazing and the pescaditos(small fried fishes) goes really well with the vermut or the beer

This place was so authentic and absolutely loved the small tapas menu - white cod fish in a cone and anchovies were delicious. Perfect stop for a beer and snack while wondering around Barcelona

Great meat cuts, fries and salad. The asparagus could been better both done and plated. Same remarked about the platting to the meat. Service was good though i hate plates being taken from the table when there is still food on them. In total great vfm

The atmosphere is great and the restaurant is overall nice. The first guy that took our order was attentive and serviceminded, giving us some good advise regarding which wine to choose. However the guy that then served us and stood in the bar at the outside patio seemed like he didn’t want to be there or something. The food was really good but not amazing. Unfortunately this was our last day in Barcelona for this trip so we didn’t get to try some of the other steakhouses to compare. If I should give one tip to others it would be don’t get the fries. They may seem nice on the picture but they were NOT crispy at all. Overall we were happy and full.

My recent visit to Solomillo in Barcelona was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. This restaurant truly stands out, offering not just exceptional food but also impeccable service that makes you feel truly valued. The star of the show, of course, was the food. Each dish was prepared with precision and passion, showcasing the finest ingredients. The flavors were exquisite. A highlight is their unique approach to meat, allowing you to customize your experience by choosing the breed, weight, cooking point, and cooking method, complemented by your choice of sauce or garnish. What truly elevated our evening was the outstanding service, particularly from our waiter, Anna. She was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly. Anna's recommendations were spot-on. Her professionalism and kindness are a true asset to Solomillo. I highly recommend Solomillo to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in Barcelona. Whether you're a local or a visitor, you're in for a treat. Thank you, Solomillo, and especially Anna, for a truly great evening!

This restaurant is quite upscale and expensive. True to its name, Solomillo specializes in their signature dish, with a variety of options to choose from—all of them absolutely delicious. Highly recommended, but be prepared to splurge!

This place is absolutely an upscale and nice restaurant with the quality of food, drinks, behavior off staff and the ambiance. You can find many different types of meat, different breeds and cuts. Everyone speaks very good English yet alone our host Ana was a very nice lady explaining everything in detail and giving to-the-point recommendations. We were very happy with her professional and spotless service. We tried 4 different types of meat each 125gr portions and then decided to order another 250gr of Rubia Gallega (some people may not find it compelling because of its intense flavor but I loved as a carnivore trying different meats all over the world) We did not fall in love with the red wine we tried but it was a totally different brand and grape we just would like to try so that's totally OK. Prices are not cheap but I think it totally worth it.

A carnivore’s dream. The staff was very helpful and actually kept us from ordering way too much food. Every bite was delicious. We had the A5 wagyu and it was delicious, very well priced. The steak tartar was also a great addition. The whole meal was top notch. The restaurant was not crowded and we basically had a server at our side for the entire meal.

Visited on a weekday at 8pm and the restaurant was quite empty with only one other table. 2 more tables got seated before we left Service was very, very professional and good! The appetizers and sides were all excellent and well executed It was also great being able to sample different cuts since you can order small portions of 4oz. We tried the Frisian, Rubia Gallega and Buey. The R. Gallega and Buey had very, very intense flavour, almost game-like. Personally I did not enjoy it as I don't enjoy gamey meats like deer or venison. However, you might enjoy it. The Frisian was my favourite as it was not gamey and more like the steaks I usually like. Toilets are clean and well equipped Overall a very enjoyable dinner experience

Great napoletan pizza but why so expensive? Parking pizza is indeed a great place to have nice pizza - each location never disappoints. But… - the staff was not really happy to accommodate a group of six for no reason. And even though we were seated, staff was using every single opportunity to make us feel quite uncomfortable as a group - >15€ for pizza in Barcelona? Although really tasty, the price is absolutely ridiculous and it keeps climbing since months

Wonderful experience! I’d like to thank the entire team for their excellent service and kind attitude. I had a small incident during my visit, But Jessica handled it so professionally and gracefully. Truly appreciate the great hospitality!

Best pizza we’ve had in Barcelona! The atmosphere is young and loud, but in the best way! Everyone is clearly enjoying themselves and the amazing food. The staff are friendly!

Located just behind my B&B, this pizzeria caught my eye with its bustling crowd and mouthwatering pizzas. Intrigued, my friend and I decided to give it a try the following evening. Our expectations were met with delicious, perfectly cooked pizza. The dough was exceptional, and the tiramisu was devoured in minutes. The friendly staff added to the enjoyable experience.

I tried two pizzas, the number 4 (stracciatella) and the number 7 (pesto and tomato). Both were delicious, but the number 4 was definitely the standout. I’d happily go back to try more options.

This is a very tasty oven-baked pizza. I recommend everyone try it. The staff is friendly.

Very delicious 🤤 and very good service Best pizza in Europe 🥲

Very amazing restaurant. It’s impressive that the chef greeted us in person. A huge kitchen in the center. You can watch how they are prepare the food while eating. The food is creative and well presentation. Highly recommend this Michelin 3 star restaurant. It could be the best in the world.

Exceptional service and food. Opted for the wine pairing and was amazed at several selections. Recommend the 30 year tawny port, truly a standout. Hard to pick best bite, but the langostine and lamb were truly sensational. Best starred restaurant we have been to--total experience was truly top notch, 3 stars deserved.

An unforgettable dining experience. The seating, arranged like an amphitheater, gives you a perfect view of the team at work — and what they do truly feels like art. Every movement is precise, fluid, almost like watching a perfectly choreographed dance. Beyond the food (which is exceptional), it’s the rhythm, focus, and grace of the team that make this place truly special. A must-visit for anyone who loves food as performance. ✨

The staff and service were amazing. They treated me with courtesy and I enjoyed the ingenuity and creativity of every dish. The artistic detail, textures, and overall evolution of progression of the courses were a delight. My photos are candid and don’t enough justice to the beauty of each dish.

Among the very best restaurants in all of Spain, and one of our most favorite dining experiences worldwide. Wide ranging, well balanced, adventurous flavors which are overall near-perfectly balanced in every single plate. Excited for our next visit!

This is what a true 3 star experience should feel like: special, creative, professional, memorable and efficient. These chefs and staff delivered on everything and I feel lucky to have had the experience. The food was executed with such precision and balance. Every component and combination felt right and worked together. A seafood heavy menu featured so many highlights like the mackerel, crab, langoustine. But my fav bite was a surprise: an aged eggplant in a roasted veggie broth. That broth was unbelievable, umami and depth of flavor was crazy in something so understated. Service was as expected, professional. There when you need them and standing by when you don’t. One of the chefs came over before the meal started to say hello and welcome us. The other personally delivered one of our courses later which was a nice touch. The vibe and atmosphere was sophisticated but not stuffy. The open concept center kitchen creates transparency and connection between kitchen and customer. Also makes you feel like you’re watching a show which you are, one that you are a participant in. Aesthetics were elegant and beautiful. Verdict: would return and recommend!!

(Visited in 2024) Food and wine: most dishes we had on that night were executed well and beautifully presented. It was a really good looking meal, very photogenic, but flavor wise there was nothing memorable that would make us come back again, though. They served stingray for us which was an interesting take but its urea smell was apparent. Their wine selection, on the other hand, was almost impeccable. We asked for recommendations after giving our preferences and what we got did not disappoint at all. Food sanitary: questionable. They used red suede jewelry boxes to serve desserts, I asked the servers if they reuse the boxes, they said yes they use the same boxes every day but didn’t explain how they sanitize or clean them. The box cannot go into dishwasher or typical washing machine. Its material won’t even stand washing by water, actually. My only guess is they don’t clean them at all. Service: definitely great service you could expect from fancy restaurants. They always have at least two servers to serve every course, which I’m not against but seems to be overkill. I do wish their servers could speak better English though. There were a lot of things that they couldn’t explain to us due to the language barrier. Ambience: instead of the main dining area, they seated us in a separate room that looks like a cafe / resting area used by their employees. There was fridge inside and even a microwave on the table. The pro is the it had bright lights and taking photos were easy. The obvious con, however, is it gave us an atmosphere of having a meal in the middle of work. It felt stressful and uncomfortable, not the kind of ambience you’d expect when dining out. I don’t know why they wouldn’t seat us in the main dining hall - we were the only table that got seated in their employee room on that night. I also saw the most pretentious thing there - they make every employee wear red sneakers with 3 Michelin stars on them. Like it’s their best accomplishment, ever. Such an eyesore. It’s a Michelin 3 star rated restaurant, and I rated my experience based on that standard. Unfortunately it was subpar in many ways.

We had a reservation, but it didn’t seem properly confirmed. It might have been partly our fault, but since they said they could serve us, we went in. After being seated, we waited 20–30 minutes without even getting menus, while guests who came in later were already enjoying wine and receiving theirs. If they didn’t have enough staff, it would’ve been better to just say so instead of letting us in. Most staff were trying to be nice, but one of them never made eye contact and felt dismissive, which was unpleasant. Service training seems necessary. The food was okay, though a few dishes were a bit fishy.

I recently visited this 1-star restaurant and unfortunately experienced several service issues that detracted from the overall dining experience. To start, our order was incomplete, with one of our dishes and the bread service forgotten. Additionally, the staff failed to return my bag to me when we finished our meal, requiring us to go back to the restaurant to retrieve it. This was an incredibly frustrating and disorganized experience. While the food itself was fine, the lack of typical 1-star niceties like an amuse bouche or petit fours was noticeable. The serving staff also seemed disinterested in providing information about the menu items. Overall, the service problems were the main issue here. I would encourage the restaurant to focus on improving order accuracy, attentiveness of staff, and ensuring a seamless experience for customers. With some refinements, this establishment could potentially provide a more enjoyable dining visit in the future

Possibly the best meal experience of my life. Staff were amaaaazing, food was delicious and the restaurant is gorgeous.

We were excited to eat here, although staff at our hotel had expressed admiration and surprise when we told him we had a reservation here. The amuse and snack course were delightful. But honestly the rest of the menu was too Catalan for my taste. The sea cucumber and pigs ear terrine, ugh no thank you. Over the course of this trip alone I had much better, more palatable versions of this duo. The zucchini flower was nice as well as the pork main, but nothing mind blowing. Desserts were nice too. The only service failing was the introduction of the wine pairing late, and only after we asked about it. But that seemed to happen at several of the starred restaurants we visited on the trip. Vibe and ambiance were lovely, aside from silly looking outfits for the female staff. Overall, we left bummed that we didn't like it more. Everyone else in the restaurant were Catalan, and seemed happy, so perhaps this is a matter of nostalgia and acquired taste we just didn't share.

It was a wonderful dish that combined respect for Catalan cuisine with their own unique creativity. The service was very kind and made me feel comfortable. The seafood was excellent, but the only disappointment was that the main dish had been changed from Iberian pork to duck breast.

A wonderful and very delicious degustation menu experience, with a wonderful progression of flavours, outstanding matching wines, and flawless service. The entrance is quite dramatic with a fabulous jelly fish light installation inside the stairwell as you walk up to the restaurant, which foreshadows the unique experience that awaits.

An absolute must! The restaurant is actually on the 1st floor of an apartment building, so it feels like you are going to visit friends. The atmosphere is great and very cosy. The food is great! One of the dishes was named "Taste of the sea" and it really tasted like the sea - the breeze, the salt, the fish...absolutely amazing! Good wine selection and a very enjoyable evening. Will be coming again...and again...and again...Thank you for a fantastic time!

Incredible tasting menu experience of unique flavors. An absolute must-go if you’re in Barcelona, book in advance. They offer 2 tasting menus €68 (7 courses + 2 desserts) and €82 (10 courses + 2 desserts). The stand out dishes were the seasonal lagrima peas, mackerel and the smoked matcha cheesecake - wow!

Had a very memorable meal here. I enjoyed all the dishes and the wine accompaniment really enhanced the experience. Would definitely come back.

Our favorite dinner in Barcelona including Michelin star experiences. Did the bigger tasting menu and everything was incredible including fish we typically wouldn’t eat. Can be hard to find off Google maps but it’s in the market.

A fantastic dining experience! We had 12 courses (cuz why not) and each one of them gave a different palate sensation. Paired with wine of your choice( I recommend the orange wine). Chef Alessandro created several dishes that were absolutely mind-blowing, especially the salad dessert and cacao dessert. During the evening, he was very engaging and made the experience fun and educational. We absolutely loved it. Personal favorites: jellyfish, white asparagus, pig trotter, scallop carpaccio, soup dumping! The cherry on top is the sweet wine, a perfect digestif to end the evening.

Fantastic dining experience. Cannot recommend it enough. I want to revisit. I recommend sitting by one of the six seats by the counter instead of outside. Watching the preparation of the dishes is half the fun. Highlight was the local pea dish, least favorite was the goat, but getting worldly flavors and takes on local classics served with love and enthusiasm is what it's all about. Staff was fantastic.

What an experience. A super small and absolutelly unique restaurant inside La Boquería market. Just go with the tasting menu, eveything is fantastic and you'll get surprised with a lot of the dishes! All of them have something special even when they look like something "ordinary". Mediterranean fusion cuisine with inspiration and ingredients from absolutely everywhere in the world. The staff made the experience completely fantastic, it's amazing when you see people excited over their own work. I'll definitely come back.

A Fusion Feast of Japanese Delights at Direkte! Stepping into Direkte was like embarking on a culinary adventure where Catalunya met Japan in perfect harmony. We decided to go all out and ordered the big menu, and let me tell you, it was a decision we did not regret! The summer vibes were evident in every dish, and the freshness of the ingredients was unparalleled. With a delightful abundance of fish dishes, Direkte truly captured the essence of the season. Each bite was a celebration of Japanese flavors infused with the bountiful Mediterranean catch, creating a symphony of tastes that left us craving for more. But it wasn't just the food that impressed us; the wine recommendations were exquisite! We decided to try both orange wines and white wines to complement our meal. The server's knowledge of the wines and their ability to pair them perfectly with the dishes was commendable. It added a delightful touch to the overall dining experience, elevating our enjoyment to new heights. Speaking of the service, I can't help but give it a resounding ten out of ten! The staff at Direkte were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They guided us through the different courses, explaining each dish with passion and making sure our dining journey was nothing short of extraordinary. The chefs at Direkte truly showcased their talent by combining these two diverse cuisines with such finesse, creating a unique and unforgettable gastronomic experience. One thing that I would change was the first dessert, it was tasty but I prefer something else than lettuce for that kind of step.

Good, But Not Exceptional The food was tasty, though not remarkable, and some dishes felt overpriced (€22 for four lamb rack pieces…). Friendly service with good recommendations, but the 10% tip suggestion on the bill was awkward—unusual for Barcelona. Value for money: 7/10.

The food was spectacular, great service , super nice waiter , they make a great gin tonic without alcohol and the pasta and gnocchi are house made , I can only recommend going here.

What a special place this is. We were recommended to go here by friends from NZ who dined at Galu when they visited Barcelona last year. We had a marvellous evening, we were so warmly welcomed by not only the waiting staff but also the chefs. Food was outstanding. Thank you.

This was my first time visiting Barcelona and this was one of my favorite meals of the whole trip! ✨ absolutely delicious food and incredible service from all of the waitstaff. I think reservations are encouraged because it’s very popular but they were able to squeeze us in which we really appreciated!!

Great service from the moment we walked in until we walked out. One of the best risotto’s I’ve had. I’m not a big vegetarian but the pan seared artichokes were amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant when visiting Barcelona.

We are from NY/NJ…thus we believe we know good Italian. This restaurant features homemade pasta - bread - incredible flavors at extremely reasonable prices. Service is outstanding… not sure what to order… speak with Migual about your personal flavor profile and he’ll point you in the right direction. Reservations are recommended. We highly recommend this restaurant for an excellent dining experience. BTW: wine and cocktails available.

We ate here twice during our week in BCN! The food was fresh and delicious with local specialties each night in addition to freshly made in-house pasta. There were good antipasti and dessert options as well. The service was attentive and polite and we were able to really relax and enjoy a delicious meal!

I was really impressed with this place! The staff was super friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience better. My food came out really fast, and the pizza was absolutely amazing—honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, delicious toppings, and so fresh. I’ll definitely be coming back again! Suggest making reservation

Loved the experience here, they really take care of you with excellent service that’s warm as well as very helpful. The wine of the day was a Chardonnay that I loved and we got a red that was suggested by the staff and was great as well. I got the celery cream pizza and it was very good. My girlfriend got the margherita which was excellent as well. The meat platter had a good mix of the familiar and new and we loved it. It came with a side of focaccia. Finished off with a very good tiramisu. Will be back to try more of their interesting pizza choices!

We started with the stratchiatella and the focaccia! Both were very good! Then we got a few pizzas, plain, the pepper one, and spicy chorizo! They were all very good! The pepper one was super interesting and pretty good! Chorizo and plain were both great i would say 7.8 on the portnoy scale. Crust was a perfect 10 but sauce and cheese were a bit basic. Next time would get the strachiatella on it. For dessert we got tiramisu and hot cheesecake. The cheesecake was interesting. It wasnt sweet it tasted more like asiago and actual cheese than a cake. The tiramisu was great!

Hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had! I especially loved the Aubergine Parmigiana and the Roasted Cauliflower & Parmesan (not pictured here). The ambience and service made the whole experience even better absolutely worth it!

The pizza was amazing — hot, fresh, and full of flavour! However, the service felt a bit uncomfortable at times. Still, the delicious taste made it worth it.😍

Visited on a Monday night right before open without a reservation. If you are set on having this pizza, definitely do what you can to secure a reservation as the walk in system right at open was a bit hectic. I’ve had my fair share of pizzas from a wide range of spots so I entered here with high expectations based on the awards. I’m also generally skeptical of “best of” awards. Let me tell you, Sartoria Panatieri deserves what they’ve accomplished. This wood fired, Neopolitan style pizza is outstanding. We started with the rosemary focaccia which was so fresh and soft with a nice subtle taste. The two pizzas ordered were the classic Margherita (tomato, basil, and mozzarella) and the spicy chorizo. I loved both. A classic cheese pizza is my baseline to assess a new spot but the spicy chorizo meat itself was spectacular with such good flavor. Lastly, I had read just a few reviews critiquing the service. These pizzas are cooked in wood fired ovens with limited capacity. What I noticed was a strategic operation of when pizza orders are taken, placed, and delivered, based on seating time. For a party of 2, our time was about 75 minutes, I think this is perfectly reasonable. Don’t hesitate coming here for when you desire something other than tapas.

Walked in as a party of two on a gloomy Tuesday afternoon for lunch last week. My brother and I walked in around 2:15 pm. We were not acknowledged by the host for about 5 minutes. Finally she approached us and asked if we had a reservation, we did not. Given the fact the place was only half full and only open until 3:30 pm, I figured we would be able to get a table, which we did, but under the host’s conditions of having a hour limit at our table and having to sit at a communal table. These conditions were odd because there were many open tables and they closed in a hour and 15 minutes, yet she felt the need to tell me we could only be there for a hour. There wasn’t a communal table active until we were seated. Not a big deal, we sat down. Shortly after we are seated, two other Arab men were seated at our communal table. It was a 4 top table they made into a 6 top by putting chairs at the ends of the table. This wasn’t an issue for me initially. I ordered the olives, the tomato salad, the charcuterie board and two pizzas. I noticed the two guys sitting at our table were adamant about not having meat, I was assuming they are North African and were avoiding pork, yet our charcuterie board, filled with pork was placed in front of them instead of us, when I corrected the runner and it was placed on our half of the table, I then saw we literally had no room for the two pizzas we had coming. Keep in mind, all of the surrounding tables around us were empty. It felt like they just put all the Arab men at one table, I felt like I was Black in Jim Crow times for a moment. Frustrated by their mistake, the lack of room we had, and the fact we were surrounded by empty tables, I flagged down my server and asked if we could move to our own table. He left for 5 minutes to go speak with the manager, only to come back to say they have some reservations coming in but he can ask his manager, which is what I thought he did already. He then comes back with the manager and says they were able to move us to our own table. I said great, let’s do it, but then the manager came and got in my face and told me that they are always busy and that I need a reservation to get a table usually. I tried to explain to him he was not being hospitable, but he seemed he only wanted to start a scene in the middle of the dining room, so I just said ok dude whatever and went to my new table. At this point, I feel like I was discriminated against and felt like I had to shrug off a fight. Keep in mind, I own two James Beard nominated restaurants and have worked in hospitality my whole life, I always go out of my way to get people seated and feel comfortable. The host and manager here do not get hospitality. Maybe the accolades this establishment has received makes them feel like they can treat guests rudely. Keep in mind they had about 20 people working to tops 30 people in the dining room and we did not see one smile. On to the food…… I did not care for the olives at all, which is actually so hard to mess up, I love olives. They tasted fishy which threw me off and the bowl had an equal amount of caper berries to olives, which was also odd. The tomato salad was boring and the tomatoes themselves lacked color and were not ripe. The charcuterie sampler was good, I particularly liked the head cheese with the focaccia it came with. The focaccia was tasty but a little chewy and doughy. Then we got the spicy chorizo pizza and the seasonal padron pepper pizza. The chorizo pizza was fine, and the padron pizza was just a straight miss. The padron cream they puréed had no business being the base sauce for a pizza and overall it was bland, the sausage on the pizza was the only thing that was seasoned, even the cheese was somehow bland. Most of the staff here either looks lackadaisical, entitled or just miserable. To the staff who act entitled and pretentious, remember, aside from the irrelevant awards your work place has received, at the end of the day you work at a place they serves flat breads, don’t take yourself so seriously, instead embrace hospitality instead.

I was very excited on the way here, as on paper the menu looks very interesting. However, when the food came it was generally overly salty. The sweet potato “tagliatelle” felt more like a salad than a pasta dish because the shredded sweet potato is not as calorie rich as real pasta. The gluten free, vegan pizza was better, but along with the rice noodle wok dish rather salty. Chocolate cake was a bit soft and very sweet, the pistachio ice cream that comes with it was good. It was interesting to try but I wouldn’t come back. Service was excellent, and the venue is very nicely done, hence still 4* overall.

Beautiful Scandinavian / Moroccan vibe. Great combination of flavours. We had the sweet potato tagliatelle. It was healthy and yummy. We both stated being coeliac. The menu was labelled clearly what meals had gluten in. I felt very at ease, would come back again!

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding-very delicious and flavorful. The atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable. We highly recommend this place to everyone!

Something a bit different than usual. Very tasty and surprising food. All vegan and/or vegetarian. I'd never heard of some of the dishes, but everything was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. If you're looking for a surprise, definitely eat here. Booking in advance is recommended.

Love everything! As a vegetarian for 15 years finding a nice place where they really cook and experiment with food is amazing to find. The filled zucchini flower with ricotta was amazing together with both pizzas.

Really great vegetarian place with nice ambiance and very chill vibe. The cauliflower was really good but the best dish I tried was the mushroom katsu sando (so good I forgot the pic). Amazingly balanced dish.

Excellent vegan food and the place is beautiful but the service is sooo slow. 4.5 hours to serve a menu in a business day. You have to wait quite a lot in between meals!

Classic menu was really great with a diverse range of flavours. It was a LOT of food surprisingly and each dish gave something different. Their booking system is fairly chaotic which they should definitely clean up. Also maybe value for money could have been better but overall, a worthy experience.

Best meal we have had in a while. Lovely service! We went for classic with pairing, and it’s excellent. The prawn dish and strawberry dessert went extremely well with the wine. If you’re visiting. You have to try! Would come back for the full menu.

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Suculent. I’ve eaten at a lot of great restaurants, but this was easily one of the top dining experiences I’ve ever had. We did the tasting menu with the wine pairing, and every single dish was spot-on perfect. The pairings worked beautifully and really elevated the whole meal. What really made the night, though, was our server. I feel terrible because I can’t remember his name (it started with an A, he’s from South America and has been in Spain for 2 years), but he was phenomenal. His service was flawless and his personality added so much to the evening. He was perfectly fluent in English, but also took the time to help us practice our Spanish, which we really appreciated. He also gave us thoughtful recommendations on how to best enjoy each dish, from which cutlery to use to little tips on how to get the most out of the flavors. It made the experience feel even more personal and memorable. On top of all that, the price was very reasonable for the quality of food, wine, and service, especially when compared to North American standards, where you’d easily pay much more for something of this caliber. I’d recommend Succulent to anyone visiting Barcelona.

We were a group of 6 and celebrated our mother's retirement and wanted to chose something special. We opted for "Suculent" tasting menu and all of us were savouring each bite. Each and one of us were delighted by each dish. My favourites were cuttlefish with almond mild, beetroot with smoked eel, scallop and cava sauce. Jordy was our server and was personable, attentive and made us feel comfortable throughout the meal. The wine recommendations were spot on! We really enjoyed the rustic and relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant. It was a great experience and everyone was happy with absolutely everything. 10/10

We had an amazing dinner at Suculent, we did the traditional tasting menu with wine pairing. 10/10 would recommend and go again. The bone marrow tar tar was exceptional. All the dishes were delicious. The Stingray was our least favorite.

Came for a dinner with my partner and it was some of the best food I have had in Barcelona. We opted for "The Classics" tasting menu and were impressed by each and every dish -- especially the duck croquette, red prawn, and steak tartare. The brie and vanilla cheesecake completely blown us away and was probably the best cheesecake we've ever had. Our server Jordy was attentive and made us feel comfortable throughout the meal, and we really enjoyed the rustic and casual ambiance of the restaurant. Great experience overall and would 100% come back for the full tasting menu for our next trip!

Great restaurant, good option for enjoying some amazing Spanish tapas, dishes for sharing, combination of freshness and good quality products. The restaurant is really nicely decorated, inviting you to dive into their wonderful food.

Ordered takeout via Uber Eats, intending to take back to a nearby brewery, but decided to eat here once inside. The sandwich was to die for and the atmosphere was super fun. Highly recommended!

We went there for an hangover lunch and that was the best choice ever. Oreste and Santiago made us feel at home. The food was another level, the coppa amazing, the vitello tonnato was soooo good, and the focaccias as well were incredible. We will be back for sure and we suggest anyone who wants to try the real italian salumis. Love it!

Absolutely delicious paninis. Carefully prepared. These are not pressed, like in the US; the bread is toasted perfectly and then the sandwich is made. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is very casual. I was halfway through the Bella Ciao before remembering to take the photo 😀. We loved the Emilia Paranoica, too.

Great, Italian sandwich place, it’s small. They have a few table. The sandwiches are unbelievably good,definitely recommends to grab a sandwich to eat there or on the go ,hidden gem, friendly staff. I definitely will go back there.

The sandwich was so delicious that we wanted to come back the next day! Unfortunately, they were closed, so don’t rely too much on the Google opening hours. Definitely worth a visit? we’ll be back for sure!

I came here for lunch and the toasted sandwiches are so tasty. The ingredients are fresh and the salami that went in my sandwich was cut right in front of me. The bread had a lovely crunch on the outside due to being toasted but remained soft inside. I would highly recommend this place for lunch in their shop or on the go.

The place looks amazing, it gives massive Italian vibes. Staff is very friendly, they seemed to know every single person that was entering the bodega. Panini is fresh, well balanced in term of flavours and has carefully selected ingredients. We had the mortadella and pistachio one and a special panini recommend by the staff. Tiramisu is a hit, not that sweet, creamy, perfect. Definitely worth it!

Loved everything about this place! So glad I had the opportunity to try their delicious food! Everything was perfect, the place, the food and the service. The menu is in Spanish but the waitress explained us all and made it easy to choose.

We were lucky enough ran into a pharmacy store whose owner speaks fluent English. He strongly recommended us this place if we want something really local. We did, and it was definitely one of best dinning experience we had in Barcelona. Simple menu, not fancy however very cozy settings. Pork shoulder baked with potatoes is a must try IMHO.

The waitress was friendly and gave us suggestions, (we don’t speak spanish) explaining the tapas even thought it was very busy. We ate all the food she suggested and it was delicious. Great food and service. Will definitely come here again.

Wow! Easily some of the best artichokes and pork while in Barcelona. Great casual place to enjoy some delicious tapas.

Really nice cosy place with a good choice of wine, drinks and tapas. Tuna belly salad is to die for and vermut is great.

A stark gap between reviews and reality. The menu is extremely basic and the wine list is extremely limited and uninteresting. For foodies and wine enthusiast please avoid. Even though the staff are friendly and it’s a chill spot to get beers and cocktails.

A really great, spacious bar in Sant Antoni with. We were a group of 14 or more who came for a birthday without a reservation, and the owners were very kind and helped us find a table that could fit all of our group. Drinks are reasonably priced and made with love. Overall a great bar with friendly people working there - highly recommended

Food was excellent overall—the tartar was super well executed, as were the winter tomatoes and burrata, and the carbonara (despite arriving slightly cold, with the sauce starting to congeal). Desserts were nothing remarkable, but to be fair, we were pretty full by then. The interior is nice, the food is authentic, and the service was good and friendly, though occasionally a bit absent. Still, a solid spot with great flavors. Will be back to try more dishes.

Went here last night with some friends and the food was amazing! Def a place I’m 💯 going back to. The quality of every dish we got was 🤌🏽 and the aperol spritz was great! highly recommend.

My family came here for my birthday and I am so glad they did! We sat in the main salon and it was quiet enough for conversations but lively. Jazz musicians and singers’ posters lined the largest wall and the decor was modern with antique touches. There is a balcony with tables but it wasn’t seating at that time. The star of the evening was the food! A generous and well curated charcuterie board was amazing— and we had arancini for our antipasti. Delicious. We shared three pastas: shrimp with zucchini, pumpkin with sage, mushroom gnocchi. We had birthday cake at home so no dessert but a good selection. The co-star of the evening was the server. She was terrific and her suggestions perfect. I strongly recommend this restaurant if you want great Italian cuisine with perfect pasta and yummy charcuterie. We are already planning our next visit.

The whole experience was truly more than I expected. Went for the sunday brunch, everything was really delicious and high quality. Service was on point and attentive.

Had a fantastic dinner on our last night in Barcelona - sat outside and could still enjoy the live music. The homemade pastas were delicious 🤤 Raul has curated a fabulous cocktail menu as well!

Nice location and good food. Recommended by my Italian colleagues, so I went there with a large group. Good starters and main dishes. Haven’t tried the tiramisu.

I love pumpkin ravioli with sage butter and order it whenever I see it on a menu. This was the by far the best version I’ve ever tasted. And the tomato salad too. And the negroni! I splurged and had the peach tart for dessert. Also 10/10. I ordered pappardelle and the tomato salad to go for my husband. He was ecstatic. Thank you to my waiter who was so patient with me as I attempted to speak Spanish. I look forward to the next visit. Great value and service.

Incredible experience. Every course was delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Definitely recommend it if you want to have a real immersive dining experience to remember. Also loved that the ingredients were all locally sourced and the chef explained every dish in detail.

Great Japanese tasting menu. They were very innovative without losing taste of sight if you know what I mean. 5 stars because even if a couple dishes were not that great (the noodles or the shrimp heads were not remarkable), there were others that were mind blowing, and very unique. Recommend ordering the big Omakase menu (we ordered small) as it's not super filing (I usually order the small tasting menu these days).

Delicious omakase, with 17 courses. It goes faster and lighter than you think, so if you’re a big eater, go for the larger option. The “smaller” omakase does not come with wine pairing either, as a note. Very nice wine and sake list and options. Not sure if I’d come back, but it was a nice experience.

The Japanese-Mediterranean fusion is executed with such precision that each bite feels like a small revelation. The tuna belly sushi with caviar was pure decadence—silky, rich, perfectly balanced with just the right pop of salt. The brioche bread topped with tuna tartare was an instant favorite: playful, indulgent, and so well composed. And the hamachi sashimi was fresh, delicate, and beautifully cut—showcasing the kind of respect for ingredients you only find in the best sushi bars. Service was warm and knowledgeable, the atmosphere intimate yet unpretentious. It’s the kind of place you want to linger, savor, and then immediately plan your next visit.

I had the privilege of dining at Alapar with my sister during my visit to Barcelona. I had a wonderful experience. We did the omakase Alapar, which had about 19 courses. I found it to be a fun experience, and I was pleased by the subtle and thoughtful ways in which they created a fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean cuisine. Our chef worked at a feverish pace, but kindly accommodated us by explaining the dishes to us in English. Because of the noise level, it was a little hard to hear everything he described about each course, but to be fair, he had to speak English to us, then switch over to Spanish for the other couple sitting with us. I was pleasantly surprised to find that a lot of the traditionally East Asian ingredients are also grown in Spain, as I understood it, about 2 hours from the Barcelona area. At one point, the chef showed us a huge wasabi plant up close, which I saw him grinding into a paste when we first sat down. The first 2 courses had tuna and squid on top of a type of bread. It had good mouthfeel and felt like it melted in my mouth. This actually worked really well. Other dishes incorporated Mediterranean flavors by including citrus juice and/or spices like paprika, which also worked well for me. Towards the end of the main courses (by that I mean before dessert), there was a nice transition from cold dishes to warm dishes. The warm dishes included an udon noodle dish that was fun to mix the egg yolk into. I also appreciated that they had non-alcoholic wine, which was nice to pair with the omakase. They even chilled it for me between refills, which was a thoughtful touch. I don't recall or know the details of how they incorporated Mediterranean flavors into the oils and sauces used in the dishes, but it was a great fusion of two types of cuisine. In my experience dining at other restaurants that do fusion, it's actually quite hard to do well. Some places don't blend the cuisines smoothly or creatively to create a new flavor experience. Alapar succeeded greatly in this aspect. Besides the high quality of flavors and fresh fish ingredients, the price point is amazing for what you get. This would cost 2-3x more in the US, where I'm from. Another thing is that the hospitality was great. We had a situation where my dining partner had indigestion resulting from a chronic medical condition, and Alapar kindly accommodated this by fulfilling our request to take home some of the omakase courses. It would totally have been their right to refuse this for quality consistency/reputation purposes, but they respected our wishes. I have to say, the creativity extended to the desserts as well. Wasabi flavor works surprisingly well in ice cream and the ice cream sando with thinly shaved figs on top was reminiscent of ice cream-filled taiyaki, which I am familiar since there is a Korean version of that dessert. I would totally go back to Alapar the next time I am in Barcelona. Shout out to our chef who graciously answered all of our questions about the food and accommodated our indigestion situation, which probably caused some disruption in his work process that was intensely fast because he was preparing for not only our omakase but also other tables. I follow Alapar on Instagram now and look forward to the new ideas for fusion that they come up with.

Omakase mizu 15 courses 85 Euro The drinks were amazingly delicious as well !

It’s a hidden gem! The chef was once worked in 2024 Michelins World Best 50 Fine Dining rank # 1 Disfrutar so that’s why some of the dishes we see the shadows of Disfrutar, and there’s a dish we can taste nearly the same of one of the dish from Disfrutar as well! We tried the 95 euro 20 courses and it’s worth the price! Some dishes are just like piece of art. However I think one of the reasons they still didn’t reach a star of Michelin is the services. The server didn’t serve with a heart and they couldn’t handle situation well. They expect you to pass the plate yourself, and screwed up some food when they put on the table, and there’s a plate they served have a few broken edges. And when they explained the dish they just talked and walked at the same time looks like they are in a rush. Besides that, the food itself are wonderful!

Amazing pasta, we saw they preparing the thoug. Lovely service and comfy place, small and cozy like q grandma's kitchen. Make a reservation so you will be sure to have their amazing food

Lovely cosy little restaurant. Staff very friendly. The pasta is made and cooked in front of you and is absolutely delicious. We had the spaghetti vodka mixed in a Parmesan wheel. Also one of the best cannolis I’ve ever had!

Luckily I live really close to Il Birrino and I have been able to try a few dishes. The panino con la porchetta is just supreme! If you like pork and focaccia, this sandwich is a dream. The owner is also really nice and explains what each dish has before you make a decision. A must if you are in Barcelona.

Really cozy and unassuming little restaurant serving fresh pasta & craft beer. Had lunch here after reading about it in a guide & have no complaints. The food is brilliant and the service was lovely. Didn't try any beer because we had a delicious bottle of red instead. But it's clear from the decor the folks running the place know their beer. Would love to stop by again sometime.

Authentic italian restaurant. When we got there, they had just open and I could see the chef making the pasta, which is something you don't see that often in Barcelona, especially not for the price we paid here (aprox 12 eur / plate). The mozarella was exquisite as well. The place is small and simply decorated, good for casual meals with friends.

We absolutely loved this place. It’s a small, unassuming place with amazing food (fresh homemade pasta made in front of you), and great service. The ambiance is cozy and full of character. We will definitely be back.

10/10!!!! We were not sure if we wanted to have Italian food in Spain, but definitely worth it! Delicious food; I recommend squid spaghetti with all my heart. Also very good beers. Reservation required.

Authentic Italian dishes, but very average. Unfortunately one of the dishes was very cold, and inedible. The staff was very apologetic and offered to not charge for a coffee.

Wonderful food and fantastic service. Carbonara is highly recommended. Dogs are welcome :)

Lovely service!! We absolutely loved the food

Great cousy italian trattoria - the real deal Very welcoming Great staf And the food is just what you are looking for

Had a fantastic evening here on the terrace with our friends and two dogs. Food was fresh and a cut above most Italian places in Italy! Try the burrata with fresh cherry tomatoes and a glass of their very drinkable white wine. Summer in one plate and a glass!

Amazing food and service, beautiful authentic atmosphere, world class pasta, highly recommended! Best Italian spot in Barcelona

Awesome italian food in a cozy place!

Perfect, delicious food with great service. All staff was very nice and professional. We truly recommend this restaurant for eveyone who loves great food in unique place.

Service was impeccable - Jouo and Ada were so good and coordinated. I cannot remember her name, but the Sommelier was exquisite. The food was an edible art experience. The way that the plates pulled through the sea theme was amazing. Such attention to detail. The final thematic moment was the wave plate that held the petit fours. Excellent experience and the gift of olive oil in our room was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience on our visit to Barcelona.

An excellent diner with a wonderful tasting menu. Perhaps a little bit too much, 10 courses including 3 for dessert! Very professional service and an excellent sommelier. We took the pairing wine and each one was a good choice for any plate. Very nice and quiet dining room. We will certainly come back!

Having worked at Hotel Arts, 10 years ago in Conferencing, it was a lovely experience to be back as a guest of the restaurant of the hotel and show my husband the facilities I spent a year working in. The service at Enoteca was professional, yet warm and friendly and and everything was served to us very elegantly by Ada, Lavinia and Cristina, who looked after us throughout our meal. All were very knowledgeable about what they were serving and effortlessly anticipated our needs without ever needing to be asked. I believe one of the girls even accompanied my husband outside on his smoke break purely to keep him company and ensure he had everything he needed, which we thought was very sweet. It must also be noted that the service felt very relaxed, with little in the way of the pushy upsells that are so typical of many similar establishments. Supplementary extras were mentioned once and not pushed again, the water wasn't needlessly topped up and replaced for a new bottle, the wine wasn't overpoured in the hopes another bottle was purchased. It's refreshing to visit a starred Michelin restaurant that does not give the impression of being greedy. We have dined at a multitude of Michelin 1-3 star establishments in both the UK and abroad, and this was certainly up there in one of the top 5. Bravo to some very talented chefs! Every course was beautiful - our particular favourites were the cockle tartette, the red prawn with red Thai curry sauce and the langoustine rice - phenomenal. Thank you to all involved in making our experience a memorable one. Faye Stevenson

It’s mediocre. Let’s start with the place. It’s very elegant design. Nothing super special, buts it’s quite nice. We had 2 servers(kind of - they served like 3, 4 tables at the same time). One guy “Omar”, he was a bit hard to understand and a woman, sorry I forgot her name, but she was amazing. She was very clear when speaking, in contrast to the male waiter. Service was pretty slow. It took 2 hours for lunch, for 6 courses which were 1-2 bites, except the main course which was rice. So we had to wait like 10+ mins between dishes which were a bite away. Food had its good and bad dishes. The squid dish was below average and left a bad aftertaste. Also one of the chocolates for the final meal was also very weird with a fish taste. The best things were one of the butters for the bread(its a bit laughable that that is the best thing) and the main course, but more specifically the mushroom on it. The rest of the dish was just okay. Not mind blowing. Just okay. Some other notes, cherry desert was nice, and also the first starter. After that we had something like a gazpacho, which it was definitely one of the top dishes, but it was so little that u had to scrape it from the plate from the start. This was 120 euro per person. Definitely not worth the price. Also they served coffee and water and they included that in the bill - +10 euro, which is pathetic in my opinion. Its was okay lunch, but definitely don’t recommend and will not return.

Ok, I want to start with the fact that the service and management were very accommodating and amazing. But I will say the food was absolutely disgusting. We went through six courses and each one just got worse. I have experienced many high end restaurants and this was a pure disappointment as far as the food. Again, our server, the Somalia was very knowledgeable and amazing, yet we couldn’t finish the experience because the food was so bad. I appreciate a good review, so hope this helps someone thinking about going here.

Amazing staff, super knowledgeable people with great ideas for a culinary experience! Highly recommended

I’ve been here twice and I can’t say anything bad about this place. Food is a great mixture of fresh Italian signature ingredients and Mediterranean flavors. With their wide range of vermouths and Aperol Spritz, you will surely find your go-to drink here. Service is impeccable and staff is warmly kind. Great spot to come if you want to have great food with a lively atmosphere

Huge fan of this place!!! I have visited this place about 4 or 5 times and I finally took the time to take proper pics! Every time I’ve been there I have the best time, and it shows because I never once looked at my phone (main reason why I haven’t taken pictures before) The service is absolutely amazing, they will treat you like family! Food is absolutely gorgeous, everything is so tasty and the ingredients are of such good quality!!! Definitely in my top recommendations of Barcelona! It’s a must!!!

This place was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The food was simply outstanding—every dish was crafted with care and bursting with flavor. Make sure to order their eggs; they are perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious! The wine selection was excellent, with a variety of options to suit different tastes, and each glass complemented the meal beautifully. The staff truly made the experience even more special; they were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, always ready with great recommendations. Overall, this spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!

Nice cozy spot with a mix of cold dishes, with great quality italian products, clearly overpriced for what it is but (70€ for a few dishes and a couple of drinks) but quite enjoyable nontheless

I live in Barcelona and I am from Italy, this is to say that I am not a tourist. A piece of focaccia like this should be given for free, or can be bought for less than €0.50 anywhere, here it was €5.00 and when I mentioned this to the waitress, she said it is right because the pepper is baked. If it has to be a quality product I’ll go somewhere else. Unluckily I have not taken a picture of the other “dish”. Overpriced and rude waitress.

Excellent spot for a quick drink or light bite. Food is fantastic- huevo rellenos, tartar, puerros escalivados… all delicious. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly.

Very different but excellent experience Little plates to share Everything very interesting and delicious Totally recommend

Food was delicious several starters. My friend loved the roasted octopus. But for an Italian restaurant in a Tuesday night with only only 15% occupancy I have never felt so rushed to order and leave and it took multiple times to get the order food correct. Completely overshadowed the food. Sorry to say. It was really weird and awkward.

I tried lasagna and margarita pizza. The pizza was close to Roman style and delicious. But Lasagna's bolognese sauce was a little sour. The person who served us was very polite, thank you.

Great experience. The staff was so kind and careful. It's a high class experience, real ilalian flavors and fresh food. Some dishes finished in front of you by the chef and other in a show when they serving the dish. Indeed, the protein portions are small per plate.

Ordered the spaghetti carbonara and left more hungry then when I got there. Portions were tiny for the price and the pasta was chewy and undercooked. The focaccia was good but everything else was poor quality and quantity. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place.

Discovered this restaurant thanks to the reviews and wasn't disappointed. Food was tasty (the artichokes are to die for!), and the waiter, Marc, was just very attentive and simply fantastic!

Great food! Tried the pasta and the margarita pizza and it was delicious. Our server was also kind and very attentive, I definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area :)

Absolutely wonderful! I’m vegan and my husband and I arrived at the NH Stadium Hotel on Sunday evening after most nearby vegan restaurants had closed. Felix and the chef were incredibly helpful and accommodating, with the chef even coming out to go through the menu with me personally to see what we could adapt to fit my needs. The artichokes and vegetable soup were outstanding and they kindly made me a delicious veggie pizza without cheese. My husband loved his calzone as well. They even offered to procure pasta without eggs for me for next time I came! Thank you especially to Felix for everything; you were kind, welcoming, and accommodating. We will definitely be back before we leave Barcelona!

The restaurant is within a hotel with sleek, modern design. Technically flawless and creative cooking paired well with exclusively Spanish wines. A few surprises along the way which I would not wish to spoil within this review. I can highly recommend ABaC for a 3 star experience. Friendly and attentive staff, and good use of the space. Accommodating of food preferences.

I celebrated my birthday during my 2-week trip there and we reserved this restaurant for an amazing night. From start to finish, it was a culinary adventure and creative discovery with some highlights that totally wowed and amazed us - the candle butter, the tomato plant, the lipstick dessert, where it went from culinary enjoyment and excellent service to innovative concepts with great harmony. Jay and his team such as Rachel were awesome, not only were they knowledgeable and attentive, but Jay was also very funny and we had a lot of laughs throughout the courses. Thank you for this unforgettable experience and moment!

Amazing culinary experience and the nicest, most accommodating staff. Not all Michelin star spots will accommodate dietary restrictions and these guys went above and beyond. Would love to stay at their hotel and eat all the food they offer one day.

Amazing culinary journey tonight. Fantastic dish presentation with wonderful taste. Chef Cruz’s knowledge of ingredients is world class. I can’t find words to describe, will definitely pay a visit again. Last but not least, the service is very nice, have to say thanks to Jay and Irene’s excellent service tonight.

the service was really nice, but honestly it’s not worth paying €300 for what you get. Nothing was bad, but at no point did anything stand out or feel like a real explosion of flavor. It’s like they tell you “this has some special black olive from wherever”, you try it and think “yeah, I can taste the black olive… and? XD” It’s just not impressive. I genuinely think there are plenty of other places that are way better and cost less than half of that. It’s crazy to charge this kind of price for food that simply isn’t good. I don’t care if you call it new cuisine or fine dining or whatever, the basic rule is universal: the dish has to taste good. If it doesn’t, I don’t care whether you used Sichuan pepper or vanilla from Madagascar.

If you want to watch our full video review, find us on YouTube travelwithpassionandstyle We visited ABAC for dinner, expecting an outstanding 3 Michelin star experience. Some moments were memorable: the opening Bloody Mary prepared tableside, the katsuobushi with red mullet, and the playful balloon dessert. Service was attentive in parts, and the wine list was huge! However, several details didn’t meet the level we expected. The timing between courses was rushed, leaving little room to enjoy each dish. One main course – the partridge – was poorly handled, even arriving with visible fingerprints on the plate. Bread service arrived unusually late, and overall the staff felt uncoordinated for a restaurant of this caliber. The evening cost around €870 for two with wine pairing. While the setting is elegant and a few dishes stood out, the experience did not feel consistently at the standard of other 3-star restaurants we’ve visited. We’ve shared all the details in the full video on our channel travelwithpassionandstyle on YouTube.

Excellent foods with excellent atmosphere. A three stars Michelin restaurant, a full course given us 4.5 hours of total enjoyment.

OK so I’ll start this by saying I’m not a Michelin star or food connoisseur type of person- my husband and I were gifted this experience but wow it was fun! The food was VERY different from what we’re used to though, I didn’t love it honestly it’s a little too out there for me. Our server (Sergio-request him!!) made us feel so comfortable and led us through the evening. He was the best part of the night!

Dos Palillos 🥢 Extraordinary It has been a long time since I’ve found a place so delightful for the senses. The lady who served us, the owner, guided us on an emotional journey through the dishes of ancient Japan. The way she weaves stories into the description of each plate was truly exceptional. The sparkling wines offered were a sensory delight for the palate. A place you absolutely must visit to enjoy a unique gastronomic experience.

A Michelin star awarded restaurant that offers a surprise packed tasting menu. Asian flavours meet global techniques, from cured fish to fresh wagyu - everything works together super well. My absolute favourite was the slow roasted lamb neck in a curry sauce, accompanied with pickled mango and lamb milk ice cream. The dinner is worth every penny.

The restaurant feels cozy and alive, with a vibe that makes you want to linger. The fusion of Spanish and Asian flavors is playful and precise. The prawn with kimchi bursts with flavor and the pork belly with miso is meltingly tender. Every bite surprises in the best way. The staff are warm and passionate, making you feel guided through the tasting menu like a friend showing you their favorite dishes. Drinks pair perfectly and add another layer to the experience. The only tiny drawback is that the space is small, so it can feel a bit busy at peak times, but it doesn’t take away from the magic of the food. Dos Palillos is creative, fun, and unforgettable. A must for anyone who loves bold flavors and thoughtful cuisine.

We’ve been to Michelin star restaurants and we haven’t received neither the food nor the experience and service we had here! Thank you, guys! We are still here having our lunch and I am beyond happy!

Title: Great Experience with Flavorful Dishes Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5 out of 5 stars) Review: I recently visited Dis Palillos for a last-minute dinner and unfortunately, I wasn't able to try their set menu due to the lack of reservation. However, I opted for their à la carte menu and had an enjoyable dining experience overall. One highlight of my meal was the fried stuffed calamari. The dish was exceptional, with a well-balanced mix of flavors that truly delighted my taste buds. The chef's skill in achieving such harmony was evident, and I highly recommend trying this appetizer. I also ordered the saki-infused nigiri, which was beautifully presented. While the visual appeal was impressive, I found the taste to be slightly underwhelming compared to the exquisite presentation. Nevertheless, it was still a decent choice. The cold noodles I ordered were a burst of delightful flavors. The selection of flavors was top-notch, and each bite was a delightful surprise. This dish truly showcased the chef's ability to create a harmonious blend of tastes. Moving on to the Japanese burger, the standout elements were the bun and the pickles. Both were exceptional and added unique touches to the overall burger experience. However, I feel that the burger patty itself could have been improved to match the excellence of the other components. On the other hand, the chicken katsu sandwich was a perfect delight. The chicken was expertly cooked, delivering a tender and flavorful experience. The toast was flawlessly executed, adding a satisfying crunch to complement the succulent meat. This dish was undoubtedly a highlight of my meal. Overall, my dining experience was great. The flavors in most of the dishes were well-balanced and enjoyable. Although I missed out on the set menu, I plan to return in the future to savor the complete culinary experience. The attentive service and inviting ambiance further enhanced my visit. I recommend this restaurant to those seeking a flavorful dining experience, and I look forward to exploring more of their offerings soon.

We were a group of six who visited Dos Palillos as part of a celebratory birthday break in Barcelona. We had the private room, which worked very well for us as we wanted to chat, but if you want to see the kitchen, this option isn't for you. We had the larger of the two tasting menus and matching wine. Firstly for us, it was absolutely worth the price difference to have the larger menu with the wagu and caviar. Secondly this is a challenging menu, if you can't deal with pigs ear, snouts, chicken feet (boned) and asian textures and flavours, then you aren't going to get very far into any of the menus here. We booked this as a contrast to the other food we were going to have in Barcelona and we loved it. Not everyone adored every course, but given the spectrum of ages, palates and preferences in the group this was no surprise. It was great fun, innovative and you are given things you've almost certainly have not had before. The front our house staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and overall we had a wonderful experience.

There is a reason why local restaurants like this can survive over a century. It’s simple, elegant, full of history, and yet humble about it. We ordered 3 dishes. Fried fish as appetizer, oxtail tail as the meat dish, and of course paella to finish off the meal. The fried fish was lightly salted and perfectly cooked. Not too dry but just enough so the bone came right off. The oxtail had been slow cooked for sometime. The meat did not come right off the bone, but that’s the good part. If it came right off, personally I would find it over cooked. This one was fine and tasty. I would recommend ordering a side of bread to finish the sauce. Don’t let it go to waste. The paella was gigantic. Tho it’s supposed to be for 2 people, but it felt like could feed 4 of us. It’s crispy on the bottom and soft on top. Personally I found the rice slightly undercooked (really just slightly). But then again this was the first time I ate paella in Spain. So it could very well be the authentic way. I wouldn’t change a thing. Staff were very friendly. Everyone was. I had a wonderful experience. Cheers to another 100 years.

Fantastic service from Amauris and Delicious Food!!! From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. Our server was outstanding, knowledgeable about the menu, and always ready with a smile. He made great recommendations that turned out to be spot-on. The food was simply excellent — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish was cooked to perfection!! We left feeling completely satisfied, and we’ll definitely be coming back on our next trip to Barcelona. Highly recommend this place for anyone who values great service and a memorable meal! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾

I visited in March 2023 and I still talk about this restaurant often. The seafood paella is the best I’ve ever had. The crème brûlée had the perfect crust and level of sweetness. I hope to go back to Barcelona and go back here.

We went for a dinner and order the traditional Paella. It was delicious and all ingredients fresh.! We accompanied it with white wine which was ok! The portions could be bigger compared to the prices but overall it was very nice.! (Photo:plate wasn't deep)

Cam Sole, which is featured in Shadow of the Wind, surpassed my already high expectations. The food was superb and the service extraordinary. The location near the waterfront led to a wonderful walking experience.

Paella ofcourse! What I got the paella ofcourse! The typical one to that.. as a tourist.. ha. This was the second paella I had in Barcelona, and I really liked it. Everything was seasoned very well and tasted very good. No complains. I also got the razor claims - this to me was very new and different (personally I didn't like it). The crema Catalana was very good! I had around 3 of these and this one to me was the best.. (I am not local to barcelona.. I am still surveying). Environment Located in an off street on the main popular street. I didn't have a reservation and luckily was able to get a seat just an hour before the closing. They sat me at the front door, so I was not able to see the space. But I think there is quite a number of seating available, and even upstairs. Niceness of the staff Since I was very near to the door and the bar area.. which means I was always in the eyesight of the waiters and host. Also maybe I was a tourist, I was always on their minds? They were friendly and I was able to get my orders in with no problem Dollar It was decent I suppose, it was 24.40 per person for the paella and then the clams were 17.50. The bread costs! Yes I would recommend to other tourist alike haha..

Unfortunately Shrimps and clams are not fresh. Many shells are empty. Some clams taste funny. Definitely overpriced. U dun want to pay 25/person for this.

The flavors are solid, though not quite exceptional. What really stands out is the popularity; It’s always packed, so reservations are essential. The space is very small, which adds to the cozy vibe but might feel cramped during peak hours. Worth a try if you plan ahead!

Took a while to get a seat, but it was worth the wait. The menu was simple and the restaurant was very cozy similar to the ramen shops in Japan. Despite being very busy, service was pretty good and I even got to have a pleasant chat with the chef (who I also assume is the owner). Please give this ramen shop a chance whenever you are in the area!

Ive tried 5 ramen bars in BCN and so far this is the closest to original taste. I ordered Miso since I like creamy ramen, it’s not really salty so I was able to finish the whole bowl. Price was reasonable too. You can walk it but you have to be wait since the queue might be long, so better to make a reservation.

Was initially full of anticipation to try this ramen seeing the hype, but ended up being sorely disappointed. Although we did not have a reservation (advised for those who disliked queueing), we decided to go ahead and queue for a good 75 minutes (7:45pm - 9pm). Initially, they did not open the second store (mainly used for take out), but upon seeing the slow turnover rate, they eventually opened it and we were ‘fortunate’ to be the ones to be seated there. Upon taking our orders, we still had to wait another 15 minutes for 3 items to arrive— gyoza, miso ramen, soyu ramen. - gyoza was carelessly served, with the sauce spilling out of the condiment tray all over the gyozas, spoiling the integrity of the fried gyozas. Taste wise— it was decent but not top tier. - both ramen bowls were completely not up to par for a Japanese-owned ramen restaurant. Although most ramen cannot be compared to those in Japan itself, we were horrified to find out that the ramen broth was not genuinely boiled, but instead, it was made from instant concentrate, making it taste extremely artificial, with the broth clinging onto the tongue. Took a photo of the remaining sediments found at the bottom of the bowl, something not natural of elite ramen. Overall, experience was a huge let down, we were out of the restaurant within 15 minutes, after having queued for 5x as long. I didn’t even finish my bowl of noodles. Could have gone for instant cup noodles instead. Will never be back, will not recommend to anyone.

I went there at 13:00 noon. The restaurant was quite busy and the menu was very limited, but the ramen and dumplings tasted good. I highly recommend it.

I wouldn’t recommend this place. Ramen was cheap (I guess this is why there is a really long queue to be seated), but it was average. The place was very crowded, noisy and dirty.

Went just after midday for some hot ramen and they only serve cold ramen at this time. I was disappointed, but I gave the cold ramen a try and it was very good. Service was also very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend.

Anyone giving this place less than five stars has forgotten what it means to go to places like this. The service was immaculate. The food was an experience with every bite. Could’ve been a good day for the restaurant or a bad one and I still would’ve had my mind blown. To say otherwise is pompous. Only critique would be to confirm the cost of certain add-ons like water and coffee.

Excellent textbook 3 star experience. Phenomenal service and dishes perfectly balanced with beautiful delicate and fresh flavors. If you want a flawless experience, I can only recommend it.

Amazing! Condensed flavor but not too much. Wonderful food and services. Nice wine pairing. Deserves its fame!

A 5+ star experience lunch with amazing food, some great wine and incredible service from our server Samir and the Sommelier.  We had the 10 course Menu Degustacion … with appetizers and petit-fours it was more like 14 courses.  Along with some decaf coffee's it stretched out over sublime 3+ hours. Samir's professional yet approachable manner enhanced our experience significantly.  Our favorite dishes were the hamachi and oysters with cucumber, the prawns and barnacles with pineapple emulsion, and the marinated venison was the best I've ever had - which I told the chef when he visited our table at the end of our meal. Just brilliant.

Lasarte offers a beautifully polished dining experience, with flawless and attentive service that truly enhances the meal. I have to highlight the breads served, which was genuinely one of the best I've ever had—such a delightful surprise! It's a bit ironic that, despite the exquisite tasting menu showcasing premium ingredients and refined techniques, my standout moment was the humble bread. While I recognize the skill and artistry in the dishes, I found myself hoping for a more memorable and unique experience that would leave a lasting impression, especially given the restaurant's three Michelin stars. Overall, it was a lovely evening, but I left wishing for that extra spark that would make for a memorable and an unique 3 Michelin star meal.

This is a completely honest and valid review, not an exaggeration, I promise. TL;DR based solely on the food for those too impatient to read the whole story- the food is "good" but not great whatsoever. Three Michelin stars be darned, a large number of dishes completely missed in a big way. And for the outrageous price tag, it is AT BEST a 2.5 or 3 out of 5 stars. So why am I giving it 1 out of 5 stars? My wife became violently ill after the meal, likely from food poisoning. The restaurant refused to even respond to my attempts to contact them. Introduction: bad first impression, so the place doesn't open until after 8pm...but our reservation was for 8:00 so we arrived 10 minutes early, naturally, and waited almost 30 minutes to be seen and seated. Drinks: we are not much for alcohol. My wife ordered a mocktail which was essentially apple juice mixed with 2 or 3 other elements that were completely lost and indistinguishable behind the apple juice base. That didn't stop them for charging us €18 for it. I asked for a beer menu, but the waiter insisted he recommend me a beer based on my preferences. I said I like German and Belgian style wheat beers. He recommended a pilsner...and it becomes apparent he doesn't actually know anything about beer, so I politely declined and ask for a local Spanish Lager instead. It was just okay. I wish I actually got to see a full beer menu. Appetizer: we ordered the tasting menu. The first bites and appetizers are mostly pretty good! The mushrooms and clams appetizer was tasty. The fennel was interesting, not bad but nothing special. The shrimp tartare tasted like almost nothing, which is honestly fine with me given that it was raw shrimp. The steak tartare also tasted like nothing, which was a shame because I love steak tartare. Bread: I hated the bread service here. They have 6 different types of bread, 5 types of butter, and a house made olive oil. All that is great. The main problem is they portion the bread out for you 1 to 2 pieces at a time between courses. You never get a chance to try a type of bread more than once, and if you get a type that you don't like then you're just sort of pressured to eat it anyway. Why does the customer not have the liberty to get all the bread at the table and once to taste and portion themselves their favorites? I experienced far better bread services at 1 and 2 Michelin star restaurants in the past. First courses: the courses here really struggled to land for me. The sea cucumber and octopus were alright but nothing special (there is a theme here). The "pineapple 5 ways" dish was utter slop: it was a contrast of texture and temperature preparations of pineapple that confused and annoyed the palate as opposed to tantalizing it. The scallops were fine but the mucousy base textures in the sauce surrounding it were offputting, to say the least. The ravioli was the best of the middle courses, it was al dente and delicious, and the foam around it gave it a nice textural contrast. Main course: the biggest miss of the night had to be the pork trotters. When your menu only has 2 main "meat" dishes and one of them is a piece of pork that is 90% fat and collagen, then it feels like a cheap experience. I like fatty meat as much as the next guy, but this "meat" ate like a foreign delicacy that locals would enjoy, not a main dish at a 3 Michelin star restaurant. Horrifyingly bad dish. The venison, in contrast, was absolutely delicious. Best venison I've ever had. Dessert: my favorite dish of the night might have been the white chocolate and pistachio dessert. It was amazing and unique. The second dessert was called "baba spheres" and that was pure nonsense. The spheres were tasteless, not sweet, not herbaceous, not bitter. Nothing. The petit fours were also just okay. Verdict: I've had better experiences at 1 Michelin star, 2 Michelin star, and fine dining restaurant without any stars across both Europe and the world. This was my first 3 Michelin star experience and will probably be my last. To pay a grand total of $875 USD for two people for

This restaurant completely ruined my trip in Barcelona. After dining here, for three consecutive days, I suffered severe diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. It likely came from either the undercooked barnacle or the rare Corzo meat. Instead of showing any concern, the staff denied responsibility and refused even basic reimbursement. For a 3-star Michelin restaurant, the arrogance and indifference were shocking. The place may look nice, but the people behind it showed no care for their guests.

I have mixed feelings about our night at Cinc Sentits. There were some really special moments, and some things that for the price point weren’t so great. I will say that when we made the initial reservation the price online for the full tasting menu was around €169 pp. On the date of our visit the full tasting was €220, quite a jump without notice. Nowhere on the website does it say the price changes seasonally with the menu. They also offer a “light menu” option for €20 less. We asked the difference and it was three courses less than the full tasting and the full tasting would last around 3 hours. Pros: the food was absolutely spectacular. I’ve truly never tried dishes that were so innovative and full of flavor the way they craft their plates here. The wine pairing also was a nice accompaniment to the food, and being able to try wines from Catalonia without having to pour over and choose ourselves from the extensive wine menu was great. The service was also very attentive for certain aspects of the meal. Our water was always full, and the presentation of the dishes was really informative and thorough. Cons: The time. Even though we ordered the light menu, and got 3 less dishes than those with the full tasting we were still at our table for 3 hours, coursed out with every other table. The wine pairing, while nice to have, was at the end of the day only 2 and a half glasses of wine for over €100. I wish we had gotten one more type of wine. The appetizers didn’t include a pairing and the 3 desserts only came with one. Also the ambiance of the restaurant was very odd. There was no background music playing at all, so if you ever weren’t talking it was silent. It felt like you weren’t allowed to chat. Also the aesthetic of the restaurant felt cold. Maybe if there was music playing it might have warmed it up. But when you’re sitting for 15 minutes or more in between courses with silence because no one around you is speaking, it’s a strange feeling and makes the price you’re paying even more apparent. At the end of the day, the food is incredible but I’m not sure that outweighs the negatives of the experience or the hefty price tag.

We had high expectations for Cinc Sentits after seeing its Michelin 2-star rating, but sadly, the dining experience tonight was far from what I would expect from such an establishment. Food Quality: The dishes lacked standout flavors and creativity. The duck was so tough it was almost impossible to chew, let alone swallow. The sardines were extremely fishy — one of us couldn’t finish the dish — and because it was served early in the menu, it set a very poor tone for the rest of the meal. Nothing in the progression of courses redeemed the experience. Service: The service team, while friendly and well-meaning, did not operate at a polished, professional Michelin level. Most of our servers spoke very limited English, so I understood only about 10% of their explanations, which greatly diminished the storytelling element that is usually a highlight in fine dining. The way plates were presented and cleared also felt unrefined for a restaurant of this caliber. Ambiance & Décor: The interior is minimal to the point of feeling cold and uninviting. There was no warmth, charm, or special atmosphere to elevate the dining experience, and nothing about the setting stood out as memorable. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and questioning how Cinc Sentits earned its 2 Michelin stars. I do not recommend this restaurant based on my experience, and I wish I had chosen another place for what was supposed to be a special evening.

We were a group in the show room which was an interesting experience. The 220€ tasting menu of a two stars Michelin restaurant could be better balanced(maridaje de vino 125€ plus), we felt like slightly missing a main meat dish compared to the full set of desserts… All the food was creative, elaborate and sophisticated including seasonal ingredients. The environment was okay not outstanding…2025-10-25

My second occasion dinning at Cinc Sentits and the experience was once again superb. We choose the longer menu with the wine pairing and I strongly encourage you to do the same. Remember this experiences usually take time so be ready to expend 3+ hours enjoying your dining experience. Service was professional, knowledgeable and friendly which we love. We will definitely be joining again and can someone please add this restaurant to the Worlds 50 Best.

A Symphony of the Senses – Cinc Sentits, Barcelona From the moment you enter Cinc Sentits, you realize this is not just a dinner — it’s a story. Every course is a chapter, every detail a whisper of Jordi Artal’s extraordinary journey from Silicon Valley to Michelin-starred poetry on a plate. The space is intimate and elegant, with a minimalist warmth that allows the food to take the spotlight. What unfolds is not merely a tasting menu, but an emotional narrative — rooted in Catalan memory, refined by modern technique, and delivered with precision and soul. The flavors are bold yet balanced, nostalgic yet inventive. Dishes arrive like gentle surprises: a spoonful of sea, a bite of the forest, a scent that brings you home. Even the welcome drink — served dramatically on a stone slab — felt like a ceremonial entry into another world. Service is impeccable but never cold. The staff flows like choreography, with quiet reverence for the experience they’re guiding you through. This is a restaurant where nothing is accidental. Where even the silence tastes good. Bravo, Cinc Sentits. You’ve redefined what it means to truly feel a meal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went here one time with a bigger group and really enjoyed the experience. 2 years later came back with my fiancee for a celebration, expecting another incredible evening, but the truth is we went back home quite disappointed. Let’s start with the good things first. The food is from a high level and is very beautifully presented. The design of the restaurant is great and very modern with a touch of the Catalan feeling. We were welcomed in a super warm and friendly manner and the first bites in the separate area before entering the restaurant are incredible. So, why were we disappointed? The atmosphere in the restaurant is super cold and distant. It feels even a bit awkward to talk because it is so silent inside. The waiters inside the restaurant didn’t give us a friendly feeling at all and made us feel like we were not welcome and kind of a burden. They are often just standing there on the side and were not helpful in any way. Also the chef/owner didn’t appear at any point in the evening, which made it again less personal than it already was. This is especially strange because they want to make the menu look like an experience in which you follow the different episodes in the life of the owner. Finally, we asked for the bill and they were bringing it to our table with again a not-friendly attitude and just told us “service is not included”, then immediately waited with the payment terminal to see what tip you would give. This is for a two Michelin star restaurant really unacceptable and made us leave with a very bad feeling like we were just used to squeeze our money. The price is already very high for what you get and this comment is not really making that any better. Overall disappointed and we will not come back. Sad, because after my first visit I really had the opposite feeling.

I liked everything about it , from the place to the service and ritual and obviously to the amazing food provided and and amazing chef. I see here more a 3 stars Michelin restaurant than a 2. A must go place for all the epicurean people

It was likely one of the top 3 best culinary experiences in my life. The chef orchestrated the whole evening bringing dish after dish, resulting in a triumph of flavours with each bite. The meticulously crafted food brought back nostalgic memories I thought were lost. The service was impeccable and the music complemented this experience synaesthetically. I could taste the notes and hear the tastes like Ratatouille. 10/10 experience!

Agustín, the owner, and his team clearly understand the art of creating ​an unforgettable dining experience. The food is at the top of the list in Barcelona. Each dish had its distinct flavor, freshness of ingredients, etc. every bite was delightful. I had visitors the following week and could not have them miss this experience. So proud to have this restaurant be part of the fabric of this city! Give yourself a treat and visit them soon!

Can Vallès is everything you want a restaurant to be and more! Chef and owner Agustí and the entire team are truly incredible. The minute we walked in, we immediately felt at home and transported to a place we would love to call our very own neighborhood spot one day. Every single guest knew Agustí, and his warmth permeated throughout the entire restaurant. You could not dream up a more positive ambiance, and that is not by accident. Agustí cares so deeply about the restaurant, its history, his menu, and the overall experience, that it's impossible not to love everything about Can Vallès even before the food arrives. Then, there's the food, which is exceptional in every way. The complexity of each dish is incredible, and the results are unlike anything else you'll find in Barcelona. Every single dish is worth a conversation. Smoked deer carpaccio, poached egg in Txangurro sauce with caviar, pork foot cannelloni - all insane and perfect. We wish we were still eating the morels in foie cream - unreal! Then there's the goat tartare with mustard ice cream - refreshing, unique, and the perfect savory ending. And of course a perfect, custardy torrijas and flan to finish! We cannot wait to return and send anyone and everyone we know to visit Agustí and Can Vallès!

It should not be called dinner; it should be called experience🧿 Agustin the owner met us and told everything piece by piece; understood us, offered his choices, this was amazing, one of a kind. What a love for cooking, what a feast once you bite- hard to put into words. Please try this experience and give yourself a gift of dinner; one of the best in the world👌🏻 Thank you🙏🏻

Owner was very hospitable. Our favorites were cannallones and the pork cheek. Wine was great. Service was great. I would recommend to anyone coming to Barcelona

Excellent food!! One of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona. Still dreaming of the reindeer carpaccio, pork feet canelloni, langoustines with pistachio oil, to name a few

This place is just amazing. You would never think when you see it from the street that the food would be just fantastic (it is not a very fancy place). I was taken here by two fiends who work in Barcelona as notaries, and they said: “We bring here our best clients”. Initially I thought that they did not have good clients if they would take them to the Can Vallés…until the food arrived. Wow…such a treat! Everything was excellent. Definitely recommended (I hope to be able to still get a table the next time I am in Barcelona!).

Our dinner experience at Moments was amazing. The service in particular was very impressive and notable. The synchronized service from the timed pouring of water to bringing dishes and taking them away was very much noticed and set the tone for the entire evening. All the fine details from our waiters (particularly Emmanuelle) was impressive. Also, very much appreciate taking the time to bring our family to the kitchen. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

A truly memorable experience! The service at Moments was absolutely outstanding. We felt a genuine personal connection. The timing was perfect, the staff was warm and attentive, and everything felt soulful and sincere. The food was good, but the wow factor was missing a little bit. What truly elevated the evening was the service and the overall experience. There were two set menu options, both including meat. Since I only eat halal, they had no problem adapting the entire menu just for me. I really appreciated the flexibility and care. The menu shown in the second-to-last photo is the one I was served. Highly recommended!

Moments Fine dinning with flair and heart, this is what Moments was all about when we dined there when staying at the Mandarine Oriental Hotel in Barcelona. When we got there, were immediately greeted by our names and shown our seats. The overall decor is chic, sophisticated yet comfortable. The servers are like a team and work cohesively together. They are genuine and introduce themselves and menu is about. We chose to do the $130 tasting menu along with the Classic Wine paring . Every dish was prepared and presented with such artistry with the right amount of flavors. Since the menu is seasonal, the photos we are sharing is a better example of how dishes. We did add the cheese course with the tasting, which was a very generous amount of cheese, so not sure if you need to do it for all in your table as one tray honestly could be shared. If you want to have a wonderful time, learn about the preparation of dishes and get inspired, Moments is a must.

We visited Moments in Barcelona at the end of July and absolutely loved it. Every course was a wonderful surprise, and the harmony of flavours was just perfect. Each bite was simply delicious and left us smiling. The service team is professional and well-coordinated. At first a bit reserved, but warmer as the evening went on. Special thanks to our waiter Emanuele who took great care of us! At the end of the evening, we even received a creative little gift to take home – a mini handbag inspired by the Birkin Bag, filled with cake. Such a unique and memorable touch! Overall, a fantastic experience! If you’re still on the fence about going, just go - you won’t regret it!

Was there on 29 Oct for dinner. If there were 6 stars I would give to the service team 😍 Two young ladies who managed our table and explained to us the dishes were lovely, attentive, smiley, and really passionate about what they do and to perfection, there r a few gentleman as well, they were great too! we had a wonderful time at the restaurant, thanks to them 🥰 Food was great though I had dietary restrictions, no lamb, beef, oysters, fish..they managed w what they have. Overall great experience, highly recommend to try this out! Thank u service team, keep up the great work!

- This meal was the epitome of Michelin-star dining. Service was unimpeachable, flavors were remarkably fresh and beautifully composed; truly allowed the bright, local flavors to shine. - Emmanuelle was possibly the most earnest, all-in, wonderfully authentic waiter I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining with - The somme was able to articulate the specific reasons for pairing with specific flavors and it was like somebody letting you in on the joke. Loved it. - The manager was an absolute gentleman, down to the dapper double breasted suit. - Say no to the cheese cart and regret it forever; truly exceptional - From my perspective, this team is owed at least one more, if not two, Michelin stars.

Great dining experience. Each dish showcases rich, layered flavours, with nuanced sauces. Cocktails and wine pairings are equally sophisticated. Special mention for the generous cheese selection. Service is impeccable, warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic time the food was absolutely beautiful. I started with the meatballs and the focaccia (which was light and fluffy and hot) and then onto the Rigatoni. It was all delivered with perfect timing and tasted amazing. I would highly recommend
