When they cook, they can land clean, modern flavors with control. The problem is how often the menu leans on assembly—nice things put together, lightly “finished,” but not always truly cooked—so the meal can start to feel curated rather than crafted. Add a heavy fixation on caviar, and what should be an accent turns into a repetitive signature that crowds out the rest. Price-wise, it’s a serious night, and the room needs to earn that. Sitting at the bar, it didn’t. The chef spent a big part of the meal telling he’s the best in Barcelona, while trading jokes with his girlfriend about other chefs. That kind of self-mythologizing is exhausting—and honestly, it would be healthier (and more convincing) to realize there’s still a long distance between this and being the city’s best. A few oceans of distance. Clean: 7/10 Comfort: 7/10 Food: 8.5/10 Wine: 8/10 Service: 5/10 The Experience: 5/10 Price: 105€/pax

His plates are each so flavorful and well thought out. I grew up hating peas and the peas he served were amazing. He delivered them in a subtle and rich broth under a blanket of freshly shaved black winter truffles that are currently in the peak of their season here. Another favorite dish was the dry aged carpaccio of picanha with pesto. It was so flavorful and delicious. The most complex dish of the night was a base of a crisped disk of buttifarra sausage topped with a raw scallop and lemon zest that balanced these rich ingredients with a pop of freshness. There were so many flavors and textures in this bite. Eduard has built an extensive wine menu with many local and international wines, including a large selection of burgundy and champagnes. My friend and I ordered a Barbera d’Alba by Giuseppe Rinaldi was recommended to us. It opened up beautifully. We also had a glass of a delicious zero dosage champagne that Eduard suggested and a glass from a really special rosé made from corvina grapes in Verona. Only 601 bottles were produced. The meal ended with a panna cotta filled with shaved truffle followed by a 2014 dessert wine from South Africa that was stunning. Bisavis really delivers. Great flavors, friendly personal service and beautiful wines expertly recommended. It’s also great that they are willing to serve high quality wines by the glass. Something that’s far too rare in many restaurants. Bisavis is great and dangerously close to home Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
