The starters and desserts were to die for, but we struggled with the main course. The bone marrow was certainly a culinary achievement, but it didn’t offer a balanced level of flavour and textures that you expect from a restaurant reviewed by Michelin. The same could be said of the suckling pig. I’ll say again how excellent the starters and desserts were. If the main course were not part of the dinner, the review would be an easy five-star. Service also offered the same contrast. Some of the waiting staff looked like they were forced to be there, but then the other half genuinely loved talking about the food and wine offering.

A special thank you to Maria, who truly made our evening. We trusted her completely with our order, letting her choose both the starters and mains for us, and she absolutely nailed it. Every dish was thoughtful, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. It’s not easy to hand over that level of control, but she made it feel effortless and fun. Her positive attitude, attention to detail, and confidence in the menu really stood out. It felt less like being served and more like being guided through a great culinary experience. Highly recommend this place, and if you’re lucky enough to have Maria take care of you, you’re in very good hands.

A friend known as a gourmet foodie recommended this restaurant for our last dinner in Barcelona before returning home. So 5 of us came together for an absolutely memorable meal that would be in our memories for a long time. The pictures speak a thousand words and more than anything I could describe in words. So enjoy the feast for the eyes as I savour the memory.

My goal is to offer constructive feedback, not to criticize for the sake of it. Service: The experience started off a bit rocky. The first waiter a young man) forgot my very simple order: still water with lime. That was all I asked for, yet I had to repeat myself—and still received lemon instead of lime. To make matters worse, he interrupted me while I was on the phone. Please, train him. He struggled to understand basic requests, and eventually, I was assigned a different waiter, which improved things. Tasting Menu €90): • Gazpacho – Absolutely perfect. Refreshing and balanced. • Cannelloni – Excellent. One of the highlights. • Scallops on Artichoke Purée – Unfortunately, these elements didn’t complement each other. Both are good separately, but together the dish felt unbalanced and cheapened the experience. 3/10. • Monkfish – The potatoes in the sauce were overly salty, and the dish itself just wasn’t interesting. I’d recommend replacing it with something smaller and fresher. • Beef – It was okay. Unfortunately, I was already full and very hungry when I arrived), so I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I might have. The pacing of the meal could be improved. Wine: I want to give full credit for the excellent selection of Catalan wines. Thoughtful and well-curated—definitely a strong point of the restaurant. Final Thoughts: One clumsy waiter can really damage a guest’s first impression. When the food averages around 6/10, service becomes even more critical. The restaurant is Michelin Guide recommended, but they have a way to go before earning a star. With a few adjustments, especially in training and pacing, they could elevate the entire experience.
