Excellent 13 course meal enjoyed by teenage boys and parents. Service was good.
The only complaint was the restaurant decor. While the meal was well thought out and presented, and the adjacent hotel bathrooms quite nice, the dining room is just old fashioned art deco with cheap tables and chairs.
Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing this valuable feedback.
We are pleased that the 13-course meal was to the enjoyment of both the younger and older members of your family, and that the service met your expectations, reflecting our dedication to guest satisfaction. Our culinary team, led by the esteemed Martín Berasategui, takes pride in crafting exceptional gastronomic experiences, and it warms us to know it was well-received.
However, we regret to hear that the restaurant's decor did not align with your tastes. The design of our dining room, created by the renowned Domènech i Montaner, is an homage to the Art Deco period, aiming to offer an authentic atmosphere that complements the historical value of our establishment. We understand that aesthetic preferences are subjective, and we appreciate your feedback on this matter.
Our 'Viaje por el Modernismo' menu is a testament to our commitment to blending tradition with modern culinary techniques, and we would be delighted to have you back to explore more of our gastronomic offerings.
Best wishes,
Thais F., General Manager

We found it in the Michelin guide and went for dinner with my daughter who was studying in Barcelona. The building and overall decor is aristocratic but relaxed at same time. We had the tasting menu and loved all the dishes. It well deserved at least one Michelin star and hope it gets it soon.

Top Service and excellent fresh food. It is a high class restaurant in a very nice setting. It is rather highly priced, but off course it is a suggestion by Michelin.

At least as good as most of the 3* restaurants I have visited, a fraction of the price and unpretentious.
Every single dish was absolutely spot on. The cheap pairing wine menu was ridiculously cheap at 35euros with Catalunyan wines I had never heard of (and a nice Rioja) but which happened to go perfectly with the meals.
I honestly couldn’t think what I would have had them do differently with any single course and I was racking my brains about meals in The Fat Duck, The Waterside, Cafe de Paris, French Laundry etc as to what they did better and concluded a bit of theatre, pretension and a bill 5-10x more.
If you appreciate food you must go here.
