We were looking forward to dining at this Michelin-starred restaurant but were quite underwhelmed by the experience. The meal felt disorganized, with cold and hot appetizers arriving all at once, and the bread service oddly placed in the middle of the meal. While the food was presented beautifully, it unfortunately lacked flavor. The sea bass and cheek were cooked perfectly, but one was bland while the other was overly salty.

The ambiance was also disappointing, resembling a hotel lobby, with the proximity to the entrance proving to be a distraction. Despite the professional service, the overall experience fell short of expectations.

Myself and my mum had a gorgeous evening at this restaurant. We got the 6 course gastronomic tasting menu! It was delicious. Our highlights were the carrot soup ‘shot’, the olive oil bread, the aubergines, the risotto and my non alcoholic cocktail was divine! We really had an amazing experience here and found it so exciting to see which dish would come out next! Thanks to all at this restaurant for giving us such a lovely dining experience ❤️

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating a special occasion at Virens Barcelona, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The cuisine was exquisite, and we ordered the Tierra y Mar Degustación, which left my husband and me delighted. The two ladies and gentleman who comprised the wait staff were exceptionally knowledgeable, enhancing our experience with their impeccable service and expertise. It was truly an unforgettable evening. Thank you to all who made this evening a fantastic experience.

My partner and I had a fantastic experience.  The food was great, and our server was extremely nice.  They really care about their customers here.  I am prediabetic, and they were more than happy to make some dietary adjustments for me.  I also like how the chef uses natural ingredients.

We tried the “green experience” tasting menu.  Here are some of our favorite items: the croquettes, the kimchi empanadas, the green tea bread, the eggplant dish, the risotto, and the creme brulee.

The kimchi empanadas were extremely flavorful.  The cream-filled croquettes were also flavorful and crispy, and I loved the filling, too.  The croquettes were also warm, and it was nice to eat them after we had some of the colder items on the menu.

The bread was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It came with some olive oil and butter. I loved the olive oil—it had a little kick to it!

The eggplant dish was excellent. I am not a big eggplant fan, but this dish was flavorful, and the texture was nice.

The risotto was nice and creamy, and I loved the texture.  The crispy carrots on top were also great.

The creme brulee was absolutely delicious.  Unfortunately, I couldn't eat the whole thing because I'm prediabetic.

We enjoyed our time here, and we would love to come back.  Muchas gracias, VIRENS!

Food is good, and it’s worth adding the bread. I had the wine pairing that was ok, a bit too light for some of the dishes. Good service.
