Although I am not a big fan of sea food, I was deeply impressed by the culinary mastery of the restaurant's gastronomical team as well as the hospitality & warmth of all the service staff. As all the seafood were cooked in innovative ways that preserve their distinctive freshness while greatly enhancing their delicacy and removing unpleasant smell, their methods to deal with pigeon and green beans also greatly pleased my tastes. I was especially surprised by the pretty gifts the team prepared for me in my hotel room, as the cooking book with the message & signatures from the team really warmed my heart and the olive oil & bottle opener also become my beloved souvenirs. Anyway, would definitely recommend it to my friends who have the chance to visit the beautiful city of Barcelona!

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.

As for the Michelin starred place everything was perfect. We had the tasting menu in Jan 2022 and it was delicious, but we would appreciate maybe more variety. Some of the dishes were composed of similar ingredients. All delicious of course. Service was impeccable. Very small and cozy place. We had a chance to stay at the hotel as well so it was a nice perk to eat right at the hotel restaurant. The bottle of wine was an excellent touch. Once they update the tasting menu for the new season we will come back for sure.

Swing amazing dinner experience in this restaurant. With a new menu the dishes were just exceptional. Very very good! The only weird thing was that I got soemthing strange in my food and after I have mentioned it to the waiter it was forgotten and nothing happened afterwards. No apology no nothing. But it absolutely didn’t ruin our experience.
