Disfrutar

It took us 2 years to get a reservation at this restaurant so we were definitely looking forward to the experience. I am happy to say that the experience met our high expectations. While the decor itself is somewhat minimalistic it was a treat to see the different work spaces/kitchens and get an explanation for each. The service was well coordinated and the staff had great attention to detail. Each of the 28 courses was creative and beautifully presented. We were very happy with the diversity of flavors and textures. Hopefully we will be able to get a reservation to return next year to try a different menu.

I went to this restaurant in 2019. My experience was very good! My friends and I order the disfrutar classic menu. It was plenty of food, I believe 10 or 12 options, all of them very unique and different. I liked a lot. However, my friends considered that the menu has to be less food and the didn’t like the tables. Despite that comments, I consider that this restaurant deserves the Michelin Star!

28-course lunch, and most of the courses were fun and delicious. It took 5 hours for our group to finish, which sounds comically long, but I was never bored and found the portion ultimately perfect. Most service was excellent, but service for the wine pairing was infuriatingly frustrating. There wasn't a single course where the sommelier told us how many courses the wine paired with, so for most of the wines, we would either finish the wine before some of its intended pairings came out, or still had not tried it when it was time to move on to the next wine. I asked the somm many times but he never told us up-front. One time I asked him and he walked away and shouted an answer with his back to me. Another time I got out of my seat to find him because he didn't answer when I'd asked; another staff member asked if I needed help, so I let him know the question, and he gave me the wrong answer. Per person costs: lunch 315 euros, wine pairing 170 euros, water was 4.10 euros per bottle, and a 10% charge was added to everything.

Overall nice, but not perfect to me. The technique and innovation perspective is no doubt, but felt a bit boring after the same ingredient and technique is used over and over again. Only one staff per table so not that nice for a bigger group like us (5). As group of 5 we didn't have the open kitchen table, which was fine but worth noting. Wine pairing was great. Nice price compare to Michelin 3 star restaurant in my city. But probably won't come again.

Dinner here was the best meal of my life. You have to book it a year in advance. I flew into Barcelona just to eat here and it was absolutely worth it!
