"10/10! So happy to have found this gem! Get the tasting menu, you will not be disappointed! Service and ambiance are astounding! Not pretentious, staff are super attentive and knowledgeable. Good food done right. Favorites were the oyster, parmesan cheese puff, tomato and pickled mussel salad, shrimp paella, and ice cream!"

"Absolutely wonderful. The service is excellent, the restaurant is a comfortable size and has a nice ambience. It's great to see the chefs playing right in front of you. The wine selections were great, the tasting menu was spectacular. So many flavors, textures and layers. My first visit but it will not be my last. I recommend a reservation"

"Possibly my favorite restaurant in Barcelona. I have been here multiple times and it simply does not disappoint. I feel like 90% of the items served are excellent with the rest being experimental and simply not everyone's cup of tea. The service is always great and I love the vibe of the tiny outside dining area. Great place for a date night"

"Took my girlfriend here for her birthday + knowing it’s under bib gourmand. For the price of €60+ per person for the multiple course experience, it was such a great deal. In the pictures are the standouts plus the thai dessert that I absolutely loved. Only thing though, is the service. While the staff tried their best, they need someone a bit more experienced and know how to manage the flow of the place. The staff seemed very young, needing more training, overwhelmed with the bustle of the place. Our wine sommelier never came despite being told twice and they forgot to put in a bucket the bottle we ordered, only realizing it a few mins later. There is also no birthday special, just a little candle on the “sad day at the park” which was not even a cake. Overall though, I recommend to try at least once when you’re in Barcelona."

"Per recommendation from a friend, I came here in December (solo) and treated myself to the tasting menu. By default as an American we probably consider ourselves to eat a lot - but dear lord this was a good amount of food. I had to tell the server to not bring out the last dessert as I was so full from the other dishes. Each dish was carefully curated, with different textures and flavor profiles. I thoroughly enjoyed every single dish and would love to see how the menu evolves in the future. I also received the kindest service from all the staff, making it very comfortable to be in a place where you may not totally understand the language but can feel as if you are home. Would highly recommend if you would like to splurge and treat yourself!"

"The food was super tasty, portions were a bit small, but enough to fill your “gourmet” stomach. Very organised service and kitchen. The staff was very kind and helpful with every question we had about the food. The atmosphere had a very chill vibe. Recommended from me to all locals and tourists. A very well deserved Michelin star!!!"

"As a tapas specialist featured in the Michelin Guide, this restaurant offers a well-crafted course menu. While I agree with the many reviews mentioning the service, the meal itself was excellent. It's not that they are severely understaffed, but the service definitely needs more systematic training. That said, the quality of the food alone is enough to make me want to visit again!"

"I was recommended to come here and told about the 11 step menu. I was lucky to reserve a table for two and had a general idea that the place is more informal than other Michelin star Restaurants. It's not your classic posh place to go and the ambience was pretty relaxed with some good popular music in the background. The service in general was great, staff were friendly, however it seemed that there may have been a lack of communication or coordinating when bringing food and drinks to the table. We were served the first dishes without having brought the wine which isn't a major problem but it's nice to start with a sip first. The meal itself was excellent, the quality of the food and the way it was presented was exquisite and for what it was worth. Aside from the menu we also tried the oyster and each one was delicious. I highly recommend you try them if you enjoy oysters. We were explained every dish and the waiters explained with a lot of passion. I can't say what was my favourite dish as they were all amazing but the ice cream pad tai dessert was definitely something I had never tried and would love to savour again. I would recommend coming at least once and I would maybe repeat in the future."
