    The lunch menu offers 3 choices per dishes, though the ones we took seemed to be less filling than expected. The starter was really good though. The main dish would probably benefit from more love and quantity, 2 mini carrots, a tiny oignon and a fish fillet arent much for a main. The chocolate dessert was ok but far less interesting than the lemon pie. Overall its a good option for a fancy lunch.

    The food was OK, however expectations were much higher. Service was poor. Every dish was mixed up, or not ordered, or put in front of the wrong person. You would expect more professionalism from your caliber restaurant.

    We came there upon reviews on the net and were verry happy of our choice. Ultimately we went for a drink at their bar only to be amazed by the fact that they had Grand Marnier.. it seems to be a rare commodity in that part of the world.

    Nice environment. Maybe the main drawback was that some of the waiters he didn’t speak, either in Spanish, or Catalan, which is in some ways surprising given that most of the clientele was local. The price increment if you ask for anything beyond the menu is very steep.

    It’s a pity waiters and service don’t know the menu and ingredients properly most of the time. Menu cost €28 and a glass of wine around €12 it’s not well manage by the person who decided it. food delicious and well cooked!

    Great food and service in a nice atmosphere. Also had pre dinner drinks in The Bankers Bar upstairs, which was also great. The bar is decorated with safety deposit boxes very cool! Would recommend both places.

    Service was slow and wasn’t that busy Brought a bottle of wine and had to ask for glass to refilled 3 times Same with water Had the beef tenderloin. Someone had thrown chips onto and plate and chucked the beef onto it and some peppers. Kids could have presented this better

    Superior experience. You will not be disappointed. A 14 course menu accommodated by excellent service. I couldn't ask more of a dinning event. I would fly back to Barcelona to experience again.

    The staff were very attentive and the food was good. I really liked the pana cotta and the blanc spritz cocktail. I wouldn’t necessarily describe the atmosphere as casual but it was relaxed and pleasant.

    Amazing service, and atmosphere, fun, well sized and well prized and very well thought of dishes. Every dish we had. had told a story, aware of its different stages of service and perspective, deceitful ingredients tastes and well layered textures, all of which tell a story and keeps you interested in the dish and its ingredients as well as it unwraps in your tastes. Other than the food the place has an hypnotic atmosphere that instantly makes you feel calm, comfortable and inspired with good energy! 10/10! Bravo!

    Awesome as always! Great quality-price restaurant and very calm ambiance! The wine selection is also great at a very reasonable price. If any but, they did not bring any entrant which could have been nice.

    Food is always great, all staff very nice (also speak English).. if you want a different experience try the Sunday Brunch. No need to dress up by the way but long pants en clean shoes will come a long way. Due to Covid-19 it was not the buffet style as used to but still left very satisfied.

    We book a table for 5 on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was empty most of the time. The starters were fine, but nothing special. Homemade breads were really good. We ordered the filet mignon (4) and the beef cheek, recommended by the maître. Our main dishes were served cold, and the beef cheek was impossible to be eaten, tough and full of fat and nerves. When we were ordering desert, my daughter asked the suflê. The maître repeatedly told her that this desert would take more than 30min to be served (it says 20min in the menu)...obviously trying to hush things up. We turned then to creme Catalans which were served with a taste of black smoke (burned taste). Bad experience, bad service. Not expected from such a place.

    If you enjoy luxury by itself, this is your place. If you are looking for a grastronomical experience, you will be deeply disappointed. We thought that the name of Carme Ruscalleda would be a great experience and it has been only a great cost.

    We were offered a smaller table in a corner while we were one of the first guests. The waitress said the other tables were already assigned; however, when we left after our brunch, quite some of them were still empty. The food offer is ok, but with no exceptional dishes. The sushi was certainly homemade, given the big chunks of fish. The veal had to be warmed again. Unfortunately, the experience didn't meet our expectations since we visited the Mandarin Oriental and their restaurants a few times before.

    After going to the exhibition of Carme Ruscalleda at the Palau Robert (Free entrance, Sala 3) the Chef in the Manderin Oriental in Barcelona, we decided to have lunch here. We enjoyed all of it, the atmosphere, the staff, the food, everything. The exhibition is there till September so copy this great idea for the day ;-)

    Beautiful room. Pitch perfect professional service but unlike most professional hotel restaurants - such warm and loving service - we felt exceedingly welcomed. The food is lovely and to the point. Slightly limited wine list but many stunners to be found.

    I think there was some problem that day, both in the kitchen and the service. We had to wait for a long long time for every dish even though it was a closed menu of only 4 courses. For the third course, the waitress served us politely saying "Here's your beef" when it was cleary squab and we had to run after her to ask if she made a mistake with another table's order. It turned out they changed the menu without telling us anything about it. They offered their apologies and while the food was good, but it was a big disappointment.
