9.5/10Carmelo served us with great attention to detail, wit, and charm. His wine recommendations for each course were excellent. We were delighted by the Bornes and the Catalan cuisine. We’ll definitely be back on our next visit to Barcelona.

Food is outstanding!! Such a phenomenal "accidental" find. Reasonably priced. Beautiful setting and atmosphere. Will be back.
Bornès • Owner
Hanlie, We love a good “accidental” discovery 😊 Great to hear the food stood out and that the atmosphere and setting made it even more special. That combination is exactly what we aim for. We’ll be here for your next visit.

7.5/10I would have liked some more vegetarian options.
Bornès • Owner
Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you took the time to let us know your impression. As we have only recently opened, we are still refining and expanding our gastronomic proposal. Vegetarian dishes will certainly have a stronger presence as the menu evolves — including plates that are both satisfying and full of character, like our grilled leeks. We appreciate your comment and hope to welcome you back soon to discover the next steps of the menu at Bornès.

6.5/10Too many similar sauces and too many potatoes with most dishes.
Bornès • Owner
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Julianne. We appreciate you taking the time to point this out. Comments like yours help us reflect on our menu and continue refining our modern Catalan cuisine to ensure each dish feels balanced and distinctive. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future.

10/10One of the best Restaurant experiences in Barcelona. The food is of exceptional quality, in my mind it is at the level where they deserve one Michelin Star. They have a clear philosophy that shows in every dish, building on a foundation of local and regional recipes and locally sourced food and they develop the recipes further, playing on all the elements of a dish. I also love the variety of little dishes they offer. The wine list is excellent. Above all, the service is phantastic. A great team working well together and truly taking care of customers. We went there twice in a row and will be back soon.
Bornès • Owner
Thank you so much for such a generous and thoughtful review, Otmar! We’re truly honoured by your words and delighted to know that your experience at Bornès felt so complete — from the philosophy behind each dish to the variety of smaller plates and the care we put into our modern Catalan cuisine. It’s especially meaningful to hear your praise for the wine list and, above all, for the team. Taking genuine care of our guests is something we value deeply, so knowing you felt that connection means a lot to us. The fact that you visited us twice in a row is the greatest compliment we could receive. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

8.5/10The restaurant is situated off the beaten track in a maze of small streets. The restaurant breathes class and hospitality. The welcome drinks and cocktails were super. The small starter dishes were sublime and subtle. The main courses however were quite massive. The chicken was beautifully marinated, however half a chicken (and some vegetables) would suffice.
Bornès • Owner
Thank you for sharing your experience, Wouter. We’re glad you enjoyed discovering Bornès, from the welcoming atmosphere and cocktails to the subtle starters and the hospitality of the team. It’s great to hear the chicken stood out in flavour and preparation. We also appreciate your note regarding portion size — feedback like this helps us keep refining the dining experience while staying true to our generous, honest approach to cooking. We hope to welcome you back again for another visit through the Born’s hidden streets.
