We have taken celebration menu. Starters were wery delishes and interesting. The main dishes were also interesting and delicious, but a little salty for our taste. Pavlova's dessert was very beautiful with meringue on top and berries inside.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time time to share your review. We are truly glad to hear that your dining experience with us was enjoyable. We are delighted that the starters and the beautifully presented Pavlova dessert resonated so well with you. Our Chef Romain Fornell and the team take great pride in crafting contemporary and avant-garde culinary creations, and it is rewarding to know that these efforts are appreciated. However, we understand that the seasoning of the main dishes was not to your preference. While we strive to achieve a balance in flavour that pleases most palates, we apologise if we did not meet your taste on this occasion. Nonetheless, we hope that the ambience of our restaurant, including the open kitchen and bar seating, enhanced your overall experience. Being able to witness the magic happen live and interacting with our chefs is something we love to offer our guests. We would greatly value the opportunity to welcome you again.

The food was good (not excellent). One of my dishes (fish) was not fully cooked. Over all the food was only luke warm by the time it was presented to us. The ambiance is spoilt by being particularly noisy (weren’t able to hear each other talk or the full explanation of the menu). Everyone spoke very loudly in order to be heard making it worse. The waiters were rushing around in a chaotic manner it, along with the noise level, it made the whole experience quite unpleasant. The Somelier was knowledgeable about the wine as you would expect but didn’t really explain why he had paired them with particular courses. The wines weren’t delivered in some cases with the right course (he was too busy with other diners). He was derogatory about other wines particularly rose. He displayed a degree of arrogance which was off putting. The wine portions were very small. In one case probably no more than 50ml. Given we paid over £200 for the paired wines it was disappointing. Took 25 minutes to pay!

Dining at Caelis in Barcelona was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was elegant, and the service was impeccable. The highlight was the local wine pairings, expertly selected to complement each dish. Every course was a culinary masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff’s attentiveness made the evening even more special. Caelis is a must-visit for anyone seeking top-tier dining in Barcelona. I can’t wait to return!

We had lunch at Caelis on February 26, 2025, expecting a Michelin-star experience, but it was a huge letdown. My wife’s sea bass was completely raw, she couldn’t even cut it. She sent it back, and while they briefly apologized, they left us waiting nearly 30 minutes for a replacement without checking on us. We felt completely ignored. They didn’t serve our second glass of wine as promised, nor did they refill our water. When the dish finally arrived, the moment was ruined. No gesture was made to recover the experience. The rest of the food was mediocre, lacking the creativity or finesse expected at this level. Service was inattentive and unprofessional, making us feel like an afterthought. A Michelin-starred restaurant should deliver both quality food and exceptional service, Caelis failed at both. We left frustrated and disappointed. Absolutely not worth it, and we won’t be returning.

Dear Ozan, We are grateful for your feedback. While we are known for our diverse menu offerings, including our degustation menus and our weekly lunch menu, it seems we fell short of expectations during your visit.

We take pride in the ambiance and cooking experience we offer, and it is disheartening to learn that our service did not reflect the attentiveness and professionalism we are committed to providing. Moreover, we deeply regret that you felt ignored during your wait and that the delay in service disrupted the enjoyment of your meal.

We understand that the culinary creations of our Michelin-starred Chef Romain Fornell and his team are expected to deliver creativity and finesse, and we are sorry to hear that on this occasion, we did not

Good meal and efficient service. Missing the touches that other Michelin restaurants provided this week to celebrate my husband’s birthday despite it being noted in the reservation. Maybe because they were focused on Valentine’s Day.

The Celebration Menu was exactly as described. It was a celebration of food for just about all of your senses. It was beautifully presented to the precision timing of a German passenger train. Each course far exceeded the written menu description. What kept me from declaring this a "Perfect 10" was the wine service. I'll go big on wine. We were presented a taste of a Cava early, but for some reason, the young lady was called away from our table by someone out of view as if she was about to make a big mistake. She returned with a Cava that was slightly "older" we think. Then nothing. We went well into 5 dishes and empty glasses when I finally asked. "Do you sell wine? I will buy some." I wanted the wine pairing but was told I didn't pre-order it. Odd, I get we needed to pre-order the meal, but mine bad if I missed I needed to pre-order the wine. Other tables were presented right away with the iPad Wine List. It was never offered, and by time we got going, I was too late.

I ate here on the 6/1/25 to celebrate my partner's birthday. It was honestly the worse experience I've had in a such a restaurant. The food, even though the products were very nice, was not well executed leaving us with totally uncoherent combinations, many of the ingredients you could not feel at all ect... The manager was the worst part of the experience. She would answer to us in a condescending way, not acknowledging our concern and making excuses to justify the price like "hem... do you know how a croissant is made? It is not that easy you know!". We're talking about a Michelin-starred chef, where the question shouldn’t be whether something is hard to make, but whether it’s made well!! The food was so bad we stopped the experience hoping for a commercial gesture as we were just halfway through the meal but no, the manager tried to justify saying that everyone has different taste and that "ok I can understand for the ravioli but you cannot tell me the rest was not well made" wtf?

From the sleek atmosphere to the innovative tasting menu, every detail was thoughtfully crafted. The dishes were a stunning blend of modern Catalan flavors, with each bite more memorable than the last. Highlights included a delicate seafood course and a dessert that redefined indulgence. The knowledgeable and attentive staff enhanced the experience by sharing the story behind each wine pairing. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a remarkable journey that will stay with me for a long time.

Caelis exceeded our expectations! We can't thank the staff enough for a lovely evening. And a special thank you for the wonderful pasta dish the chef prepared for our 7 year old nephew. It was a perfect meal for him while the rest of the group dined on the Celebration Menu. Which was simply divine. There are not enough words to express how much we enjoyed Caelis. It was truly an exceptional meal!
