    What a wonderful dining experience, a very deserving michelin starred restaurant. Impeccable service headed by “The Chef himself @romainfornell” humble, amiable and charming individual. Highly recommended @caelisbcn, located in the heart of Barcelona. 💫

    Great location, professional service, fair price for a lunch set. But the tastes were over loaded with Asian infusion, that didn’t reach the expectations for a French restaurant, especially for Asian customers like us. Overall, it’s a good dining experience.

    We had an excellent meal at Caelis. The tasting menu was delicious and insteresting, and the wine pairings were top notch. The service was great, as was the overall ambience. I would definitely eat there again.

    We just had an incredible birthday dinner at Caelis. This was our second visit and once again, we were not disappointed! We celebrated my birthday this time. First of all, the food was amazing. We enjoyed each course of the Earth and Sea tasting menu. We have eaten in several Michelin starred restaurants from 1 to 3 stars, and this was one of our better experiences. The main thing that made it special was the treatment, warmth, professionalism, and attention by the staff. Pablo, the sommelier, explained each wine in great and interesting detail. His depth of knowledge and enthusiasm excited us. The rest of the staff were equally engaged and made my birthday very special. Unfortunately, we did not get the names of the other staff members, but we are grateful to them all. We will definitely plan to return soon.

    Third Michelin star restaurant in Barcelona (love there are so many!). This was by far the weakest. Presentation very detailed but at a cost of the flavors not hitting on each dish. The steak course was certainly the best and was fabulous. Our tables consensus was that it was good - but not great,

    The sommelier thinks he is the best of the best😢. He is only happy with himself. Whats missing is real interesse in the guests.

    A very deserving michelin starred restaurant. We had their Earth and Sea tasting menu and the service was impeccable. The staff were friendly and accommodating, happy to help with our request of well-done cooked fish/steak. All courses were well flavoured, wines were perfectly matched to our tastes and requests.

    Wonderful dining experience in the heart of Barcelona, the food was creative, did the 15 cause tasting menu, 80% was excellent, a couple need to work on. The wine service was fantastic with some little gem of Spain, big plus for the Somm !

    We sat at the counter and it was great watching the preparation. We had the 15 course meal for lunch; nice pace and the sauces were not over powering. The highlights were the langoustine, foe gras and lobster and the red mullet. Service was very friendly. Considering the quality and quantity, the menu was a steal. It was my wife’s birthday and it was a nice treat.

    I have a food restriction that I told the restaurant about before the date and prior to starting the dinner. In the set menu, they served me the same entrant twice. Just not acceptable at a Michelin * restaurant, never have had this issue before. I would not recommend this restaurant to others.

    The most enjoyable fine dining experience we have ever experienced! Each course was delicious and beautifully presented! The sommelier was excellent and the pairings delightful! Great attention was given to one who is gluten free and that was highly appreciated. We will forever reflect back on dining here our first night staying at Ohla Barcelona. The service and food were unforgettable! Highly recommend!

    Caelis was nearly a spiritual experience. The food, its textures and flavours, were unlike anything we ever had. Our dinner will be something we treasure for the rest of our lives. Likewise, the waitstaff were kind and courteous. When we asked about a cheese at the desert course our waiter located the best pcheesemonger to buy it from. The staff were personal but professional. The only problem we faced were some overloud guests whose belligerence dented the ambiance of the evening. That being said, the plateware and design of the space were whimsical and fun. Filled with poetic meaning. The last two dishes, along with the amuse bouche were our favourite courses. Would recommend.

    It was my daughter's first experience with a Michelin Star restaurant, and it was a great experience. We opted for the 55 euro per person menu, which included a choice of two appetizers, and a choice of two entrees, and a choice of sweet dessert or cheese plate. Coffee and a glass of wine are also included. We upgraded to the 70 euro per person menu, which is just added one more appetizer or entree, plus a second glass of wine. But thinking about, we may not have needed that, as we couldn't finish two entrees. Maybe we should've selected two appetizers and one entree instead. The appetizer of tuna tartar was amazing, but the two entrees were just OK, but both very generous in portions. We reserved early enough to set at the counter watching the kitchen staff preparing the food. It was quite fun. Overall a very good experience. Kudos to the kitchen staff.

    We enjoyed lunch on a Friday and it was an exceptional experience. My husband and I are mostly vegetarian but eat some fish. One of the tasting menus offered that day was Vegetarian which we wanted. The maitre d’ asked if we would want any fish substitutes to that menu and was happy to suggest options, two of which we enthusiastically agreed. Before the items on the menu were served, we relished three rounds of the chef’s amuse bouche for that day. Exquisite surprises with each, one more inventive and fabulous than the next. Our menu items and fish substitutions did not disappoint and were as inventive and delicious as everything else. Btw the bread was insanely good, along with the choice of butters, olive, tomato and rosemary. A whole meal could have centered around just that with a great red wine. As for the wine, we enjoyed a delicious champagne to start and then a rich, delicious red that paired seamlessly with all of our dishes. We cannot be more complimentary! Just a genuine pleasure for both of us.

    We tried the lunch menu for 55€ and it was a beautifully crafted meal composed of appetizer, main course, and dessert. The wine pairing was perfect. Curious to try the tasting menu in the future and would sit along the bar to witness how all the magic happens. Thank you for a fabulous gastronomic experience!

    We started with a drink at the beautiful rooftop bar and then made our way down to Caelis for dinner. It was AMAZING from start to finish. I enjoyed the earth and sea tasting and my wife enjoyed the vegetarian tasting and we were both so amazed by each of the 15 courses. The sommelier was very helpful and explained each of the wine suggestions for our meals. Even at the 105 euro price per person this still felt like a great deal.

    Experience was unforgettable. Being seated next to the kitchen I thought would have been disastrous and too loud but it was quite the contrary. You are able to see the concentration in the chefs eyes and the interactions between cooks as they collaborate on preparing the dishes. The flavor in all of the dishes was spectacular, all had multiple dimensions and complexity that kept you wanting more. Portion sizes also did not disappoint, they were ample and kept you satisfied.

    All in all it was of course not bad. But it was not inspiring or new. Sone of the dishes tasted very similar to each other, caviar is not a guarantee for a high quality meal and the wine tasted cheap. And in addition the air condition made noises. This is not a Michelin Star experience.

    Very surprised for this one star Michelin. Excellent food, food presentation, service and, according to my fiancée, wine pairing was on point. We chose to sit at the bar/ open kitchen, and it was lively, busy, and everyone seemed to know what they were doing, no yelling or screaming sous-chefs, helpers… our sommelier, Carla was just the perfect host.
