6.5/10We are vegetarian and we ordered two dishes to begin with. The food looked beautiful however the taste was extremely bland. it did not feel comparable to other Michelin restaurants I have been to. therefore we were disappointed and did not order any further dishes.

10/10All the dishes were executed nicely, beautiful presentation. The only negative was the service was a bit fast between courses.

8/10Great little restaurant with an interesting philosophy about food as art. Ambience is lovely. Menu is very interesting. We tried the langoustine carpaccio, the cod croquettes, the roasted carrots, steamed fish, and cannelloni. We were there the day before a holiday, so they were out of some dishes and there was only one waitress and one food runner who doubled as the bartender. Still, the service was pretty good given the small number of staff. My only criticism is that the outdoor chairs were a little uncomfortable. Would go again!

10/10Contraban was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for what turned out to be an extraordinary creativity meal. Beautiful, quiet, warm place with the lights and a really nice dj with ambient house music. The menu offers a perfect blend of creativity and comfort, with dishes that are both visually stunning and packed with flavor. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a fantastic meal, is a must-visit. It exceeded every expectation, and I can’t wait to return!

10/10+1We found this restaurant in the Michelin guide and decided to try it. We did not order the tasting menu. We ordered bread with butter. Butter comes in Smoked, Peppered and Seaweed, three flavours, every one has its uniqueness. Grilled carrots with crispy rice was exceptional and innovative! Grilled squid with gnocchi was so tender and cooked to perfection. Chateaubriandt was cooked in banana leaf encased in clay. It was definitely the highlight of our meal! Don’t forget to try the tiramisu which was the best one we have tasted! The meal is excellent and we will recommend to anyone who comes to Barcelona! Mucho Gracias for such good recommendations on the dishes!

10/10Beautiful setting with wonderful staff who were very attentive and helpful. The food was amazing Inventive and comfort food at same time Only drawback was man at next table who did not seem to understand that patience is a virtue and thus, was loud and demanding The lemon cake with pistachio ice cream dessert was perfect ending

5.5/10Food was super average. I am surprised they are recommended by Michelin. We ordered the rustic bread, tomato salad and two main courses. Barcelona is food heaven and you can find much better quality at lower prices at many other places. Decor looks super cool. There was a DJ playing on Thursday night but there were only 3-4 other guests. Maybe people show up later but by 9 still no one showed up. Absolutely nothing special about the service. Wrong menu, wrong language, Got still water instead of sparkling etc etc etc. its not a bad place. But when a restaurant is in Michelin guide then expectations are much higher and in Barcelona the bar should be much higher

8/10The atmosphere and food were very good. The service was very slow, and the server apologized for this at the end of our dining experience. It seemed the restaurant was understaffed the evening we visited. Our server did her absolute best and was very kind, but she just had too many guests and was basically on her own for the whole restaurant. Maybe this is a one off, and there are typically more servers, but our experience was definitely hindered by super slow response times.

9.5/10A feast for the senses. Visually stunning food that tastes as delicious as it looks. This spot is out of the way, tucked down an alley in the Wittmore Hotel. Worth the visit!

9/10The place is very comfortable, beautiful and interesting. The food is excellent the banana leaf filet is outstanding. The service though, seemed to me that could be faster. Sometime we were in the table long periods waiting for a waiter. The restaurant outside is small(although very beautiful) and when you have a big group(the case in the day I was there)can be noisy.

10/10Likely the best restaurant we visited during our trip to Barcelona. The plates were absolutely beautiful, only exceeded by their flavors. The service was impeccable in such a beautiful location. This is a must visit stop when visiting Barcelona, your expectations will be blown away all at a reasonable price point. Thanks for making our night!

10/10Ambiance, food, and service was excellent. My only pointer would be.... to not have a tiny sign with a trash pile below it. It's not a deterent, I'd come back over and over again.

10/10Had a wonderful dinner for my husband’s birthday. This was our first time at Contraband (located within the Witmore Hotel). Food was excellent and they offered many vegetarian options. Ambiance was incredible, it’s a beautiful space with a dj and very intimate. Highly recommend if you are near the Gothic Quarter for a nice evening.
