6.5/10The service, atmosphere and wine selection was excellent but the chef chose to focus more on what the dish looked like rather than the flavors. Dinner was bizarre and the worst meal we have had on our trip.

10/10Had the tasting menu which was great and expected of a Michelin rated restaurant, as was the impeccable service. My wife and I are celebrating our 25th and had a great time there. As tourists in Barcelona, it was very convenient to get to, just a short walk from the Liceu metro on La Rambla. Would definitely recommend for a great dining experience!

10/10Excellent experience here at this gem of a restaurant. The interior, the service and the food was all superb and we had a great evening. Last but not least they extended the service to calling us a cab which was the easiest transition back to our other hotel.

10/10Mind blown 🤯 Amazing menu at an unbelievable price with fabulous service. 9 courses for 72Euros? @fondaespanya has just slipped into my number one spot for Barcelona restaurants considering quality, price, creativity and service. Chef Martín Berasategui has created an extraordinary experience that should be an example for many other restaurants to follow. Somehow, Michelin have so far only bestowed a recommendation, not a star, yet this experience has surpassed many one star restaurants I've had the good fortune to dine at in Barcelona and it's surrounds. Highly recommended

6/10I feel bad about writing this review as my son and I were very impressed with our tasting menu, service and pairing wines. The problem started 6 hours later when my son (20) starting experiencing stomach cramps quickly followed by 48 hours of diarrhoea and vomiting. I myself started an hour later with the same symptoms. As we had not eaten anything else that day apart from some avocado toast it must have been food poisoning from the meal. I am a qualified nurse and recognised the symptoms easily. Such a shame when it was a special meal to mark my retirement and cost £250. The remainder of our trip to Barcelona was spent in the bathroom or recuperating. It may be worth checking if anyone else has been affected.
