The tasting menu was beautifully composed and each course thoughtful, balanced, and executed with real precision. You can feel the creativity without it ever becoming overcomplicated or forced. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which elevated the entire experience.

A very special meal and evening. The food was wonderful in taste and beautiful in presentation and it was matched by excellent, friendly, and accommodating service. My wife is gluten free and her food was just as good. Loved it!

The first bottle of water was named under St Aniol although it was already opened (waiter did not open it in front of us) the second one was from nectari (his own water probably from the faucet but filtered ) we paid 15€ per each bottle although the second one was filtered when I asked the waiter why the second bottle was not St Aniol he said and quote: - Oh it is ! is just that they do bottled it for us under our name - if there is something I can't stand is being lied on my face . I left , I said nothing but I will never go back.

Food was okay but too salty overall for our taste. The experience was ruined by the waiter who came to charge us. When we told him we are paying partly with card and the rest with cash, he told us we should have told him earlier. However, no one came before him to ask us how we are going to pay. His attitude is unacceptable given that we were at a Michelin recommended restaurant. Overall the service of other staff was good and attentive.

Sumptuous food with unbelievable taste and presentation. We had Brut Nature Reserve from the House. Service was punctual and warm. Prices for a weekday lunch $40 pp) were a bargain

I had the menu de mediodía. The food was ok, but not something extraordinary. The restaurant was filled up soon after 2pm and then you were ignored. I had to ask for the bill 3 times to 3 different staff.

This is a fancy restaurant so expect it to be expensive with excellent service and creative food. The gazpacho with sorbet is just a great idea, credit to the chef for combining these two refreshing ingredients. Deserves to catch on. Other dishes don't work as well but that's what happens when you experiment. Chef and staff give it 100%, if you can splash out give it a go.

A great restaurant in its location near Plz Espanya. The draw for me was it is one of the few Michelin reccomended spots open on a Monday, complete with a super Menu Executivo. Good quality, locally sourced ingredients were very good, and the rice dish is bursting with flavour! It was my husband's Birthday, and they very sweetly presented the Petit Fours on a platter with 'Felicidades' drawn with fruit coulis, and complete with candle!

This restaurant cannot by any means be considered a Michelin recommended or even an IN. It’s super expensive and totally not worth the money. Disappointing.

Everithing perfect. Good food, atmosphere, client service. We had the degustation menu with wine pairing. Delicious! The only problem was they charged 5 euros plus because we asked a little bit more of olive oil. We spent 270 euros in two person, so this olive oil should be courtesy.

Food was interestingly presented but often the bites were so small you couldn't detect flavors.

We arrived on a local holiday and the lunch-menu was not available as we had thought. The staff however fixed this and we had the menu that we had planned, very nice! Food was excellent and well served. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is a bit uninteresting though. Well worth a visit!

The food was ok, not amazing, at this price point Barcelona has much better to offer

It was my fiancé’s birthday and I asked for a surprise candle, but they went all the way with a beautiful presentation in the desert. Amazing experience, delicious food and really kind staff. Definitely a place to return!

Excellent service with a well-cooked tasting menu. Very intimate location with great ambiance.
4.0
Business Class in a disappointing way... Expectations are high when you pay +100/pax, so it creates pressure for the restaurant but It didn't even get close of landing close to the the airport I was expecting...Just had our valentines dinner at Nectari and it was an experience I cannot forget. In summary the wine is excellent, the service is good, the food is mediocre and the decor is poor. Ambience From the outside the restaurant look like an airport lounge with blinded windows, when you walk in you basically go directly into a quite poorly arranged seating area. The room is separated into two distinct rooms with the 1st room being quite small and with very small tables and very tacky decor. Honestly I've been in hair dressers with better style. The waiter sat us right next to the wine serving table which made us feel sitting next to a working area. I don't think this create the best sensation for this kinda place. The tiles of the floor and the decoration give as sensation of an upscale Airbnb apartment but didn't really hit the spot The waiters "Happy" ringtone only rang 3 times in the 1st 10 minutes, but then the nice fellow turned it off. The waiters were nice and, so that's a plus for the place Positive: - The wine menu is amazing; really good selection; especially the cava and the port wine and red wine was superb. - The service was also quite good. Friendly waiters, attentive service with good in finding solutions for my pregnant wife - The cheese menu and the meat was really good. Improvements: - The food was a bit too off in general; - 1st dish was served from a piece of African inspired decor used for candles. The taste of the starter wasn't anything particular and got us started of the wrong foot - 2nd dish was a dish served in a can. It was funny but almost felt me like being back at KLMs business class.. - the foie, was good but the design made it look like a cookie and the colour was the same as the previous dish which didn't fly well with my wife. - the bacalao was good but the serving was ridiculously small and served of something that looked like a toilet bowl. - The meat was really good though. The poor experience might be because it was a Valentines dinner menu, which didn't hit the spot. but the decor is so tacky and the price/value equation didn't sum up what I expect from a Michelin star restaurants. Sorry guys, I'm not flying with this airline again.

Really a good place to go. Dishes are really good, but I think there is still some room for having them excellent. However services, quality and place are excellent

What an excellent restaurant, the good was superb and the service brilliant - only annoyance was the background music which was a tad intrusive

This restaurant is fantastic. The food is inventive yet subtle and the atmosphere is very enjoyable without being too foo foo. We loved everything about it

Could Be perfect, missinha atmosphere. Also the service is without passion, nearly clinical.
9.5
Really love the food and way of presentation. Very good and correct service. Every course clearly explained in detail. The various tastes were certainly not ordinary, but all of them worth trying. Not for once.

Noisy place. Fine service. Food is acceptable. No discount through Yums earned applied. I shall claim my Yums back from The Fork. Quite unacceptable. I shall not come call back.

The food was great, tasty and well presented. The experience however was not satisfying at all. We felt like we had to be in a rush to finish each course and could not enjoy the meal properly. The ambience is very business like and definitely not for a romantic dinner. It was not cozy at all. Overall, it was not a good experience.

Unique experience! Amazing food
