It was a real good moment, some plates amazed us , others were unsettling but whole of them were very interesting. I can only recommend. To top it of staff was real professional: you didn't feel them but always present when necessary. Atmosphere was also very good

The great food and the beautiful local wine list would have been the main reason for the 5 stars if the service wasn't so amazing. Personal, knowledgeable, attentive, so nice.

We had the Germinat tasting menu. High standard on all dishes. Accompanied by a variety of delicate Spanish wines. The service was excellent. Explaining all dishes in fluent english!

This place is almost Michelin-star worthy, but not really. Food was generally quite good, but two of the seven courses were disappointing: they lacked flavour and could probably improve simply by adding a pinch of salt. The place is understaffed and service suffers from it. Just one more waiter would make a big difference.

We enjoyed Sao BCN very much. Our only complaint was that they sat us at a table directly outside of the kitchen which was a distraction because the wait staff was coming and going all evening. The restaurant itself wasn’t very crowded so it was a bit odd that we were given that table.

Great food, very balanced, order of the dishes was very good. We got a smaller tasting menu and we were very full at the end of the meal. The cucumber and apple predessert was the best. Incredible wine paring, mostly Spanish wines, most of them from Catalonia. Only thing that can be corrected are decorations and general vibe of the place was a little bit from 30 years ago but not in a good way.

Absolutely incredible experience. Impeccable service and food. Blown away. Their lunch offer is unbeatable in both price and quality. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable. We felt very welcome. A real highlight of our trip to Barcelona.

A very good value for our money, with attentive service, a quiet atmosphere, and a lovely selection of bites, starters, and a taste for meat and fish, and desserts. Far from downtown, yet worth the time to get there.

The lunch we had in this restaurant was one of the best of the last years! The taste, the presentation and the complexity of every dish almost shocked us with high intensity and truly balanced recipes. As soon as we can we'll come back! Best ratio quality/price!

We spent 2 weeks travelling all across Portugal and Spain eating at many Michelin star restaurants and Saó BCN was our favorite food of all of them, on par with some of our favorite restaurants from the top 50 restaurants across the globe. We had the "Arrels" tasting menu and wine pairing. We were stunned immediately by just the first few dishes and the remainder of the menu continued to delight; every dish was beautifully crafted flavor and texture combinations, presented without the pretentiousness we found at some other places that will remain nameless! The most incredible thing perhaps is the price, I would happily have paid 4 or 5 times as much for such a quality tasting menu and pairing, perhaps the ambience and service dont match what you find at a similar world class restaurant, but again at such a price point you cannot have any complaints. I cannot recommend this chef highly enough! A must visit for any food lover.

The food was pretty good. The server however, seemed frenetic, rushing around the room and then speeding through the explanation of each course, making it difficult to know what we were eating. She also didn't seem to have a working knowledge of the wine list. The atmosphere in general was not what we expected, with very sparse and unattractive furniture and decor. We decided it looked like a hotel breakfast restaurant. At the end of our meal, we requested our check. She acknowledged us, then just disappeared. We waited another 25 minutes or so before finally getting the attention of another server who brought our check. And strangely, included in the box with the check was a printed out menu in English of each course and their ingredients. It would have been great to have this with the meal, instead of at the end. I'm not sure the purpose of that. We were having trouble getting an Uber to come to the restaurant and asked someone at the desk if they would call a taxi. They declined to do so, saying they didn't have anyone to call. Overall, a fairly disappointing experience.
