i like the service and ambience. for food, i feel a bit asian fusion. they should be able to reach 1 star very soon. suggestion for improvement: i think they can bring some baskets for bag storage under the table or next to the seats.

Personnell was amazing making our night memorable. We took the longer menu but needed to cut it shorter in the end. Excellent food but a bit too much for us. We wish all the succes for this restaurant.

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!

Everything about our visit to Saó was great. The food and wine were excellent and the service elevated an already great experience.

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.
