Waiter rushed us. Wine not very good. Stingy with the water. Wouldn’t go back.

Lots of delicious dishes on offer (cauliflower, red cabbage… mmmm), kind waiter, quick service, including a small portion of soup of the day to taste. Choice of music the evening we were there was a bit too loud / led zeppelin like or so but after asking to reduce volume, the style became a bit more appropriate too.

The food was tasty and service good as usually but the prices has increased a lot, specially the vegan options. Food was good but too pricey for what it is. To bad.

The restaurant would be amazing if it weren't for the following elements: 1. The ambience could be romantic, the whole cave idea of the story, but it comes off as a restaurant that nobody bothered to arrange. 2. The food was half good, half bad. We had the vegan menu. The dessert was the only thing flawless. The rice with beetroot was horrible. The cauliflower had a heavy sauce (I love tahini so it is not that I am not used to it. This one was just giving you the need to puke). The gazpacho was ok, nothing special just like the padron. the aubergine with miso sauce was excellent. The pan con tomato is normal. They gave us figs with brie for free which was tasty. There was another plate though, which just like the curry was unedible. It was black, unappealing and tasted awful. 3. The waiters were in a big hurry to take the plates when we still had in them. I felt rushed on a Friday evening despite having a reservation. When I needed something they were not there. I do not recommend it. Big hype for nothing. There are a lot more places in Barcelona that are way better

The best aubergine we have ever eaten! We loved our visit to sesamo and we will definitely visit again when we visit Barcelona again. The tasting menu blew us away!

A charming restaurant with outstanding food. Great vibe and the staff were very welcoming. The chef’s specials were excellent and the mango, coconut chia seed desert was yummy!!

We had the vegan tasting menu, which included a glass of wine. It was absolutely delicious, each dish coming thick and fast after the last one.. My favourite was small tissues red cabbage flowers, and the best sour dough bread I've ever had in Spain. It was a lovely atmosphere of welcome, unhurried yet vibrant, and excellent service.

Used to be great value for money some years ago, now overpriced AF. We ordered the tasting menu and were quite disappointed. The single dishes didnt fit together, it was a weird mix of spanish tapas, indian and italian food. The quality of the dishes varied between ok and slightly below average. Service, interior, and music used to be charming, now totally bland.

The food was so flavourful and nicely presented. The server was chatty and explained what the food was. I am hard pressed to remember another restaurant where I enjoyed the food as much as I did here
