The atmosphere was amazing!

Chef Rodrigo's current tasting menu was fantastic. A nice mix of favorites like the beet appetizer and new dishes like the amazing carrot risotto with the sweetness perfectly balanced with the olive paste. The squash broccoli soup was another flavor packed highlight. Thanks to the team that was serving me as no trip through Barcelona is complete without a dinner at Virens, which is one of my favorite restaurants in the world as a vegetarian. If I had one small improvement suggestion it would be with the fantastic cocktail menu, give a guy 10-15 minutes to savor his opening cocktail before launching into the dinner-wine pairing. Overall a delightful experience on my annual work trip to Barcelona.

The food was good, small portions as you would expect in a place like this. We had 3 starters, 2 main dishes and 2 desserts and we were still a bit hungry after 😐 the place is really nice but sadly the staff didn’t meet our expectations.

+3Creative and delicious food, warm and friendly service, luxurious and classy atmosphere and setting. Overall a wonderful dining experience. We ordered the tasting menu, one vegetarian and the other "from land and sea" (with fish). The chef is know for making creative gastronomic vegetarian dishes, so all the veggy courses were very tasty. Wine list is not huge, but features some interesting local whites and reds. Definitely give this restaurant a try if you are in town. You won't regret the experience.

One of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona as a vegetarian. I stopped in after an annual conference I attend and the carrot risotto paired with a Tempranillo and the strawberry desert with “challenging” but tasty ice creams were the standouts this year/season. The wine pairing was excellent and the service was really great. My servers all did a fantastic job on explaining wines, regions and grapes, etc. and I have a nice list to see if I can find now that I’m home.

Great ambience, suited well for a nice Christmas family dinner. The Gastrobotanica tasting menu we chose had creative and tasteful appetizers, and warm salad but the main course Risotto was average and desert was too creative for us, especially with the overpowering of onion and celery in the gelato. Service was fine but we felt we were upsold on a bread for 24 euro that is unnecessary, especially if you already chose the tasting menu. The waiter could have been more thoughtful about that before giving the idea and implying that appetizers could take time and bread may be a good idea (the appetizers course arrived before the bread was served). There was also too much of wait after the main course with no one attending to our table. Made it good for a nice Christmas family dinner, but the food and service, for the price we paid, did not make it compelling to make this a must-do next time.
