6/10The place is lovely and the staff is really nice. But the food on the evening we went there was mostly bland and unexciting.

10/10They say cooking simple food in an excellent way is the hallmark of an excellent chef. Xavier Pellicer delivers. If you want fresh local healthy food, make Xavier Pellicer a requirement during your visit to Barcelona. The restaurant is beautiful, the service is excellent, and the food is the best we had in Barcelona.

10/10This restaurant is a revelation!! The tastes are exquisite and perfect, and the ingredients are locally sourced and bring to the fore the incredible flavours of the vegetables. The beautiful interior compliments the refined presentation of the tasting menu. Service is highly attentive yet casual and personal. Excellent English spoken by staff and menu. The evening before we had a rather disappointing meal in a seafood restaurant with one Michelin star - this place here was better by a factor of 10!

8/10I think I was expecting more. The tasting menu was great and we were surprised that a Michelin starred restaurant didn’t have a wine pairing (although sommelier did her best to give us 4 interesting wines throughout the meal). The food quality was good, but this seemed more like a Bib Gourmand than a 1 star. That said, I would go back again with lower expectations.

8.5/10Great food and excellent service. Atmosphere a bit flat for a Saturday night but otherwise couldn’t fault it

9/10All the dishes were interesting and technically very well executed. Gaspacho was genius, so were boletus and broccoli (even better without broccoli). The couple of not-so-tasty starters were at least original and worth the try. To my surprise they do have fish, chicken and meat on the menu, and the veal was excellent. The only minor problem overall - too much olive oil. Service was excellent, extensive but not overloading wine list, knowledgable sommelier, neat stylish interior. Worth a Michelin star, if only for trying. The Chef should smile more, he has an open kitchen.

10/10I have taken my business partner to different fancy restaurants in Barcelona. Xavier Pellicer had the highest score after our evaluation. We loved the part that we were able to interact with chefs and how dishes were carefully cooked. Definitely will go back again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

7.5/10Ambience and staff amazing, a great experience! Unfortunately two drawdowns: first, the vegan tasting menu was largely the omnivore menu “without” as in leaving out things. Ultimately, therefore the omnivore menu had a better arc and Crescendo - with the final dish being incredibly wonderful pork ribs - vs a rather bland carrot in the vegan menu. For the same price. With the restaurant’s focus on plant based food, this is quite unacceptable, it almost seemed like a parody. Secondly, the food was less flavorful and more overcooked than I would have liked. Maybe a matter of personal preference, but the produced had little own flavor and barely any texture anymore. Super tasty still, but not quite the celebration of plant based food that should be expected for two sols and the price. Overall, very well priced and with great and fair priced wine pairing.

7.5/10It was good but not great. Food was well plated but lacked the wow I was expecting. Servers were nice but it was busy and slow. (Not in a good way). I would give it another try perhaps ordering off of the other menu.

5.5/10Way too Pricey for the quality of the food. There a lot cheaper, better and less pretentious options out there.

10/10It was phenomenal! We were celebrating our friends birthday, the restaurant with just 1 day notice prepared us a special cake since some of us were gluten intolerant. We chose degustation menu and OMG it was worth it, got perfectly full and satisfied exactly with the last plate. Special thanks to sommelier and Xavier for making our dinner unforgettable.

5.5/10Overrated. Some dishes were too salty, some were totally bland. Over priced and meh ambiance. Desserts could use an overhaul. Staff was awesome, though!!

6/10Took the full veg 12 course menu. Most dishes were interesting but lacked any generosity, creativity and taste. Quantities are tiny and no bread offered. The service was just ok. You are served by 5 or 6 different persons. Difficult to avoid discontinuity in demands and care. No real sense of proximity. Explanations are short and factual.Again the lack of generosity transpires. In sum, i came out frustrated, hungry and disappointed.

10/10A superlative experience on every level: extraordinarily delicious food - fresh, seasonal, inventive and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is buzzy and fun, the staff are knowledgeable professional and service is superb. We will return whenever we are in Barcelona. Watching the master Xavier himself at work with his team whilst sitting up at the bar was undoubtedly the best seat in the house. We loved every minute of our evening.

8.5/10Very impressive. We had 1 vegan menu and 1 omnivore. The flavor of the vegetable is very well accomplished, very good seasoned and the textures were surprisingly good. The staff was very nice and in every detail. It was a great experience

4/10Our dinner was ok but was expecting something much more tasty as I ve been to vegetarian restaurants before and know that I could be much much more creative and tasty. Portions are small and plates are expensive. It’s ok but definitely would not return.

9.5/10The Maitre’d was initially unaware of my reservation, but the snafu was swiftly resolved with a front row centre view of the open kitchen - a delight for a solo diner treating herself to a birthday lunch. Everyone was attentive & friendly, & the food was beautifully plated and as delicious as always

5.5/10Xavier Pellicer was a disappointing experience as we were looking forward to flavorful vegetable plates designed for sharing. The dishes were underwhelming (we had the artichoke with poached eggs, tabouli, octopus, goat and vegetable tag one). The main dishes were sized as if in a tasting menu and overpriced for their flavor profile and size. In particular the vegetable ravine lacked any sophistication in flavor or preparation of vegetables. The artichoke with poached egg and octopus dishes were the highlight of the menu but the remainder of the dishes were lackluster (and would be at a restaurant that charged 1/3 of the price for the same dish).
