We recently spent 18 days in Spain, and during our trip, we had the opportunity to dine at Disfrutar and DiverXO. Both were amazing!!! I was initially worried that since we dined at DiverXO before Distfrutar, that we might be disappointed with Disfrutar (DiverXO set the bar really high). Well… we were not disappointed. The food, and service were excellent. We dined with friends in Barcelona that we hadn’t seen in 13 years, so it worked to our advantage that we were not seated in the main dining room. It allowed for a more private dining experience. But others might prefer to be seated in the main dining room. After the meal, all four of us said that we couldn’t believe the meal took 3 hours and 45 minutes! Time just flew by because we were having such a good time, both with the food, and with the company. We highly recommend!

Disfrutar – A Masterclass in Playful Fine Dining
If you’re in Barcelona and want a meal that’s not just food but an experience, Disfrutar absolutely delivers. This is one of those rare restaurants where creativity, technique, and storytelling all collide –and somehow every bite still tastes incredible.
Disfrutar is known for avant-garde cuisine, but unlike some experimental places, every dish has soul. Expect surprises, whimsy, and a lot of “wow” moments. Highlights included:
* The famous panchino — an airy brioche with caviar that disappears in your mouth.
* The multi-spherical olive, a mind-bending reinvention of a classic.
* The cooked ceviche, which flips the idea of ceviche completely on its head.
* And of course, the “Disfrutar box” and the playful ending chocolates that make you feel like a kid again.
Every course feels like a magic trick you actually get to eat.
My favorite part is The Living Table at Disfrutar! THE most memorable parts of the meal. The table literally becomes part of the experience — drawers open, hidden compartments appear, and the chefs build dishes right in front of you. It feels like a playful culinary performance where the table turns into a stage. It’s interactive, surprising, and beautifully executed, perfectly capturing Disfrutar’s mix of creativity and incredible flavor.

Disfrutar was founded by three chefs from the legendary El Bulli, and its name — Disfrutar, “to enjoy” — perfectly captures its philosophy. Here, the experience goes far beyond flavour: it becomes an immersion into time, memory, and emotion.
In 2024, Disfrutar was awarded three Michelin stars and crowned The World’s Best Restaurant, quickly becoming one of the defining symbols of contemporary Spanish gastronomy.
I saved this place — the world’s No.1 — as the final stop of my Europe trip. And to be honest, while the concept and format are fascinating, the theatrics often outweighed the actual flavours for me personally.
Some dishes were genuinely delicious, but others leaned too heavily into showmanship at the expense of balance. Their caviar, in particular, consistently carried a strange brininess.
Take Pachino: the fried bread is crisp and airy, soft and slightly sweet inside — yet the overly fishy caviar disrupts the entire bite.
Similarly, Amaranth Coral opens with a pleasant seaweed aroma, but the saltiness and fishiness become overwhelming.
That said, Disfrutar also presents plenty of dishes that are both tasty and distinctive:
Mushroom Leaf
Crisp on the bite with the depth of a concentrated mushroom broth.
Macaroni alla Carbonara
A playful reinterpretation featuring transparent pasta. Salty, aromatic, and full of cheese, cream, and ham flavours.
The biggest surprise was Calçotada — sweet, crisp, almost like an elevated Spanish version of scallions with dipping sauce. The warm broth is savoury and comforting.
The dessert courses were the true highlight of the meal. Each dish carried its own charm, not only delicious but delightfully imaginative.
Cucumber
A refreshing sorbet that tastes like sugared cucumber, with a hint of ginger in the ice.
The Homemade Cider deserves special mention — intensely apple-forward, sweet and tangy.
Most unique of all was the Black Apple, showcasing apples preserved under vacuum at different stages. The flavour is gently acidic with a lingering sweetness, soft and delicate — a genuinely memorable experience.
Despite its imperfections, and although Disfrutar is not the kind of restaurant I would choose purely for flavour, its originality and ambition deserve real respect.
If you believe that dining is about more than just taste, Disfrutar offers an experience worth seeking out. It’s the kind of restaurant you may only visit once, yet continue to reflect on long after the meal ends.

It took us 2 years to get a reservation at this restaurant so we were definitely looking forward to the experience. I am happy to say that the experience met our high expectations. While the decor itself is somewhat minimalistic it was a treat to see the different work spaces/kitchens and get an explanation for each. The service was well coordinated and the staff had great attention to detail. Each of the 28 courses was creative and beautifully presented. We were very happy with the diversity of flavors and textures. Hopefully we will be able to get a reservation to return next year to try a different menu.

Disfrutar is not just a restaurant; it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience disguised as dinner.
I’ve eaten at Michelin-starred restaurants all over the world, and I seek out those places because you know you’re in for something special. But Disfrutar, the number one restaurant in the world in 2024, exists on another plane entirely. I felt genuinely lucky to get a reservation, and even luckier to share the evening with two colleagues. From the first bite to the last sip, this was beyond “fine dining” — it was a magical, culinary, almost scientific journey.
The tasting menu unfolded like a story. Each course was not only delicious, but conceptually brilliant — dishes that crumbled, then re-formed on the tongue, flavors that appeared in one form and then “exploded” into another, ingredients deconstructed and reimagined in ways that made us question what we were seeing and tasting. At moments it felt like theater — carefully choreographed presentations that had the precision and surprise of kabuki, but always in service of flavor, never gimmick for its own sake. Hours later, I can still remember how so many of those bites tasted and felt.
The wine pairing was equally daring. Our sommelier, Iván, guided us through a series of mostly Spanish wines I had never even heard of, each one with a story and a reason for being exactly where it was in the progression of the meal. The standout “wow” moment for me was a 10-year-old vodka smoked with truffles and served frozen — a completely mind-bending experience in the mouth that I will be thinking about for a very long time.
Service was flawless, but I have to mention Patricia, one of our waitresses, by name. She was genuinely one of the most delightful people I’ve ever encountered in a dining room. Her attentiveness, her warmth, and her ability to describe each dish with such clarity and heart elevated the entire evening. I asked for everything to be explained in Spanish so I could feel the full soul and nuance of what they were saying about the food, and she handled it beautifully. Her bright smile and calm presence anchored the experience.
I walked out of Disfrutar feeling that I hadn’t just eaten an extraordinary meal; I had been told a story — through texture, temperature, aroma, wine, and wonder. This is an evening I will never forget. If you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, cherish it.

Disappointing.
Had very high expectations but unfortunately the food didn’t deliver.
We choose the old menu, I’m not sure if it’s still there to that day.. Except 2 dishes that were excellent, the Yolk and the Bun with the caviar that was one of the best bites i had in my life, the rest was nothing special.
You feel so full half way down and it’s just too much food they have to reduce the number of courses.
The atmosphere is Cosy and very nice.
The level of service is Top notch can’t get better than that.

An expérience out of this world, we started almost 6 hours, had 23 plates and 14 drinks. This can be too much for a first 1+ star experience though. Special mention for the brioche with caviar. The service was perfect, can only recommend

We did the special Live table experience and it was amazing. The service could’ve been better though, no one really smiled or engaged with us much apart from the dish explanation, and the guy that was explaining the dishes had pretty bad pronunciation and we couldn’t understand most of what he said the dishes had. It’s one of those situations when they’re not speaking for you to hear what they’re saying, they just wanted to say it.
The live table experience’s appeal is that you have a private room with the chefs and waiters and the finale experience with the desers is from another world, really well done!

28-course lunch, and most of the courses were fun and delicious. It took 5 hours for our group to finish, which sounds comically long, but I was never bored and found the portion ultimately perfect.
Most service was excellent, but service for the wine pairing was infuriatingly frustrating. There wasn’t a single course where the sommelier told us how many courses the wine paired with, so for most of the wines, we would either finish the wine before some of its intended pairings came out, or still had not tried it when it was time to move on to the next wine. I asked the somm many times but he never told us up-front. One time I asked him and he walked away and shouted an answer with his back to me. Another time I got out of my seat to find him because he didn’t answer when I’d asked; another staff member asked if I needed help, so I let him know the question, and he gave me the wrong answer.
Per person costs: lunch 315 euros, wine pairing 170 euros, water was 4.10 euros per bottle, and a 10% charge was added to everything.
