Disfrutar

This place was amazing! We had the 30 course tasting menu and we sat for about 4 hrs! It felt like a dinner and a show. Food was amazing! I would recommend this to place to everyone but be sure to make reservations in advance (I think mine was 3 months in advance!) We were lucky enough that chef Eduard Xatruch was still there and took a photo with us!

After having been exposed to the top restaurants of the world from childhood, raised by extreme foodies, Disfrutar is in a class of its own.

This was hands down, the best meal I've ever had in my life. I do not say that lightly.

Every dish has you captivated in absolute astonishment, forcing you to question everything that you have ever considered food or a dining experience.
Unpretentious, absolute wonder in every bite, simply amazing.

Michelin star restaurant after Michelin star restaurant, Disfrutar is on a completely different level FAR above all the rest.

It's almost hard to write a review grand enough to properly honor the treasure that is this place.

Absolutely extraordinary, culinary genius. Thank you for bringing your art to this world. So grateful to have been there and hope to someday return.

The worst thing about a meal at Disfrutar is that the journey from the heavens back to the mortal world is a long way down. It is in a league of its own and other Michelin 3s and 2s feel like your run-of-the-mill neighborhood restaurants in comparison.

Playful, yet elegant, Disfrutar's creative artistry is evident from her very first dish, and she plays with your senses as well as your mind at every opportunity.

El bulli alums, Castro, Xatruch and Casanas are doing Ferran and Albert proud, and having recently dined at Enigma, which is another fantastic option in Barcelona, I can easily conclude that the prodigies have surpassed their masters.

No. 2 in the world on the Pellegrino list when we visited, Disfrutar will likely be no. 1 in 2024.

"Can we give Disfrutar a 6 out of 5 stars?" - my husband

We went to Disfrutar this past summer as it's been on my husband's bucket list for a while, and it did not disappoint. The courses were incredible, and it was an overall 10/10 experience from beginning to end. Truly unforgettable, and we would go back in a heartbeat.

Writing an update, after revisiting and re-confirming that this is my favorite dining experience in the world. Everything at Disfrutar seems to just match everything I look for in dining - the food is both delicious, as well as creative, presented beautifully, and fun to eat. The service is warm and staff are able to communicate perfectly in a number of languages. The sommelier provided wonderful recommendations and also explained the wine pairing so well, and this was the best pairing we experienced in 25 michelin stars on this trip. The chefs were there to shake hands upon arriving, and we found them outside after our meal where we thanked them again and again for the experience. The whole experience feels like such a steal compared to our tasting menus in the US, except this one is the current #2 restaurant in the world. I cannot recommend Disfrutar highly enough, and can't wait to return again to hopefully experience the living table. This is the restaurant that I compare all others to - this is the gold standard.

For this meal, we opted for the festival menu, and added some highlight courses from our past "classic" meal experience. Favorites included - the tomato polvoron, chinese bun, butter smoked bubbles and caviar, crunchy mushroom, egg yolk tempura, pork broth carbonara, golden egg, corn and foie. Loved the desserts - the waldorf salad with mustard ice cream was out of this world.

At some point, a meal completely transcends the words we would normally use to describe it. I don't know what to say, except that Disfrutar is innovative, shocking, theatrical -- but above all, DELICIOUS. I don't want to spoil any of the surprises by describing anything, but it was probably the best meal of my life.

The lunch service is the same as dinner, so don't miss the opportunity if an earlier table is available. The alcohol pairing (not just wine!) is definitely worth it, and we appreciated them letting us share it between two people.

Two tips:
1) Come starving; you won't regret it.
2) Nothing is as it appears.

We laughed, we (nearly) cried, we screamed at the audacity of a dessert centered around hoisin sauce. Truly one of the meals of a lifetime.

One of the most unforgettable meals I've had. I won't recount all the dishes we've had here, as there were plenty of reviews describing everything already. Disfrutar is now ranked #3 best restaurant in the world, and it well deserved it. If you have the chance to come here, do not hesitate, it will blow your mind. The technique behind every dish and the innovative ideas behind them were unmatched.

We had dinner at El Celler de Can Roca the night before. It was a masterpiece. So we were REALLY close to cancelling this dinner because we thought, what can top our experience from previous night?! I'm glad we decided to keep it. It was equally stunning, but a completely different culinary experience. Here's the analogy: if I think El Celler as a movie, it would be the best drama of all time, such as the Godfather, perfectly structured from beginning to end. On the other hand, Disfrutar would be the best comedy of all time (Home Alone anyone?), you'd be laughing from beginning to end and having the greatest FUN time of your life.

The most creative meal I have ever had! This is truly one of the most amazing food experience! I was only in Barcelona for three days, and I was lucky enough to get off of the waitlist for disfrutar. People usually need make reservation a year in advance. This two Michelin star restaurant offers a 28 course meal with either the classic option or a festive option that is for newer dishes. This restaurant is also ranked number 2 in the world. Absolutely love the whole entire experience, and it is definitely a memorable experience. The whole takes about 4 hours so make sure to leave enough time for the meal. It is very apparent from every dish how much thought goes into it. Every dish is just perfectly executed. Highly recommend everyone to try to snag a reservation if you can when visiting Barcelona! The staff is so professional and explains every dish in detail before serving. I also love how they showcase how some of the ingredients came about. Even though 4 hours is a long time for a meal, but trust me it does not feel like 4 hours with 28 dishes coming at you one after another. Very reasonably priced as well comparing to the two Michelin star restaurants in US. The ambiance is great as well. Before you start dining, they take you to see the kitchen and explain some design elements of the restaurant.

I don't think there are words to describe how incredible Disfrutar was. Start to finish bite after bite and sip after sip - unimaginable creativity and flavor. True art. One of the best things in Barcelona. Skip the Sagrada Familia and beg for a table, kidding, kind of.

Initially, 28 'courses' may seem like a daunting task for a 3 or 4 hour meal but when many of the courses seem to just explode then evaporate in your mouth leaving behind a multitude of flavors, well, 28 is quite do-able! And be prepared to smile, giggle and occasionally laugh out loud in surprise and delight. This is not dining but rather an elevated level of culinary art: an expression of what food and dining can and should be. This is Disfrutar!

Each course is prepared and presented to perfection. The staff seems to disappear and reappear magically for each course. And I strongly recommend the offered wine pairing menu to accompany the meal. Each wine is an absolutely perfect match to each course.

This is an extremely serious restaurant but with a great sense of humor. They want to see you smile, giggle and laugh with delight!

I've been to several 3 star restaurants throughout the world but Disfrutar is otherworldly.

I just left Disfrutar without eating but €300 poorer. I had eaten at Disfrutar last year and really loved it, so I made a reservation to go with my daughter who is a foodie and really excited about the fine dinning experience. I tailored my trip to Barcelona to accommodate our Disfrutar meal. We anticipated this day for many months. But today when we arrived to the restaurant our table was not in the main room overlooking the kitchen but in a dark, ugly hallway by the entrance. It really looked like a mid neighborhood joint, not at all the place that we expected and for which I was about to drop €700 for. I've always thought that it took Disfrutar this long to earn a third star because the local's entrance is not up to standard, and that's where we were going to be eating. The wait stuff told us that this was our only option since their dinning room was full. Then they tried to convince us that the space was actually better. That was kind of infuriating. We asked if they'll charge the penalty fee and they said they will. Frankly I think they shouldn't have, because what they were offering was so inferior we decided to leave rather than spend the whole meal feeling we were second class costumers.
So we are a cautionary tale: make sure to ask, when you make your reservation, to be seated in the main dinning room. A normal person would never expect to be seated in the horrible space by the entrance, but make sure to ask because if you don't you'll be missing out and paying the same price.
