A'Barra

As someone that was expecting something incredible, it was alright, I mean putting caviar and truffle on everything doesn’t mean it automatically tastes better. We had the tasting menu, I felt like there was something lacking… oh yes, flavor, that’s it. You can tell it’s just a place where the super rich go to tell others they’ve been to a “Michelin star”, but the ingredients were so simple, I was expecting something more complex, using rare Spanish ingredients. Also they fill you up with a big bread with butter and olive oil since the dishes are extremely tiny. Other than that, service was good. I went for someone’s birthday, we had called earlier to confirm it was for a birthday and they completely forgot, only after we paid the check and reminded them, is when we got a little birthday surprise.

Great experience. We had the tasting menu with the “Senaorial” wine pairing, and enjoyed it fully. Food was delicious, wines very interesting and helped to get the most out of each plate, and service was top-notch.

Marvelous experience in a Michelin Star awarded TOP restaurant (should have a 2nd already. From the reservation call attended by Marta and the welcoming atvthe entrance, until the bill and goodbye, everything was super. The excellency by the service, the amazing food and the mix between tradition and modern cuisine, made A'Barra an brutal experience. The wine service by the sommelier was simply unique. Congrats team. Thanks A'Barra.

Beautifully simple relaxing ambiance but luxuries all the same. Unbelievably great attention and service. It was a magnificent first Michelin star experience. Very mindful of our dietary restrictions. Thank you for a unique experience. The bread was out of this world.

Ambience, service and food quality and taste was excellent. The portion is a little small, but the flavors are so rich that if I had more, I wouldn’t enjoy it as much. The only thing that I found shocking was when I ordered earl grey tea with my dessert, and they served me regular black tea. When I asked for the order to be rectified, the waitress that took my order came back to clarify what I had ordered. It was only then that I realized she didn’t understand what my tea order was and assumed it was black tea. She later clarified that they only had black or green tea. A little disappointed that a Michelin star restaurant didn’t have earl grey tea nor knew what it was. That said, everything else was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend this place.

My experience here was like eating a too ripe apple. It looks nice on the surface, but after a bite it leaves a sour and bitter taste. This is particularly true for A'Barra, especially being Michelin rated. Service was not prepared or organized. When we came in there were still fixing the lighting, making the "fine" dining experience not so fine. There would be 5 people waiting on our table but when we asked for someone only 1 person would show up, not because the others did not know English, but for some reason they were ordered to do so - it was weird and uncomfortable. They said we were given these complimentary starters but then get charged after. The waiter that misinterpreted our order in the beginning did not apologize and instead we got a new waiter and he ignored us the rest of the time. Food was inconsistent in presentation and taste. Those with better taste had poor presentation and vice versa. Nothing wowed me but I would choose the yolk dessert if anything. Overall not a fan.
