âme barcelona

Short review: 12/10. Long review: âme is the type of restaurant I seek to find, but rarely discover. At around 100 euros for 10 plates, it's already a great value in the fine dining space, but Chef Pachi and his team cultivate a wonderful experience for your taste buds, but also through curiosity and connection when desired. Pachi and his team are careful to adjust for each party, giving more space to others who want to speak amongst themselves, and engaging more with others like our party who wanted to learn more. Throughout our meal, we would regularly talk about the food, the restaurant and many things in between. The staff complimented each other wonderfully, never feeling stuff or inauthentic, and guided us through our menu and wine pairing with enthusiasm. We eventually learned that Chef Pachi is a scientist, and his interest is clearly reflected in his menu. Every dish felt as though it combined it's ingredients to become more than the sum of its parts, and presentation was balanced or even put aside to ensure this was true. Superfluous dots of oil or edible garnishes were not the priority here. Our highlights: red prawn crepe, maitake, pyrenean trout The space is small and cozy, and you could easily speak without worrying about other parties. Though I may be biased due to my love of small restaurants that put their heart into their work, I believe it is undeniable that âme is not a special experience. As their name states, they do not provide their experience without putting their soul into it; just as I will not visit Barcelona in the future without putting âme on my itinerary.

Excellent tasting menu. Our favorite dishes were the trout, the consomé, the tartare, the salsifis, and both desserts. The trout and the strawberry/champagne dishes were especially mind-blowing. Chef Pachi and the team provided warm and welcoming service. Pachi was very personable himself and we had a joy getting to know his story. The atmosphere is also very intimate. Having had eaten at other Michelins across the world, for 98 euros pp, this is by far the best dining experience for value we've ever had. We highly recommend.

Incredible. Better than any multi star meal I’ve had. If you’re in Barcelona, do not miss this place. If I lived in Barcelona I would be a regular. Just fantastic, and Pachi is an incredible host. For a full review, search “Ame Barcelona - R/finedining” in google. Thank you chef!

Our dinner at âme was perfect. Like many of the reviewers, my husband and I are very fortunate to have dined at several famous/michelin-starred restaurants (Barcelona alone - disfrutar, cocina hermanos Torres and Lasarte are on that list) and âme gifted us with an unforgettable dining experience that simply topped these other restaurants (of those three, I’d say disfrutar comes close to âme!). The trout dish is the best fish dish we’ve tried (and my husband confidently says his favorite dish he’s EVER tried) and each and every dish was perfectly executed with love. The consommé was also the best I’ve tried (I’m a true Korean who loves her soup/broth!) and honestly everything on their menu hit the spot (we tried the menu epicure). We are so happy that we were able to dine at âme during our honeymoon, and will be back as soon as we are able to! Thank you again, Chef Pachi and team :)

Absolutely delicious meal and very accommodating of my severe food allergies. Our favorite dish was the local trout- it was mind blowing! Henrique and Pachi especially were extremely inviting, knowledgeable, and friendly. If you’re visiting or local to Barcelona, you should definitely visit Âme!

Run, don’t walk! We had an incredible tasting menu at âme. Every single course was flawless and unique. The atmosphere is intimate with only 12 seats served every night. Lovely wine selection and the server provided excellent recommendations. Would return in a heartbeat!

âme is the best dinner my wife and I have ever had. We’ve eaten at Michelin star restaurants from California to Mallorca, and this was the best meal we’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. On top of the quality of food, the price is unbelievably reasonable. We both agreed it deserves at least one, if not two, Michelin stars in the upcoming guide.

The best experience at a restaurant in my life, I don't like fish or sea-food, but...this was out of this world, it was amazing!!! The dish size are flawless to experience each flavor without tiring, the order of each dish/flavors is like a music scale, in all a harmony that leaves you completely satisfied. All this with a beatiful wine list, excelent recomendations (coming from Argentina we like strong red wines), supereb staff attention. You taste the passion they put in this place, the Walter White/Heisenberg of the chefs. With Sagrada Familia this is now my MUST in Barcelona.
