Let me preface this by saying we’ve been fortunate to dine at some of the best restaurants in the world: 2- and 3-Michelin star establishments in New York, Edinburgh, Paris, Quebec City, and beyond. With that context, I can say without hesitation: our experience at Áme absolutely blew us away.
From the very beginning, Pachi - co-owner, chef, and our server for the evening, set the tone. His passion for food was undeniable, and the way he shared the inspiration of each dish was capitvating. After tasting just a few plates, I turned to my partner and said, “this feels like chemistry, everything is so balanced.” Moments later, Pachi revealed that he had in fact studied chemistry, and it shows, his mastery of flavor harmony is remarkable.
The dishes were not only delicious but also deeply thoughtful, a seamless blend of creativity and precision. Already mentioned in the Michelin Guide, it’s only a matter of time before Áme earns its stars.
We loved every part of the evening, from the food and wine, to the storytelling, and I only wish I had taken more photos. But honestly, each time a dish arrived, I couldn’t resist diving right in.
An unforgettable experience, and I’ll be booking another trip to Barcelona just to come here in the near future.
