Aürt

This is my favourite fine dining restaurant in Barcelona. Everything they do is impeccable. It’s a myth that because they serve you small portions that you don’t get full. Often at these places you even each too much because it’s a few bites of 20 dishes. Here, it was perfect. We left feeling perfectly satisfied. Each dish had purpose and a new perspective. I like how at Aürt the food is so unexpected but made without too much complication. They invite you to explore ingredients, textures, and aesthetics with each dish. And the wine pairing was a spectacular way to enhance the experience. The service was immaculate–smooth, calm, and swift. Everyone was kind and personable. We actually were compensated for the whole menu and wine pairing because they had to move our reservation. It’s crazy amazing how they kept their promise even if in the end they didn’t actually end up rescheduling us. Now THAT is good service. I’m so impressed. We were the only 2 people that night because everyone else had rescheduled and even then they operated the restaurant like any other day without lessening anything from the experience. This place shows how much value can be created from dedication to their client, their staff, and to the craft of gastronomy.

Exceptional dining experience and team. The attention to detail was above and beyond in every aspect of our meal. Thank you for your hospitality, teaching us about Catalan wines, and pushing us to try innovative food with an emphasis on eliminating waste. 10/10 recommend, look forward to coming back to the new location in the future!

Had an exceptional dining experience at a hidden gem nestled in a hotel lobby in Barcelona. Despite the odd dining location (in the lobby bar area), the outstanding service and overall experience exceeded expectations. The tasting menu, featuring 20 meticulously crafted courses, left me in awe as each dish was explained in intricate detail and all very tasty (none was a miss!!!). The paired wines added another layer to the culinary journey, making it a delightful and educational experience. Awarded a well-deserved 1 Michelin star. Reflecting on this gastronomic adventure, I can confidently say that it stands as one of the best fine dining experiences I’ve had. Should my travels bring me back to Barcelona, revisiting this culinary haven would be a top priority—an unmistakable testament to its allure and the indelible mark it left on my palate and overall dining repertoire. 👩‍🍳🤤🇪🇸

An exceptional dining experience sampling a sequence of outstanding small dishes made of local and exotic ingredients but grown in Catalonia and not imported paired with a selection of local wines ,every dish is explained by the chef preparing this in front of you. .culinary creativity and techniques paired with sublime aesthetics was applied on every single dish . An experience not to be missed while in Barcelona

We had a really good experience yesterday, we liked the unique food, the closeness and talks with the chefs and the attention from all the restaurant staff.

This restaurant is siuated within the Hilton hotel, it is a nicely decorated restaurant however, the adjacent bar area initially was a little distracting in the first instance. However as soon as I was seated and the chefs began their culinary performance, my surroundings faded away, and I was immersed by the theatrics. The restaurant features approximately five distinct stations, each manned by skilled personal chefs dedicated to preparing your meal. This orchestrated experience is heavily centered around the theatrics of the culinary process, complemented by the opportunity to indulge in multiple courses from the taster menu. The menu showcased a variety of small, meticulously crafted dishes. Despite their size, these offerings collectively satisfied the palate, leaving me content by the meal's conclusion. Enhancing the experience, we opted for wine pairings, which further elevated our enjoyment of the evening. Undoubtedly, the Aurt restaurant provided an exceptional and enjoyable encounter in the vibrant city of Barcelona.

What a great fine dining experience. Special focus on local Catalan food and wines. With a very special sustainability approach which we liked a lot! Special thanks to Marc for translating and explaining all to us in English. We really enjoyed our Catalan fine dining experience at AÜRT!!!!

Aürt was my first ever Michelin star, 20 course restaurant experience - I wish I could give them ten stars! There was so much variety in the dishes and the flavors were explosive. Service was also perfectly paced and everyone was so kind and welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys amazing food experiences!

I happened to be staying at the hotel and was surprised to find a Michelin rated restaurant downstairs. The food was good. It's a tasting menu that leaned more on the seafood side. The dishes were a reasonable size and were prepared in front of you. There are three community style tables with high top chairs around it. There is a chef assigned to the table and assembles each dish in front of you and explains what it is. Some of the dishes were really good and others ok. It all depends on your tastes. Overall, this food was good and reasonably priced for the effort that goes into each dish. The ambience is a modern restaurant for sure and very clean. The service was great and very attentive. They wanted to make sure you had a good experience. I would recommend the restaurant to anyone who likes seafood and wants to try dishes with local ingredients.

What an experience! The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and above all, creative. They dishes they create right in front of you are equal pets art, and equal parts delicious. Although portions are small for each dish, the ~12 dish course will leave you full by the end, and each dish is meant to have each bite savored.

I'm sad and a bit conflicted with having to write a non-five-star review for Aürt. Firstly, I felt like the whole experience was rushed. When I found out I was going to Barcelona for a business trip, I made a reservation at Aürt but was only able to get the 8:30 seating (maybe they only have 8:30 seatings?) so I thought maybe the servers were ready to go home by then. Being a two-hour+ service, it is a long process and we were pushed through all twenty servings. I know that sounds long but I've been to far less servings for longer and it didn't seem rushed. We ordered a mocktail and neither of us liked them - they sat, full on the table the entire service and no one asked anything about them. I've never been to a chef's tasting and not liked a dish and there were several that were just unappetizing during our meal and we were not the only ones to comment as much. WIth the seating being as if we were at a teppanyaki table, it wasn't hard to overhear when others liked or disliked dishes. When I didn't finish a plate, the servers were almost rude in aggressively asking if I didn't like it. Maybe it's not a common occurrence to not finish. The entire service could be summed up as "soft" as there was not much texture to any of the dishes. For our big dinner in Barcelona, we left feeling really disappointed.

This was the most wonderful dining experience have ever had in my life! The servers were absolutely wonderful, the food was indescribable fabulous and the atmosphere was unmatched! Save your money and go!!!!! It was an experience unmatched!!!!! You feel as if you were their only patrons and you were more important than anyone else there! You will never forget having been there!

"Sometimes you go to a nice restaurant, they put the check in a little book. What is this? 'The story of the bill?' " - Jerry Seinfeld I love Barcelona, 3rd time here and it gets better each time. When you are ready to pamper yourself & palate differently from tapas, enter AÜRT. da Scene: Long day @ Puro Beach Club and we don't want to stray to far from the Hilton Diagonal Mar, so I check the Yelp! reviews on AÜRT & Mai, nuttin! The tasting menu seemed interesting, so on a whim booked 9pm reservations. The girls are excited to get dolled up for the evening. We learn later, they are led by a Michelin star chef, whose team gave us a memorable experience. The hotel lobby restuarant space is split into two, AÜRT is on the left with 3 elegant & cosmopolitan, performance/community tables, seating 8 each with prep/cooking stations in the middle. Along the back wall and in plain view are more prep & major cooking stations, which are meticulously kept. da Grub: An escalating presentation of subtle, seemingly simple ingredients each coaxed to their apex potential, through technique and varied combinations. They pay homage to Barcelona with a prawn salmorejo, savory flan and 2 Iberian pork tastes throughout using spins on ancient and modern techniques and sauces, 15 tastes all told. There were a few merging Japanese influences of red tuna & bonito. I mentioned the Bday girl has been enjoying natural wine of late, they obliged with a fantastic pairing of 5 to match the plates. da Service: Impeccable: Staff were timely, informed, friendly, an understated in a way to let you enjoy your moments. Chefs prepared all savory tastes within full view, typically finished or plated directly in front of us, inches away, providing a very intimate and emotional experience. We felt as if the whole crew were there just for us. Add to this a signed menu from the team as a memento of Carla's Bday, plus we even found a Klay Thompson fan amongst the chefs... Go Warriors!

Amazing food and drinks. The atmosphere is elegant and the service is 5 star. This is located in the Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona. They have seating both inside and outside. We got the Cod fritters and Roasted chicken croquettes.

Went on a Michelin binge in Barcelona given the amazing exchange rate and up until we had Aurt, we had been somewhat disappointed by the city's offerings. This is the only restaurant we tried that 1) didn't serve foam with every dish 2) actually felt original and new 3) food tasted just as good as it looked. If they can keep up the consistency I just don't see how they don't give these guys more stars.

Came here for our early Xmas lunch. Each item served was outstanding. Service was good. They were able to accommodate food allergies without any issues.
