Avenir Restaurant

Dining at Avenir is nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish that comes out of the kitchen is a work of art—creative, thoughtful, and bursting with flavor. The team clearly pours passion into every detail, and it shows from the very first bite. A special shout‑out to Chesco, whose wine knowledge is on another level. Just sit back and let him pair each course with the perfect glass. His selections elevate the entire meal, turning an already exceptional dinner into a truly unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a place where culinary creativity meets flawless service, Avenir is the restaurant you don’t want to miss. An absolute 5‑star gem.

We visited Avenir last weekend and chose the 19-course tasting menu for four people. Overall, the experience was okay but below our expectations. The service was polite but somewhat lacking in attentiveness — for example, during the last three dishes I ordered an additional bottle of water that never arrived. The restaurant wasn’t very full, so it felt more like something being forgotten than overwhelmed service. Regarding the food, while the dishes were clearly well thought out and technically ambitious, we all agreed that many plates felt overworked. The balance of flavors was often lost, with some elements overpowering others instead of creating harmony. As a group, we didn’t really connect with the menu, and unfortunately, it didn’t leave us wanting more. In summary, a fair experience at a reasonable price, but we expected better flavor balance and more consistent service.

This was hands down my best experience in Barcelona and I cannot recommend it enough. We had the lunch menu: 7 courses of pure joy and flavor. Every single dish was executed with precision and creativity, and each bite was a delight. The staff were lovely and the laid-back atmosphere made it all the more enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back!

Really good food, the staff is very nice and the atmosphere is light , and not overly fancy. One nitpick i have which is honestly a basic thing is tgat we were not asked if we want water. I have to still say , the value is incredible! If it was 60% more it still woulda worth it!

This is a tasting menu in the truest sense. Every dish was full of taste and surprising combinations. The menu was different compared to other restaurants. The staff was also very welcoming. They let us taste some wine samples before choosing a bottle we liked, were always very helpful and made us feel completely comfortable. If you are looking for a place unlike any other, this is the one to go to.

What an amazing experience! Somewhat unusual compared to other higher class restaurants, a ton of courses served at a very high frequency, with some of them intended to be eaten with your hands. My personal highlight was eating tuna straight of the bone with my hands, as if I was having ribs, truly a unique dish. There was nothing that completely blew my mind purely from its taste alone, so I can somewhat understand the lack of a Michelin Star, but my god the price they charge is so insanely low for 19(!) high quality courses that it's impossible to complain.

There was 4 of us. Booking is obligatory. Each took La barra del Avenir - menu consist of 15 plates. All plates was really tasty and interesting, each plate was well explained to us. Speak English and Castellano, Catalan. Exceptional service. Very decent wine selection under even 30 euros per bottle. Big thanks to the restaurant team.

Avenir Restaurant in Barcelona was an absolute highlight of my trip. As a solo traveler with a four-year-old, dining out at highly regarded restaurants can sometimes feel daunting—you never quite know how welcoming the staff (or fellow diners) will be toward a young child. But from the moment we arrived, the team at Avenir made us feel completely at home. (I should mention we attended during a quiet Wednesday lunchtime and chose out of the way seats, to respect the other diners). The staff's warmth and hospitality were outstanding. Sensing my daughter’s hungry crankiness, they immediately brought over some fresh bread, a small gesture that spoke volumes about their attentiveness. I opted for the eight-course tasting menu, which was incredibly well-priced for the quality and creativity on display. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour, showcasing the level of excellence that has earned them Michelin recognition. What stood out just as much as the food was the staff’s kindness. They took the time to carefully explain each course to me while also being genuinely accommodating to my lively little dining companion. The entire experience was seamless, relaxed, and welcoming—a rarity in fine dining when traveling with a child. I wholeheartedly recommend Avenir. It’s a place where both exquisite cuisine and exceptional hospitality come together to create a truly special experience. Thank you to the wonderful team for making our meal so memorable—I will definitely be back!
