Cocina Hermanos Torres

"Torres twins Sergio and Javier made their names with Michelin-starred Dos Cielos restaurant at the Meliá Barcelona Sky Hotel. Riskier and more avant garde, Hermanos Torres is currently one of only four restaurants in Barcelona with three coveted Michelin stars. Playing with juxtaposition—from wildly contrasting textures and temperatures, to ultra-modern takes on Catalan “grandma” dishes, and unexpected flavor pairings. Top dishes include the smooth-as-butter squid tartare in chicken consommé topped with a generous dollop of caviar, and (when in season) the sweet, Catalan Maresme peas with Iberico ham that pop in your mouth like bubble wrap. Speaking of pairings, wine pairings at tasting menu restaurants don't always give you your money's worth. That is not the case here. Go for the splurge." - Isabelle Kliger, Gemma Askham

"Three MICHELIN Star restaurant offering a unique tasting menu based on seasonal produce." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Once over the threshold, a fascinating experience awaits at Cocina Hermanos Torres – one that transports guests to a world where time has stood still thanks to the magical setting and highly delicate Mediterranean cuisine that takes us away from our everyday day lives. The Torres twins (Sergio and Javier) dreamt of incorporating their culinary microcosmos into the heart of the dining room, transforming the culinary experience into a true spectacle, hence the three cooking stations that dominate the centre of the room, around which tables are arranged beneath romantic “clouds” of light. The cuisine here is centred on a superb tasting menu that invites guests on a gourmet journey extolling the very best seasonal and local ingredients, using them in such a way to extract maximum impact and flavour with a minimum of intervention. The menu features stunning dishes that will delight guests, such as the classic Sea and Mountains, eel pil-pil on a bed of Cristal piquillo peppers and black garlic, and the Iberian suckling pig with apricot and tamarind." - Michelin Inspector

"In the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, meanwhile, Cocina Hermanos Torres earns Three MICHELIN Stars for firing the imagination with every bite. Chefs Sergio and Javier Torres have created a magical space in which the gastronomic experience - which consistently seeks out the very best seasonal produce - exceeds foodies’ expectations, turning it into a dining extravaganza." - The MICHELIN Guide

"The big winners in the category of two stars in Spain are twins Sergio and Javier Torres's Cocina Hermanos Torres in Barcelona, where the cuisine is integrated into the culinary experience of the diners through a large open kitchen." - Abbe Baker
