Deliranto

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the serving staff and kitchen. It was a uniquely good experience and we would certainly recommend it.

unbelievable experience, second time my wife and I have ate hear and this time was even better than the first. The chef was out front for the major part of the meal, bringing our wine and explaining in great detail where they were from and the importance they brought to the dish, it was like having our own personal celebrity chef waiting on us . We have ate in quite a few places like this but this has to be up there with the best . Highly recommended

Salou isn't the most obvious location for a Michelin-starred restaurant, particularly one as eccentric as Deliranto turned out to be. So, when we were booking our recent holiday to the Catalan resort and discovered that this restaurant existed we were delighted to be able to book a visit. In these Covid-infested times we had no idea how the experience would turn out. We need not have worried. Upon our arrival it was clear that some things were a little bit different because of Covid. Our first stop was the hand sanitiser station for example. Though we didn't have to wear masks, all the serving staff did, and the tables were very well spaced out to allow social distancing. These were all small prices to pay however for the experience that awaited us. Menus at Deliranto are based around a story, and during our visit it was the fable of Orpheus, and how he, Neo and Trinity freed humanity from The Matr....oh, sorry, Orpheus. Anyway, the whole menu was based around this theme, including some of the utensils (plates just doesn't do them justice) on which the various courses are served on. There were two menus to choose from, of which we opted for the long. It's hard to say exactly how many courses this actually contained because there was so much food it all became a blur. There were also a choice of two wine flights, of which we plumped for the smaller, which contained five glasses. This differed from wine flights I've had before in a couple of ways: Firstly, if you finished your glass the waiter topped it up for you. Secondly, we were given the choice between red and white wines on a couple of occasions. Each of the wines were delicious, many of them local and with the aperitif before our meal and the sake served with one of the courses there was plenty enough to be going along with! So, on to the food. There was a lot of food. It was very good food, ranging from good to great to exceptional. Starting with olives which weren't olives but were actually ricotta and jalapeno and tomato and balsamic spheres respectively. Ending with a refreshing lychee dessert and taking in all manners of wonders in between. A book containing delicious soups. A treasure chest of the most perfect squid I've ever tasted. A cube of curried lamb. A 'carbonara' with ribbons of daikon instead of pasta. Wagyu beef with a coffee sphere served on a boat with a mini souffle. A quenelle of beef tartare designed to be split in two and made into DIY beef wellington and steak tartare. A cube of lamb with curry sauce. A dessert of rose and pistachio. On and on it went. I could barely manage the last slab of 'fish of the day' and forwent an after dinner coffee as I didn't think I could manage the petit fours. They served us them anyway. With the menu being in Spanish and Google Translate being of limited use (what, exactly is 'Pig and Pig of Pig?) it was often hard to know how far we'd actually got. Service was excellent throughout. Our main waitress and sommelier both did a fantastic job explaining the food, wines and stories, in spite of the language barrier and wearing muffling face masks. At one point everyone ate the same dish, accompanied by a speech from one of the waiters and playing of the Can Can, which is from the Offenbach opera of Orpheus. Bonkers. This wasn't just a meal, it was a story, a performance. It wasn't a cheap one but it was certainly memorable and I'd urge anyone who likes fine dining and is in Salou to give it a whirl. You won't regret it and you'll never, ever forget it.

For my birthday, I had the pleasure of dining at Deliranto. This wasn't my first Michelin-starred restaurant, but it was undoubtedly the best. The food was exceptional, but what truly set Deliranto apart was the immersive experience. Every small detail was meticulously thought through, making each moment memorable. From the artistic presentation to the story-driven tasting menu, immense care and creativity were evident in every aspect. Deliranto isn’t just a meal—it’s a journey of culinary excellence and sensory delight

Exceptional experience! Our first Michelin starred restaurant, and what a journey!! Everything from the food to the staff was awesome. The quality of the food is, obviously, pretty up. But the kindness of the waiter/waitress is above everything I have ever seen. Not too present, not too distant, just what you need to have a comfortable experience without having someone behind your back everytime you pick your fork. We had the regular menu (130€), not the extended (160€), and we were more than full at the end of it lol. We had 13 or 15 dishes, on a 2h30 time-line. Add to that the 5 wines' glasses (55€) according to the food coming. You definitely pay for what you get, and you get A LOT! 😄 A huge thank you to all the team, chef and everyone there working in this restaurant. Bravo 👏

We decided to visit a Michelin star restaurant for the first time in our lives, so we booked seats for 3 people in Deliranto restaurant. It turned out we were the only customers in the restaurant that night. We decided for a 26 course menu, accompanied with a bottle of red and white wine, priced 38€ a bottle. Our whole dinner lasted for about 3 hours. Unfortunately, the service at the restaurant did not live up to the expectation at all. The waiters didn't speak English, and the stories and tales accompanying the courses were not presented at all. On top of that, our check was done for 4 people/guests (150€ per person, 600€ in total), although there were only 3 of us (should've been 450€ in total). The red wine was marked as 110€ on the check, although we picked a wine with the cost of 38€ - we were brought a wine that was 3 times more expensive than we had asked for. The amendment was made to the check regarding the number of people, it was changed from 4 people (total of 600€) to 3 people (total of 450€), but when asking about the wine, they just shrugged and told us they understood us differently. All in all, although the food was good, it was a rather disappointing and unsatisfactory first time experience in a Michelin star restaurant.

Excellent expirience. Very nice to hear a story (Alice's adventures in Wonderland) while you enjoy the dishes. We will repeat.

Amazing meal and the kitchen walk through was something different to experience.
