Experimental tasting menus with theatrical, interactive dining
"At this Three-Starred Barcelona restaurant led by Eduard Xatruch, Oriol Castro, and Mateu Casañas, the dish El Miedo (“the fear”) was pure theater: a smoky box arrived and I was invited to reach in blindly through the cold vapor, finding a perfectly cooked Palamós prawn, then finishing it with a spoonful of intense chicken-and-prawn cream. Unsettling at first but brilliant, it proved a clever play on sensation, perception, and taste." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Among the most recent Three-Star additions, it reaffirmed top status by maintaining excellence down to the finest detail, with menus that continue to define the trajectory of today's haute cuisine." - The MICHELIN Guide
"As a recent entrant to the Three MICHELIN Star constellation, this restaurant has reconfirmed top status with exacting excellence and menus that help define modern haute cuisine." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Opened in December 2014 by Eduard Xatruch, Mateu Casañas, and Oriol Castro, this Barcelona restaurant—award-winning and holder of three Michelin stars as of 2024—offers around 20-course tasting menus (classic or seasonal) priced at roughly €290 ($315). The El Bulli–trained chefs celebrate molecular gastronomy with surprising textures and whimsical plating served in an atmosphere described as lively and never too stuffy." - Hillary Dixler Canavan
"I noted Disfrutar in Spain has often appeared in the top 10 but has not yet secured the No. 1 ranking." - Eater Staff
