"This restaurant, which occupies the premises of the now defunct Freixa Tradició and now featuring a designer interior, brings together the knowledge and dreams of three friends (hence the name MAE, which can be translated as ‘companion’ in the Costa Rican dialect): Mariella Rodríguez (Costa Rica, in charge of management) and chefs Diego Mondragón (Colombia) and Germán Espinosa (Spain). The whole proposal is built on a concept, Sincretismo, which according to the RAE (Royal Spanish Academy, the official institution responsible for overseeing the Spanish language) is the ‘combination of different theories, attitudes or opinions’. It is surprising to see that they combine products from very different origins, which leads us to see how Galician clams or the legendary tarta de Santiago work with, for example, Latin American chilli peppers and tepache. The menu is rounded out with two good tasting menus (MAE and Gran MAE), where we found a wonderful course called Pan (80-year-old sourdough, inherited from Freixa) and fantastic dishes, such as their molluscs, tomato and aji amarillo." - Michelin Inspector

As soon as I heard that the restaurant received a Michelin star last year, I was lucky enough to make a reservation, and it turned out to be an incredibly happy experience! The most impressive part for me was the dessert—especially the mint crumble—it was absolutely mind-blowing! I truly admire and love this place, and I can’t wait to visit again. I’m so excited to see what new, innovative dishes they’ll surprise us with next time!

Dining at Mae felt like a warm sense of harmony. The way the dishes were served together as a group was genuinely pleasant, and the connection between flavor, presentation, service and space left me completely satisfied.

We opted for Mae tasting menu which provedbto be more than enough. The start was very good but some of the later dishes (e.g. leeks and seabass) could easily be cut out from the menu. After the first bottle the restaurant discovered that they had run out of Corpinnat which seemed rather strange for a Michelin star place in Barcelona. It would be useful to leave a menu at at a table because the dishes tend to be fairly complicated and the waiters speak English with heavy accent (as is common other fine dining restaurants in Catalonia) which really can you leave confused sometimes what on Earth are you even eating.

We had a wonderful experience at Mae. We loved all the dishes,all was so tasty and creative.the atmosphere is one of the best we've seen. Starting with the decoration via music and the great service. And all was adapted to vegetarian menu!

Friendly and knowledgeable service perfectly matches the inventive and delicious tasting menu. The colours, shapes and textures all add to the flavours and are well matched by the wines. We had the large tasting menu because it seemed a shame not to! Everything on it was delicious. The portions are perfectly proportioned for such a long menu. Not sure I can see anyone leaving here hungry, quite the opposite!

A wonderful experience of food! There were so many unexpected flavor combinations that you wouldn't expect to work together.. but they did! The tasting menu was delightful and inspiring.. everything looked and tasted beautifully. The staff was attentive and very professional. However, we had a little bit of difficulty understanding one of the older servers, which is too bad because I'm sure his comments would make the experience at Mae even more memorable. Still, the food was divine,and I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! Also, I wanted to mention that we visited on a Thursday during dinner time.. we were the only patrons there for good 45 minutes until some other couple arrived. We truly felt as if the restaurant was opened just for the four of us ;)

I loved the tasting menu. Some very experimental pieces and some unique delights. All beautifully presented. It was seafood focused and very well paired with wines. The service was excellent, although I had a little trouble understanding one of the waiters as he described the food. The duck at the end seemed out of place for the meal, but the rest was incredible and a wonderful experience all around.
