Moments

A truly memorable experience! The service at Moments was absolutely outstanding. We felt a genuine personal connection. The timing was perfect, the staff was warm and attentive, and everything felt soulful and sincere. The food was good, but the wow factor was missing a little bit. What truly elevated the evening was the service and the overall experience. There were two set menu options, both including meat. Since I only eat halal, they had no problem adapting the entire menu just for me. I really appreciated the flexibility and care. The menu shown in the second-to-last photo is the one I was served. Highly recommended!

Moments Fine dinning with flair and heart, this is what Moments was all about when we dined there when staying at the Mandarine Oriental Hotel in Barcelona. When we got there, were immediately greeted by our names and shown our seats. The overall decor is chic, sophisticated yet comfortable. The servers are like a team and work cohesively together. They are genuine and introduce themselves and menu is about. We chose to do the $130 tasting menu along with the Classic Wine paring . Every dish was prepared and presented with such artistry with the right amount of flavors. Since the menu is seasonal, the photos we are sharing is a better example of how dishes. We did add the cheese course with the tasting, which was a very generous amount of cheese, so not sure if you need to do it for all in your table as one tray honestly could be shared. If you want to have a wonderful time, learn about the preparation of dishes and get inspired, Moments is a must.

Our dinner experience at Moments was amazing. The service in particular was very impressive and notable. The synchronized service from the timed pouring of water to bringing dishes and taking them away was very much noticed and set the tone for the entire evening. All the fine details from our waiters (particularly Emmanuelle) was impressive. Also, very much appreciate taking the time to bring our family to the kitchen. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Dining at this restaurant was truly an unforgettable experience. With its rich history and dedication to culinary perfection, it’s no wonder this establishment has stood the test of time. Every dish that graced our table was a masterpiece, meticulously prepared and bursting with flavors that spoke volumes of the chef’s artistry and the crew’s commitment to excellence. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed into an atmosphere that seamlessly blends sophistication with warmth. The staff’s attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine hospitality enhanced the entire dining experience, making us feel valued and at home. Each dish was a testament to the chef’s hard work, creativity, and passion for fine dining. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the presentation was exquisite, and the ingredients were of the highest quality. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every single dish leaves a lasting impression, but here, it was nothing short of remarkable. To the restaurant crew and the chef—thank you for your dedication and for delivering a dining experience that exceeded all expectations. Your hard work and passion have created a place that not only serves exceptional food but also leaves diners with memories to cherish. This is a restaurant that truly deserves all the accolades and praise. I feel privileged to have experienced it and will eagerly recommend it to anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure. A heartfelt compliment to the entire team—keep up the phenomenal work!

My partner and I love a good food experience… this was definitely that! Top of the line service, each course was lovely with delicious wine options and clearly the entire team is passionate about what they do. Would highly recommend - only consider coming on an empty stomach, we were so full by the time we left! Ps. The pea dish in the photos was my Favorite!

We had the 10 course tasting menu - food was very good, though there was a bit of a stretch with some of the names and themes. A couple of stand outs were the sea bass, the corn soup and the chilli ice cream. We didn't take the wine pairing, which I regret, as I think would have elevated the experience. My 4 star on service was that we had to ask a few times for water, wine etc refilling - the staff would put a few ml in the glass at a time (on a few occasions, less than a mouth full) but be constantly having to replenish - it's really not "posh" to only allow 1cm of wine in the glass at a time. They also hovered at the table and twice tried to take my plate, when I had only paused for a moment and there was still half the serving on the plate. Back off and leave people to enjoy their meal!

I’ve dined at restaurants holding a total of 9 Michelin stars (2 in South Korea, 2 in Spain) and Moments was my favorite experience of all! As a strict vegan, fine dining can be hit or miss but at Moments they were so thoughtful in every aspect and every course. They really delivered! We did the 14 course option and the biggest surprise was seeing seitan on the menu. That was amazing, as was everything else! My husband is an omnivore and agrees that the flavors were on point. Service was impeccable. Pacing was correct. At the end, we were given little bottles of the best olive oil as souvenirs. We’re coming back to Barcelona next year on a cruise - I wish Moments was open on the weekdays for lunch so we could make another visit!!

Services and atmosphere are Michelin 2-star level, but the food didn’t meet the bar. It was supposed to be “an experience”. But we already wanted to leave at the half way cuz the food wasn’t what we expected for 2-stars. Services are excellent and I hope they got paid good enough. Atmosphere wise, it’s inside Mandarin Oriental, so it meets the standard. The menu we had was “the 15 years anniversary”
