Quirat

Interesting but disappointing experience at a Michelin 1 star restaurant. Had the 18K menu on 3May, definitely an over-rated Michelin 1 star restaurant, most of the dishes were quite salty but still acceptable overall, however the most disappointing thing is the service that we experienced especially at a Michelin 1 star restaurant, there was one dish that I got served on the table was like curling bowl crashing the other dish that was already put on the table, and end up the other dish made the cutlery fell apart, no intention for the staff to help rearranging the dish/cutlery and she just ran away. In addition, we would like to sit a bit longer after to chat a bit after eating, however we got the bill immediately after dinner but we never requested it, interesting experience as I never experienced the same even at a unrated restaurant.

A solid Michelin one star. Great, attentive service. (E.g., we both dropped our napkins, and they insisted on replacing.) Modern twist on classic Catalan fare. Generous and inexpensive wine pairing. We had the 24k menu and were stuffed.

Fantastic food and even better service. I had the “24K” menu, which is their long tasting menu and it took about 3 hours. It was worth it though as I was served one amazing dish after another, including a dish with duck breast that is the best duck I’ve ever had. I also opted for a four-glass wine pairing in which I started with sparkling, moved to white, then a red, and finally a sweet dessert wine.

We booked the 24k tasting menu for dinner. It did not disappoint - the flavours, combination of foods you wouldn't expect and the homage to Catalan cuisine was incredible. Exquisitely prepared and presented, each dish was as good as the next. We also appreciated the excellent service from the whole team, polite and friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed the meal. The recommended wine was also amazing. The ambience is not as cosy as other similar restaurants due to the hotel setting but the food and service make up for this and the restaurant decor is beautiful. Highly recommend trying Quirat, you won't be disappointed.

Albert, Irene, Mariano, and Julie did a wonderful job of making my dining experience special as a solo diner. They also were able to accommodate my gluten free diet without any issues. I really enjoyed the food and hospitality! Very creative and delicious dishes.

My dining experience at Quirat, nestled within the Intercontinental Barcelona and boasting a Michelin star, was a journey of culinary excellence. Opting for the smaller menu, dubbed 18k, each dish was a revelation, thoughtfully prepared, and locally sourced, showcasing the best of the region’s produce. The wine pairing elevated the meal further, with selections that complemented each course perfectly. The staff at Quirat deserves special mention for their professionalism and warmth, striking a fine balance that enhanced our dining experience. Their knowledge and passion were apparent, contributing to the superb service that accompanied the meal. However, the ambiance / atmosphere of Quirat didn’t quite match the high standard set by its cuisine and service. The setting, reminiscent of a hotel breakfast room or a standard hotel restaurant, lacked the unique and authentic touch I anticipated. This resulted in a somewhat cold atmosphere, which was also reflected in the table presentation. Despite the delectable food and exceptional service, the overall dining environment left something to be desired. In conclusion, while Quirat shines brightly in terms of culinary prowess and service, a reimagining of its ambiance and presentation could transform it into a perfect dining destination. For those willing to look beyond the decor, Quirat offers an unforgettable gastronomic experience.

A limited experience in every way. Cold design in a hotel lobby sets the tone for a fairly corporate feeling restaurant. Two tasting menu choices offer a short and longer experience that rambles through Catalonia. Food is tasty but no real standout dishes. Portions fairly small and even after 10 courses you feel hungry. We ordered the large menu but when we arrived at 21:00 (early for Barcelona) we were told that it was no longer available. The short menu was fine and honestly a better value. The €70 euro additional charge for the longer one made little sense. Still, would have been nice to have the option. Dishes tended to get flavor from sauces and not from ingredients. Lobster was over sauced and cloying. Lam B sweetbreads and caviar at end was weird and unsatisfactory. Crab tartlet was the best and unfortunately the first dish. Desserts just ok. Room is ice cold with marble tables and cheap hotel chairs. The place feels like a hotel breakfast room and not a fine dining restaurant. Wine list is short but has plenty of decent options at reasonable prices. Service solid but spotty. Needs some serious attention to detail.

Phenomenal dining experience. I had the 24k menu with wine pairing and it was exquisite. The service was top notch and every bite was perfection. Michelin star well deserved.
