"La Forquilla is definitely a restaurant with a difference given that owner-chef Vidal Gravalosa takes care of everything, including a huge amount of preparation before every sitting, impressive work in the kitchen, as well as service at the handful of tables. His cooking is centred around a tasting menu plus a creatively inspired à la carte featuring an array of seasonal recipes. Standout dishes include the Maresme peas with baby squid and Iberian pork jowl, and the crispy Segovian suckling pig served with its own sauce, parsnip purée and baby gem lettuce." - Michelin Inspector

Ordering the tasting menu with the wine pairing is a MUST. Food was served by the chef himself and each course was an absolute delight. He explained each meal in detail in Spanish for us (who wanted to practice) and had the patience to explain anything we didn't understand. My husband and I have been vacationing in southern Italy, Rome, and Barcelona for the past two weeks and this is the best food we have had. Additionally, the place was super clean with beautiful ambiance. The ingredients and wine the chef selected were of the upmost quality and flavor. All small batch, sustainable and ethically sourced ingredients and wines. An unforgettable two hour experience worth every moment and every dollar.

The best meal in Barcelona is definitely at la forquilla with Chef Vidal. The menu is well designed and balanced. If you go make sure to do a tasting menu with wine pairing. Each dish is better than the previous and wine pairing compliments its dish so well.

We had one of the best meals of our lives here! All of the dishes were innovative, beautiful and scrumptious! Easy to reach from all of Barcelona and well worth the visit. We've been fortunate to have traveled the world on business and pleasure staying in all major metro areas. La Forquilla produces delicate creative cuisine that is the best our cultures have to offer. Bravo!!

Stumbled upon this restaurant which was around the corner from our AirBnB. Consisted of an 8-course tasting menu (three were desserts). Every single course was a culinary surprise, with unusual combinations of ingredients. This was the best meal we had while in Barcelona. We were equally impressed when we returned two days later. The menu was the same, but because we had been there, he changed it just for us. I recommend this small, one-person restaurant to anyone wanting a stand-out meal. We are recommending it to any of our friends who plan to visit Barcelona.

I would give it 6 stars if I could. One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I visited in January 2014 with a friend while in Barcelona. I had found it through the great reviews on TripAdvisor. It did not disappoint. Reservations are a must. Its a very small but homey space. Only a half dozen tables. The chef Vidal is also the owner waiter and sommelier. Went with tasting menu. The whole table has to order but its divine. Each course better than the last. Highlights include sea bass, foie gras, chicken fingers, and many more. Each dish and presented and explained by Vidal. So much more personal than most high end restaurants. Worth every penny too. The tasting and one bottle of wine per person was about 120 a person. An experience you must take advantage of if you are in Barcelona. Deserving of a Michelin star!

Really fantastic find thanks to Yelp! Super small place with literally one employee. The chef, waiter and cashier. But the sea bass was the best I have ever had with artichokes and sauce. The Pork was fantastic as well. The dishes were the most beautiful we have ever seen yet tasted. The desserts were truly to die for.

Place: simple and clearly not at the level of the dish they serve! Such a shame! Product: food was very good, flavorful, balanced. Service: professional, could be warmer... Price: given the quality of the food served, I feel that it was cheap I paid about 47 euros for a starter, main course, desert, a glass of wine, a bottle of water and a herbal tea. Overall I had a delicious dinner and would have enjoyed it even more in a warmer setting.

Hola! I am not sure where to begin. Our experience was amazing from beginning to end; all around. The chef prepared our meal with such care that you could easily see the passion he has for what he does. It was really delicious. Small place. We happened to be the only one there for majority of the evening which was fine for us. It was like having a private chef. We are staying in the neighborhood and read that this was one of the top 10 places here. We now know why. Enjoy!!!!

Went here last night for dinner on our honeymoon. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing and I have to wholeheartedly agree with the other reviewers here -- one of the the best meals (if not the single best) we've EVER had! The food was incredible and the service was excellent. This is an absolute must in Barcelona! So glad we found this on Yelp.
