SENSATO Restaurant

Sensato is hands-down one of the top restaurants I’ve ever been to and I’ve tried a lot as a longtime F&B enthusiast. My husband booked it for my birthday, and from start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience. With only seven seats, it’s incredibly exclusive and tough to book, but 100% worth your while if you get the chance. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and perfectly sequenced like a story told through flavor. The chef is quirky, unintentionally hilarious, and incredibly talented. His slightly awkward charm just makes the whole experience feel even more special. If you’re lucky enough to dine here, expect exceptional food, creativity, and a whole lot of heart. A true hidden gem.

Amazing experience you’ll have to try! Sato prepared dishes right I front of you in an intimate 6 seat restaurant. The quality of the food was great as well as the presentation! If you’re a fan of authentic tasting sushi as you’d find in Japan I highly recommend the experience. After the full menu had concluded we both had enough to eat.

From a tucked away and quiet neighborhood in Barcelona, SENSATO delivers an experience that is nothing short of phenomenal. Top-tier, hand-picked fresh ingredients, prepared with care and an artisan’s hand. Chef Sato is a true master of his craft and can stand toe to toe with the best of the sushi chefs of the world. If you’re a sushi lover, you cannot miss this place. Remember to make your reservation through WhatsApp ahead of time because it only seats 6 and they WILL fill up.

We made a reservation via WhatsApp way before our visit and was able to secure a time slot. The inside is small so there is not a lot of seating available. We arrived 30 min late due to a severe thunderstorm and if it was in NY our reservation would have been canceled by the owner was very accommodating. All the pieces were delicious and you could see how much thought and care the chef puts into each piece. The flavors are simple yet refined, nothing fancy just quality ingredients that are paired well with each other. My favorites were the o-toro, shrimp with shrimp brain and toasted shrimp shell salt, mini mackerel hand roll, and miso soup. This was an amazing meal and reasonably priced. It is a small husband and wife shop and the service was seamless. If I visit Barcelona again I would definitely come back!

Excellent meal. There were 15+ courses, but I'll highlight a particular dish: nigiri with red prawn, topped with its tomalley, torched. The white powder on top that looks like salt is actually the prawn shells that have been dried and ground.

What a wonderful experience! Small restaurant that’s serves 7 people max. Pure magic! Ingredients of the great quality. Each dish is beautiful and perfect in its own way. Booking is a must (first Monday of each month) - we will be back, for sure.

Vale la pena una visita! Updated on December 2024. The menu is 95 euros. There were 12 sushi and other small dishes. They are all tasty. It sits 6 people, so the atmosphere is very exclusive. From this month, online reservation just started. You will need to deposit 50 euros. So, make sure you go there! 💕

Sato is undoubtedly a top tier chef and it would not be far fetched to go as far as to call him the Sushi god of Barcelona. After departing the already renowned 'Sato I Tanaka' he now single handedly presents his own masterpiece 'omakase' experience, a flavor explosion course only using the best ingredients and everything served in front of you to perfection, incredible from start to finish. The exclusivity comes because there are only seats for 6 people maximum at a given time, either for the lunch or dinner time courses. Therefore it might take a few tries to get a reservation. ごちそうさまでした。
