    The journey begins with the intriguing logo. Make no mistake, this is an exceptional experience from start to finish . Teo who runs the front of house is responsible for the impeccable service. There is a genuine desire to make your time here special. If you have some dietary issues, Teo takes care of them so responsibly that you feel so welcome and unimposing . Just amazing . Then there is the in-house sommelier who knows her stuff . Finally the gastronomic journey through all things Catalan. Each plate is exquisitely assembled by the chef who really understands food and local ingredients. Attention to detail, texture, taste, colour….just magic . The wine is also Catalan and honestly one of the best meals and experience I’ve had . See what you think . Book ahead as it does a fixed menu with specific timing . I really did not want to leave . A perfect marriage of food and supreme service by Teo!

    Love this neat (genial) restaurant. My favorite dishes are the croquette with fish cream, ham, and the fish with a resilient texture and a bit teeth-stickiness. I really appreciate the efforts that this restaurant did to make the most of local authentic ingredients, provide beautifully cooked and presented food with a price that can’t be more reasonable. Highly recommend here if you have a chance!

    Came here for our anniversary dinner and sat outside on the terrace. We had the set menu - 10 courses for 35€. Small bites however I left feeling satisfied What a great price! Everything was plated and presentation on point. The servers were very attentive and I definitely enjoyed my experience here.

    A great chance to have a tasting menu for 35 euros. The plates are not too big so you will try digferent things without getting too full. The service is excellent, the decoration is simple with a old touch. Is an interesting mix of concepts that is worth trying

    This restaurant serves a set menu of 10 different plates for 35€ based on Catalan cuisine and using fresh products only. The experience was amazing, we loved every single plate. And although one may think that it isn’t enough food, I can tell that you end up completely satisfied. Staff are super friendly and very attentive to all details. I recommend to book in advance as it gets fully booked easily mostly on the weekends. The menu changes from time to time so I can’t wait to go and try a different one.

    Amazing experience, we enjoyed it a lot. You should make a reservation in advance if you want to be sure you'll get a place. The dinner lasts 2 hours and then you go because a new round of people is coming :) The food was amazing, it was completely different than anything I had tried in Barcelona. The tasting menu had 10 dishes of which 4 are appetizers, 4 main dishes and 2 dessert dishes. This costs 40 euros per person. I would just suggest to improve a bit your explanation of dishes in English, there were times when we didn't really understand what we're eating. I will not upload all the pictures of the dishes, I believe it should be a surprise as it was for me. As far as I know they do change the menu, but not sure how often.

    The best meal I had in Barcelona and honestly probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Everything was so creative and delicious, and I loved the focus on local ingredients. The ambiance and service were excellent as well. If you’re in Barcelona please please go here! The tasting menu is 10 courses for only 40 euros, a great deal. I ate foods I don’t normally eat, everything was that good. My favorites out of the 10 courses I had were the cuttlefish ink and sausage croquette and the melting almond cake dessert (I forget what it was called), but honestly everything was fantastic!

    I have rarely experienced something so round and professional! 10(!!!)courses within 1,5 hrs: Perfect composition! Perfect timing! Perfect presentation!(Sorry my pictures are not that good…) Perfect taste! Really good and friendly and knowledgeable service! Nice choices for wine by glass! And all of this for a really fair money! Wow! Thank you! Definitely coming back!

    I was pleasantly surprised to find a testing menu with 13 dishes for 67€/person; that also were able to accommodate my partners diet. Teòric is a true Catalán restaurant with all of it's ingredients sourced from Catalunya. The winelist were all Catalán wines, categorized in regions, not in wine types as they usually are. The food was tasty, so tasty that I forgot to take pictures of most of the dishes. We felt that some of the dishes could have used more salt, but salt were available on the table for us to add if needed. We would also had hoped for a better explanation of some of the dishes. For example, there was the pasta with Christmas-broth, that a few days later, understood that it was a traditional Christmas dish for the region. The last dessert was quite unusual; a chocolate cake, with mushroom cream, fried artichoke and a sauce made out of a Ratafia. Not bad. The cherry on top was when they entered with a small extra dessert with a candle in it, as I had writen in the reservation that we were celebrating my birthday.

    This farm-to-table gem is a true culinary adventure. From the first glance of the beautiful logo, to each delicious bite, the restaurant showcases a commitment to locally sourced ingredients that is nothing short of extraordinary. The expertly crafted tasting menu takes you on a journey from the mountains to the sea. Don't miss the mountain rice and buey meatballs – they are simply irresistible. While prices are on the higher side, it's a must-visit for any special occasion. Ohhh they even adapted the menu for my gluten-free wife!

    Awesome Michelin star level food without all that fuss. Creative, fun, casual, super delicious, and value for money. Good service and fast plating for a 13 course dinner. Will come again!

  • 5/5 William Y. 6 months ago on Google
    This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants I've ever had the pleasure to eat at. The food is absolutely outstanding. It's a closed menu (i.e., you get what they give). But don't let that deter you. Every dish my wife and I had was incredible. The best way to describe this restaurant is Michelin Star in presentation, quality ingredients, and taste at LITTERALLY a quarter of the price. Dinner for two and a bottle of wine for £120. Do yourself a favor and eat at this one-of-a-kind restaurant.

    Can’t speak highly enough of this restaurant. Service, food and atmosphere were superb! I really took my time researching restaurants since my husband and I only had a few nights in Barcelona. I was a little skeptical of a €40 tasting menu since it’s unheard of in the U.S for this low of a price but it didn’t disappoint! A 10-course menu of this size and quality would have easily cost $150 per person back home. Not only was all the food delicious, it came with background from our server on how the majority of ingredients are typical for Catalan culture. We appreciated the history/info for each dish as well as the inventiveness of each course. We tried items that I normally wouldn’t have tried and there wasn’t a single thing I disliked! Finally, I have gluten intolerance and the staff were knowledgeable and able to adapt each course without sacrificing flavor. We will be back the next time we are in Barcelona!

    One of our best dinners! Delicious! And at a very reasonable price - EUR40 per person. It’s a fixed menu, the dishes just come and there’s no menu they provide. Wines available by the glass or bottle - great selection available. Very small location with limited seating so make sure to book.

    Our visit was from Oct 2019 but it was magical! Everything tasted so fresh, organic and flavourful. Absolutely recommend anytime you're in Barcelona!

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the best meal we had in Barcelona! Highly recommend as this was a delightful dinner experience. We booked a table for 7 to celebrate a friend’s birthday and the dishes did not disappoint. All of the courses were so fresh, locally sourced, and delicious. My favorites were the pork belly with squid tartare, peaches and tomatoes, and swordfish ceviche! The staff patiently explained all the dishes to us and it’s clear that they have a lot of passion for food. The desserts were also amazing, and I would highly recommend this place to everyone. Thinking of going back already!

    Pretty reasonable price for a tasting menu and still feels a bit like fine dining

  • 5/5 Paul B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and service at a very reasonable price.

  • 5/5 Jordan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing tasting menu! Extremely great value for the quality of food you will enjoy. Comfortable and casual setting with friendly service! Will definitely return.

  • 5/5 Nathan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Give up your control of the menu and come to this incredible restaurant. They will serve you things you’d never order yourself, and you’ll love it. The portions will be small, and you’ll leave perfectly content. You’ll come with a healthy bank account, and leave with one too because it is insanely affordable. The quality and craftsmanship that goes into each dish is truly impressive, and the friendly service will make you feel welcome and valued. Everything about the experience was exquisite, and I would recommend it to anyone that comes to Barcelona.
