    Whenever we are in Barcelona, which is at least once a year, we always try to eat at our favourite restaurant. Never disappoints, always surprising and well priced.

    Fantastic. Everything we were hoping for and more. Great location, it was a nice walk from where we were staying. It is a very intimate dining experience. There was only a lovely server and Mikel, the chef. You feel as if you're a guest at an exclusive dinner party. We put ourselves in their hands and were treated to an incredible series of tasting plates, each one presented by the chef. Every dish was expertly and artistically prepared, and best of all....delicious. I believe Mikel even designs some of his own serving dishes. The meal ended with an amazing dessert and some perfectly brewed coffee. When we left we felt we were leaving the home of a friend. Definitely recommend.

    Amazing! Come to a brilliant chef's 'quasi' home, be amazed at the decor and embark upon an exceptional dining journey. Meals are served by the chef and an attentive waiter addresses your vino needs. Small staff, amazing setting, homely remenicient experience with a superb gastronomic experience. Would definitely recommend.

    The positives are that the food is very delicious. Well balance, makes sense. I can see a lot of creativity not only in the food but also in the vessels where the food is served. I won’t lie there were some plates I like more than others. But in general the food is top quality. Where I can see some improvements are the service. Since is a intimate experience the server/chef could give a bit more background into the plate and concept. I guess lacks charisma. And the concept seems to be to dine served directly from the cook almost like if one is in their own dining room. Therefore the friendliness story telling misses a bit. Other than that I really enjoy our evening. Cozy interiors, I can see the chef reflected in them. I can see a lot of care and attention to detail.

    Chef Mikel is a true artist in every sense of the word. Each course was masterfully prepared and the quality of the ingredients really shines through. I'm just like blown away with how he pulls off cooking and serving. My wine glass never ran empty and the timing of each dish was impeccable. The vibe was cozy and tastefully decorated with both modern abstract art and folk art from around the world. We greatly enjoyed the music that played all night and seemed to match the intensity of each course. I could almost weep with joy as I happily digest right now. This was the cherry on top of my visit to Barcelona and I cannot recommend this spot enough. I feel privileged to have experienced such a mindfully crafted meal. I'll remember it forever.

    A gifted chef who does it all, from bringing your meal to your table, describing what it is your eating, pouring your wine, and humbling picking up your dish and silverware after each course. BUT ask before entering if the wifi is working (for credit card payment processing) before you sit down, otherwise your going to the ATM to get cash.

    This is a phenomenal restaurant unlike any other. Mikel Peinador greets you at the front door as if he were welcoming you into his home, which he sort of is. The restaurant, if you can even call it that, is an expression of his personal style and taste, including artwork by the chef himself. You feel comfortable and at ease in Tast-ller as Mr. Peinador calmly assembles dishes in an open kitchen with equipment you would find at home. Just one four burner cooktop and one oven. It is a revelation when you realize the chef is the only person there. He cooks food for just 8 guests per night, which is prepared with tremendous creativity, warmth, and care. But chef Peinador also clears your plates, pours your wine, and delivers each personally crafted dish. And he can also be seen loading a dishwasher in the back. It is clear that Mr. Peinador has a serious culinary background, and elements of his dishes have touches of modern cuisine (like the use foams). His artistic side also flourishes, with each dish presented on a unique and beautiful dish with special utensils to match. But none of this is fussy and there is a total lack of pretentiousness. Mr. Peinador just likes beautiful things and its fun to interact with his creativity. From speaking with the chef, he changes the menu frequently and it is always a surprise to the guests. He modifies certain elements daily, based on the availability and freshness of what he can find in the market in the morning. Our dishes included, as best as I can recall: White asparagus foam, with fruit jelly and olive oil Scallop, with Basque beans and a bread roll with butter and anchovie Calamari, with squid ink and coconut Sea Bass, with a traditional Basque sauce Meat Balls, with mushroom and potato cream Beef filet, with truffles Cheesecake, with smoked Basque cheese Chocolate mouse with toffee, salt and olive oil You get the feeling that chef Peinador is not only passionate about his food, but also invested in sharing it with you and making you happy. As if you were his invited guest. We enjoyed speaking to him and felt privileged to be there. I would hope to have another dinner like this in the future.

    Wonderful experience. Amazing tasting menu. All dishes were well elaborated. Service was very professional and the restaurant tastefully designed. I'll be back for sure.

  • 4/5 Guy E. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite an experience in this one man's show. Beautiful and cosy space offering Basque cuisine with creative touches. The price reflects the fact that you will be eating in a very intimate restaurant with few tables in direct contact with the cook. It feels a bit like eating at home with a friend who is a great cook.

    Unbelievably good food and incredibly an unique atmosphere. Mikel added so much to the experience and the ambiance was wonderfully eclectic.

    7 out of 5, incredible. Phenomenal tasting menu in a cosy and stylish atmosphere. Just a few lucky tables with the owner as a one man band providing a tasting menu he can be proud of. Great value for money and fantastic experience.

    Fantastic food, decor and even the dishes and utensils made this place an amazing all senses experience. My new favorite restaurant in Barcelona. Absolutely amazing price for a 10 course tasting menu! Someone needs to give him a michelin star.

    I am normally not into food but this place was beyond belief. I could not believe how truly amazing the food just magically changed my approach to eating. To be constantly surprised with each dish was amazing. The service was serial with surrounding of excellence. Thank you Mikel for making our stay in Barcelona unforgettable.

    Deceived by the 'welcome'! We all use face masks, obvoiusly! The signs you made through the window, to 'say' you would not receive us, could have been kindly replaced by a few words...

    Amazing experience! The food was art AND it tasted good.

  • 5/5 Rob T. 4 years ago on Google
    The ultimate diner experience, each time we come the chef has beats himself and the taste and flavours have improved. For us this place is worth the trip to Barcalona itself.
