    We dined at Santa Rita yesterday for a special occasion. The menu is very well thought through, every single dish was well balanced and tasty. We particularly enjoyed the friendliness of the staff who was always very attentive to our needs, while keeping the atmosphere easy and welcoming. Every dish is prepared and assembled in front of you and we enjoyed being part of this experience!

    A simply amazing experience. It must be said from the outset, this is NOT a Michelin star restaurant, it is better!!!!!!! From the outset, it was clear, this is a restaurant that focuses on flavour, innovation, creativity and freshness as its core values and this is reflected in every dish served. From home created dishes to family dishes re-invented for a modern audience. Each dish is served by the chef with a dish description and an exclusive wine pairing from the chef's friends vineyards. I am amazed this restaurant is not awash with awards. I would recommend the full menu experience with wine pairings and this is a must stop for any visitors to Barcelona looking for that something different but very special and a definite must for any local yet to try. I will be back again and cannot wait. The potato ravioli with truffle mayo and the foie gras stuffed roasted pepper are 2 dishes worthy of that extra special mention, truly inspirational cooking. Chef, Bravo!

    We have traveled and eaten all over the world. The Santa Rita Experience was the BEST culinary voyage to date. Each of the 7-course selections was intricate, delicate, playful, and full of flavor. This is a must-do experience for foodies. Bonus: the wine pairings were perfect and highly recommended.

    I am not a foodie, go to fine dinings on occasion, and usually ended up being skeptical, because they look fancy but don't taste good. Santa Rita was different. Every dish was really delicious, the course was well organized, didn't have to be an expert to know it. It's been more than two weeks but we still talk about this place, it was that good. Would love to visit again.

    I had the opportunity to go there with my colleagues in a company event, where we closed the restaurant for the team lunch. The place is cozy, feels like a home kitchen, and the dishes are really creative and sophisticated. Y the chefs menu can make you stay for some 3 hours eating and having a good time without notice. Congrats to the chef and the staff

    Would give it 6 out of 5 stars if I could! Best food place I have ever been to. Must visit in Barcelona. Staff were amazing and friendly and the wine tasting was absolutely delicious!

    We returned to Santa Rita Experience with friends from Australia. They were all blown away by the flavors of the different dishes. I took photos of all the dishes and I shall try to upload them. The dishes were a delight for the taste buds as well as for the eyes.

    Really an amazing experience. I went with my boyfriend for our birthdays. The food was very very good and you can tell it's made with a lot of passion. The concept is super cool with the kitchen in the middle of the room, you really feel a part of it. And you get to talk to the chef and he explains to you personally each dish. I'd suggest the wine pairing option too. I'd go back again one day!

    This was a wonderful dining experience!! The chef prepared all the plates in front of us and explained the local ingredients. My favorites were chicken pate in a roasted red pepper made from chefs mothers recipe and grill calamari with squid ink filling and crispy rice. Both were heavenly! My Spanish is terrible but chef and his assistant were very welcoming and helpful in explaining to me in English. It is a unique experience and would definitely recommend!!

    What a fun and unique experience! Loved being able to watch chef prepare and plate the food in front of us. Portions were a great size and timed perfectly. Went Nov 2023 and want to come back again. They rotate their menu each season so 4 times a year. You can go stand by chef and watch him and sous chef work together in such harmony. We shared one wine pairing for 30 extra euros and it was definitely worth it.

    Been there on New Year’s Eve and had a great night. We loved to watch the chef preparing the food. The team is very kind and greeted us warmly. Quality of food very good, classic ingredients are prepared into outstanding dishes. Highly recommend for a very special experience!

    An absolute must if you are in Barcelona. Takes place in a very authentic setting, and feels like you are eating in someone’s home. The chef Xabi and his staff are super passionate and proud of what they do. Amazing experience end to end.

  • 4/5 Marc L. 5 years ago on Google
    The chef, Xabi Bonilla, just moved his personal experience eating -literally- at his home to a similar approach with some more people (15 max) but keeping the home made Michelin star style. It is a closed space where everyone starts at the same time to facilitate the logistics. Menu is closest and it is composed of multiple small and superb bocados and two sublime desserts. Probably must go for the innovation and execution of such good food. You better book as there are only 15 seats. Illustration:set menu for 70€, all included except wine Labels: #$$$$, #2Eat, #design, #fashion, #mustgo

    Great food and nice people! You could watch the preparation and communicate with the hosts. They make you feel like home while enjoying sophisticated food:) Thank you!!

    I’ve never experienced such an authentic and private evening in such a big metropole, like Barcelona. The quality of the food is amazing and the chef is a really detailed and a kind person and has a lovely crew that supports him. Felt totally comfortable and enjoyed the food and the evening.

    Private chef experience in the center of Barcelona . Every dish was a journey of flavors. You can take the 6 or 8 dish journey. Xavi the chef explains every dish. Everything as amazing !
