    Have never been a big fan of FUSION food but this place sure has opened by eyes to what fusion is when done right. A combination of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine, I expected the 2 customers to go well with each other but they sure do at Pakta. Dining room is modern and sleek with mainly consist of bar seats where u can watch the Chef do their magic. Service is excellent, attentive , friendly and knowledgeable. The tasting menu very innovative, Each dish that came was well explained and presented. Each dish was well executed and flavorful, with a balance of clean and bold flavors. Presentation is beautiful and well thought of. Wine and sake list on offer is well curated and decently priced. Cocktail menu is also very interesting and innovative. Definitely a must try if your looking for something interesting and innovative in Barcelona.

    One of the most interesting tasting menus I've experienced. Very friendly and helpful staff and an excellent somellier (you should just let her choose everything for you).

    A modern fusion of Peruvian and Japanese. It’s an experience. Enjoyed the whole tasting menu and was a marathon full of surprises. Despite many dishes they are served very fast and always explained very well. And also a great cocktail menu as well. It’s worth coming here hungry and for a special occasion. And understand that it’s high price for a quality culinary experience - but worth it!

    Quality food experience and date night. We had the 22 course and it didn't disappoint. By far the best drink selection of any meal

    This experience was absolutely amazing! There were four of us for dinner and we all loved it. When I booked it was only for 3 people. They were happy to add another person to our booking even though their place itself on the night was totally booked. The staff were exceptional. I think most people can say that when the staff are attentive and polite, but in this case it was the little things that stood out. Before each course our server would explain what was being served, the reasoning behind it and also in certain cases what order to eat certain components. With four of us dining we had two staff which would serve each course at EXACTLY the same time. I'm talking about the plates being put on the table synchronously by the servers. We're not major wine snobs, but we do like a nice glass. The sommelier was fantastic in guiding us to a wine that would suite all the courses we were having whilst keeping in with our particular tastes of a drier white As far as the food goes.... The presentation and execution of each dish was out of this world.... From the initial cherry juice refresher served in an ice globe to the crazy green tea sponge and kakigori for dessert. We were offered the option of having an extra course halfway through the meal, but the degustation menu was enough to have all four of us content. The taste of the food, the presentation and variety was absolutely amazing. All of the staff there need to be recognised, as they all help to make the experience. If you get a chance to book here then you're a lucky person. I would definitely come here again... Fantastic.

    Sublime restaurant which you would expect from a Michelin starred place but especially I liked also the ambience and the friendliness and non pretentiousness of the staff (which unfortunately i cannot say about many Michelin places)

    Beautiful stylish restaurant with highly professional staff! Food is truly amazing. Testing menu is a 120€ However! It worth every single cent!

    I’ve eaten at Pakta 5-6 times. Always and pleasure. This trip was marred slightly as the new “manager” would not order us a taxi, instead insisted on pointing us towards a tax stand (where we waited 30 mins to no avails). We went back to Pakta again, requested again for them to order us taxis. I live in London my colleague in Vancouver, both much busier cites than Barcelona, but this new “Manager” insisted it was impossible to order us a taxi. A Michelin stat restaurant without a car service to shuttle its guests. Embarrassing. I feel the Adrian’s are finally scrapping the bottom of the barrel if this is the best they can do. A shame. Fish is still good. Service severely lacking.

  • 5/5 L 4 years ago on Google
    Get ready for a 20-course Michelin rated experience! It's a fusion of Japanese & Spanish influences that I highly recommend. Also, make sure to save room for the extra courses, it comes with a special gift at the end of the meal.

  • 5/5 Nadia T. 4 years ago on Google
    If you arrive hungry but not starving and open to adventure, this experience is well worth the investment. You must really love seafood, quite a lot, and then it will be beyond expectations.

    Awesome food and service but what else would you expect from a restaurant run by Albert Adria? If you can afford it, go. Money well spent.

  • 4/5 cloud 4. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was impeccable and very attentive. For the price(menu plus wine 200€ per person) I found it a bit lackluster. I enjoyed the experience and presentation, just felt for the price it did not deliver.

  • 5/5 Jordi R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Japanese Mediterranean fusion cuisine. Interesting bet at a high price, but that has to be tested. The dish with truffle is the one I liked least. The spectacular presentation, although you could be more creative in the dishes. The right and select treatment. To improve .... At the end of the night, second shift, it was cold in the place. The dishes that can be added are excessively expensive. (Original) Gastronomía de fusión mediterránea japonesa. Apuesta interesante a un precio elevado, pero que se tiene que probar. El plato con trufa es el que menos menos me gustó. La presentación espectacular, aunque se podría ser más creativo en la vajilla. El trato adecuado y selecto. A mejorar.... Al final de la noche, segundo turno, hacia frío en el local. Los platos que se pueden añadir son excesivamente caros.

    Exquisite a la carte dinner in front of the chefs. Everything meticulously put together. Must try the fish, pair with this white wine and finish with their delish desserts.

    Expensive place! if its good then it will all worth it but unfortunately Ferran Adrià have presents another ripped off restaurant, how did he get Michelin star I wonder !! a few dishes are good but not wonderful ! the dessert is disappointed also .. I do like the idea and I really try to like it , but until the 4 dishes , I know this place is a black hole of fun. if this is not Michelin restaurant then I might give them a better rating but since it got a star my expectation are higher , and I do not think they truly deserve it. I wonder why most starred restaurant are lack of flavor ?

    Unfortunately, we did not have our expected experience at PAKTA. We started off with two glasses of excellent cava. Later on, we asked for the set wine menu. Usually, good restaurants offer a half wine menu as well, at PAKTA the would only serve a full wine menu… We just ordered a bottle and kicked off with the food menu. The first four dishes were excellent. Amazing flavors and a nice variety. But from the fifth dish, it started to decline. The dishes just got a bit worse. The omelet for example really didn’t taste well, a bit sallow. There was another dish where you basically just tasted chili, the balance was completely gone. When we arrived at the 10th dish, they asked us to scale up the food for another 38 euros each. Like: ‘if you really want to eat well, buy this upgrade’. The next dishes were not as good as expected. I’ve had more surprising dishes at the local Japanese sushi bar… Another thing was that the waiters just dropped the food on the table, and took of. You had to call them back if you wanted to ask something. For the last dishes, we ordered the saki. While pouring it in the glass we noticed there was fungus in the saki. They just swapped the glass and left the bottle on the table. While pouring the second glass we noticed there was still fungus in it. But only then they replaced the bottle. We still had to pay for it. All with all we had one of the worst fine dining experiences so far. Unfriendly staff, below average food and rotten saki. If you want to pay a lot of money for a bad experience, this is the place to go.

    (Translated by Google) An original and fun bet. Betting on flavors and risky dishes but very well prepared. The proposal to liven up the dishes with a pairing of Sake and wines is wonderful. The team, the attention and the rigor in the treatment of 10. Highly recommended. (Original) Una apuesta original y divertida. Apostando por sabores y platos arriesgados pero muy bien elaborados. La propuesta de amenizar los platos con un maridaje de Sake y vinos es maravillosa. El equipo, la atención y la rigurosidad en el trato de 10. Muy recomendable.
