If I could describe this experience in one word it would be PRETENTIOUS. Also, I would describe this as mediocre microwave food. We tried almost everything in the evening menu and almost all cocktails and did not care for ANYTHING!! I’m only giving 2 stars because the restaurant is very beautiful , presentation of food is ok and the service was decent. We had to tell our server we’re going to leave early and not to submit the last item to the chef to prepare as we did not have any hope that it would be any good considering how sad the other stuff was . I cannot believe this is supposed to be Michelin star food . They served us lunch meat !!!! Come on . Just no. The only thing I truly enjoyed as the oysters. I hope they start doing a different concept as this one is AWFUL. I was truly prepared to spend $600 on a wonderful experience, but after a couple hundred spent on things that dint taste good , it was enough for me to decide if would never come back unless they would do things like they used to . This concept is not appetizing

A fun food filled experience. No longer a tasting menu type of experience but a choose your own adventure. The host will help you along the way in case your don’t know what you want. Overall the food was delicious and some of the pairings were interesting. Monica was our caretaker in this food adventure and she was great at explaining everything.

I would echo the other reviewer who describes it as 'airport food'. Maybe Albert had covid & lost his sense of taste? I was really excited & looking forward to this meal. Came for lunch, but I would suggest coming only for the evening offering which looks more casual & fun. Service was awkwardly formal. They didnt explain the concept, the food quantities, what to order, how much to order etc. Basically everything is very small 'snack' style & then you have the option of 2 live food bars to visit. It's all style over substance & tastes a bit bland if im honest. The sommelier however was probably the saving grace (top marks to her). If Albert wants to bring any of his fallen empire back I would have suggested Bodega 1900.

The New World of Molecular Cooking, Creativity Beyond Food Menu Experiencing Enigma on my trip to Barcelona in November I think it was the best taste experience of my life. In fact, everyone came in exhausted from Italy with their luggage and passports stolen It was Barcelona, and the experience on this day was special and unique. I wasn't feeling very well that day, The chef's consideration and explanation were very comforting. Thank you.

I made the mistake of going against some Of reviews that mentioned that this place does not worth it. I am foodie and I have been to many restaurants worldwide. I have experienced gastronomic food but this one has no relation to gastronomy. It is basically a mixture of different items and sauces that has no relation to each other. If the outcome was even acceptable I would have understood if the outcome was good. Unfortunately it is poorly executed and the food has no taste whatsoever. There was no single dish that was even acceptable. Serious do not waste your time or money here. Service is good and decor and ambiance is weird.

Wonderful gastronomic experience. We visited on day one of their new menu reopening, and they were so accommodating to our vegan needs. The staff are exceptional and every dish not only looked amazing but also packed a powerful punch of flavours. Definitely visit if you are in Barcelona and want a first class dining experience

Shockingly expensive for what you get. It's a cool experience to be sure. Unique decor. Our server encouraged us to let her choose for us. We hoped this would mean we'd get a "greatest hits", but 9 out of 10 small dishes were pretty underwhelming. My wife and I had just one glass of wine each, and at the end we both guessed it was going to cost just over 200 EUR and it turned out to cost 326 EUR!

Amazing experience at enigma. Every part is clearly tought of and a great emphasis on the ingredients. Highlights for me included the pista tofu, the foie gras cured in anchovy salt, the lobster cooked perfectly and the cockles. Overall an amazing experience and with wine prices not over the top it is a good place to enjoy great cuisine .arrive on time because the experience takes time and you dont want to delay .

Come hungry and request for a customised menu!!! We prolly had about 20 + dishes for savouries and ended with 2 desserts. Super fun and creative overall, the vegan burrata was mind blowing. There were too many to recall but I think you can peek at their ala carte menu and have some idea. Service and ambience was nice as well. I think I’ll come back whenever I’m in BCN again. Prolly one of the top experiences for me. Highly recommend!!

I'm lucky to have eaten in some of the world's best restaurants, and this meal was one of the best. Wonderful service, a beautiful room, the food was fantastic, and although over 20 dishes it was just the right amount.......I wasn't bursting at the seams like other similar experiences.

I love this place, I love the atmosphere, the incredibly friendly staff, and the amazing food. Spherified olive is a standout, but the flashburger is OFF THE PLANET GOOD. I had two, it was so so mouth watering and special. Loved it. Lean in and order a lot of food here, it’s worth it.

Enigma will blow you away. It was hands down the most creative, thoughtful, and masterfully excited dining experience I’ve ever had. From the moment you arrive and enter your personal code on a key pad to gain access to the building, you know this will be something different. Every single moment of the experience is crafted to delight and amaze you. The staff is absolutely outstanding, and their passion for the culinary arts is extremely apparent. The food is out of this world. I found myself literally laughing after many of the dishes because I was simply so delighted and surprised by what I had just eaten. 10000% recommend Enigma to any lovers of fine, experimental, and artistic dining.

Enigma is truly a memorable dining experience. During the course of your meal, you will experience a wide range of flavors and preparation techniques. I enjoyed nearly every dish, the only one that I didn't quite like was the shrimp course. Several of the course are prepped or finished right at your table, bringing the experience to life. One of my favorite aspects of the meal were the different textures you experience, even with ingredients you might be familiar with. The chefs truly lean into their creativity. We opted to accompany our meal with a wine pairing, which I completely recommend for anyone on the fence! The price is reasonable, and you get a fun tour of Spain wine regions along the wine. The one thing that fell short for us was the service. Service started out great, being welcomed in by the entire kitchen while being guided to our table. The servers and chefs were very attentive and friendly when talking to us about our dishes. However, about halfway through the meal, we were kind of forgotten about in favor of some larger tables.

🍸From a positive side, the food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. Additionally, the presentation of each dish was unique and interesting, making each plate a piece of art. I appreciated the attention to detail in the design, and our company found ourselves admiring the space throughout our meal. We were also pleased that the restaurant provided alternative options for a child, (chicken and chips) although I wouldn’t recommend coming with children below the age of 14-15 as they get quite bored and the meals can be peculiar ( raw fish, spicy food, etc.). Our waiter, Veronica, was also very professional and attentive throughout our meal. She was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Unfortunately, there were a few negative aspects to our experience. When we arrived, we were offered “tea” (more like soup) at the entrance, the space was quite small and overcrowded with staff that were just standing there which made us feel uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic experience!

The cuisine is exquisite, at the level expected, we would have loved to repeat more than one dish. The bathrooms of ten, all careful to detail.

Closing the year, Enigma is in our top2 with DiverXo, with Enigma being far above the service offered by its people in the room.

Airport food version of what it was... The staff is operating miracles to keep people happy here. Place is still gorgeous. Some dishes are still great but are not worth the price and bad atmosphere now.

Best dining experience ever! The experience completely exceeded my expectations and was quite honestly much better than many 3 Michelin Star restaurants that I’ve eaten at. The food and service were both impeccable.

If you can get in, and you love food, love surprises, love to be challenged in your expectations of fine dining - you need to come here. I won’t reveal the dishes as this is part of the surprise - but needless to say I had some of the very best cuisine and incredible flavors I have ever experienced. A total Enigma of a place indeed - a once in a lifetime experience.

only

It has been a great experience, a lot of technique and incredible flavors. Very friendly and helpful staff. A pleasure.

The service and ambience are impeccable, however the food left much to be desired. The menu consists of numerous dishes yet struggle to find the difference between cooking and a collection of ingredients on a plate, superb the ingredients may be. The theme of the night is scattered, from Chinese winter melon soup to Peking duck to grilled squid in mole. The whole experience certainly did not lack theater, with majority of the dishes "cooked" at table side. The first dish of the night consisting of deconstructed ravioli by spherification at table side is certainly intriguing. Majority of table side preparations felt awkward and completely unnecessary. The connection with El Bulli, such as spherification, was continued and advertised throughout dinner, making one ponder the originality of Enigma. With rumored reopening of El Bulli, one must wonder will Enigma ever step out of the ghostly shadow of the culinary giant.

The most complete amazing meal I have ever had.

I have been a fan of Ferran and Albert Adria for a long time and was crushed when El Bulli closed. I was beyond thrilled when Albert Adria imagined and created a new and unique restaurant group. Our initial goal was to dine at Tickets. I sat online at 6 pm (our time) every day for a week trying for a reservation and ultimately failing. Luckily, we scored a reservation at Enigma restaurant. Over the next couple of months, I read reviews and they were either glowing or showed dislikes. My thought process for dining at Enigma was probably different from most people. I have dined at expensive restaurants and have been beyond disappointed. I love to cook and bake all the time and I'm pretty good at it. When it came to Enigma I was more interested in the skills and Avante Garde approach to food that is rare and special. To me, Enigma is a multi-sensory experience more so than just delicious food. After reserving your spot you receive a unique code and password to enter the restaurant. On the day of our reservation, we entered our code and password. Walking down the hall we were greeted by the staff, our coats were taken, and we were offered water. To me walking into Enigma felt like stepping into a cave with cool colors, ice, and texture. Our menu consisted of items we were familiar with, items we weren't familiar with and items I thought I would never try. The thoughtfulness, techniques, and flow of our meal were incredible. I also appreciated how the servers and chefs explained each dish and some of their process (some information was given after you ate the dish). There were a few dishes containing dairy and I ended up taking a few Lactaid pills throughout the evening. Ryonkan When the time came to start our experience we were welcomed with a warm drink. La Cava In La Cava, we were welcomed by staff and a sommelier to a small table for two. To accompany our meal we ordered a bottle of Kimoto Junmai Ginjo Sake. La Barra ​In La Bara, our seats were right next to the chef. La Planxa The two chefs in this area of the restaurant were particularly friendly, inviting, and informative. This portion of the meal was actually in the middle of the "Dinner" aspect of our evening. Dinner On the way to our table, we were welcomed to the restaurant by the Executive Chef. A warm and welcoming touch. We were then shown to a lovely table for two. ​The Dessert aspect of the meal was also served at the Dinner table. 41 degrees As you walk through the kitchen the staff thank you for coming, then take you through a "storage room" to 41 degrees. We had two seats at the bar which we enjoyed. One particular bite was kind of fun to experience and I will remember it even though I didn't catch a picture. I could not begin to pick out a favorite dish. The combination of textures, depth of flavors, and unique ingredients were truly special. A few standouts for me were the green mandarin Kakigori (bright and fragrant), Barnacle and codium (nice texture and slight sea taste), Pea "calcots" (fresh and true pea taste), the cured Lobster (I'm a New Englander and this was the best bite of lobster I've ever had), and the Autumn salad (who knew I would enjoy Sea Anemone). With close to 40 creations one would think we'd end up being completely full. I was happily surprised that we were content and not uncomfortable. If you are looking for wonderful service, delicious food, unique ingredients, and a new approach to dining Enigma is a must visit restaurant!

Everything was perfect. My fiance and I ending up spending over 5hours there during our meal (2hrs at the bar in the end) and enjoyed every single minute of it. It truly was a remarkable experience.

This is one of us dining experiences I will never forget. Stop reading reviews and just go experience amazing culinary arts, but be ready for 3-4 hour dinner. It was worth every moment and bite.

(Translated by Google) There are 6 stars ????? (Original) Hi ha 6 estrelles?????

Do you like seafood? Do you like the overpowering taste of fish and the sea? If you answered no to either of these questions, go somewhere else. Even one of the desserts tasted of sea! The best part is the end when you go to the reimagined 41 degrees for cocktails and modernist bites. The staff are attentive and eager to please but offer no substitutes if you dislike the taste of fishy fish. Some dishes they even go out of their way to make them taste more fishy so there is no complexity of flavour that you’d expect with a Michelin star. The person who said this is where the tickets rejects go is not far off. I caught a fruit fly in my hand and when asked to go to the washroom, I was told to wait. After I caught the second fruit fly in my hand while still waiting for a towel, I decided I was a grown up paying lots of money so I could go wash bugs off my hand whenever I wanted. Some dishes are impressive but for the price the food and overall experience is not worth it. Ps to be fair, it seems all of Albert’s restaurants are seafood forward so it’s possible I wouldn’t like tickets either except for the fact that I could order only things without seafood there.

possibly one of the best food experiences I've ever had

Really enjoyable experience. Of the 40 odd dishes, only a few missed the mark for me. If you've already decided to go, try to avoid reading too much about the experience. Wine pairing was a low point for me, maybe go with cocktails or a bottle.

I could post more, but, what can you say about a secret restaurant by Albert and Ferran Adria? Outstanding in every way; if you want to know more, you'll have to crack the secret. 😉

After what it was a good experience with good service, it turned out to be a nightmare the following day; since my wife and I got food poisoned from this meal. After reaching out to the management team about this matter, in order to make sure his culinary team would be taking the proper precautions about this situation; they were completely dismissive about the matter, with not response back whatsoever. With this review, I hope the Enigma team to be more empathetic about situations like this, and take the proper precautions when needed.

(Translated by Google) Excellent gastronomic experience. We really enjoyed it from start to finish. Highly recommended. (Original) Experiència gastronòmica excel·lent. Ens va agrada molt de principi a fi. Molt recomanable.

Worth every penny spent! Real wasabi. Aged soya sauce. Wine pairing was excellent. Service and waitress knew all the details. Clean environment kitchen. 40 plates served, would definitely come back and definitely the best in Europe. Ended with a drink at their 41 degrees bar. Smokey. Citrus. Spicy. And

Interesting entrance with PIN number. Once you get in you are already in a different space/world. The experience starts with some snacks each one of them original and well presented. After you will go to some food stations with live cooking. This was the best experience of the evening. The two live cooking stations were interesting but keep in mind that you will eat something that you are not used to. The last food station was in my opinion the less impressive (therefore rating 4 in place of 5). The culinary trip is ending in a coktail bar with really good service. In summary for the price I was expecting a little bit more but anyway a really original and unique experience.

Amazing experience! This is not your typical Spanish fare. You have to be ready and enter with an open mind to fully immerse yourself with the environment the moment you enter through those doors

This restaurant offers a very different experience to other restaurants of the same range that I had visited. When you enter Enigma, you leave the world behind to step into a labyrinthic UFO-world. The food and drinks are served in four different locations from different chefs. I especially enjoyed the food from station two and three. What needs to be mentioned is, that we ate for almost four hours but didn't leave the restaurant feeling too full, which I consider positive. Conclusion: I recommend this restaurant (more for the experience than the food)

From the minute you walk in Enigma pulls you in, the staff are so attentive, the food is out of this world some flavour combinations you could never see coming but they work so well and the bar at the end is the perfect way to finish off your evening. Cant recommend Enigma enough

I visited here at the end of October and we went for the tasting menu. It’s truly an experience like no other, definitely one of the fanciest restaurants I’ve ever been, so innovative. It’s not for the faint hearted in terms of what’s served or price but it’s reflective of the impeccable standard-well worth the price tag. Special, unique and memorable.

An incredible dining experience. The food is wildly inventive, and often my friends and I were absolutely stunned by sheer creativity of the menu. The wine pairings were excellently chosen. Through the meal the staff were incredible—attentive, well versed in the menu, able to discuss the food in detail, friendly. The service felt like a performance— like going to see a show. A truly once in a lifetime dinner.

it was nice and interesting experience. good degustation menu : not too much and not a little . design of restaurant is cool. but just one “but” : to bring dead bird on the table “to present the dish”was not good idea. rest is good)

Probably the best meal of my life. Certainly the most interesting. Imaginative cuisine and impeccable service. Accommodated my shellfish allergy while remaining incredibly delicious and sophisticated. Highly highly recommend.

Very good gastronomic experience. I ordered the vegetarian tasting menu and some dishes were excellent and others did not convince me too much.

The Enigma Team was expert at every single aspect of our dining experience! Each team member is a professional expert and watching the team function in tandem to serve all guests was an experience all its own! Our expectations were astronomically exceeded! The cuisine on the menu was incredible and conceptually intriguing, and it was wonderful for the team members to both explain the context of each dish experience in addition to the suggested method of consuming/enjoying each one as the menu was served! The environment of the venue is sublime and contributes significantly to the overall dining experience! Our dining experience was the pinnacle of the anniversary celebration trip with my partner and we would absolutely recommend making a reservation at Enigma to experience it for yourself!

It was the craziest dining experience of my life. Not being used to this kind of place (I've only been to one starred hotel before this one) I was almost a little nervous to go there. This meal was great. The servers were able to put us at ease despite any small hiccups but it was not at all disturbing and very Minim because they did a great job very Well orchestrated with no expectations. We were very Well considered. The food and Wines were great. THE Meals are fun, even fun. It’s fine and tasty. It’s not common, it makes you think. And I think that’s what we expect from chef Albert Adria’s cuisine. Under the cost of stress when I arrived I did not greet him but I would like to thank him from the bottom of my heart for what he prepared for us that evening THANKS

Great vegetarian option! Wonderful wine pairing. 7 million bubbles - all fantastic. The staff was friendly and skilled. Every bite was magical.

(Translated by Google) For me, the best restaurant in Barcelona and surely, a future 3 * and top 5-10 in the world.

I enjoyed 1-3,4 was missing, room 5 drinks were great but not dessert.

Where to start??!! The food is so pure and so unique prepared, we were blown away. We had around 40(!!!) dishes. There are different sections in the restaurant so every now and then you move to another kitchen. What a skills & service. This is one of the best reelstaurants a ever been.

We cannot deny the technical capabilities of the team and Chef Albert but the overall food experience was unfortunately disappointing and the techniques and the flavors were Deja vu. Also, I notified them that my wife was pregnant ahead of time and her “adjusted” menu was mainly cucumber (see pic), mushroom and zucchini! While the table next door was enjoying a wagyu A5 plate, and when we inquired, they said “oh those customers have been here 15 times, so they preordered a special request”. Honestly, if you are going to treat customers unequally and if you cannot fulfill the culinary experience of some of the customers with restrictions, then food lovers deserve to know how touristy this place has become. No wonder the chef had to close Tickets and all his other restaurants in Spain. This one, it is probably a matter of time.

Vegetarians GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! The vegetarian menu for which you pay the same price as the non-vegetarian is not worthy the experience: very basic ingredients (for me it was mostly tomato & mozzarella) for very basic non-impressive dish elaborations. They also often forgot to present my dishes but I admit it was easy guessing. When sharing our thoughts to the waiter he simply responded: this is not a vegetarian restaurant 😄 So why put this option on your carte and bill the clients as much as for the regular menu?

So many courses. So many stations. It is a fizzing meal with some unreal highs. I could have stopped after 15 courses and been fine. We still had half the meal left. Unbelievable event dining! Now I need to walk all over Barcelona to walk it off.

Only reason I gave 4 stars was because of atmosphere and service. Food was not that great. Had 15 dishes and would recommend less than half of them. I think they are just trying too hard to be creative and the taste of the food suffers for it.

Being long time fans of Albert Adrians work, we came with high expectations and were not disappointed. We came for the relaxed dinner experience and basically ate our way almost through the entire menue! We shared some of the items, much to the amusement of our lovely, very attentive and supportive waitress who supplied us with the needed knives. Since most items are either one bite, sandwiches and canapes, cutlery isn't needed. The smash burger show at the teppanyaki grill was a delight. The chef was a bit stage frightend but did a beautiful job explaining the ingredients and process whilst serving us delicious food. The coffee miso and the chocolate mole ice creams were revelations. So incredibly delicious! A perfect finish, leaving us stuffed but wanting for more. The memory of this evening will stay for us until the next visit!
