1. Disfrutar
Disfrutar is our number one in Barcelona. Chefs Eduard Xatruch, Oriol Castro and Mateu Casañas all worked with Ferran Adrià at El Bulli, and the menu is the closest living descendant of that style.
There are two tasting menus. The Classic menu has the signature dishes, including a multi-spherical pesto with smoked eel and pistachios, and the Festival menu has newer seasonal creations. A reservation-only living table experience is also offered. The restaurant is closed on weekends and takes bookings directly.
Three stars and the most inventive kitchen in the city.
2. Lasarte
Lasarte is named after the town where Martín Berasategui built his name. Paolo Casagrande, a protégé of Berasategui, runs the kitchen, and the room offers à la carte and set menus.
Il Milione is a private, reservation-only experience for two to eight guests, inspired by Marco Polo’s travels. Doors open Wednesday to Saturday.
Three stars, with the widest range of ways to dine.
3. ABaC
ABaC is a restaurant-and-hotel complex under chef Jordi Cruz. A single tasting menu mixes new recipes with signature dishes and revisits Catalan and Mediterranean flavors.
The standout dessert is Aqua Mirabilis, a course that lets you taste a scent, as a tribute to Johann Maria Farina, who founded the oldest perfume factory in the world in 1709. Tuesday and Wednesday are closed days.
Three stars and the only one on this list attached to its own hotel.
4. Cocina Hermanos Torres
The Torres twins, Sergio and Javier, run this restaurant with a tasting-style menu built on seasonal, local ingredients. A standout dish is cured squid with poultry consommé and caviar.
Five sommeliers oversee the wine cellar. Guests booking a table for one must contact the restaurant in advance.
Three stars and the strongest wine service.
