ABaC H&R Barcelona Monument

Interesting experience with unexpected textures, tastes and atmosphere that are created. In a lot of dishes it was black caviar, so those who love it, will enjoy for sure. I liked the first dishes that were in the kitchen, we even took a photo with the team there, and I can say that everyone were top friendly. So if you want to try something interesting, unexpected and of a high level you must visit this restaurant.

Sadly the experience at ABaC was quite a disappointment, the presentation and the food was delicious, just as at the other restaurant, but the other restaurant excelled in every other aspect. We started with a tour in the kitchen, while we got that, music was playing in the kitchen, and two other parties was getting the same tour very close to us, so it was almost impossible to hear the presentation of the dishes, and the kitchen. As we was shown our table at ABaC, there were no other place for handbags than on the table or on the floor. During our entire seating, our towels wasn't changed once, not even during bathroom breaks. The bread was served only with hazelnut butter. At the other resraurant, we got three delicious butter variants, and even very high quality olive oil. Maybe worst of all was the fact that I found a dead fly in one of my dishes. It's something that can, but shouldn't happen at a restaurant, however, at a 3-star Michelin restaurant, I expect the quality control to simply eliminate that scenario. The waitor should have checked the food before serving it, to make sure no such thing had happened. In regards to the food in general, I gotta say it was very delicious. The dried garland tomatoes was so flavourfull, and yet seemed so simple. The low temperature hak was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, and had the perfect texture. Last but not least, the "Balloon of strawberry" was both a entertaining and great way to end the experience. All in all, the negatives did far outweight the positives, especially with the fact in mind that this restaurant got a 3rd star. I would highly recommend skipping this one, and instead try either Angle, or one of the many other options in Barcelona.
