I went on Sunday night for the set menu. One word "fantastic". I've eaten at The Fat Duck, Nuno Mendes. The Grammercy Tavern and WD50 in New York, Arzak in San Sebastian, Comerc 24,Restaurant Marcus Waring, The Bristol and Beufinger in Paris etc. I think this rates up there, maybe not in the whole high end hotel style fine dining,...

The food, wine and service are very good. All seven dishes were a nice and creative surprise. And all this for a good price.

Really, really good food and fantastic wines... I recommend it, possibly lunch time is perfect but here is what happened: we had a 23.30 reservation since my flight was arriving late, this was accepted a week before, from 23.15 they were calling asking where we were, we were arriving, we arrived at 23.35 not a second later and we were...

We ate at Osmosis last month and had a lovely meal. We were made to feel very special and I suggest asking them to recommend wine to go with your meal as we had a lovely bottle of red that wasn't even on the wine list.

This place is a well-kept secret in the Eixample neighbourhood. The six-course sampling menu at midday is wonderful, tasty, well presented and extremely original. I particularly like the sweet-salty contrasts and the use of fruit in the main courses. Do book in advance as the place is small and may be crowded. The staff are really gentle and very young...

If you want something a bit different as a dining experience and the pleasure of the taster menu, then this is one of the places to go in Barcelona. Very unassuming from the outside (but then they are not likely to get much walkin from the street business) in a nice district of Barcelona. Inside its quite small but we... More
