Description
Open since December 2014, the restaurant Disfrutar (in English “Enjoy”) arose after years of intense work at elBulli, where Mateu Casañas, Oriol Castro and Eduard Xatruch met and trained professionally, and after reaffirming the work done at Compartir opened in April 2012 in Cadaqués.
Located in the Eixample, just in front of the Ninot Market, the premises are also surprising due to their design. Respect for the history and legacy of the Mediterranean are the inspiration and ceramic is the common theme marking the interior. The entrance area is inspired by Barcelona, by the wrought iron of the Ninot Market and the colours of Mironian ceramics. The In Barcelona the gastronomic offer revolves around the tasting menu, with clearly avant-garde cuisine and where the dishes stand out for their great, markedly Mediterranean identity. In short, a restaurant with daring, fun and modern cuisine searching for taste as the main proposition.
*** Three stars: a unique cuisine.
This restaurant is characterized by the inventive spirit of the three chefs at the helm (Eduard Xatruch, Oriol Castro and Mateu Casañas), who have made creativity their watchword – clearly their time working alongside Ferran Adrià at El Bulli made a real impression! What's so special about this place? Firstly, the food itself is highly innovative, with the chefs playing with shapes, textures and flavors and exhibiting indisputable craftsmanship. In addition, a constant stream of innovations emerges from their laboratory, such as their “solid bubbles” or, even more remarkably, a “living table” that changes as the meal progresses (the latter experience is by prior reservation only). It could be said that, despite the superb ingredients on display, you probably come here more to enjoy the extraordinary overall experience and to admire the incredible expertise of Disfrutar's chefs. Choose between two tasting menus: Classic, featuring the restaurant's signature dishes (such as the multi-spherical pesto with smoked eel and pistachios); and Festival, which showcases its latest seasonal creations. One of the drinks pairing options is alcohol-free.
