Àbac Barcelona Reviews
Mixed feeling
If you want to watch our full video review, find us on YouTube @travelwithpassionandstyle We visited ABAC for dinner, expecting an outstanding 3 Michelin star experience. Some moments were memorable: the opening Bloody Mary prepared tableside, the k
Great wines, great fun, lovely dishes, wonderful experience!
Lovely place, not visible from outside. We were greeted by the young team, which made our stay very enjoyable. Great wine suggestions, lovely food with a twist and nice creative ideas to make a wow … 3 star Michelin as it should be.
A Romantic Evening Spoiled
Overrated! There are certain expectations when dining at a restaurant with 3 Michelin stars and ABaC did not live up to the hype. At best, ABaC might be worthy of 1 Michelin star. The food was not bad, but not exceptional either. The most memorable

Strawberries & Helium
I’ve had an excellent experience. The food was interesting, delicious and played on all the senses. The atmosphere was tranquil and very relaxing. Also Davide (one of our waiters) was a true champion. So if you’re looking to take dining to the ne
Fails to impress
ABAC isn't a bad restaurant, but in our opinion, it doesn't stand out among other Michelin-starred establishments. We went for dinner thinking we were in for one of the best dining experiences available today, but aside from a few unique di
Amazing & Pricey
Amazing experience that was wildly overpriced! Very uppidy and posh. My bestie that I am traveling with is all about restaurants like this and I just go with for the exciting ride. The staff, food, wine, everything was amazing. The wine list is so la
The presentation of the food is amazing
After having dinners in all four Michelin stars restaurants in a week in Barcelona, it is a time to write the reviews. I would describe this restaurant as a creative fine dinning. The presentations of the food are more impressive then the food themse
Poor Service
We went 10y ago and had a great experience, wanted to go back and it was a big mistake. From the outset, the experience fell far short of what one might expect from a three Michelin-star restaurant. The initial interaction was abrupt: we were aske
Incredibly disappointing dining experience 🤬
An unbelievably disappointing dining experience My friends & I were having high hope in ABaC since this was our 6th dinner in Barcelona which we were so satisfied with all the restaurants no matter they were Michelin starred or just a local Spa
Special Occasion
I selected this hotel and restaurant as a gift for my husband’s 60th and it did not disapoint. The room was amazing as was the dinner. Our absolute favourite courses were the seafood, they were out of this world. Absolutely recommend for a special
Food - 4/5 delicious and creative.
Every course was an adventure - it's clear the chef understands texture, color, flavor, and story telling. Our favorites included the oyster shelled velvet sauce, the deconstructed green tomato gazpacho, and the mullet with prawn. An example of
We had a great time at ABaC.
The chef mixed classic fine dining with some fun dishes. Almost every course had some finishing touch prepared at your table. The menu definitely felt carefully curated- there was a dessert inspired by the Little Prince and a balloon themed one. Many
Divine
My husband and I decided to splurge when we were in Barcelona and try Jordi Cruz’s renowned restaurant. We ordered the 14 course menu with wine pairing. It was easily one of the best meals in my life, from the welcoming glass of cava, to the kitche
Wow!!! Wow!!!! This place blew me away.
This place was my second 5 out of 5 rating since I've been to Spain. Everything was on point. I really enjoyed standing during the appetizer stage. That was a very different experience for me. Come hungry because you get a lot of food.
Superb gastronomic experience in a super lux place
Went sole for dinner on a summer 2023 Thursday. The restaurant is located in a lux hotel in the up,ark et part of the city. The experience starts with a tour of the kitchen where you try the first few dishes and the accompanied to the table in a luxu
Abac hotel and RESTRAUNT
Wonderful hotel. Limited rooms but spacious with designer inspired details everywhere. 45 person staff for their 5 star restraunt complete with famous chef. Expect a 300 euro cost for dinner. Extensive wine selection as well as exclusive liquors. Gre
Great food, too little wine ...
Of course, expectations were high - 3 Michelin stars and 435 € per person for tasting menu with wine pairing. From the savory kitchen we had a number of extraordinary and extremely delicious dishes. A lot of true genius there. My tooth isn't that s
RUN! You don’t need this place - rip off
Not worth it. Bad peoples. Horrible service. Just run to the other three other Michelin star in the city! I have eaten in Michelin star, 3 Michelin stars from different continents, this place treats colored people differently. Sometimes you let those
A real 3 stars with unique experiences and surprises all along the meal
The experience starts in the kitchen. And because a kitchen is timed, it is important to arrive a little bit in advance in order not to disturb the mechanic of precision that a kitchen is, especially when guests are asked to get their pre-starters in
A disillusionment for which Michelin may scratch themselves behind the ears .. How is this possible?
From front to back a disillusionment unparalleled. It already started wrong when we waited in the (not heated) garden for 20 minutes without even looking back to see if we wanted a drink. It continued in the kitchen where we got the first amuses pr
A disgrace & A promise-breaker
*Short-Version* The experience was an enormous disappointment and deceiving because of: 1. the failure to balance flavors of saltiness & acidity 2. the failure to perform a gradually richer sauce consistency as the menu proceeded 3. the failure
The Emperor Wears No Clothes—This is just BAD!!!!
Let me start by saying I think that Michelin should reimburse me for all the money I spent going to this restaurant. From start to finish, without hesitation i can say this is the worst Michelin rated restaurant i have ever been to. I sincerely hope
Wow! Where to start.
.. one of the most memorable and special gastronomic experiences of my life. We were welcomed for a reservation and invited to join the staff in the kitchen for some super special appetizers and a killer bloody Mary. Once we finished a number of won
The ambiance was rather sterile.
There is hardly any color in the restaurant, which was surprising because the entrance and outside space is so gorgeous. Service was hit and miss that night. The food overall was okay, some beautiful presentations but not memorable. At one point in
I really wanted to like this restaurant but for this price
I really wanted to like this restaurant but for this price point there are a lot better meals to be had. There are some really nice aspects to the meal, and they open really strong. Unfortunately the menu falls off really hard at the proteins and d
Food was salty, service was sloppy and ambiance was stuffy.
However, the course's overall concept was quite fun--particularly the desserts; they were nostalgia re-envisioned. Processed candies eaten as a kid, recreated with fine dining ingredients and techniques. One of the desserts tasted like I was drinki
Wonderful experience.
You begin in the kitchen with a few amazing courses. The staff is sweet, attentive and friendly (so long as you are), otherwise they are quite professional and to the point which is still appreciated. Sommeliers are intelligent and enjoyable. We we
The restaurant's decor and atmosphere is wonderful.
The staff is attentive and treats you very well. For me the food just didn't do it for me. Some of the dishes were too salty and repetitive. The number of times foam presented in a serving is unnecessary. We got a wine paring option with our meal and
Simply spectacular
We recently spent a week in Madrid and Barcelona and spent considerable time planning our meals. We dined at multiple Michelin starred restaurants and this was definitely our favorite. The space is stunning and in a charming neighborhood removed fr
Don’t think 3 star Michelin means the same for everybody
17-02-2023 when you hear a chef with 3 Michelin star you automatically expect something extraordinary. I am a person who loves gastronomy and use to go to all kind of good restaurants from Michelin star to street food. Tonight we were disappointed bc

One of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had! We were lucky to snag a reservation the day after Christmas and so glad that we did. We started our dining experience in the kitchen with some small bites and the best Bloody Mary cocktail I've e

What an incredible dining experience! Each dish was filled with delicious and bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and creativity. & the staff were professional and very service-oriented. I highly recommend ABaC when visiting Barcelona. I only h
It's good but not Michelin 3 star good and not as good as I
It's good but not Michelin 3 star good and not as good as I expected. I'll finish this review with my own experience shortly.
This is my second time at ABaC.
After a fantastic experience my first go around in 2019, this second time was certainly not the charm. Despite phenomenal service, after 21 different items in their tasting experience, ABaC failed to amaze in 21 out of 21, and on the 21st there was h
Connect with users posting reservations for Àbac Barcelona
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Àbac Barcelona. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Àbac Barcelona at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Àbac Barcelona page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Àbac Barcelona to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Àbac Barcelona!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
