Àbac - Barcelona

Great 3 Michelin star Restaraunt. Each course is really unique, with absolutely extraordinary flavors. They had a very interesting and delicious take on a **** Mary, given at the very beginning! The presentation of each course is amazing with very unique plate designs.

Lived up to the creativity and service of a Michelin restaurant. The setting was beautiful and the presentation was as unique as the food combinations.

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 not on par that night. The food overall was okay, some beautiful presentations but not memorable. At one point in the night, several drunk patrons wobbled their way from the back through the long dining room and one man threw up repeatedly on the floor !!! , leaving everyone shocked and disgusted. One couple immediately left mid meal. I thought maybe the staff would present a courtesy wine pour as an apology for the gross behavior but nothing. In fact there was hardly an apology for the ruined experience. This is suppose to be a 3-star Michelin restaurant?? Understand your patrons. I chose to come here because I was unable to secure a reservation at Disfrutar. Sadly I wish I had chosen one of the other 2 or 3 star Michelin restaurants in Barcelona.

Fantastic food (for the most part) beautifully served with incredible ingredients in an ambiance that feels cold and robotic. We had the full dinner tasting menu, setting us back 250EUR per person before tip and drinks. Judging by the food and presentation alone, this price makes sense given its 3 Michelin stars. The ingredients were fresh and top-quality, and some of the preparation was done meticulously by the waiters, table-side, which added to the overall experience. The amount of different dishes and drinks, from start to finish, was precise and left us full. However, when you go to a restaurant at this caliber you expect the full experience to be flawless and this is where things start to go wrong: we began with a tour of the kitchen, and ended up crammed in a corner where we were served three bite-sized dishes. We had our server wait anxiously by our side for us to finish before walking us to the table. We were then quickly presented with the menu and advised to not go to the restrooms before alerting the waiter because there is a very tight schedule for the dishes . The dishes were all presented to us with a very monotonic voice and it just felt like we were props in a larger show and expected to behave according to their schedule. This place is not for everyone and some people will find it disappointing. When looking at the entire night, we had a lot of delicious and creative food and eventually enjoyed our dinner. I do think there are a few key things left to improve and therefore the 4-star review

Eating at Abac is an exceptional experience. We thoroughly enjoyed absolutely all the dishes, which are surprising and delicious and the service was super pleasant. 100% recommendable. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch
