Michelin tables in Barcelona
4 michelin tables in Barcelona, chosen and checked by the Atlas. The world's great dining rooms, from three-star palace restaurants in Paris and Mayfair to the counters of Tokyo and the kitchens of New York and São Paulo. Only Michelin-starred tables.
Disfrutar
Run by three chefs who met in the kitchens of elBulli, Disfrutar is regularly ranked among the best restaurants in the world. Long, playful, astonishing tasting menus.
ABaC
Jordi Cruz's restaurant and boutique hotel at the top of Avinguda del Tibidabo. Creative, highly technical Catalan cuisine in a garden setting.
Lasarte
Martín Berasategui's restaurant in the Monument Hotel on Passeig de Gràcia, the first in Barcelona to win three stars.
Cocina Hermanos Torres
Twin brothers Sergio and Javier Torres cook in a vast, theatrical former industrial space, with the kitchen at the centre of the room.
Good to know
Book early
Three-star tables often release reservations 30 to 90 days ahead and fill within hours. Set a reminder, or ask your hotel concierge.
Dress the room
Smart is the rule; a jacket is expected in most palace-hotel dining rooms, and some still require a tie.
Tell them in advance
Allergies, dislikes and celebrations are best mentioned when booking, not at the table.
Lunch is the secret
Many starred kitchens serve a shorter lunch menu at a fraction of the dinner price, with the same hands at the stove.
