Here are the best Michelin star restaurants in Barcelona 2021:​

1

Abac ***​

This was the first of all the Michelin restaurants in Barcelona to get a 2nd Michelin star, then a 3rd.

Located in an exclusive area of the uptown Barcelona, it is not only a restaurant but also a very classy hotel. Chef Jordi Cruz is famous for his creativity and the way he plays with traditional flavors and combines them with exotic influences.

Lasarte ***​

The Monument Hotel is home to the third of the 2 Michelin Star restaurants in Barcelona is managed by the world renowned Basque chef Martin Berasategui, owner of 3 stars for his main restaurant in Guipuzkoa.

They are famous for treating with exquisite respect the products of the earth and the sea, and the delicacy with which they serve them. BTW, if you couldn’t book there, they also own the Oria restaurant in the same building – a 1 Star Michelin restaurant.

Disfrutar ***

A personal favorite, Disfrutar is one of the few Michelin restaurants in Barcelona that doesn’t partner with a hotel. 3 chefs that learned in the iconic El Bulli of Ferran Adria opened their Barcelona restaurant after their success in the quaint seaside village of Cadaques. 

Their creativity leads them to challenge traditional cooking to surprise their guests with flashbacks to their childhood meals and unexpected textures and flavors behind familiar presentations. You can read my experience in Disfrutar that I shared some time ago in this blog.

Chef Paco Pérez runs this restaurant at the Arts Ritz-Carlton Hotel, another of the most coveted 2 Michelin Star restaurants in Barcelona. Its location by the sea inspires a menu mainly focused on seafood and fish.

Cinc Sentits*

Chef Jordi Artal runs this superb restaurant, getting inspiration from traditional Catalan cuisine and the products of each season. They have two menus: their 11-dish tasting menu and a more reduced one of “only” 8 courses. 

They have a privé room for groups over 10 people, and if you are lucky enough to be 6 to 8 you can ask to get the chef table, a private room with views over the kitchen.
