This was an OK experience (and OK is not bad), but my first counsel, even if you are big eaters like us, I'd think twice about getting the full carnival menu unless you are completely famished and can hold your wine (pourings are generous- each pairing generally goes with two dishes though). It was a lot of food and wine, even for us, but we did eat a fair amount of bread to sop up the sauces. If we return, we'd try the slightly thinner Menú degustación instead. Service is attentive and friendly. As I mentioned, there are lots of courses. Some landed. Some did not. The first course was a huge winner: the artichoke in an anchovy oil. I could have eaten three of those. Also, I was really impressed with the duck salad and berries. For me, the pork skin was more grease than taste, and the turbot was a missed opportunity. My other criticism is that there were a few misses in the marriage between the wine and the food and none of the pairing truly felt harmonious. The best was an unusually tasting syrah/mourvèdre/grenache blend (give it a moment to open though) with the duck and pear course. My final thought is I like the concept of experimentation and as a fan of the ancient Romans I love their ideas of trying to recreate some ancient plates. The risk of too much experimentation is that sometimes a few things fall flat. Total price for two carnival menus and two wine pairings with tax and 10% cash tip for the good service was 418 Euros. This was not a good value for us. Given the convenient location and overall concept, I might try it again. I would lean more into 3.5 stars, but for our meal, 4 is too generous considering several plates that fell flat for us and overall price of the experience. read more

We really need to spend more time in Barcelona sampling the many excellent restaurants in the city. This is one of them. Also, I need to take more pictures. The food at Two Peppers is creative, different, and delicious. The restaurant is a bit more upscale than some of our other haunts but worth a visit. Staff is great and service is up to par. Remember to make a reservation and show up for it. read more

peanut butter: so, I thought that this place like knew what they were doing -- the waiter had a 60-second explanation for everything on the menu. It's a good vibe to start. sometimes he talked for too long though I was like dude, just give me my food. jelly: i didn't really mind him talking for so long. I feel like he was so passionate about his job and it was kind of endearing. peanut butter: that's fair jelly: but I also felt like, they were trying to make everything super fancy and almost upsell? peanut butter: that's interesting -- like the pork nipples, they were selling the consumé and not the meat of the nip -- like it wasn't that special. jelly: yeah, I'd say the same thing. It was more for show than for taste, but I felt the same way about the vegetables because they were in this wreath shape and had flowers but I really didn't love the taste; but everyone at the table liked it. peanut butter: maybe you thought it was just too olive oily. jelly: yeah, I think I did. peanut butter: ...and I remember we had snails! jelly: snails were actually pretty good but I didn't like the bone marrow and you had to order that with it. peanut butter: yeah, bone marrow was nasty. it looked and tasted like fat, but it wasn't tasty like fat... and who wants to order fat like no one is saying I want a bowl of fat. jelly: you're a bowl of fat *hehehehehe* read more

We really enjoyed our meal here. They had three different fixed menus. We weren't sure if we wanted the second or third option but we opted for the third (Festival menu) because it had the cauliflower caviar, dry aged beef and turbot fish. It was a lot of food, and the middle menu would probably have been the better option, portion wise. However the turbot fish was amazing and it was part of the festival menu. The dry aged beef was a thin slice of beef, that tasted like Iberian ham, could have done without that, also Festival menu only option. The cauliflower and caviar was OK, but again the three extra dishes were not so amazing that I would do the Festival tasting menu again. The middle menu would have been perfect. Overall we enjoyed our experience. The service was outstanding, one person in our group only spoke English, but the servers were able to explain all the dishes in English, which was nice. The carbona really stood out. It was great! The turbot and squid were probably my favorite dishes. One dish we devoured so fast I didn't even get a photo. We could barely walk out when we left we were so full. It was a lovely experience in Barcelona. I recommend this place. read more

Good tasting dishes but portion size way too small, also overpriced. Service from waitress Monica is very good, nothing but positives on that. Caveat emptor! read more

Not sure what some of the reviews know what they're getting into. This place was twice Michelin starred so yeah if you're looking for affordable big portion, this is the wrong place. Anyway, we chose this place because this is Albert Raurich's ancient recipe concept restaurant, particularly ancient Roman fish sauce garum. Barcino (Roman name for Barcelona) used to produce garum for the empire so my curiosity was really hyped. We did the mid tier tasting menu with wine pairing. Everything is wonderful. read more

I was very excited to come here as the atmosphere had a very authentic Barcelona feel to it. The waiters were extremely helpful and kind to us throughout our entire visit. Unfortunately the food was not up to the standard of a michelin type restaurant. The steak was very tough and bland, while the asparagus was ice cold. I feel that If I were to come back, I would try something different to give them another try. read more

This place serves food of dreams. I cannot begin to tell you how worth it you will find this meal. It should be your Barcelona special dining experience of choice. We did the medium sized tasting menu and felt like we went on the most amazing culinary journey within those 11 dishes. It was only 80 euros per person for a beautiful tasting menu. The worth was phenomenal. The service was amazing, so thoughtful and paced just right. It's a rather formal high end restaurant with tasteful decorations, and they were still even able to accommodate a booster seat for a toddler in our party. The food though, I could talk to you endlessly about the food. The idea is that they take you through a journey in time, so the dishes progressively become more sophisticated in cooking method. Some of my favorite dishes were the earlier ones. I'm not going to reveal too much to you but the mackerel, figs, and one of the ice creams at the end were my favorite bites in all of Barcelona. Please make reservations to come here. What is also amazing is that there is availability to make reservations a few weeks beforehand or even walk in if you are planning your trip last minute. If you are looking for a unique, delicious, culinary experience, come to Dos Pebrots. read more

The worst service I ever had in a Michelin star restaurant! I had reservation for a 3:15pm lunch, the restaurant wasn't busy at all. A female server with a bitchy face that took my order was very in the hurry explaining the menu. Took her a long time to serve me a drink and the food took even longer to be served, I chose the menu with five appetizers and an entree. The bitchy face server disappeared and a male server kept bringing the dishes. After I uncomfortably finished eating, some other server brought the check saying we are closing, sounding like pay and get out! it was an awful experience! I do not recommend Dos Pebrots. read more

Typical small plates, overpriced kind of establishment. They have a good staff and interesting preservation processes with the food but I'm not running back here anytime soon. read more

Two thumbs up for Dos Pebrots (pebrots = pimientos), which serves well-conceived and carefully constructed tapas based on "ancient" concepts. We were able to walk in without a reservation and work our way through the menu with a series of gluttonous orders. Service was great, ambience was cozy, prices were... well, not exactly cheap, but entirely appropriate given what came to the table. Safety alert: it's pretty well known that you should be careful in this part of town, and true to form, someone sitting at one of the tables outside had their stuff stolen while they weren't looking. Rather than avoid Dos Pebrots, you can just eat inside :) read more

Better than I could have imagined. We had the tasting menu for two and it was incredible. The gnocchi was the best I have ever had--incredibly light, but buttery. The wine list was also very well curated. The service was fantastic--attentive and definitely willing to chat about the food. I would recommended this place 100x over! read more

This is a fabulous restaurant with an Ancient Based cuisine that is absolutely divine. Spanish food at its best. Great fish, meat, vegetables. Upon request, they served an delicious and warm gluten free bread roll. This is a casual restaurant . I went to the following location (which isn't what Yelp lists): Carrer de Casp, 12 Barcelona, Spain read more

This is where I enjoyed one of my favorite tapas meals in Barcelona! The day we arrived, we researched good restaurants and decided to try this one that night. Reservations were full, but we came at opening time to snag some seats. It was here we learned about how lax this town was about opening times: we came at 7:30 that the website said, but were told to come back at 8:30 and even then it was unclear that it was open until 9! That was fine because there were other shops and bars to wander through in the area. The servers were very helpful with menu choices and informing me on what was gluten free sand could fit my dietary restrictions. The menu was very seafood heavy, which I always enjoy and is to be expected port cities, but there was a greater emphasis on quality here compared to most other restaurants we visited during this trip. My favorite was the seafood charcuterie plate! Compared to other places in the area, prices are a little high but pretty reasonable for tourists. With great food, drinks, and service, I definitely recommend making this spot part of your trip. Though it probably wasn't the best idea to come here the first night, because the rest of my dinners there didn't live up to this standard! read more

My favorite dinner in Barcelona. Fun, tasty and not very expensive. Highlights: the pine-nut omelet, the black onion, and the quail. It is probably easy to be pescatarian here, but hard to be vegetarian. Full detail: We had an early reservation, 7:30ish, because it was the night of Correfoc. Had a big lunch, so only ordered five dishes and desserts. Stayed about two hours, with dishes coming out every 15 min or so. Servers spoke good English and translated menus were clear. Wine was not pricey and there was a good by-the-glass selection. I had a medium-bodied red and she had a gran reserva cava. First was the camaron "dentelle," or tortilla de camarones, which was thinner and more crisp than I thought it would be. Next came the "a feira" tuna, which we ordered with bread, which was different from what I expected -- the description suggested it would be dried and rehydrated with oil, but I'm pretty sure it was just fresh tuna, seared -- which was tasty. Then things got really good. The black onion, its insides coated in an ancient Roman fish sauce called "garum," was a treat. There was an entire toolbox of utensils you could choose from to eat it with. Garum tastes almost like caesar dressing, but simpler. Wish we'd tried dishes with oxigarum and aenogarum, the vinegar and wine-mixed versions! Then came the pine-nut omelet, prepared tableside with narration. I don't want to ruin the surprise, but I'll just say it was a really tasty medley of ingredients. Fine for pescatarians. (I'm vegetarian, but relax my rules when I travel overseas.) Last came the "faraon's (pharaoh's) quails," a well-seasoned bird. It was almost like a tiny, all-dark-meat chicken. Use your hands; they provide wet-naps to clean up. For desert, we had the "mato" and "tocinillo de cielo" (beacon from heaven). The mato was a bit drier than we expected, but not bad, and the tocinillo really hit the spot. Its flavor was uncomplicated, more or less straight sweetness, but it was not quite a custard or anything you've had before; it was unique. The bill was around 60 euros. read more

Outstanding. One of the most memorable meals I've had in a long time (not to mention Albert Adriá and his family also sat next to us). The tasting menu had some of the most delicious, well-prepared, creative, and inspiring dishes I've experienced. The courses were timed perfectly, had incredible range from super subtle umami to soul satisfying slow cooked comfort food. Plus, when does one ever get to try pig nipples paired with pork stock? I was afraid at first but the dish was great. Service was fantastic, treated us really well even though we were from out of town. Our two wines were perfectly chosen to cover the two halves of the meal. Highly recommended. read more

I wish I could give this restaurant a 10 out of 5 because the whole experience was EXCEPTIONAL in every way. From service to ambience to food. The menu was so well curated and truly special in a city where food is already outstanding- this one is just that much better. The food - the chefs are so focused. As you watch them working in the kitchen you can see that they are not only skilled and talented but that they are truly invested in making each dish perfect. It was like watching an artist in action. Each dish was beautiful to look at but the flavours and textures themselves were extraordinary. The service - each dish was presented by the server with a complete explanation of the origin of the dish as well as the ingredients. If you are thinking of going - don't think about it. Just go! This will be the highlight of your dining experiences in Barcelona. read more

Absolutely the best meal I had in Barcelona. The Caprese was marvelous, creamy and unique. The tuna belly was so tender and well seasoned. The lamb was fantastic too. Great service. read more

Wow, what a culinary journey. Stumbled upon this place by accident. Such creative and innovative food. I must say is the first time I have had my tastes challenged for a long time and in a good way. Likedit do much, took some friends back there a few days later and had the set menu. Tye the risotto with rose petal tempura. read more

AMAZING!!! I can't rave any more about this place. Every dish had history and a short explanation on the kind of ancient cooking method and history of the sauce ect. and I just loved every bite. Lunch ended up be 50 euros for a tasting menu and it was honestly incredible and most memorable dining experience in Barcelona. read more

Meticulous and Attention to Detail are the words/phrases I'd use to describe this very unique tapas restaurant. If you want a uniquely Spanish tapas experience, you'll love Dos Pebrots. We had the pleasure of sitting at the small bar alongside the main kitchen and it was so much fun watching the care and attention that went into each and every dish. When each small plate was delivered, you were told the history of the dish and the connection to the ingredients. A gastronomic experience that will bring your taste buds to life. A truly unique experience. Enjoy! read more

Novel flavors, interesting stories to contextualize the cuisine, very attentive service, and a thoughtful ambience. It was great to be able to see the rhythms of the kitchen as we ate and to hear about why each dish was made the way it was. The pigs nipples were actually quite delicious and the pichón was also very tasty, although the breast was the only really edible part. I would come back for sure! read more

We were really looking forward to dos Pebrots as it is supposed to be a rather nice place. As the mail confirming our order asked us to be on time, we were at the restaurant about 2 minutes before 8 and entered the restaurant, only to hear a rather unfriendly "we open at 8, that's why the doors are closed". Following this "warm welcome", we apologised and waited outside until the doors were opened and the woman who had greeted us so unfriendly completely ignored us. One of us went inside and asked her whether it was okay for us to come in now which she completely ignored, and when we went looking for someone who would have the kindness to show us to our table, she just screamed "where is she going?". The lovely lady who turned out to be the manager kept ignoring us until we decided to look for a restaurant that actually wants guests to feel welcome. We told her exactly that which she just commented with a very professional "bye bye". The food sure is good considering the other reviews and the rest of the team seemed very nice as well, but no food can be so good that you have to accept such a behaviour from a person whose main competence should be customer service and management. Considering that the place was completely empty when we left after waiting for half an hour and that other places were completely full on this night, restaffing would probably be an option to create an atmosphere in which people actually want to spend time. read more

So I called before going there for lunch. The gentleman on the phone was very friendly. He said that that they weren't taking any more reservations for lunch but there was an area of the restaurant for walk-ins and I could go there and if there was space they would seat me. We jumped on our bikes to visit and peddled across town to dine there as it looked good. When we arrived towards the end of lunch the place was maybe 60% full at most. The bar was empty. Many tables were empty. A waitress approached and before I could say anything she said in Spanish "We are full." I explained that I called and that he had told me there was an area of the restaurants for walk-ins...She cut me off and basically told me she had no time for me because she had to work. Nice. I guess this is the service that has resulted in the other very low ratings that are sprinkled in here. If you are the owners or the chefs or anyone else associated with this restaurant there is a simple solution: Fire her. Not recommended at all. read more

excellent! took me on an imaginative trip. Each dish had a fun description of its origin. I am a sucker for history , so to be able to imagine I am eating the same thing as the Romans did centuries ago was so fun. We sat near the kitchen and got to witness the preparation as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. Must go! A very non tourist experience. read more

One of the most unique places I've been to. The menu was super interesting and delicious ! Excellent experience. We came upon it by accident , it was one of the most pleasant surprises in Barcelona. A must for everyone. I guarantee you haven't journeyed down this path before. read more
