While the front of the restaurant offers a small tapas and drinks on stools with barrel tables experience, the locals instead populate the outdoor side area (interior to the restaurant) and the larger back area (larger than it looks from the street) where they order larger meals, including baked pasta dishes. Many of the dishes served in the back are family style & intended to be shared. This is a good El Born/La Ribera neighborhood staple.

The chefs table is right in front of a window looking into the kitchen so I was able to get a front row seat to view the action. I was pleased with the wait staff and the main waiter for the table might be the best waiter I've had at a restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious. The menu is fairly simple with cautious creative elements in some dishes. The flavor profiles were interesting as they mixed cuisines. For example, cod with green mole. The Spaniard and Mexican flavors worked well together making a delightful dish. The menu was able to play with flavors to be impactful but not too extraordinary which played a beautiful yet delicate balance. After our tasting menu was over, we were invited to the rooftop of the hotel to take in the views of the city while also enjoying a drink. An excellent end to an excellent dinner. I think Moments is a slept on restaurant which many more should try.

The meal is spaced as the dishes are ready so it's not overwhelming when you're ordering a handful of dishes It's difficult to get walk in seating and I would HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation.

With so many great places to eat, fitting this place in midday really helped us maximize the culinary tour de force that was our trip to Barcelona. Our waiter, Tomaso, was a delight. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and knew exactly when to come to our table and when to give us space. At the end of the meal we had a lovely conversation and he told us why Barcelona is such an international city and how easy it was to be a transplant from Italy. Almost as good as our meal was the environment. There was one other person dining there, someone my partner aptly described as an "international man of mystery." He was gregarious and clearly living his best life. Every dish, he would ask Tomaso to pick out a wine and each time he would say, "Money is no object!" or that the price did not matter. He loved everything Tomaso brought and it did not appear at thought Tomaso took advantage of this man's willingness to spend top dollar, even though the man asked it his name was, "To-mah-to." This place lives up to everything you hear about Barcelona being gastronomic paradise with more Michelin stars per capita than just about anywhere.

This was an OK experience (and OK is not bad), but my first counsel, even if you are big eaters…read morelike 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.

Most dishes are seafood based since it is Barcelona after all. The dishes were innovative and pleasing to the eyes. I loved the fish dishes. I also loved the citrusy dessert as it cleansed my palate for the last dish. The service was lovely. I feel like it's an advantage to do tasting menus solo cos you get more food, in my opinion.

The flavors were pretty unique. The plates were on the small side but I felt satisfied, though not full, at the end of the meal. My favorites were the fried squash blossom with pickled bonito, the aubergine and cuttlefish in Catalan green curry, the picanha and chanterelle mushrooms, and the watermelon and yogurt. 1 star off: Service was very cold. There were two women serving the dining room, and both had a snobbish demeanor. Every time we asked for more drinks, more water, more bread, etc., we felt like we were inconveniencing them. We never got most of the things we asked for, even after repeated requests. They would say, "I have not forgotten" but then off they go somewhere else. They clearly have forgotten or did not want to serve us. At the conclusion of our meal, as we are preparing to leave, they poured us more water. Thanks...
