    Overall: for my 100th review I decided to review the pinnacle of creativity, imagination, and gastronomy only found in the best of Michelin restaurants. Lasarte by Martin Berasategui hits all the notes of fine dining with ~13 ish courses of unthinkable combinations. Since the menu always changes I'll highlight what they do exceptionally well overall. Ambience/Decor/Service: I'll start off by mentioning that their accommodations for food preferences/allergies go above and beyond. They communicated very quickly over email about what they were gonna substitute and printed the different menu out when we arrived. As per usual the team of waiter/waitress sommelier and chef described the dishes down to every detail as if they were in charge themselves and were open to answering any questions on the process. While the restaurant was very simple fine dining decor wise, the artistic creativity in the food made up for it. Food: taste wise and quality wise it was everything you'd expect but what really stood out was just the creativity in the dishes. I can not even begin to describe it as my simple mind can not comprehend the 3 star gastronomy that they cooked in the kitchen. The blend of flavors and specifically the ordering of them. The texture from bubbly to crunchy/crispy to tender smoothness. Similarly, the way the plates were a very neutral white almost allows the chef to artistically create the pieces on a blank canvas. Lasarte hits on every possibility one could imagine in food.

    The restaurant layout is very nice, but nothing distinctive from other three Michelin star restaurants. It is however quiet and perfect for a quiet evening. Food is sensational and service is friendly and professional. Wine pairing is spot-on. It does not provide an exciting evening, but one that is relaxing and very enjoyable.

    Even if you are a leading, Michelin starred restaurant in the city of Barcelona, arrogance should never be the leading trait anyone should use to describe your restaurant. Lasarte, bottom line, is disappointment. We came here for our honeymoon. We went with the tasting menu. Our wait staff requested drink orders and I requested a cocktail that contained tequila. She looked at me with judgement and disgust. Okay, a glass of wine it is. Went with the house recommendation. The courses came out. One of the courses was spilled on my shirt. Of course at a nice restaurant we dressed to the nines. While a waiter promptly came to our table and provided a cleaning aid, the mistake was otherwise overlooked and the management never followed up. Ironically, a wait staff made a mistake at a table adjacent to us to which the management showed up and provided a bottle of wine on the house. Let alone the Ambiance and appears of the restaurant is elevated. No matter who the guest, all guests should be treated the same, at least openly. Inconguent behavior and judgment of drink choices isn't how a several euro meal should be summarized. Would spend my well earned money somewhere else.

    Absolutely the most expensive meal I've had in my life, but I don't regret it one bit and it was worth it. My experience at Lasarte was truly a cut above the rest, and at those 3 Michelin star prices, I was expecting it to be! To be transparent with cost, it was about 330 euros per guest with the cava and spring water at the beginning of March 2023. The ambiance was very elegant and clean, with soft music playing and the waiters changing our cutlery and plates with every course. It was like a choreographed waltz and I kept saying "thank you" with every change because I was not used to this kind of service LOL. The menu we got to try was very seafood heavy which was a huge win in my book. Seafood is so pricey in the states so it made the meal feel way more worth it! We got glasses of cava to go with our meal and it was nice! I'm not a big wine person but I still enjoyed it. I'll attach photos of each dish and the menu to show rather than tell, but each dish was a marvel. Even the smallest components of the dishes were immaculately prepared and seasoned to perfection! The only dish I didn't love was the squid with egg yolk, but even then, that one was still pretty good. My friend and I were expecting to still be hungry afterwards but after FOURTEEN dishes and a round of fresh bread later, I was absolutely demolished. I don't think I've ever had a dining experience like Lasarte, and I look back on it so fondly. My first 3 Michelin star restaurant, and I had such a great experience!

    We had dinner at ABaC, Enigma and Restaurante Hofmann prior to dining at Lasarte and Lasarte blows them all out of the water. They are certainly worthy of 3 Michelin stars and should absolutely be on the San Pellegrino top 50 list. Every dish was exceptional in both taste and presentation with service to match. Looking forward to returning!

    Made reservations at Lasarte Restaurant well in advance of our trip to Spain after comparing the menus of several three Michelin star restaurants. When the night came, we were excited. The service was impeccable. From the moment we walked through the door to the minute our coats and bags were handed back to us 4+ hours later, not a movement nor word was done or spoken out of place. Each dish was described meticulously and parts of service almost resembled a well choreographed dance. When it came to food, some dishes were absolute show stoppers while others left quite a bit to desire. My favorite of the night on this night's menu was actually not even listed! It was the starter featuring bruleed foie gras with a line of creamy onion sauce. It was velvety, creamy, and savory! A couple other standout dishes included the confit cod with a sour cream, mustard, and kale sauce and the squid tartare with egg yolk. The texture was playful and it was a very unique dish. Some other dishes really missed the mark for me including a seafood salad which was so briny, it was equivalent to licking the ocean. If the intent was to capture the sea, it went above and beyond but it was just an unpleasant flavor profile. The pigeon was also delivered blue. I know that pigeon and other game fowl are often cooked to just medium rare but this guy could probably fly if pieced together again. In all seriousness, $280 for the amount of dishes served with the service presented was very worth the experience.

    I visited back in June 2023. One of the best meals I've ever had, but my rating is addressing the customer service / response I received regarding a potential food poisoning concern at Lasarte. For 3 Michelin starred restaurants, I like to fast for at least 12-24 hours before the meal to save my appetite. We had a reservation on 6/2 for 1pm and ended at approximately 5pm - we both really enjoyed the experience as well as every dish. It was definitely one of our favorite Michelin star restaurant experiences, and we enjoyed meeting the chef and management team as well at the end. About 14 hours after the meal, I woke up at 2am with extreme nausea, vomiting, body aches, and bowel issues for the rest of the night. I had not eaten or drank anything besides water after dining at Lasarte due to our meal ending close to 5pm and us still being quite full the rest of the day. The symptoms went away after about 36 hours, but I unfortunately had to lie in bed for the rest of my time in Barcelona with terrible body aches and nausea, not being able to eat anything. I understand the risk of raw seafood, but this has never happened to me before. My partner did not experience anything at all so I do think it may have just been a one-off instance as I have a stronger stomach than he does. What I felt was disrespectful was that I wrote an email informing them that this happened shortly after I felt better, and the customer reception department at Lasarte wrote back that I did not have food poisoning and that this must be true because they "asked other guests" if they felt bad after the lunch. There is absolutely no way that they would have reached out to their guests asking how they felt after the lunch / if they had food poisoning. The response left me with a bitter feeling - I would have simply appreciated an acknowledgment that this incident may have occurred and that they would monitor this or keep an eye out, not an attempt at gaslighting me that I did not have food poisoning. Most of the courses consisted of raw seafood and it only takes one tiny bad oyster or something else to cause food poisoning. I would not have blamed it on Lasarte and would have seen it as simply a one off incident. Otherwise, this was one of my favorite meals - if it weren't for the response I received, I would have rated Lasarte a full 5 stars for sure.

    Located only 15m from the crowds shopping on Passeig de Gràcia, the main dining area is sealed off from all that noise. Strangely, the spacious, modern design feels kind of dark, even with 4m ceilings and sunlight pouring in through a dozen light shafts. Wierd. The service is on the very formal side of fine dining, but the staff was personable, helping me with a few Catalonian nuances I did not understand. The food was excellent, especially the pickled oyster / hibiscus / shiso granita (sorbet) and the crustacean ravioli / burrata (cheese). Of course I'll return. 2023 05 11. M3.

    Lasarte is a fantastic restaurant located near a lot of high end shopping areas. The entrance is through a hotel, and once we got seated the service was incredible. This place gives you a lot of high end ingredients and for the price its very worth it. We got white truffle added to one of our dishes for 25 euros per plate and it was delicious. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to experience a 3 star Michelin for a decent price in Barcelona.

    Appetizers!  Tastebuds were astounded

    Imaginative almost surreal dishes delivered with military precision! Went as a family with teenage children. The staff were wonderful from the head through the waiters. The food was amazing, imaginative preparations of regionally sourced ingredients including the sublime Galician aged ox steak. The attention to detail and military cadence of delivery and clearance of dishes was a pleasure to behold. I asked for a Catalan wine and the bottle suggested was excellent. Would recommend unreservedly!

    Merda Santa (that's Catalan for Holy S*&t!), this place is phenomenal! It has very VERY well-deserved 3 stars from Michelin. The wow factor kicks in for the ambience, the food and the service. It ain't cheap but this sure ain't Applebee's, papi. The beautiful old exterior belies the ultra-modern interior with soft mood lighting. Every other corner is a different dramatic modernist vista, including looking down into the kitchen. The look and feel is a very elegant space ship. The food influences here are more Spanish than specifically Catalonian, but you really can't go wrong if you order anything involving olives, tomatoes or seafood, oranges too. I highly recommend the Tasting Menu to get a lot of different dishes in smaller quantities. They even customized it for two picky eaters and a sometime vegetarian. Service was so precise it was almost like very polite robots carefully orchestrated with perfect timing. One of my character flaws is always asking impertinent personal questions of the staff. These folks handle a nosey American with polite professional non-answers to intrusive questions, and then quickly get back to business. LOL, I can be VERY persistent. No one laughed at my bad John Wayne accent when I speak Spanish, nor at my partner's peculiar born-in-Miami-but-Cuban-dude accent. There was no"hey that isn't perfect Castillian Spanish" from these highly professional elegant folks. Even the mens room was incredibly beautiful. I recommend a trip to the loo even if nature doesn't call, and assume the ladies' room is equally stunningly designed. After dinner there are so many places nearby to step out for a drink. The neighborhood is also lively until very late at night, even by Spanish standards of take the kids out for dinner at midnight.

    This was one of the best meals we've ever had! We made reservation ahead of time and they were very accommodating on my food restrictions. They have different menu you can chose from and they also do a la carte. We opted for the Tasting Menu with some modifications for my menu since I'm pregnant and couldn't eat some of the raw foods listed in the tasting menu. Everything we had from beginning to end is AMAZING! Service was also great. We were so full after the meal. Lasarte definitely deserves the 3 Michelin stars! Highly recommended!

It was almost like a paella curry, which was still rich and delicious. - Squid Sandwich (10/10) This is hands down the best appetizer I've ever had. The squid was packed with flavor and the mayo sauce they used paired perfectly. Order one per person, and be prepared to order another to go. - Garlic Shrimp (8/10) Solid entree paired with sourdough bread.

It was cooked perfectly, and came with a potato crust on the bottom and Foie Gras on top. Definitely a must order.

You get to see all the 'action' and interact with the friendly and often funny staff. Everything in the menu we tried was fantastic, but a few standouts for me were the squid sandwich (do yourself a favor and try it, even if you aren't a "squid person" the bread is fresh, and the butter garlic sauce they use should be sold in bottles at the supermarket), the lobster croquet was refreshing, and the aged beef steak with foie and truffle sauce was delicious and cooked to perfection.
