this was one of the best meals we have had - and the pairing of the wine (we had the tasting menu and the cheaper of the two wine options) was fantastic. Fantastic food: clear, intense tastes, and the bitter chocolate mousse and olive oil ice cream was extraordinarily good. The wine choices really added to the whole experience. Wonderful... more

A year ago, working as a chef de partie in a Michelin-starred Barcelona restaurant and before Jordi Artal won his Michelin star, I summarised my meal at Cinc Sentits: "I can now say with a great deal of confidence and without hesitation that Cinc Sentits is the best restaurant in Barcelona. It all comes down to what I'm always saying... more

We love eating in Michelin starred restaurants and enjoying local cuisine so this restaurant was absolutely perfect. All of the ingredients are sourced locally, and some dishes are a twist on catalan staples (eg the 'pan con tomate' which was made with an exquisite tomato sorbet!). We had the Sensaciones tasting menu which was well worth the 65 Euros. We... more

If you want an experience far out of the normal try dinner at Cinc Sentis! The tasting menu and the great wine menu that is served along with the great dishes makes the evening something difficult to forget! I have been to several Michelin star restaurants but this is one of the best, with a chef and a staff that... more

This is a truly outstanding restaurant. The food is creative, precisely cooked and the service was very professional and friendly. It is quite expensive but well worth it, in my opinion. Some reviewers have commented on portion sizes and stingy amounts of wine, but this is in my view unfair. At least I left the place feeling wonderful- just full... more

I thought hard about mind blowing as a header,so 60s,yet there is no other word to describe the food,one goes away with a desire to deconstruct everything in one's own repertoire.Cinc Sentits was the final stop on an amazing gastrotour of Spain and shows everything that is so good about Spanish cuisine at the moment,innovation,exactness,proper use of outstanding ingredients,all the... more

We ate yesterday at Cinq Sentits, and having dined around the world, can rate this as possibly the best meal I have ever had. The service was impeccable, but unpretentious -knowledgeable about the foods and wines, but never cloying. The foie gras was truly spectacular, as was the iberian suckling pig cooked sous vide. The focus on local ingredients cooked... more

My wife and I just got back from a one week vacation in Barcelona. I selected this restaurant after reading some of the favorable reviews, but I guess either the favorable reviewers or I went to a different restaurant. I took two of the premier tasting menus with wine pairings, so that if the meal was bad is wouldn't be... more

The wine pairing, I'm afraid, is a complete rip-off. The pours were so small I was embarrassed for the restaurant. The food is fine, although a bit overrated. I've eaten at over 100 restaurants in Barcelona, and while this one is very consistent on food quality, the 50 euro wine pairing was so smugly delivered and stingily offered that it... more
