Reviews
Absolutely mesmerizing World No. 2 restaurant, every dish is so creatively presented and tastes delicious. Love chilling out at the outdoor courtyard after meal for dessert and coffee. Definitely will come back again!
Absolutely 10/10. We weren’t always fans for creative cuisines in the past, and honestly didn’t do too much research before booking it (only know it is world no. 2), so we didn’t know what we were getting into, but man, what an amazing experience!
Since it’s our first time, we chose the classic tasting menu at 255€. Not only were we impressed by the creativity, thinking and craft that went into the menu, but also the fact that there were 28 courses! It might actually be a bit difficult to finish all courses just because it’s sooo much food, but it’s definitely a great value for money on all fronts - food, service and the vibe. The patio they had in the back is really cute and we enjoyed our desserts there.
One little drawback is the cocktails. This is definitely not their strong suit, so I guess we will try wine pairing next time.
The menu ranges from oysters, foie gras, to pigeon. The experience beats most if not all of our fine dining experiences in nyc, and would absolutely come back again!

I’m very big on trying new restaurants. Having 3 Michelin stars and ranked the #3 restaurant in the WORLD, by The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, I expected SO much more. Here are my takeaways:
1. Style over substance. The amount of food with respect to the size of the novelty plates, brass elephant they brought the smallest portion of food on etc, was honestly insulting. More food for the price for sure. Save the flare for something else. It almost felt distracting from what wasn’t that great of a food selection to me. There wasn’t a dish that was absolutely memorable and you would expect it to be for such a highly ranked restaurant.
2. The sommelier bought out a bottle of sparkling wine. While explaining it and opening the bottle he SPILLS some of the wine. Rookie move. He panicked. Apologizes and says it wasn’t too much that spilled. Pours our glasses. Walks away… NEVER COMES BACK. Spill still on the floor! I had to explain to the waiter who saw the spill and apologized and cleaned it up. It was maybe an ounce or two of wine but for the price? I want it in my glass not on the floor. Comped or given another complimentary pour? Nope.
3. The owner/chef was in the building. Would have been a nice touch to come to the table and introduce himself like most restaurants of that caliber I have been to have done. And it was a birthday dinner at that. Honestly got a sense of ego from him considering his face is on everything. Well bring your face to our table too and say hello and happy birthday.
4. They did bring out this elaborate and gigantic faux birthday cake that had a bite sized piece of chocolate cake inside for my birthday. I did appreciate that flare for the dramatics with that at least.
Most definitely had way better experiences at other restaurants while in Spain. I thanked my friends for going along with my reservation, but they most definitely were not happy.

Best restaurant in the world, in my opinion. From start to finish they delivered food and experiences that were professional, enjoyable and impressive. In terms of booking, you may need to reserve one year in advance or get lucky by calling and/or booking when there is a last minute cancellation.
Amazing food, really fast service and impossibly large portions. If you leave hungry, it's your own fault.
Good food, great value for money, good for groups, we'll be back.
The location is fantastic, but when it comes to authentic good tasting food, this place is the biggest let down. I failed to read the reviews before sitting down. Absolutely avoid if you care the slightest about food.
Well, this was the best restaurant experience I have ever had. The tasting menue was sublime, wine paring perfect. Service was like a balet, but at the same time expertly personal and fun.
No dress code is enforced, saw jeans and even shorts.
The best meals ever costs a fair bit, but it is worth it!

A very nice restaurant, the food is tasty and well prepared, the service is fast and friendly, a nice experience!
It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing tapas, mains and desserts 🍰. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.
I have never complained in my whole life about food as i can normally eat most things however the food from this place was the worst i’ve ever eaten
Having not checked the reviews before hand we ordered a bolognese and a Tuna and tomato baguette what was served shocked us. The meals tasted as if they were bought in a supermarket and heated up which to be honest i wouldn’t have minded if it was cheap!! NO it was more expensive than most places we ate at during our holiday. A glass of coke zero was 4.90 ridiculous! Would never spend my money here again simply awful.

Very helpful service, we chose the food according to the pictures from the mobile phone, because we don't speak Spanish. The chef agreed and the food was delicious. We recommend visiting. Zdenek and his family from czech republic.
Great and tasty food. The restaurant is neat and tidy. Beautiful and the staff is friendly.
Was here for a large banquet and the area was absolutely fantastic, and the servers were mostly great (one bar tender seemed to be having a bad day). Food was pretty good.
Very disappointed.
My husband and I went to celebrate our anniversary at Quique Dacosta. We love to try new Michelin restaurants, and have been to quite a few different locations. We wanted to try this one since it has 3 Michelin stars and is 1/160(roughly) restaurants with that reputations and quality. I like to mention that we once a month has been to Michelin restaurant La finca, by Suzi Diaz, who only have 1 Michelin star, but have a higher quality and excellence than what we got from Quique.
-
The food was blend and tasteless. It had no personality, and the seafood gave me Omega 3 capsule feeling. There was nothing exiting and new about the menu, there was no red thread between the story telling. To be honest it lacked flavour..
However I need to say the 2 starters where great, and the idea about the acts, to bad it stopped inside and that you didn't follow through with the artistic feeling we got when we came.
The waiter asked if something where wrong with the food, and I explained my thoughts and dissapontment. however nothing were changed and she just apologized and kept serving dishes, that we where not able to finish up. For me it seems like the Chef were more interested in walking around in the restaurant chatting up Spanish friends rather than giving all his customers the experience they came for.
In conclusion:
Not worth it. To much money compared to what you get.
Blend and tastless food, and feels like the team/chef has given up.

The tostada bula and bula burger were our favorites
I've been here several times. A large selection of food by deciding every time for something else. So far, I was satisfied every time. The atmosphere always the same, we are nice to welcome us, the service is fine.
Our second time coming here since in the area. Amazing food, little different than traditional tapas. We were served fast and staff made sure to introduce us with all the options
The service was impeccable and most of the food was incredible. However, they provide rubber utensils for three of the dishes, and they taste strongly of the soap/dishwasher they are cleaned with. It's shocking to consider yourself one of the top restaurants in the world but to overlook this detail and to serve dishes that taste like soap. We spent over a thousand dollars to eat here so this is not acceptable for the type of calibre this restaurant wants to be.
Great experience. Outstanding service, fantastic imaginative food tasting menu consists of 25 dishes. The waiter explains the ingredients, provenance, and preparation techniques for each dish. The presentation is beautiful and bespoke for each dish. Plan for about five hours.
Amazing food and super friendly and efficient service. Tapas, but with a modern twist, interesting sauces to complement and superb quality of ingredients. A rare gem, highly recommended.
Sitio agradable donde cenar en estas calurosas noches de verano. Algunos platos me sorprendieron gratamente, como el revuelto, las croquetas morellanas o los postres. Por otro lado, las tellinas no las echaré de menos. En general, comida y atención bien. Lo malo los mosquitos, pero como en tantos otros sitios con terraza, y más este año que se han reproducido a sus anchas.
Amazingly simple Foie gras, grilled calamari so fresh, and shrimp baby eels is a must try!
Lively restaurant with a large menu and wine selection. The olives they bring at the start are delicious. We tried a half portion of ponchas con setas (beans and mushrooms - surprisingly light and flavorful), half portion of the house longaniza sausage (very good) and the full plate of the conchinilla frita. Finished with the lemon sorbet, which was a perfect refresher. For two people, would probably do the half plate of the cochinilla frita as it was a lot of food! We left very full and happy.
The food was fine. Not very good but still edible. We bought paella and water. Water is 3.50 euros. They don't tell you how much each drink costs so beware. Only outdoor seating. Food tasted very frozen, and the mussels in the paella didn't taste fresh. Also, there is no wifi here, but there is a hotspot nearby that tells you that this place is a scam. This place is highly overpriced and wasn't worth the price. Would not recommend.
After having been exposed to the top restaurants of the world from childhood, raised by extreme foodies, Disfrutar is in a class of its own.
This was hands down, the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. I do not say that lightly.
Every dish has you captivated in absolute astonishment, forcing you to question everything that you have ever considered food or a dining experience.
Unpretentious, absolute wonder in every bite, simply amazing.
Michelin star restaurant after Michelin star restaurant, Disfrutar is on a completely different level FAR above all the rest.
It’s almost hard to write a review grand enough to properly honor the treasure that is this place.
Absolutely extraordinary, culinary genius. Thank you for bringing your art to this world. So grateful to have been there and hope to someday return.

Such an incredible experience. The service is impeccable. The wine pairing , spot on. The presentation of the dishes is pure art and the flavours and textures theatre in your mouth. A once in a lifetime experience, I hope to be fortunate enough to repeat. A gem in Barcelona & deserves
We ordered pizza and calamares
Pizza was probably bought from the supermarket and then heated.
Calamares weren’t fresh something you can easily find in the supermarket ( frozen packages) and fry at home.
True disappointment and waste of money.

A place with a very beautiful atmosphere, especially the terrace in a separate area surrounded by plants. nice relaxing lighting, subtle music sound. Charismatic chefs and a team in perfect cooperation with each other.
Creations inspired by traditional cuisine in their own well-known way.
The journey begins from the moment you enter the space, perfect service where the guest has the option to express the flow time he wishes between the dishes.you feel special since for each guest there are wine options with or without alcohol. the same wine in 2 variations. with or without. a unique experience with mystery, pleasure, enjoyment in all its glory. Congratulations disfrutar

Amazing experience! Flavour combinations were fantastic. Dinner was approximately 4 hours (15 courses).
I had some ham and cheese with wine. Prices are great and food tasty
I've tried the place two years ago and came back. The croquetas are really worth trying, specially the lamb ones, which are not that common.
Nice place with lots of locals and plenty of different food to choose from.

I wish I could give this place a 0 star, and I wish I had googled it before to see the reviews from other clients. Food was so horrible, ordered various tapas and OMG, the food ruined my whole day. THEY WILL NEVER SEE MY MONEY, not even if they were the only place open in town. And it's not freshly made food, it's frozen food. So disgusting my goodness. NO NO
First of all: The overall experience was outstanding!
Every single dish made us smiling (wow), the service was amazing (attentive and friendly) and the atmosphere wonderful.
It was the best wine pairing we every had - by far! Many thanks to Miguel (Head Sommelier). Noone ever explained so well, why he exactly choosed that wine for the dish, shared his vision and all his thoughts with the pairing ... in a lovely way that you feel like beeing at a friend - extraordinary!

Absolutely incredible experience. We were lucky enough to have the 'Living Table' experience in the private room through the wine cellar. This was hands down the best meal I've had in the world. 🙏 Thank you so much for the humbling experience and service. I hope I get to come back sometime in the near future.
One server that was very forgetful. Told us food was really big but was normal.
Had a fly in my beer. Asked for my bill 3 times. Forgot my coffee. Still waiting to pay. 25 minutes later.....

Wonderful food, amazing atmosphere, and the hosts, could not sing higher praise, Crystal our server was very kind and patient with us non Spanish speakers.
If you're nearby do come and visit, you will not be disappointed!!! ❤️❤️❤️

To this day almost three years ago it is still my best culinary experience ever.
Compared to other Michelin starred restaurants I’ve been to; Disfrutar is not overly complicating it in terms of tastes. They take well known and proven combinations and mix them up with amazing presentation skills and the creativity is impressive.
I will be back one day 🤩

Me encanta. Fast, beautiful, tasty and good price
Ordered seafood paella, I mean just bad very bad. Can barely find any seafood… at the same time I saw this girl sitting in the restaurant next to this place she have also ordered the same thing but her’s look so so much better! They are just trying to fool tourists! Bad service! Looking for tables is like begging them to give me food. It’s not even cheap…
DiverXo has 3 Michelin stars so that is plenty enough reason to go. We dined at DiverXo in May 2023 and we made the reservations in Jan 2023. Fortunately, the staff all spoke English which helped as a tourist. We had an 8 pm reservation and finished with our meal around 11:30 pm. Everything we ate was DELICIOUS and beautifully/interestingly presented. The menu seems to be Spanish cuisine fused with flavors from Asia like Japan, Thailand, Singapore, etc. They give you a piece of paper prior to every course so you know what you are eating. We had 14 courses and loved every single one. Some of the highlights were: "45 days aged nigiri. Pyrenean ecosystem" (aged trout), "frosty salad from the bottom of the fridge and it's sea garnish" (salad as the entree with turbot as a garnish - this had an amazing lettuce dressing), "8 second wok-caressed" (baby eels), and Japanese bonbons (mochi petite fours).
Make the trip out to Madrid to eat at DiverXo. It is absolutely worth it.

Amazing experience at this restaurant. The food is great and the service even better. The waitress was super kind and helpful. I can totally recommend this restaurant!
The Cheesecake tastes a little to cheesy though

Terrible customer service. It's absolutely appalling. Not a single smile or thank you. A coke is 4.90 euros, while the place next door is 2.90. When asked about the price, the response is that you are in the city center and this is normal price. Avoid this place.
the paella didnt look like on the pictures and one was a little burnt, since its the first paella I had I cant really say a lot about the taste but I guess it was fine! little water was 4.50 (=very expensive)
We ordered a sizable selection of different dishes from the menu and were pleasantly surprised to find each one of them extraordinarily tasteful!
Waiter was a delight to interact with and very helpful! Kudos!

All the dishes were fantastic. Try the tiramisu!
Great place. Excellent atmosphere, food, and service. Really pleasant waiter 😀 The Zamburiñas were cooked to perfection, and the steak tartar was well seasoned; although I think it was veal. Although I had not booked, they were able to fund me a table for two. 👌
Excellent food and service. Huge portions. Highly recommended.
My favorite restaurant in Vigo!!
We went there for our Christmas party. Fast and efficient service, menus reasonably priced for the occasion and good atmosphere.
Even though we were left to the outdoor tables, in the cold Spanish winter, because we didn’t have a reservation - and to be honest I didn’t even notice all tables taken indoors - the food was so good that it made up for it.
We enjoyed my sister's wedding there, the food was excellent and the staff absolutely helpful. Great restaurant to visit and enjoy
The steak was very good but so so much over priced 45 euros. Other good restaurants can get just as good for a larger steak for half the money. The manager needs to take a day off and try other establishments where you get good value for money
Good local food catering to both locals and tourists. Their menu is available in English, French, Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese and Russian. Pretty impressive I'd say. Both food as service was great. Not a long wait for food and fair prices for what you get. I'd recommend their mixed platter with local specialties. We ordered 6 dishes to share and they were served 1 or 2 at a time with not a lot of time in between basically turning it in a several course meal. Staff was excellent. Réservation recommended, outdoors was fully reserved and it was off season.
The restaurant was good and the food was nice
The food was very good. The waiter was severely lacking in any form of conviviality or charm. The terrace is quite plain in appearance but clean. Again, the food was good!!
Good service, good food and amazing dessert
Absolutely unforgettable experience. The food, the wine selection, the staff, the venue was absolutely highest culinary experience. It is worth every dime you spend. Congratulations to all involved in creating such an experience. We will be back next year. We had the Menu on August 13th 2022.
Liked that we could have the apero in the outside area together with the first bites!
We loved the simplicity of some plates combined with some very nice, more complex parts and flavors matching together!
How good was the donut with Truffle ?!?!?!?
We didn’t go with the wine pairing and felt like we were well assisted in picking out wines by the bottle!
Even though we were the last guests in the restaurant, we could still have our digestif on the outside area again and we didn’t feel like we had to leave.
Great experience of Quique Dacosta !

Attended a baptism celebration. Great service a good food. The place allows for multiple simultaneous events
Incredible food and such a friendly staff, I highly recommend it!
What a treat! Excellent service, wonderful food, amazing value for money. This place is an absolute gem with a really diverse menu including some of the Aragón region classics. The huevos rotos con pulpo were delicious!!! Highly recommended!!!
Excellent service!
Placed near Madrid serrounded by green areas huge and different restaurant s you can hold there business meetings family events and wedding s the staff are so nice and helpful
Tasty generous portions of good food, friendly service and well priced. The frogs legs are a must. Book ahead!
Sometimes when you receive massive portions for a relatively cheap price, the quality isn't that great. That wasn't the case at Palo Palo, as my codillo de cerdo (ham hock) was absolutely delicious. The man serving us was great too. All in all, highly recommended, just remember to come hungry!
Visited this restaurant for dinner. They even provide the menu in multiple languages. The restaurant is well frequented, a reservation is recommended. You should take your time, since it is so busy, everything takes a little longer. It would be nice if the staff could speak a little better English. The food tasted very good, but the prices are really high. Unfortunately they forgot my food. After my companions had already been served several dishes, the waiter asked me with a hand if I don't eat anything. I had to remind him what I ordered. A little annoying, so I got my dish extremely late.
Awesome place for authentic Aragon cuisine! The starters were great, the main course even better! The wine and the dessert was a bit average, but overall a great experience. Can highly recommend
One of my best dinners experiences I ever had. You have to queue very early, since it gets full very quickly…and maybe wait for 30 minutes, but the food is really good, fast delivered…two plates per person is enough. Just go try it. A little bit expensive, but worthy.
5th stop on our Spanish east coast gastronomic tour. You can read the other reviews on my profile or through my challenge list.
The devil is in the detail.
That’s what is interesting here. Apart for a very few minor ones, nothing is left to chance or approximation. From the start to the end, you’re taken in a journey. Just sit down and relax.
Just like Abac, there’s a strong focus on the experience. Abac is playful. Here the fascinating thing is focus on the details in the experience.
It’s clearly a solid 3 stars.

The Premium Chuleton aged 50 days is well worthy to taste. Some of the staff are quite nice some other don’t.
Good wine but served too cold.
Pricy.

Simply the best. Good vibes good food and good staff.
The seafood dish was delish along with everything else. Could have used a bit more honey on the cheese plate.
Excellent food and very polite personal.
A very underwhelming culinary experience on our end.
After hearing all the hype, we dutifully staked out the reservation website and got a spot a few months before our trip. If you're looking to visit you have to be pretty quick in this front. They do rolling reservations 2 months out, and within 5 hours of September spots being open, 95% of them were already gone.
When we arrived, the setting of the restaurant and the customer service were absolutely top-notch. Each table is very private, with opaque curtains separating you from the rest of the guests. These aspects continued throughout, with our waitress dutifully checking in on us and really going the extra mile to describe all the dishes. All the art, statues and decor of the restaurant were very cool and definitely felt like a truly unique restaurant. Couldn't be happier in that regard.
Where our experience started to fall flat was the food itself. While it was all plated beautifully, the taste of the dishes left something to be desired. Out of the dozen or so plates we received with the tasting menu, none of them truly stood out in those "Wow!" tasting moments that I was looking for. Will I remember the goat brain served on top of a goat skull? Sure, but not because of the exquisite taste; it became readily evident for us that it was going to be a "style over substance" sort of meal. While that has it's merits, I was hoping the experience at a 3 Michelin star restaurant was not going to fall into that category.
Would I recommend DiverXO for someone looking to get the best food out of 600€? No. In my opinion this meal was much more about the flashiness and pomp of the experience rather than the life-changing food and flavors. If you bear this in mind I think you won't be setting yourself up for disappointment like we did.

Food is really good and servers are very nice! A little bit too noisy maybe, but I guess it depends on how noisy your neighbours are... 😅
This was my first Michelin Star experience and also the best gastronomic experience I’ve had in my life. I would call it “Disney of gastronomy”. It wasn’t just the taste of the food, which was so carefully thought of by bringing the local taste to a delightful experience. It was also the entire experience, from the small details, the amazing service, the explanation, the text on the menu, the pillow for my purse! Everything was absolutely perfect. Quique also greeted us on our table and was also very pleasant to talk to. Congrats!
Waiter outside unfriendly and on his mobile phone!
Nice place, large enough, very good tapas.
Great Michelin star restaurant. In my opinion very similar experience to the well known Per se in NYC (but way more affordable). Quique came out during the dinner and spent some time with us explaining his dishes. The staff were extremely attentive, fun and polite, which made it even more enjoyable. The dishes were original and tasty, the only dish that could be taken off the menu (in my opinion) was the rabbit towards the end. You've had too much food by this time and for a heavily fish based menu, this dish is unnecessary. All other dishes are spectacular and extremely tasty. A wonderful experience, great ambience. MUST GO. I would definitely repeat the experience. Congrats to the team!
Overall our experience at Restaurante San Francisco was very good. We were there for an afternoon wedding. The garden was beautiful with mature trees for plenty of shade. The sound system kept squawking during the whole ceremony which was quite annoying.
There are plenty of different banquet halls for different sizes of events.
Our meal was served buffet style and there was an incredible variety. What was not explained to us was that they would start with the cold items and then move on to the hot items, so most everybody filled up on the first food and we're too full to eat the hot food.
I want to finish mentioning that the staff was very professional and courteous.

This was the first 3 star stop of a epic food trip through Spain and Portugal and was the perfect way to start. Loved beginning outside then moving inside after drinks and snacks on the patio. Great service and incredible food.
Friendly service. Offered us a Menu in English. Nice food and good prices!
THIS PLACE IS REALLY BAD! FIRST I ASKED IF THE MEAT IS WITHOUT FAT, AND IT CAME ALL WITH ALOT OF FAT. SECOND THERE WAS A HAIR ON MY PLATE. THIRD THE FRIES WERE ALL WET AND COLD AND WITHOUT SALT. BESIDES THAT IT ALL SMELLED VERY BAD.
Good food and very tasty, shame service is not that great.
Excellent bar and excellent food... great variety of tapas. Menu is great and portions quite big... price is good too
In few words • Weird waiter. Mixture between rude, stoned and tired, but funny to see him work. Food meh with some ok things. Average price for the portions in the bar area. Didn't try the Menu in the restaurant area. Decoration was cool.
Buenos montaditos
Amazing place for a wedding and spectacular food
Typical Spanish restaurant, a preferred spot by the locals for enjoying some beer with tapas.
The food is tasty and comes in hearty quantities. We loved the pinchos.
The service is fast and polite. There is also comfortable outdoor seating. The prices are affordable.
