Cinc Sentits

$$-$$$, Catalan, Eixample

User Rating: ***** 4.9

Fodor's Review:

The engaging Artal family -- maître d' and owner Rosa, server and eloquent food narrator Amy, and chef Jordi -- a Catalan family with a couple of decades in Canada and the United States, offers a unique Barcelona experience: cutting-edge contemporary cuina d'autor in a minimalist setting, and explained in detail in native English. Three fixed menus -- light, tasting, and omakase (a "trust the chef" surprise menu, including wine pairings of the chef's choice) -- provide a wide range of tastes and textures. At the end of the meal, a special printout reprises the nine mini-courses and seven wines that have just crossed your palate. This is foodie nirvana.

Anniversary

Posted by joannecam from Massachusetts on 11/13/06

Our last evening in Barcelona and Europe was spent celebrating our anniversary at Cinc Sentits. We indulged in the first tasting menu: 7 courses plus two little gifts from the chef plus wine with each course for 95E pp. The entire experience was sublime. The food was just the right quantity for so many courses, it was as beautiful to look at as to taste and it was expertly explained and served by the sister of the chef. It was a perfect end to our perfect vacation.

Birthday treat for foodies

Posted by Matt from Nottingham on 11/6/06

Celebrated my 42nd Birthday with my wife and it could not have been a better present. The food was perfect and although we were first in at 10pm it filled up quickly. Service was impecable and the owners very friendly and helpful. Watch out for the local spanish desert wine. Its like treacle.
