The engaging Artal family—maître d' and owner Rosa, server and eloquent food narrator Amy, and chef Jordi—a Catalan family that clocked a couple of decades in Canada and the United States, offers a unique Barcelona experience: cutting-edge, creative cuisine explained in perfect English, all in a minimalist, contemporary setting. Three tasting menus—light, tasting, and omakase (a "trust the chef" menu, including wine pairings of the chef's choice)—provide a wide range of tastes and textures.

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.
