You can now enjoy in Barcelona: Disfrutar!

 We had loved Compartir in Cadaques, we had even taken our guests form Singapure this summer, and they also loved it. I was so happy when I heard few months back that they were soon openning in Barcelona. The three chefs worked for many years closely with Ferran Adria at   El Bulli: Mateu Casañas, Oriol Castro and Eduard Xatruch. They opened their restaurant last week in Barcelona: Disfrutar (enjoy).

They are near the Mercat del Ninot in the Eixample. It isn't a replica of Compartir,  the philosophy is the same where you can still share and enjoy their dishes but there will be some more cocktails and appetisers in their menu, a gastronomy experience to feel with all your sense. They offer two tasting menus from 65 to 95€. When you enter, you have the look of a normal bar, you pass through a small corner with Barcelona colors and style; then you pass from the passage where you see the huge kitchen and the chefs and their team at work, and you enter the main hall with Cadaques and Mediterranean colors and influences. You also have a wonderful terrace. The deco by  Equipo Creativo is so welcoming; the service was perfect, friendly and polite, very professional; you will feel at ease the moment you step in.
I can guarantee you Disfrutar will soon be known all over the world; so book it soon while there's no waiting list and enjoy a wonderful meal. They are open almost all the days of this festive season, check their calendar here.
