There's been a lot of great recent reviews of Disfrutar here on this sub so I'm not sure if another is needed, so I just picked 10 photos as highlights, and give a quick opinion.
Overall an incredible meal, and my new number 1of all time, but it's important to add 95% of my fine dining has been in Spain, so my list is made up entirely of Spanish restaurants (top 3 all in Barcelona – Disfrutar, CHT, and Enigma). Will be trying a few in Berlin next month so we'll see how they compare.
1)a dessert that really should not work but does, hosin sauce and cucumber were two of the main ingredients.
2)the famous ring collection
3)some others on the sub didn't like it, but for me an incredible smoked cider made tableside, that's ready just in time when you start with the dessert sequences
4)huevos de oro i think it was, a chilli crab dish with great spices
5)not much to look at picture wise but an incredible dish, their version of carbonara, with the pasta made from Spanish ham… I worried a little when they made this at the table, I thought it would be a super heavy dish that would finish me off, but somehow
its incredibly light (no idea how)
6)pesto spheres that pop almost, with smoked anguila, and a thin slice of papada ibérica on top, (thinly sliced iberian pork neck)
7)this was like a little toast , with some incredible flavours going on.
8)gazpacho ice-cream sandwich.
9)while the world famous panchino caviar bun (photo 10 paired with a truffle vodka) was incredible, I think I preferred this smoked butter and caviar bite.
After much deliberation we went with the wine pairing, and it was absolutely fine, I've had bigger – Hello BonAmb (was more worried for my girlfriend than me) 11 pairings, all very small (except the pairings that were to last for 3 dishes) I'm fully aware that if you finish your drink before the dish(es) they'll top you up.. But I avoided this, until the dessert wine, and I got a top up on that one.
Small but great points to add: kudos for selling big bottles of water for 4 euros 50. When the norm in most 2 or 3 stars now is a flat about ten euros per person fee for filtered tap water.
Likewise with the tea we had to finish off the meal, 5 euros, half what you'd pay in another 3 star.
One point to nitpick (but not really) : our table – our table was one of the closest ones inside the door, after the dessert chef counter, they crammed in 3 tables parallel to the walkway to the main part of the restaurant, also we had the end of the 3 tables that they've put there, and there was a station with wine glasses right behind my girlfriend, so they kept swooping in and out and opening and closing it. Not a problem at all, but very different seating to any other 3 star I've been to. At first I thought it was where we would start with the welcome snacks before moving to the main part of the restaurant.
I ate 2 days later in CHT and it was also an incredible experience, both are well deserving of three stars. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges though. If you invited me back next week though, and told me I could eat for free in one of the two, I'd pick Disfrutar though.
