I have a lot of questions in my head, why this restaurant could be a 3 star Michelin restaurant?! Did the reviewer got some benefit from the restaurant?!!! What a terrible, worst food! I have no idea what they trying to do. It just like a painter who don’t know how to cook, just trying to present a good artwork no matter how taste it is! Also, very bad service, and how dare that you asking for the tips????? Because we wasn’t give you tips, so you not even to press lift for us???? Yea, just did for the previous guests. Good on you! Even can’t finish my bottle of wine, what a shame!

If you want to watch our full video review, find us on YouTube travelwithpassionandstyle We visited ABAC for dinner, expecting an outstanding 3 Michelin star experience. Some moments were memorable: the opening Bloody Mary prepared tableside, the katsuobushi with red mullet, and the playful balloon dessert. Service was attentive in parts, and the wine list was huge! However, several details didn’t meet the level we expected. The timing between courses was rushed, leaving little room to enjoy each dish. One main course – the partridge – was poorly handled, even arriving with visible fingerprints on the plate. Bread service arrived unusually late, and overall the staff felt uncoordinated for a restaurant of this caliber. The evening cost around €870 for two with wine pairing. While the setting is elegant and a few dishes stood out, the experience did not feel consistently at the standard of other 3-star restaurants we’ve visited. We’ve shared all the details in the full video on our channel travelwithpassionandstyle on YouTube.

the service was really nice, but honestly it’s not worth paying €300 for what you get. Nothing was bad, but at no point did anything stand out or feel like a real explosion of flavor. It’s like they tell you “this has some special black olive from wherever”, you try it and think “yeah, I can taste the black olive… and? XD” It’s just not impressive. I genuinely think there are plenty of other places that are way better and cost less than half of that. It’s crazy to charge this kind of price for food that simply isn’t good. I don’t care if you call it new cuisine or fine dining or whatever, the basic rule is universal: the dish has to taste good. If it doesn’t, I don’t care whether you used Sichuan pepper or vanilla from Madagascar.

I celebrated my birthday during my 2-week trip there and we reserved this restaurant for an amazing night. From start to finish, it was a culinary adventure and creative discovery with some highlights that totally wowed and amazed us - the candle butter, the tomato plant, the lipstick dessert, where it went from culinary enjoyment and excellent service to innovative concepts with great harmony. Jay and his team such as Rachel were awesome, not only were they knowledgeable and attentive, but Jay was also very funny and we had a lot of laughs throughout the courses. Thank you for this unforgettable experience and moment!

Barcelona has quite a few Michelin starred restaurants, and I'm slowly working my way through them. For my friend's birthday, I booked a lunch at aBaC. I'll be honest, the menu didn't immediately excite me and felt a bit underwhelming at first. That said, the execution completely won me over. Everything tasted far better than expected. Highlights/Memorable dishes: The onion, cheese, anchovy, and enzyme dish was deeply savory and full of umami. Their interpretation of onion soup was comforting yet refined, and the flavors worked perfectly together. The cured sea bream with mollusks, frozen hummus, and spring onion gazpachuelo with cilantro was another highlight. It was almost like a ceviche. The fish was incredibly tender, and I loved the mussels. Great! The squid with Roman style caviar was another hit! Think squid tartare topped with caviar. Simple and delicious! Naturally, my friend and I went all out and ordered a bottle of wine each. The service was exceptional, made even better by our attentive and very charming server (Mitsu?). He was funny and entertained our shenanigans lol. All in, I spent around $700 for two, including the $200 deposit required to secure the reservation. Overall, money well spent and a solid Michelin experience. I would definitely recommend it.
