We stumbled upon this restaurant, while trying to get an Uber to go the main town center with more restaurants and shops, but all the Ubers kept canceling. I guess it was meant to be. Cheche was one of the more expensive restaurants that we've eaten at in Barcelona, but it was well worth it! The ambiance was great and we loved the interiors. Apparently, this place fills up fast so you'll need to make a reservation. Fortunately, they could seat us at the bar, which faces the kitchen. You can tell the quality of the restaurant by how clean and how organized the kitchen is. The restaurant was still pretty empty when we got there because they had just opened for dinner, so the kitchen staff were just standing by their stations but you could tell they were ready and waiting. The restaurant manager, the hostess and the waiters were very attentive and their service was exceptional! We ordered a bottle of wine, and our waitress did an amazing job with the presentation and made sure that our glasses were topped off. She wouldn't even let me pour it myself. She was very attentive and courteous.
The food and plating were phenomenal. The dishes we ordered were quite heavenly and just the right portions.
We ordered the following:
* Grilled monkish trunk with squid, peas and Iberian dewlap
* Grilled hake with Beurre Blanc, white asparagus and spring "ceps"
* Pulpo A La Brasa (Octopus - this was probably my favorite)
We had the pleasure of watching the staff and kitchen manager do their magic. The way they plated every dish, and their communication and teamwork - they were a well oiled machine.
We were very fortunate to have found this restaurant. This was truly the highlight of our entire holiday in Spain. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will certainly be back.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience! read more
