    Very very minimalistic decors. White table, white plates, white walls. Small tables for small parties. Set meals will take 2 hours from start to finish. The dishes were really photographic and tasty. Price point wasn't too bad either.

    Food 10/10 The tasting menu was absolutely amazing and definitely worth the price, not to mention the wine pairing was such a great deal I was very impressed and content. Each dish of the menu came with a glass of wine, with only an additional 25 euros. That I simply cannot believe. We came here to celebrate my birthday, started the meal at 9pm, and ended it at midnight. Definitely the longest and latest dinner I've ever had, but every moment was worth it. The cheese board was very flavorful and adventurous, and the mains were outstanding in flavor-so many layers. The unlimited homemade sourdough bread also really kept on coming and made us extremely happy and full. So fresh and chewy, yet dense and moist. Two different types of olive oil were provided, both local and had great aromatics. They were way too generous with the bread though that I was feeling a little anxious that I couldn't finish the entire tasting menu haha. Atmosphere 10/10 A very clean and modern interior, minimalist yet elegant. A great 1 Michelin spot with quality cooking and interior decor. The tables were nicely spaced apart. Loved the design of the bathroom as well. Service 10/10 Extremely attentive service, I was really impressed because there were only two people tending to all of the guests, yet they were always on top of things.

    Wanted to try this Michelin restaurant in Barcelona. Service is superb. I love that they don't require the entire table when ordering the tasting menu. My husband decided to order a La carte. First, tasting menu was mostly exceptional. Exceptions were the skate - too salty and fishy, and the beef - cut of beef was too tough. Other than that, every dish was creative, original, and magnificent. The desserts were out of this world.

    If you're looking for an impressive Catalan cuisine experience that's universally accessible, curated by masters of their craft, Hisop deserves real consideration.

    I wanted to like Hisop more than I did. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was completely acceptable - but the overall meal felt devoid of some human touch and warmth. Our tasting menu included: - Sea Urchin w/ pumpkin and lemongrass - Grilled "Rovellons" w/ pork jowl and mushrooms - ** Mackerel with trumpets, sesame, and grapes - ** Artichoke with perol sausage & tumeric - Hake w/ mushrooms, buckwheat, and whisky - Deer w/ turnips, cocoa, salsify - Cheese course - Fig w/ lime and wasabi - ** Grilled cream with persimmon and passion fruit The starred items were my favorite dishes, but across the board the food was all both beautiful and meticulously composed. I think my husband and I left completely satisfied and happy, but when comparing it to another high end tasting menu we had done in Paris, it felt very Good but not Great.

    For our last dinner at Barcelona, I decided to splurge a little and have The Tasting Menu at Hisop for 57 Euro. Hisop serves contemporary Catalan cuisine which I would not have able to experience in Toronto especially at this price point. The main concern though is my Yelp Friend always hungry. The question is would this "tasting" menu enough to make him happy? For the night we were served: - Sea Urchin with Vermounth - Bacon, Peas and Truffle - Vilanova Prawn with Artichokes - Pularda Rice with Truffle - Fish of the Day with Mantis Shrimp "Suquet" - Pigeon with Truffle Cannelloni and Vanilla - Cheese Selection - Dessert: Viennese Coffee/Grapefruit with Passion Fruit and Eucalyptus Yes, every single dish above and there was nothing that I need to share. No decision needed to be make... I even have a chance to taste all those local cheese. And I definitely glad that I love truffles! Presentation was top notch. Every dish were a different experience of taste and texture. A feast for all the senses! Why no a 5 star experience? Service was a little rush and mechanical. But highly recommended as a foodie experience when in Barcelona at an affordable price!

    I would give 5 stars for the food. I had tried three Michelin star restaurant in my Barcelona trip. Hisop is actually ranked number 1 base on the food. I had the tasting menu. Each dish is simple but elegant. The chef doesn't over spice the food. He gave the little kick in taste of all the ingredients in the dishes. It's my first time ate deer meat, but it was a pretty good experience. My favor of night was the Mackerel with trumpets, sesame and grapes. Why I only gave 3 stars? it's the service. You are paying for Michelin 1 star but got the service no any better than McDonald's. I asked for wine pairing and our waitress simply tell me "no, it's not an option" !! But it was listed on the tasting menu. I guess she doesn't under stand English that well. I gave 1 star for the service.

    My wife and I went to Hisop for a late lunch when we were in Barcelona this past Christmas. I made the reservation online, about a month in advance. The restaurant was small and simple yet elegant - white walls with wood accents, white table clothes with white napkins, and dim lighting. The service was friendly and professional. About what you'd expect from a Michelin star restaurant. We both ordered the nine course tasting menu with wine pairing. The first course was a fresh sardine with cocoa powder. Very interesting flavour combination and surprisingly tasty. The second course was unbelievable. The first five courses were all excellent and at this point, every course but one had included some sort of fish or seafood. The next course, the first and only with meat is when things started going downhill a little bit. When paired with all of the other ingredients on the plate I found the flavours and textures to be very balanced but on its own, the meat was salty and the edges were chewy. I liked it, however, my wife did not. The following course featured a variety of cheeses that were arranged from lightest to strongest. The cheeses were all very good quality but it didn't feel like a course you'd have on a tasting menu at a Michelin star restaurant, and the presentation left something to be desired. The eight course, the first dessert was excellent. The final course was supposed to be a dessert with some sort of apple crumble but ended up being another dish with ice cream that looked like it was just thrown together on the spot. It was disappointing and a bad way to end the meal. If the cheese course had better presentation and more importantly, if the final course wouldn't have been substituted, this might have been a five star review. The wine pairings were all phenomenal. If you are in Barcelona and looking for a reasonably priced tasting menu at a Michelin star restaurant, you should definitely try Hisop. Make sure to get the wine pairing. Four stars.

    As a meat lover I highly recommend this restaurant. We went on a 3-day trip in Barcelona and I had…read moretwo of my lunches there (the owner even kept our wine on the first day so we could keep drinking it on the 2nd day!). The first day I had the veal and beef sirloin, medium cooked. The veal tastes like it was dry-aged and came with a pleasant flagrant along with the kick from charcoal. It was a bit chewy but every bite on the meat extracts more flavor from it. Beef sirloin usually is a safe choice, and it was a right decision for this restaurant. It was super tender and juicy, satisfying. The second day we went back for more, our friend recommended beef short-rib, and i also added a lamb chop. Unlike other short ribs I had in US, their rib was not as tender, but the more you chew on it, the more flavor came out of it. The lamb chop was surprisingly good, it's tender and juicy, also a bit fatty. I wanted to go back on the third day, but guess we need to try out something different in Barcelona, but I will definitely come back next time I'm there!

    This is definitely the best meat I've had in Barcelona. Nice quite place with mostly local audience…read more(a rare find in central area!). Good service - very hospitable owner, he gave us some good wine recommendations and all the food was served quite fast. The meat was just exceptional! Beef filet is an absolute must must try, very tender and fresh. The rest of the dishes were good as well. Perfect non touristic place for dinner!

    I give this place 5 stars for service and 3 stars for food…read more Service was exceptional! The server came out and described all the special of the days and recommended his favorites. There is a menu in English as well. Certain dishes were amazing and some I was very disappointed. Too bad they don't have a special lunch menu because the bill for the two of us was quite expensive. So, if you're going to try this place out, here's what I had: Crispy pig mask - pretty much like bacon but lacking flavor. I believe the garnish in top was peppercinis? Or banana peppers. Not so sure. Iberico ham croquettes - took a bit and it was so crispy and tasty. Definitely get this. Their "special egg of the day" was similar to huevos cabriadios. This one came with asparagus. The portion was really tiny and everything was kind of mushed together. Lacking crunchy texture. Didn't like it at all. Steak tar tar - very nice. Came with 4 pieces of patatas which I didn't think went will with the tar tar. Instead, I spooned it onto the compliments pan con tomatoes they gave us. Patatas bravas - not your usual patatas with aioli. They add a sort of tomato paste to this dish so it makes it unique and interesting. It's good! Scallop on top of pork neck. This was the star dish of the meal. Scallops perfectly cooked on a fatty piece of pork. So much flavor, the right amount of crispness- this is a must have. All this + 2 drink came out to 58.20€.

    When traveling, it's often the people you meet who can make or break your trip. In this case,…read moreBamboral will always have a special place in my heart when I think of Barcelona. Even though we did not have reservations, we were welcomed and treated like family instead of American tourists. The staff, particularly Victor, patiently explained the menu and we chatted with him as acquaintances. We dined here two out of the three nights we were in Barcelona because we had such a great dining experience. When we came back for the second time, every staff member remembered us and joked with us. Victor even remembered our order! Bamboral means poppy, and it's named after the city where the owners are from. One of the owners even came over to chat with us and told us about how the food was made. Here's what we had: -Ensaladilla Rusa & bonito tuna (4 euros): I'm not a potato salad fan, but this is a pretty classic tapa so we had to try it. It was just okay to me, but my husband loved it. -Burrata salad (8 euros): The burrata was a good size for sharing, while the asparagus and tomato added a nice contrast to the creaminess of the burrata. -Rice special (7 euros): Oh my gosh, whatever the rice special is, just order it! I ordered it both times, so I had two eye-rolling bowls of rice goodness. If you like the umami flavor of mushrooms, then you will love their rice special. -Scallop with pork jowl & asparagus (13 euros): The scallops were perfectly cooked, and don't be scared of the pork jowl; it's really more like pork belly. -Sweet potato bravas (3.50 euros): I would go back just for this simple, yet fantastic dish. The owner told us that their aioli is special because it's made with roasted garlic and tomatoes that have been braised for hours along with peppers from their garden. You can taste the quality in their aioli because it tasted much more complex than ones from the other tapas bars we went to. -Pork mask (8 euros): Okay, I know the name is rather strange, but this was amazing! Think of bacon that is topped with bits of garlic and vinegar to add some acidity to an otherwise heavy dish. It is a smaller establishment, so make reservations or be okay with sitting at the bar, which is what we did both nights. The atmosphere is friendly with lots of locals dining here. If you're looking for a fine dining experience with white table cloths and room temperature Evian, this is not for you. If you want to have great tapas at a reasonable price with great people, then come here!
