English Absolutely Horrible Experience - Avoid This Place…read more I rarely write negative reviews, but this was beyond unacceptable. My family and I (including two small children) purchased ice cream from this store and sat down to enjoy it. We also had a pastry from a nearby shop with us. Moments later, the owner came out and very aggressively told us we couldn't sit there unless we bought something--which we had. I calmly explained we had purchased from her store, even offered to spend another €20 to avoid any issue, but she continued to raise her voice, curse in front of the children, and make rude, vulgar remarks toward our group. When confronted about her language, she flat-out lied, despite it being witnessed. The whole situation was handled with hostility and zero professionalism. My daughter was left in tears and frightened. No one--especially children--should be subjected to that kind of behavior from someone in the service industry. There are plenty of other ice cream shops with excellent products and far better customer service. I highly recommend avoiding this place. No dessert is worth that kind of treatment Spanish Experiencia Horrible - No Recomiendo Este Lugar Rara vez escribo reseñas negativas, pero esta experiencia fue totalmente inaceptable. Estábamos con nuestra familia, incluidos dos niños pequeños, y compramos helado en esta tienda para sentarnos a disfrutarlo. También llevábamos un pastel de una tienda cercana. Poco después, la dueña salió muy agresivamente a decirnos que no podíamos sentarnos allí si no habíamos comprado nada, cuando claramente sí lo habíamos hecho. Incluso le ofrecí comprar 20 euros más en helado si era un problema, pero continuó levantando la voz, diciendo groserías delante de los niños y haciendo comentarios vulgares hacia nuestro grupo. Cuando se le reclamó por su lenguaje, lo negó rotundamente, a pesar de que varias personas lo escucharon. Toda la situación fue manejada con una falta total de respeto y profesionalismo. Mi hija terminó llorando y asustada. Nadie, y mucho menos los niños, debería ser tratado así por alguien que trabaja en atención al cliente. Hay muchas otras heladerías con buen producto y excelente trato al cliente. Este lugar no merece ni una visita. No vale la pena vivir una experiencia tan desagradable por un helado. Italian Esperienza Terribile - Sconsiglio Assolutamente Questo Posto Scrivo raramente recensioni negative, ma questa esperienza è stata davvero inaccettabile. Ero con la mia famiglia, inclusi due bambini piccoli, e abbiamo comprato un gelato in questo negozio per sederci e gustarlo. Avevamo anche una pasta comprata in una pasticceria lì vicino. Poco dopo, la proprietaria è uscita in modo estremamente aggressivo dicendoci che non potevamo sederci lì se non avevamo acquistato nulla, anche se era evidente che avevamo comprato da lei. Le ho perfino offerto di acquistare altri 20 euro di gelato per evitare problemi, ma ha continuato a urlare, a dire parolacce davanti ai bambini e a rivolgere commenti volgari verso il nostro gruppo. Quando le è stato fatto notare il linguaggio offensivo, ha mentito negando tutto, nonostante ci fossero testimoni. L'intera situazione è stata gestita con totale mancanza di rispetto e professionalità. Mia figlia è scoppiata a piangere ed era spaventata. Nessuno, soprattutto dei bambini, dovrebbe essere trattato in questo modo da chi lavora nel settore del servizio al pubblico. Ci sono molte altre gelaterie con ottimi prodotti e un servizio clienti davvero cordiale. Evitate questo posto: nessun gelato vale un'esperienza così spiacevole.

The story begins not with a dish, but with a timeline you can eat, charting the ascent of three siblings from humble familial duty to culinary transcendence. You do not "dine" here. You witness a narrative of obsession, transformation, and fate--the kind that only arises when blood ties are mixed with butter, fire, and an unbearable drive for excellence. The youngest of the three, a pastry chef, emerges like a trickster figure from folklore, sweetening the end of the journey with a sense of mischief and melancholy. His takeover of the narrative is not declared; it is felt, as a shift in temperature, in tone, in destiny. The food--what can I say? Each course is like a quiet revelation, as if the universe momentarily aligned to allow perfection, then moved on, uncaring. There is no comfort here, only beauty that leaves you slightly devastated. The architecture of the space is austere but luminous, a kind of sacred geometry. The ceramics and silverware are ritualistic tools, not mere vessels. They suggest a world in which aesthetics are a moral responsibility--as if to serve food without beauty would be a sin against nature itself. To eat here is to be reminded that all creation is fleeting, that excellence is a burden, and that even in triumph, there is solitude.

For those not interested in the details, the quick summary of this place is: mediocre food and…read moreservice for a 3 starred Michelin restaurant, served one member of our party a piece of ceramic (choking hazard) and did not adequately remediate the issue, and gave 3 of 6 of our party members stomach problems after dinner. Save your money and a trip to Girona if you're going from Barcelona and go to Cocina Hermanos Torres, a restaurant that truly lives up to the 3 Michelin star reputation. Here is the detailed account of our experience at El Celler: I dined at this restaurant with a party of 6 on the 20th of May. One of the people in my party had the misfortune of finding shards of what appeared to be ceramic from one of the plates as she was eating. She found them while eating the food and had to spit them out and place the pieces on the side. She notified the waiter that picked up the plates about the pieces of ceramic, and unfortunately, only received a "sorry for that" as a reply, with no other gesture of apology provided by anyone else the rest of the night. Given their reputation as a 3 Michelin starred restaurant, not only is the presence of the ceramic pieces in the food appalling, but the nonchalant attitude towards the incident afterward was extremely disappointing. While we certainly did not expect the restaurant to compensate her meal, a small token or gesture in the form of a small discount, free beverage, replacement plate, anything, would have been greatly appreciated. This is far from what we expect from a Michelin establishment given our experience at a variety of other restaurants of similar caliber we have dined at, and cannot overstate how alarming it is that a choking hazard can make it past quality control and nothing is done to repair the situation even after politely bringing it to the staff's attention. The most impressive part of the night was the cheap taxi we took back to Barcelona. Okay, fine, the dessert part of the meal was fun and delicious, so maybe that was the most impressive, but followed closely by the taxi. Below are other details where El Celler completely missed: - Bread taken away from one of our party members without asking if they were done - No folding or replacement of napkins when someone left their seat - Being rushed at the end of dinner for seemingly no reason as there were other patrons eating that we could see and working through dessert courses we had already finished - Not asked to check in a coat, and instead given a random chair next to our table to throw our stuff on it - Uncomfortably warm temperature - Not everyone having their chair pulled out and pushed in - Seeing other people just standing around and not escorting our party to the bathroom or being helpful in other ways - Gave 3 of 6 members of our party stomach aches and loose bowels after dinner Admittedly, some of the above can sound nitpicky, however, this meal stands in a stark contrast to a meal we had the very next day at another 3 Michelin star restaurant, Cocina Hermanos Torres. Better in every way, they outclassed El Celler and provided food and service above and beyond what I've come to expect. Every single issue I had with El Celler was not present at Hermanos Torres, and did the opposite of what El Celler did to make our experience comfortable and exceptional. I am not sure El Celler is worthy of a single Michelin star, and definitely not three. And if it seems like I'm repeating the same point, this is still less repetitive than the number of times they told us one of their dishes contained a sauce made with the head of a langostino. You might also be wondering if I tried providing feedback to El Celler on this. I did, and not because they requested it via an email follow up like I have seen other restaurants do, rather, through the contact email on their website that same night. No response from them yet, which doesn't surprise me considering the apathy demonstrated throughout the ordeal.

We asked our hotel for recommendations, unfortunately a lot of places were closed due to prior week's flower festival. Luckily our awesome hotel concierge was able to book a last minute reservation for us at Massana. We had no expectations walking in, except knowing the fact that it has one Michelin. It BLEW our mind. Every single dish was perfectly executed, with the perfect balance of flavors and texture. My favorites were eel, duck, and lamb. Eel was perfectly cooked and on top of a layer of pork belly - it literally melted in your mouth. So was the duck breast - thinly sliced, complimented by some pickled shallots, it was simply perfection. And just when I thought the night couldn't get any better, the waiter brought out lamb shoulders. It's the part of animal that works hard, so full of flavors but usually not easiest to cook. Here, it was once again cooked to perfection - unbelievably tender and exploded in your mouth with flavors. The meal ended with two amazing desserts, one tart and one sweet. Perfect ending to an amazing dinner. Service was also impeccable, with great local wine recommendations to compliment our meal throughout. Coming from New York, I think Massana could easily compare to any three Michelin star restaurants we've been to in the city, if not better. And with only one third of the price. So if you are in girona and couldn't get into the roca brothers restaurant, come here, you can thank me later.
