Best in Spain 3 Michelin Star ABaC Restaurant $543 (€534) - Fine dining 19 Course Tasting Barcelona

[@Busmagnus]

I worked as a cdp at a one michelin restuarant in sweden and we had apart from cooking the food, go out and present the food witch was scary and fun as hell at the same time. Im really impressed with the waiting staff here. They really have a lot to remember and i would certainly fuck up alot of those presentations

[@corwintennent4770]

That pigeon was scary. Totally raw!!! The waiter couldn't even cut through easily on the inside because it was so rubbery and undercooked. The flesh hadn't even firmed up. BARF!!!

[@Bragglord]

Agreed, that pigeon looked gross and I wouldn't want to eat it.

[@123arcadia]

They must have a brigade of dishwashers !

[@jonnyjonjonjrshabadoo6565]

Ate here around 4 years ago. Amazing meal. I was pretty full from all the dishes as well. The shrimp head blew my mind.

[@GourmetBGourmet]

Amazing!

[@geert574]

That pigeon is RAW

[@GourmetBGourmet]

It would be hillarious if you uploaded a mcdonalds review video that an emplyoee,you set up narrates the whole menu 😂 just a mc donalds video inside of all these fancy restraunts

[@leonosorio5255]

would be interesting to hear your opinion on each dish, were they good/bad and why?

[@GourmetBGourmet]

thanks for the advice, I still on travelling, I will considering to do it in CC subtitles when I have free time.

[@saigonbaby]

yes, that is an excellent idea. i have no idea what the dishes taste like.

[@QDPenguin]

looks like 19 ultra flavour bombs.. my pet peeve about one is having those onion skins as decorations hahah.. if it's not meant to be eaten, don't put put on the same plate as the edible food..

[@Bragglord]

I wholeheartedly agree, and if you can't distinguish what is edible on the plate, something has gone wrong.

[@tapanmartha9434]

Beautiful

I want all of this.

[@adamh2957]

Thoughts? Some dishes look amazing but it definitely looks like the meal consists of peaks and troughs.

[@rechannel864]

For those who are saying this is a bad experience. Because ur meal is being explained well u can request them not to do that.

[@GourmetBGourmet]

of course you can tell them you want enjoy ur meal without explained story

[@jparthur]

As nice as it is to see the presentation of the dishes by the staff, it would be better if you gave some input to your impressions of the dish.

[@GourmetBGourmet]

Great suggestion!

[@VadimDaskal]

I’ve been to ABaC few years ago. This is the only Michelin restaurant that I vividly remember all dishes. It wasn’t about food, it was a performance. The dishes are extremely small and support the idea that you need only first bite to appreciate the food. Meanwhile at the end I was full in spite of a small sizes.

[@alexclarke6579]

Great video but definitely needs some commentary/comments! :)

[@TheLuftie]

abac for me the best one in the world !!! shared with quique da costa !!!!

[@danielclark4624]

me watching these videos eating reheated pizza knowing I wont ever experience this

[@geert574]

O c'mon ur not missing out much 😆

[@tomtomom]

I find the dishes excellently prepared but didn't you feel the waiters were a bit tedious and slow? I hear so many "eh uh ehms". A better prepared announcement and explanation of a dish would create less awkward time at the table..

[@vivalavida8115]

Give them a break. Their explanation isn't in their first language.

[@djessegrootscholten6937]

yeah thats the language barrier.

[@MrHL5]

nice

[@freakyouotfrec]

crazy how different the level is between a 3* restaurant in France and all other countries. the excellence and expectations are much higher in France sadly I must say... however, this ABaC looks great

[@MarckCat]

I have been there, amazing experience 😍🙏

[@Paul-kdat23]

Just wondering,...... If the floor staff, would ever come back after the customer had eaten the dish, and interacted with them and let them guess what they had just eaten, just asking.

[@fellspoint9364]

What equipment do you use for shooting your videos? Especially the shots where you’re using both hands. Love the channel! Please visit New York ✌🏽

[@GourmetBGourmet]

I just both hands, thanks. definitely we will go to New York

[@IM-iw7wd]

Do they have to talk when they serve?

[@bconni2]

that has to be the most confident wait staff i've ever seen

[@MrCloud-ob7sh]

The waitress said “uuhh” too much even though she seemed to know exactly what she wanted to say.

[@davidb9059]

Do these meals include the price of wine ?

[@GourmetBGourmet]

Not included wine, we paid a bottle of wine

[@davidb9059]

Am I correct thinking it was a chef sample menu ?

Everything looks fabulous, and for once, I think that this tasting menu is really substantial and filling. My experience with authentic Spanish cooking was when I visited Vigo during my stint as a PhD student in Europe. I really liked the food. Nothing as fancy as this, of course, but very tasty indeed. Btw, that waitress is cute! She doesn't look Latina. She looks more Southeast Asian to me. Malaysian? Indonesian?

[@yoleneloess7906]

cooking plates can't be little: it's difficult to wash in wash machines

[@123arcadia]

Should be called the Japanese box...Chinese do not culturally eat eel or Yakitori sauce

[@shadowremorse]

chinese uses eel extensively in guangdong, yakitori sauce is basically soy and sweet wine reduction

[@WelfareChrist]

honestly the whole menu seemed to lack focus. The dishes looked mostly nice but I'm not sure what the angle is.

[@rhyskhan9152]

Went here last September and was the biggest disappointed I have ever experienced in a restaurant never mind a supposed 3 star restaurant (definitely not 3 stars) the menu was way too long, I couldn't remember anything I tasted the day after. There's was no concept or story to the menu either just random plates that didn't taste amazing. The staff were really strange, forcing the service out and felt completely rushed.. I understand this was through covid but you should have closed instead of pretending to be 3 star without your head chef jodi cruz. Felt more like there was a bunch of students in the kitchen cooking while all the big dogs where away. Honestly I would only give it a one star and thats being generous as iv been in a lot better one stars that this supposed 3 star.

[@bconni2]

did you still tip 20%,?

[@anthonyjohngarcia4455]

i just noticed ,, the wait staff handle this beautiful food are not so finesse .. just an observation

[@KitchenDog03]

This modern haute approach really should curtail the monologue. In these spots, FOH is regarded as significant as BOH, and they’re being overbearing with the info to prove their worth. A perfect FOH is never seen yet will pick up a dropped fork within five seconds. This is too much.

[@giuliani3570]

yet another meal I could never eat. Why do they want to take the grossest things and make meals out of them at these fancy place?

Actually you can compare a 2 michelin star dish to a David by Donatello and a 3 michelin star dish to a Guernica by Picasso. Everyone may appreciate the David why only a few can understand Guernica wasn't drawn by a John Doe high on LSD. And that wasn't a compliment. Appreciate the effort but I will never understand why the 3 stars restaurants exist, in the 1st place.

[@aar498]

When you have to explain a dish and how to eat it,, you can brace yourself for a lot of nonsense on the plate. Don't eat the onion peels sums up this lunch.

[@LMW87MMA]

Maybe this type of place isn’t for you. Part of the charm of the place is the story, the theatre, the service.

[@klefdnb]

​​@@LMW87MMAnope. The one golden rule you're taught about learning haute cuisine is "never explain or tell the customer how to eat" and never put anything that is not going to be eaten on the plate. Never.

Yes, pigeon is sometimes served in fine dining restaurants, and even though it's a bird, it's red when cooked. It's actually very good!
