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...
Read moreI have known this restaurant for more than 5 years but today I had to put the lowest rate for the most unprofessional behavior I have ever met across Europe, Middle East and African restaurants.
My complaint about one dish was refused by the chief who suggested that I never come back if I don't like his recipe.
Tastes and preferences can be different of course but food needs to be fresh, not overly salty and tough. I know the taste of the Mediterranean Octopus very very well.
I know the place, and staff from long time ago. The chef seems to be new and his attitude to today is not acceptable on a professional level. Taking into account that rest of the food was fine and my complaint was only to one dish.
I have zero tolerance to people who dont want to accept critics when they are on duty. As a profesional in the services industry I always value opinions and reviews from all of my clients!
If the owners are reading this post I am happy to meet and speak with them...
Read moreI have eaten here for years but this time was bad, sadly the prices went up and the chef changed. the constantly new menu is for a gastronomic who has no taste buds. Everything looks good but the flavours beyond unpalatable. They also removed any menu for children. Is the chef cooking for his imagination or his ego. One thing is for sure its not for his customers! they are Guinea pigs and and have to pay to boot! He is taking world class ingredients and murdering them, the tuna is served with dry crackers from a bag, the spring vegetables served in autumn are paired with bottled pickled onions, and who knew you could destroy buffalo mozzarella so epically, this is a lazy chef who can't even be bothered to taste his own food.i recommend he stick to plating and let a real chef cook. I would like to say the staff are all very professional and...
