The food here, except for rather insipidly bland raw prawn starter, was exceptional, definitely 1 star Michelin quality. Some dishes, especially 2 sets of amuse bouche, pre-dessert - all 2 star material. What lets down this amazing food is rather dull dining room (it's neither funki modern to explain lack of any details to grab onto, nor cosy in any way, facilities, like toilets with diluted soap (!) that sprays everywhere because it's so diluted, seriously, with people paying minimum €85 per menu you economise on €5 soap?!), that and overstretched service. Service simply doesn't match the food, even though it is kind, the nicest of the servers was Carla. They have to be careful also with the language, double-check twice if needed, but my alternative to lamb was pork, though waitress called it beef. I happened to be OK with it, when instead porc came out (incidentally it was by far THE best pork dish I ever tasted), but imagine if you are Muslim or Jewish, the shock of it. Water without gas was ordered, but sparkling brought, took ages to replace it with server not even apologising and pulling a face when i said to change it/that it was wrong. Wine not offered at all at any time throughout the long lunch, staff are ran off the feet and don't upsell anything- the owner may be better off paying one extra wage instead of very few staff being stressed out and not offering guests any service except bring dishes out and take away the plates. The owner is sure missing out on a lot of revenue because of this. Water was not even offered at all on arrival or at any time, and had to be asked for, as was bread, as was olive oil, and it all took way too long to arrive. No warmth or kindness from staff at all except lovely Carla, but she was ran off her feet.

Now to the food - the amuse bouche were exceptional, especially smoked sardine fois gras "sandwich" with mango & sesame crackers. Strawberry pre-dessert is also fabulous. Petit fours very good indeed. Salted chocolate dessert michelin quality, great technique on display. Tuna is too cold, and the whole dish lacking zing. Pork dish, melt in one's mouth, crackling type finish up the top - exceptional. As was artichoke "soup" dish. Oysters hiding under foam with seasonal asparagus is also very good.

If they can fix the service, facilties, toilets, and get order and sense in service, with one server throughout dining experience for specific tables, instead of all that mingling of staff, and slightly sharpen the menu, this is one star Michelin in the making. The food is practically already there. Bread was excellent too. I loved the use of stunning ceramics, especially those with antiquity references. Enjoyed the experience, at least the food and...

Una maravilla de comida con un pésimo servicio. Teníamos reserva. Al llegar nos sientan en una mesa de la entrada. Sillas cómodas, mesa amplia. Bien. Una chica nos facilita los QR para la carta y a los dos minutos ya habíamos escogido. Dos menús Mare Nostrum (115€ p/p), botella de cava, y para mientras, un par de cañas y agua. La chica nos pregunta si hay alguna alergia/intolerancia. Ya lo habíamos puesto en la reserva pero se lo recuerdo "nada de queso por favor". Al muy poco rato ya nos sirve los 5 primeros aperitivos, nos los explica y se va. Viene otra compañera con la botella de cava y le recordamos que habíamos pedido antes un par de cañas, así que deja la botella en cubitera y se lo dice a la chica que nos había tomado nota y servido. Nos trae las cañas y le recuerdo también el agua. Empezamos a comer el primer aperitivo, le pego bocado y empiezo a notar un gusto fuertísimo de queso. Lo escupo, empiezan a entrarme arcadas, y viene la chica con el agua. Le pregunto, "¿esto es queso?" y me responde "Sí, claro". Le recuerdo que hacía solo 3 minutos le había dicho que no podía comer queso. Entiendo que falte experiencia, profesionalidad o lo que se quiera, pero la respuesta no puede ser "pero si el queso está muy bueno". Le respondo: "me da mucho asco y creo que voy a vomitar" pero ni corta ni perezosa replica con un "cómete la oliva (otro de los entrantes) que te quitará el mal gusto", y se va. Como digo, se puede entender la falta de experiencia, pero no de educación. Ni un perdón, ni una disculpa, ni un nada. El trozo se quedó allí mordido y no se hizo nada. Al rato viene una compañera (la que había traído el cava) y me pregunta que si me habían traído el "sustituto" del entrante de queso. Le digo que no, y que lo había avisado y casi vomito, con el trozo allí mordido. Me dice que vale y se va hacia la cocina. Otra vez ni un mísero lo siento, perdón o similar, nada. Como si la culpa fuera mía por no poder comer algo de lo que había avisado dos veces y que la chica en el momento de explicarlos en ningún momento mencionó que llevaba queso. Total, que estuvimos ya con las cosas en la mano para irnos, pero me sabía mal montar el número por respeto al resto de clientes. Optamos entonces por coger el móvil y mirar en el menú cada plato que nos servía, que en la mitad de los casos explicaba mal pero que ya no le dimos más importancia, solo estaba pendiente de que no llevaran queso. La experiencia se fue a cagar con todo esto, pero sí hay que decir que la comida es una maravilla. Casi todo el menú es pescado y nos pareció exquisito, equilibrado y fantástico. Hemos ido a algunos estrella Michelin y de verdad que este joven chef no tiene nada que envidiar, podría estar mucho más arriba si no fuera por un mal, malísimo servicio que no le acompaña para nada y que hizo que simplemente comiéramos pero no lo disfrutáramos. Este tipo de respuestas y de falta de profesionalidad no se entienden ni en bares o menús del día, con todos mis respetos a estos locales, pero hombre, pagar una cuenta de 280€ entre dos, avisar dos veces de una intolerancia, y que me respondan que 'el queso está muy bueno', no. No hace falta la pelotería de los estrella Michelin, ni tan solo profesionalidad, solo educación o trato. Y si la cagas, se pide un perdón y no pasa nada, todos nos podemos equivocar, tener un mal día o despistarnos, faltaría más, pero llega a ser una alergia chunga, y allí corre una ambulancia y una denuncia simplemente por la falta de atención de la chica, a la que, por cierto, no se le vio ni un mínimo de sentimiento de culpa. Al irnos esperaba que la maitre viniera a cobrarnos o a pedir opinión y así comentarle, educadamente, lo que había pasado, pero vino la misma camarera a cobrarnos así que me quedé con las ganas, de ahí la reseña. Por último, pagamos la cuenta, se va, cogemos las cosas y después de decir adiós tres veces, solo una de ellas nos respondió, mala salida y una...

We had a similar experience to a lot of other reviews. Ordered the €75 menu. The first snacks and appetizers that arrived were really outstanding but the mains of tuna and deer were both underwhelming in comparison. Nothing particularly wrong, just quite bland in comparison to the rest of the meal.

Food was served extremely quickly with little breathing room between courses. The experience felt quite rushed even though it was over two hours .

We had a few servers during the evening who had limited English but tried really hard for us which we appreciated massively. However our main server felt really unfriendly and uninterested especially when we could see they were being a lot warmer to other guests.

The kicker came with the bill when we realised we had been charged €2.75 extra per person for bread that was offered during the meal. It's not a huge amount but we should have been informed of the charge, and it not being included when you're already spending €75 on your food is pretty ridiculous. It left a bad impression as we were leaving and we left ultimately unhappy with our meal...

Primera aparición por un restaurante de los que visitas para que te sorprendan o, como se dice en la actualidad cuando vas a un lugar que toda la vida se usó para comer, para "vivir una experiencia". Confieso que llegué esperanzado y salí cabizbajo, ojeroso, paliducho, cariacontecido, ojiplático, apesadumbrado y sí, por qué no decirlo, con cierta sensación de regomello, reconcome y hasta desazonadamente desmoralizado. Antes de iniciar mi descripción verborreica me permitirán un apunte a los señores de Google. Cuando buscas "El Terrat Restaurante" sale al lado el cuadro con la información del mismo. Le adjuntan un par de símbolos monetarios del euro... Pongan por lo menos tres. Más que nada para evitar el crearse una falsa expectativa que luego, tal y como describiré, no se cumple. Pero sigamos. Siempre previa reserva, y con mesa para dos, llegamos a la hora convenida. La recepción, local y presentación perfecta. Tras escanear los habituales códigos QR (insertados en nuestra cotidiana moda culinaria) escogimos un par de menús tierra y mar. En nuestro caso no eran los más económicos ni los de precio más elevado, alrededor de 65 euros/persona, siempre con las bebidas aparte. Se inicia un ir y venir de porciones ricas, repletas de sabor, ahumadas, sobre un lecho, bajo una base, impregnadas, explosivas, recubiertas, con un crujiente, aromatizadas, endulzadas, marinadas, reconstituidas, emulsionadas, con una concentración, en homenaje o, incluso, lloviznadas con cierto elemento "milagroso" que no llegabas a describir, pero que sabías que estaba ahí porque te lo habían descrito previamente. Apuntar que entre plato y plato (siempre) te cambian los cubiertos por el riesgo de que un resto/porción previo anule cualquier atisbo perceptivo en tus papilas y ello invada determinado destello de la nueva creación. La atención, en todo momento, fue ejemplar por parte del personal que acompañó la velada, atentos a cualquier detalle, sirviendo más vino cuando apurabas tu copa o, simplemente, describían la novedad que tocaba en ese momento. Excelente carta de vinos locales y nacionales. Los amantes de tan noble caldo (como es mi caso) no tendrán problemas para escoger lo que más les apetezca. Sobre el margen de precios de los mismos podemos hablar en otro momento, pero solo indicar que éste se encuentra acorde con el lugar. A modo de conclusión expondré que me faltó "chicha". Sabores (algunos) exquisitos, mención para los postres: son perfectos. Productos excelentes, gran creatividad, presentación magnífica, servicio excelentemente cuidado, pero no te puedes ir con la sensación de que saliste sin acabar de comer. Sí. Lo sé. En parte se trata de vivir una experiencia, pero, como he descrito en la introducción, con cierta desazón. Las experiencias pueden impresionar más o menos, servir para aprender o intercambiar, degustar o apreciar, pero ya que estás en un restaurante pues sales comido. Vamos, una apreciación sin mayor importancia ni trascendencia. Me pueden llamar tiquismiquis tras soltar 200 pavos. Personalmente no lo veo para volver, pero como siempre añado para gustos y sabores, están los platos y colores y la estrella Michelín, de por sí, no se come.
