Full description

Gresca is known among Barcelona's dining scene as a chef's favourite, with a kitchen led on letting quality ingredients — quail and beef brain among the dishes reviewers single out — speak for themselves rather than over-styling the plate. At 4 stars from over 2,400 reviews and a must-see score of 93, it draws serious food travellers, with front-row counter seats offering a direct view of the kitchen team at work.

The rating sits a touch lower than comparable tasting-menu restaurants in this set, reflecting a more variable dining experience night to night. It's a good fit for diners who want to watch the cooking as much as eat the result.

Reviews

I can see why this restaurant is chefs favorite. cooking that brings the best of the ingredient itself. The quail is a must, so delicious. Beef brain is tender as butter. It’s not cheap but it’s worth coming if you want some really good food
