Food
Dos Palillos comes from Albert Raurich, a former head chef at El Bulli, and channels that experimental pedigree into a menu that moves between Spanish and pan-Asian small plates over as many as nineteen courses. At 4.3 stars from 1,544 reviews and a near-perfect must-see score of 99, it's regarded as one of the city's most distinctive fine-dining formats, with a very high trendy score reflecting its boundary-crossing concept. Reviews are largely glowing, though a handful of diners find specific dishes too heavy or oily for their taste. It suits adventurous eaters ready for a long, genre-blending tasting menu.

What people say
"Just. Wow. This is our 2nd time at a Michelin star restaurant in Spain, and it exceeded expectations. We had 19 different dishes over 3 hours for the lunch tasting menu. The sommelier made excellent recommendations for wine and sake to go with the courses. Every decoration and detail was well thought out. The playlist created by our server kept they mood light and fun. Highly recommend this as a stop in Barcelona."
