Fantastic restaurant mostly because of the food taste and presentation, the taste of every single course is superior and definitely something very very special. The service is good but could be improved in some aspects. The restaurant itself is really beautiful and the entry is very grandiose because it is located in the palace hotel. It especially became famous after Obama's visit recently. Obviously such a famous and special restaurant experience comes at a price.

Nice, classy place in the heart of Barcelona. I can really recommend costa brava fish fillets with super tasty sauce, each course was nicely presented, service was quick, food was delicious, definitely Michelin standard! Historical place and one of the oldest hotel in Barcelona!

Amar Barcelona, located inside the elegant El Palace Hotel, is a true five-star dining experience that blends historic grandeur with modern sophistication. Under the direction of chef Rafa Zafra, the restaurant celebrates Mediterranean seafood at its finest—think oysters with caviar, crayfish carpaccio, and perfectly grilled fish—each dish executed with precision and creativity. The service is exceptional, attentive without being intrusive, and the wine list curated by sommelier Juanma Holgado is both extensive and perfectly matched to the menu. The atmosphere, with its deep blue velvet, golden details, and soft lighting, makes every visit feel like a special occasion. Expensive but worth every euro, Amar is one of Barcelona’s most refined culinary experiences and a must for lovers of exquisite seafood and impeccable service.

A flawless experience from start to finish. Great food, refined ambiance, and excellent service. We truly enjoyed our time and look forward to coming back!
