The Delekta Review
In 2024, Disfrutar was crowned the world's number one restaurant by the 50 Best list — the culmination of a steady six-year climb from nineteenth place. Chefs Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas met at El Bulli, worked there until its closure, and opened Disfrutar in 2014 with the apparent intention of redefining what a meal can be. They have largely succeeded. The tasting menu is simultaneously playful, technically extraordinary and occasionally theatrical — one course, Fear: The Prawn, has diners reach blindly into dry-ice vapour to retrieve their own perfectly cooked crustacean. The three Michelin stars confirm the consensus. Reservations book out months in advance, prices are very high but comparable to global peers, and the only real criticism is that some diners find the relentless creativity exhausting rather than delightful. That's a question of temperament, not quality.
