Fantastic, our fifth visit to this restaurant - we keep visiting Barcelona just so we can come! Highlights included the ceviche and the lamb. I would highly recommend the wine pairing with the tasting menu. This restaurant should have a Michelin star!

The best restaurant in Barcelona! Hands down. The food was absolutely amazing-every dish was a piece of art and delicious! The staff was awesome-knowledgable about the food/ wine and the service was exceptional! We didn't want to leave Thanks for making our evening such a memorable one-we will def be back! Montiel is a must if you are visiting Barcelona! Simply the best :)
Came during the slow season at the beginning of March this year (Got on one of the last flights back to the USA!). The service was wonderful, and we opted for some a la carte dishes. Excellent for vegans. Try the cheese plate! The desserts and ravioli were to die for as well. Vegan fine dining! Definitely worth going!
If I could give this place more stars I would. The service was incredible. We were lost and couldn't find the restaurant and when I called, they came and found us and walked us over. When we arrived, it was quiet and the food was brought out quickly. We had the olives and bread/olive oil tasting which was delicious and the sparkling wine that was recommended to us was absolutely delicious. And then the main course was brought out and there aren't words available to describe how yummy it was. My mom had the tenderloin and I had the ravioli. Both I definitely recommend having.
We had the menjar blanc which was also yummy. Overall, a great experience and definitely one we're considering having again.
Went looking for a last minute dinner reservation and really got lucky to find this place. Nice quiet atmosphere, great service and simply amazing food. Super modern, clean take on traditional tapas. For you Celiac foodies out there, the entire menu happened to be gluten free except 2 dishes. Well curated wine menu too.
Don't think they have a Michelin star, but the food was as good as places that do.
This place came highly recommended so my husband and our traveling companions decided to come here one of the glorious nights we were in Barcelona. The restaurant did not disappoint! The dishes were absolutely delicious and the service was impeccable. My friend had to step out for a second and the restaurant graciously reserved her soup (it was a toddler emergency). Their wine recommendations were on point and we really enjoyed every bit of our time here!
Fantastic food. Fantastic presentation. Fantastic service.
My husband and I did the gastronomic tasting menu - absolutely fabulous. The colors and textures, on top of the flavors, of each dish were vivid and added to the entire experience. Some dishes were reminiscent of our time at Noma, using Nature as inspiration. Check out the pics below.
When we return to Barcelona, there is no question that we would eat at Montiel again.

Top 5 meals I've ever had, bar none. Montiel is better than Michelin starred restaurants I've been to, for a 1/3rd of the cost. The neighborhood, facade, and even inside of the restaurant are all very unassuming - but make no mistake about it, you are going to be blown away by their food.
A few course highlights:
- The first course was a strawberry gazpacho w/ a cucumber sorbet, which was a punch in the mouth of flavor and freshness.
- Somewhere in the middle of the meal was a giant Spanish prawn w/ "rice from the sea", that was wrapped in Iberico and topped w/ saffron mayo. This was probably the best rice I've ever eaten; perfectly al dente and salty w/o tasting like fish, but still tasting like the sea.
- The main course was the suckling pig w/ cauliflower cream and green apple, which was amazing. This dish was simple, but expertly executed. The meat was perfectly tender, yet the skin was the crispiest I've ever experienced.
- The course before the piggy was simply the best thing I've ever eaten; its legitimately my last meal on death row, or what I would bring to a deserted island. That dish was a duck and pear ravioli in some kind of a chocolate/red wine/rosemary sauce w/ fa piece of seared foie gras on top. I've since tried to recreate this dish myself, and cant even come close to justice. This dish was simply divine; I literally think it changed my life. When I think back on it, the hair on my arms and the back of my neck stand at attention.
Another really neat aspect about Montiel was the wine pairings. They take their sourcing of ingredients and their wines quite seriously, so everything was very local to the area. Therefore, all of the wines were entirely new to my palate and completely unique. Our waiter took the care to explain every pairing to us, which he coupled with a great personality. We felt quite welcome.
Montiel is the number one reason why I would return to Barcelona, and I could not recommend something more.
Wow, I'm not sure where to start. I'm not a huge fish person but the Ceviche was the best I've ever had and I would eat it 3 times a day if it was possible. The atmosphere, service and food quality were all 5 stars. We also had Iberico Ham which is carved at the front store of the restaurant, it was full of flavor and minimal salt; amazing!
I would give this place 6 stars if it was possible.
We were the only ones at 10 on a Tuesday in July. Lovely space and beautiful presentation. Also really delicious and innovative without being stuffy. Great night.
Heaven. Montiel is what I imagine the cuisine in heaven is like. If you have a few hours to enjoy, I highly recommend the tasting menu and accompanying wines.
My boyfriend and I came on a Wednesday evening for a 9pm reservation. Apparently, we had some difficulties on the website, so the reservation didn't go through - however, there was an available table, so we were seated right away. Don't make our mistake and be sure to complete your reservation!
The restaurant itself is a cozy two-floors, and it is intimate and charming. It's perfect for a date or enjoying with close friends and family. The ambience is simply darling.
They take their time with preparing the food so plan accordingly. Each bite is made with fresh ingredients and love, so your meal will likely take 2-3 hours. I am so grateful to have had a wonderful, friendly staff guide us on a delicious culinary adventure.
I will definitely return during my next trip to Barcelona!
I did the gastronomical tasting menu here - incredible! Away from the hustle and bustle of Las Ramblas and placed in a quiet alleyway this place is a perfect change of pace for a lovely meal.
It is hard for me to even explain the flavors of the dishes. All I can say is that it was 100% worth it and would go again. P.S. go with the wine pairing as well.
Beautiful little place! Everything was perfect about our visit: the place, the service and the food. We went without reservations but with 10 minutes of us getting there, the place was full. I would plan ahead :)
Es un lugar chiquito, súper acogedor. La comida, riquísima; el servicio, excelente... definitivamente una joyita! Fuimos sin reservas pero tuvimos suerte... mejor hacer reserva! El lugar se llenó a los diez minutos de llegar!
Hemos cenado divinamente. Aunque el camarero ha sido muy simpático, el servicio ha sido lento. Los platos son muy escasos incluso para un menú degustación de estas características.
Un espacio gastronómico de productos ecologicos y de proximidad con una excelente atención y maridaje excepcional. Una inmejorable elección. También tienen opción vegetariana
Muy buena comida, calidad, presentación y buen precio
Cinco estrellas porqué no se pueden poner mas. Platos exquisitos delicadamente cocinados, donde los sabores son una experiencia única.
Nos sorprendió de principio a fin, su cocina, su servicio impecable, atento y muy profesional. No dejeis de probar el arroz de mar sobretodo su sabor y textura es excepcional. Altamente recomendable.

Restaurante de estrella Michelin
Es algo absolutamente fantástico!! Seguramente ha sido una de las mejores comidas de mi vida gastronómicamente hablando!! Vale la pena cada céntimo de lo que cuesta.
Desde que entras a comer a Montiel te sientes como un rey…
Comimos el menú degustación, creo que en total eran 8 platos, absolutamente impresionantes. Además aconsejo fervientemente acompañarlo con el maridaje y de esa manera para cada plato te pondrán una copa de vino diferente y de muy buena calidad que pega a la perfección a cada una de esas delicias :-)
Por otro lado, la presentación de los platos es excelente y te dan información de cada uno de los platos y de los distintos vinos que vas probando. Le daría 6 estrellas si fuera posible!!!!
Cocina excelente. Tienen dos menús, con el corto hay más que suficiente. Buenos vinos y servicio excelente
