Named the thirteenth highest rated restaurant in Barcelona by TripAdvisor, Accés takes prime position on the city’s dining scene. Their impressive rating comes at no surprise, given their contemporary touch on traditional Catalan fare, complemented by the swanky eatery’s modish interior. Welcoming the city’s fashionable elite, both tourists and locals alike, Accés’ restaurant and lounge is a faultless choice to enjoy a first-rate dinner, or a couple of cocktails to kickstart a night out on the town.
Located in the charismatic Eixample district, Accés is unlike any other restaurant in the Catalan capital. Its fusion of fuchsia and silver decor, and cosmopolitan vibe, provides a stylish setting to indulge in their exquisite array of dishes. From the introductory amuse-bouche to the final mouthful of one of their delectable desserts, Accés’ meticulous attention to detail is wildly evident in their flawless presentation and intricate flavours.
In order to fully appreciate Accés’ vast selection of tempting concoctions, their tasting menu comes highly recommended. Consisting of a total of six courses, it provides the opportunity to sample their take on authentic local cuisine with an innovative twist. Such creativity is most notable in their spin on a quintessentially British number: roast beef. Rather than a side serving of Colman’s mustard, Accés serves their impressively delicate slices of beef with an unorthodox mustard ice cream accompaniment. The peculiar yet extraordinary contrast in texture stimulates a unique sensation, and, what’s more, the cooling gelato is an ideal addition if you are seeking a taste of home in Barcelona’s soaring temperatures.
The adjacent kitchen area, separated by a transparent glass divide, allows Accés’ patrons to observe the talented chefs creating their gastronomic masterpieces. The unity between restaurant guests and staff is a foremost reason for why partons return time and time again to this sleek eatery. After all, anyone who frequents Barcelona will know that customer service is not the city’s forte!
