Reserva Iberica The Kitchen

This was our favorite meal in Spain so far. We tried the Iberico ham sampler, croquettes, and had the pork with potato confit. It was incredible. Better than any ham/jamon we have tried anywhere else. The staff were also super kind and helpful to describe everything. I would come back here in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.

We had an unforgettable evening at Reserva Ibérica - The Kitchen in Barcelona — hands down the best meal we had in Spain. My boyfriend works in the meat industry and was eager to try Ibérico pork beyond the famous jamón. We rushed to make it before closing, and although the kitchen was winding down, the maître d’ went out of his way to ask the chef. Not only did the chef agree to cook for us, but he even came to the front to chat with us personally while our table was being prepared — such a genuine, welcoming gesture that set the tone for the night. The hospitality here is truly top-tier. The food? Absolutely incredible. We started with anchovies in vinegar — simple, but so delicious, and honestly among the best we had in our four days in Spain. Then came some of the finest jamón we’ve ever tasted, followed by the stars of the night: presa and pluma Ibérica “steaks.” They were everything you could want — tender, juicy, bursting with flavor, yet prepared in a way that let the quality of the meat shine without overcomplication. Simple gastronomy at its very best. We were also treated to a phenomenal dessert: the local crema catalana, easily the best version we tried anywhere. Even my boyfriend, who doesn’t usually like sweets, devoured it. And to top it all off, the team suggested the perfect drink pairings — including introducing us to a traditional Galician digestif, aguardiente de hierbas (an herbal liqueur made from Albariño grapes). It was so smooth and aromatic it even turned my devoted whisky-drinking partner into a fan. From start to finish, this was a feast — not just of food but of warmth, hospitality, and a true love of Spanish gastronomy. If you want to experience Ibérico pork in all its glory, this is the place.

Put simply this was the best food we had in Barcelona. We wish we had tried it earlier. If you want to sample true local cuisine go here. The staff are very helpful and like to explain the origins of the produce they use which is awesome. We had the marinated anchovies....Amazing!! Tomato bread, Asparagus also amazing! For our main we had the prok and potato confit. Honestly, it was the best pork I have ever had in my life! We finished it off with a Spanish version of French toast which was also lovely. This place is a must!!

Amazing wine, amazing food and the service was the best we have experienced in Barcelona. Gines hosted us brilliantly. Fantastic experience and so friendly. Wish I could give 6 stars.

A perfect ending to my trip in Barcelona. Every dish was unique and memorable, and the staff were super nice and welcoming. Truly a restaurant I’ll miss — can’t wait to come back next time!

Delicious food and great services. A hidden gem! All dishes are cooked to high standard. A very tasty meal

The food and service were excellent! I loved the ham croquettes and the steak.

Fantastic food and great vibes! The scallops were divine — tender and full of flavor — and that grilled truffle cheese bikini was next-level comfort food. Paired with a nice glass of red wine, it made for a perfect afternoon meal. Highly recommend!
