This is from Cinc Sentits in Barcelona from early January. They focus on ‘modern interpretations of Catalan cuisine.’ Overall, I think this is a fantastic spot and found it to be a good deal for the quality of the food.
Amuse-bouche – bottom left is ‘faifo olive’ that was liquid, other two are smoked arrengada with roasted peppers and smoked pimenton, and a crispy chicken skin with pine nut emulsion, chicken liver parfait, and dried plum.
​
1. Oyster and Caviar – crayfish tartar, crayfish claw oil, delta’s oyster cream, and pyrenees’ caviar 2. Calamari – onion and calamari sofrito, fresh chickpeas, calamari ink crisp, reduced white wine cream, picada oil, seaweed bubbles 3. Chestnut – roasted sweet potato with bay leaf butter, fried egg, crispy autumn ‘leaves’, and smoked mimetic chestnut 4. Scallop – sunchoke puree, roasted onion glaze, pan seared scallop, jamon iberico 5. Turbot – pil pil glaze with finger lime, roasted bone reduction, shaved porcini mushrooms, and roasted salsify 6. (6.1 and 6.2) – Partridge – breast roulade, koji-fermented onion butter, cabbage-quince escabeche, pickled and fermented beets, thigh glazed in dark beer, red currant dust, and fresh quince sphere 7. Cinc Sentits Shot – warm maple syrup, chilled fresh cream, sea salt, cava sabayon 8. Lemon – lemon ice cream, lemon curd, lemon bubbles, lemon cake and syrup 9. Smoked Milk – homemade dulce de leche, caramel nitro pops, candied ginger, yogurt rocks 10. Last Temptations – red currant present on a butter cookie, pistachio christmas tree
​
Bonus – caramel ice cream, at the beginning of the meal they have you pick between three cards Lust, Pleasure, and Excitement and the flavor of the ice cream bar is based on what you picked. They also give you a small tube of chocolate to take home!
This is the full tasting menu which is 189 euros and there is a light menu of 8 courses that is 159 euros. The full tasting menu was plenty of food for me. Overall, a great meal where every dish was wonderful. Definitely one of the better two star restaurants that I’ve been to!
