The story
At ABaC in Barcelona, chef Jordi Cruz proposes a gastronomic journey through his dishes. The restaurant describes its cuisine as "líquida y orgánica que fluye" — liquid and organic, in constant flow. Each plate is conceived as a small landscape, drawing on life, water, nature and roots, meant to be savored without hurry.
This is high-end cooking that honors tradition to create avant-garde, conceptual, and surprising dishes — a philosophy that has earned ABaC three Michelin stars. The kitchen balances creativity with precise technique, turning familiar flavors into something unexpected. The result is a tasting menu that feels both rooted and daring.
ABaC is located on Avinguda del Tibidabo, in a century-old house hidden in the Sant Gervasi neighborhood, surrounded by a garden. The space is intimate and welcoming, an urban oasis where the restaurant also shares its address with a small hotel. The atmosphere is elegant, with several private rooms suitable for exclusive celebrations or corporate events. The team, described as "cabeza, manos y corazón" — head, hands and heart — works in synchrony, pouring passion into every plate.
The restaurant offers a dedicated tasting menu experience, the "Menú Degustación ABaC," designed to let guests discover the full range of chef Cruz's creations in this singular setting.
