Somehow managed to trip and fall into a lunch reservation by signing up for the wait list a few months ago for our trip last week. I’ll preface this with the note that this was only my second Michelin star restaurant experience, the first being Guy Savoy a few days before.
Preferred Can Roca experience over Guy Savoy. Dishes were a bit more modern, both in content and presentation. The restaurant itself felt more approachable, which was a nice surprise. Telling the history of the restaurant through the appetizer dishes was interesting, a couple of those were real standouts. The eel was probably my favorite of the mains, the poularde was also quite good. Favorite overall dish for the uniqueness and flavor was the sheep’s milk dessert, it just looks like a pile of wool in the photo, but that was pulled sugar with a dulce de leches (I believe if I’m remembering correctly) cream base.
Overall really enjoyable experience, the lunch testing was huge, I’m not sure how you could even do the full tasting. I believe lunch was a 7 course tasting menu with 17 appetizer dishes.

Thanks for sharing. Had a fantastic dinner there in June. The full tasting took us almost 5 hours for reference. One cool thing is that most of your dishes are different and were not on our menu though they seem to reuse more of the presentations.
I love this place. My number 1 ever of 100+ star restaurants.
