This is a purposeful journey through many different ideas and experiences, the vast majority was Genius at work, some work in progress, and others really mentally challenging that I’m sure will take us a long time to understand and appreciate. Genius takes years to understand and Enigma is about experimentation and testing boundaries of ingredients, techniques, textures and flavours. Now, tackling a review of Enigma was harder than expected, but the creative essence of this restaurant came to me after walking through the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, as initially it was extremely difficult to articulate what this restaurant was about. admirers of Albert Adrià “One of the World’s Best Pastry Chefs“ we decided to stay in Barcelona and try one of the many great restaurants this city has to offer and the ‘latest gastronomic expression’ of Albert.

The environment is weird, it’s a combination of being in a spaceship or artificial womb, with somewhat intrusive music and nightclub like lighting, but just relax and go with it and it’s a lot of fun. The only strange thing was that they seem to close early, we would happily have kept on exploring the wine and cocktail list and picking up snacks, but they close earlier than any restaurant in Barcelona it seems! One disappointment was the option to go to the burger bar, it’s a great burger sure but there are great burgers in a lot of places these days and there was nothing unique about it as with almost all of the other courses which were very innovative, especially the campari meringue, and the perfected chicken wings. It seems it may have changed a bit since we visited in its opening week. You can pick and choose what you like, we were not instructed to take a tasting menu or that there was a minimum spend, as some others have suggested, but we did spend around €150-200 each anyway which was just what we expected given the info on the website beforehand. We had the same array of great cocktails, lovely champagne and strange. There was no real difference in the experience other than the music was a bit louder in the evening. Visited twice in one week, once for ‘afternoon drinks’ and once in the evening.
