Recensioni su Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona

We stayed in Barcelona with friends and were looking for somewhere to eat on Passeig De Gracia. I am a long time fan of MO so we stopped for a lunch at Blanco. The restaurant is in the atrium basement and is well lit, bright and Catalonian crip and stylish. Tables are well spaced and as you would expect for a hotel sporting multiple etoiles, service and food quality were exceptional. But here is the surprise - it is also reasonably priced. We ate in a group of 3 adults and 3 children, the latter all having an well presented, well thought through children' menu. The entire meal with a bottle of wine was less than we paid the prior night at a run of the mill tapas bar. Food is cooked to perfection (this is the MO - expect nothing less) and the flavors coupled with the presentation made the entire meal a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable experience. Now to the service. Of course the MO is legendary for its spectacularly attentive and intelligently delivered service. We had the delight of being looked after by Rui. He was a genius, not only automatically providing the kids with everything they needed, before asking and before they knew they wanted or needed it, but he also treated the entire party with a gracious hospitality that I have not seen in many establishments. I could go on, but the point is the MO service in Barcelona is testament to their standards and principles and as a customer this makes for a superb experience. Shall return.....soon I hope. Great experience. Thank you
