Enigma Concept
Address: Carrer de Sepúlveda, 38, 40, 08015 Barcelona, Spain
Telephone: (+34)616696322
Website: https://elbarri.com/restaurant/enigma/
At Enigma, dining is like an art. This igloo inspired restaurant provides diners with an imaginative dining experience and a one of a kind décor. The team behind Enigma Concept is none other than that of the former El Bulli, a Costa Brava restaurant, previously known as the most famous restaurant in the world.
The dining experience is an entirely immersive and sensory-filled, with metallic ceilings, and furniture that resembles ice, and no menu insight, so guests have to guess the ingredients (Phillips, 2017). The ultramodern restaurant consists of six different rooms and spans over 7,500 square ft. Dinner is spread over 40 courses and takes around 3.5 to 6 hours to eat. In each room waits for a surprise, where each course is unpredictably different than the other. Conde Nast Traveller has described Enigma as Barcelona’s most secret restaurant, and that is right. Guests are discouraged from posting photos, as to maintain the allure behind the cuisine. Reservations are a must, as booking costs $ 100 and dinner costs 235 dollars minus the drinks (Odell, 2017). Dining at Enigma is not like your typical restaurant visit, but more of an experience, for those with an experimental, imaginative pallet.
