Imprevisto · Restaurant · Barcelona
A surprise tasting menu of seven or ten courses in the Eixample, with an open kitchen and a chef's counter.
Imprevisto is a surprise tasting-menu restaurant on Carrer de Mallorca in the Eixample, near the Mercat de la Concepcio. Guests sit down without knowing what will arrive, and the kitchen decides the menu. Italian chefs Luca Pinna and Raffaelle D'Avico lead the kitchen, and the restaurant is listed in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026.
The dining room is modern and minimalist, with a completely open kitchen built into it. Facing the stoves is the Chef's Counter, a bar for two guests with a front-row view of the cooks, booked with the longer menu and its wine pairing.
The kitchen offers two tasting menus, of seven or ten courses, both built on market produce and the season and changed constantly. The cooking is contemporary with international touches, and MICHELIN's inspectors mention an ajoblanco with eel and a tender pigeon with lightly crisp skin. The menus can be adapted for vegetarians and for allergies when the kitchen is told at the time of booking. Sommelier Alberto Jaime Leon keeps a cellar strong in local wines, alongside Spanish and international labels, and pours an optional pairing with each menu.
Dinner is served Tuesday to Saturday, with lunch added on Friday and Saturday. The house keeps short hours, 8 pm to 9:30 pm in the evening and 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm at lunch. Tables are booked online, in the dining room or at the Chef's Counter.
Address: Carrer de Mallorca 308, Eixample, 08037 Barcelona, Barcelona
