Catalan tasting menus by Raul Balam and Carme Ruscalleda at Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona.
Moments is the fine-dining restaurant of Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona, inside the former bank building at Passeig de Gracia 38-40 in the Eixample. It holds one MICHELIN star in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2026. Chef Raul Balam leads the kitchen with his mother, Carme Ruscalleda, as gastronomic adviser, and the cooking is their seasonal take on Catalan cuisine.
Patricia Urquiola designed the dining room in warm golden tones, and a window opens onto the kitchen so the brigade stays in view from the tables.
The kitchen serves two tasting menus that change with the season. The autumn 2026 menus open with a romesco dashi and move through mazamorra with cured mackerel, black garlic and grapes, a sea-and-mountain course of cod tripe cooked in the callos style, sea bass with fig leaf and roasted figs, and Iberian pork with piquillo peppers, Pedro Ximenez and coffee. The longer menu adds Naccarii caviar with ganxet beans and prawns with rice in their broth. Sommelier Alexandre Zaragoza sets the wine pairing, a non-alcoholic pairing is built from infusions, roots and flowers, and a cheese trolley can close the meal.
Dinner runs Tuesday to Saturday and lunch is served on Saturday only, with last orders at 9pm and 2pm. The dress code is casual elegant, without caps, sleeveless tops or flip-flops, and children are welcome from age five. Vegetarian and vegan versions of the tasting menu are prepared when requested at least 24 hours ahead.
