Divinum

A FABULOUS MEAL for 23 Euros each.
Appetizer of pork jowl.
Then — roasted pumpkin with Iberian Ham and a poached egg with morel and truffles
Then — Veal and squid ink rice with calamari
Then — two amazing desserts, the highlight being yogurt and coconut and mango
It’s an experience.
They treat you like a king.
We LOVED it.
However, we walked in — the place wasn’t full — and the hostess was rude and tried to send us away saying that there were no reservations left. Someone else heard this and insisted that we be sat. I think she didn’t like that we were American. They sat us separately in a back room when there were empty tables. –1 for this.

Quite possibly the best meal of my life.
We couldn’t get into the #1 or #2 restaurant on the Trip Advisor list, but I am so glad we didn’t! Divinum was the best meal and service I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve eaten at some of the best restaurants in the U.S. There’s not one restaurant I’ve been to that has come even close to the exceptional variety of dishes and absolutely impeccable service. The restaurant is lovely — interesting art on the walls and nice décor without being too pretentious.
My husband decided to splurge and get a tasting menu for each of us, he had the 6 course tasting menu for 30 Euros and I had the 9 course tasting menu for 42 euros. I know many people share the tasting menu, but we wanted a special dinner out. We were not disappointed. The menu is in Catalan, so the kind server/​manager went through the list and explained each item in English. There were a few dishes we couldn’t eat, he kindly replaced them with anything on the menu we wanted.
30 Euro Menu:
Parmesan and ham salad with fruit vinegrette — amazing
Figs with Foie Gras — even more amazing
6 pasta sachets with shredded ham — mind blowing (our favorite)
Tuna tartare– amazing
Duck breast — absolutely perfect
Chocolate dessert — awesome
42 euro menu:
Langoustine soup — amazing
Foie Gras with Caramel and pistachio garnish — the best foie gras I’ve had in my life
Smoked Salmon — amazing
Pasta — ridiculously amazing
Tuna Tartare — amazing
Duck — best duck ever
Artisan cheeses — lovely
Mojito lime sorbet dessert — refreshing, awesome!
We’ve gone to tasting menu restaurants in Madrid on our trip, nothing compares to Divinum.
The service was prompt, friendly and extremely helpful. I’ve never had such attentive service. With each item, we received new silverware and our dishes were whisked away almost immediately. We asked for a wine recommendation, it was a mere 20 euros and amazing.
For the value, 42 euros or 30, you cannot beat this place. We’ve payed twice as much for food ½ as good.
Absolutely the best meal of my life!
