Abrassame

Abrassame con capacidad para 200 comensales (muy holgados) se distinguen diferentes espacios: un rincón que hace de bodega, un privado para eventos y una enorme barra, con la parte de cocina dedicada a la brasa a la vista. Aunque quieren ser identificados con la brasa, que hacen mediante un horno tipo Josper dan más opciones. No hay peligro salir oliendo a día de campo. Tienen menús para el fin de semana por algo más de 26 euros bastante completo, además de los fijos y diferentes menús menú degustación como el que nosotros tomamos. Abrassame es una buena opción para comer o cenar en un buen ambiente, con vistas extraordinarias con un precio que se amolda a lo que quieras gastar, ya que ofrecen Diferente menús, tapas o bien su carta. Nos sentimos bien atendidos ademas de disfrutar de unas vistas magníficas. Para salir de lo habitual en un centro comercial. No es de estrella Michelín, pero es una muy buena opción para la oferta que suele haber en los centros comerciales. Nos llevamos una grata sorpresa

Very cozy restaurant at the top of the Arenas. We were seated around 5:30ish and at 6:15 we saw the beautiful sunset over the city of Barcelona. We had friends with us & had the opportunity to sample some of their dishes in the menu.
Barcelona loves to start their meals with calamari, or grilled octopus with sangria or wine. The grilled octopus was marinated in olive oil & had a distinct strong flavor. Our friends loved it but I took one piece & pretended it was good. I orderedthe salad with strawberries, walnuts, & greens, not bad. My husband ordered the salmon supreme which was about 8 oz with some potatoes on the side. I tried a piece but it tasted a bit fishy. I asked for the beef steak, 200gms. The menu did not mention whether it was a ribeye, salmon or sirloin & the waiter had no clue what part it was. I’m not familiar with their standards of cooking beef so I ordered medium. When it arrived, it looked more like a thin piece of ribeye and yes, it was pink in the center. Mediocre in flavor but it was cooked.
When i ordered the pineapple flambee i was expecting a flaming pan in front of me, instead, it came out cold & sweet. Our friend ordered a custard that looked like a crème brûlée but did not taste like a crème brûlée. Another one was the volcanic rocks– chunks of chocolate that makes a little explosive sensation in your mouth just like tye way Nerds do (if you had Nerds when you were a kid, you’d know what I’m talking about). It was quite interesting so we each tried a piece & it was entertaining.
The interior décor is quite lovely using reds, blacks & white hues. Modern table & furniture are used. I would recommend sitting by the glass window so you can watch either the sunset or the night lights coming from the street below. Even if I rated it 3 stars you oughta try it. The locals seem to dig this place.

The view getting to the restaurant was excellent, the view at the restaurant is of the back side of Barcelona. I went alone at lunch (3pm) and it was not busy so the service was very good and very friendly. The place is exceptionally clean with white linen table covers. Their English was good. I ordered the daily special 3-​courses of your choice from a list of about 8 items for each of the first two courses. The list itself was varied enough to accommodate most diners. The price was 14.50 euros and included a glass of wine (Montiero Viura — which is refreshing for hot weather). The mussels were served hot and a perfect portion for one and excellently flavored in an onion, garlic and pepper confit. The second course was Fideo noodles with cuddle fish, a shrimp and a mussel. The portion size was good, the shrimp and mussels quantity were left at one each with plenty of chopped cuddle fish. Both the first course and second course we’re over salted and some people like that. I have high blood pressure so I am used to a low salt diet. The dessert was an outstanding mango sorbet with a cherry reduction. A good lunch worthy of 4-​stars.

Helpful server providing good suggestions. Nice romantic setting for two. Food taste good. We tried fish and seafood paella and Fish and Chips. Both turned out very delicious. The half bowl of mussels for appetizer are enough for two and it was quite good.

No le pongo cero de puntuación porque no puedo. El metre nos ha atendido fatal. Han sido extremadamente lentos. Han preguntado por el punto de la carne para luego hacer caso omiso de lo que le habíamos dicho. Y para finalizar el entrecot es caro.

Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices, and great food. I don’t quite remember much else from that experience.

We learned about this restaurant from some travel blog that mentioned gluten free. Once we finally found the restaurant (it’s at the top of the Arenas shopping center) we were pretty disappointed at the level of gluten free awareness we encountered. Most of the waitstaff had no clue and the Manager wasn’t entirely sure either and did the standard «you can have salad» routine. We ended up rolling the dice and getting the paella anyways, which ended up being quite good. There were several other restaurants at the top of this shopping center and I’m afraid I can’t convince you that Abrassame is any better than the other options.

Rien a redire, service impeccable, personnel parlant français, plat vraiment tres tres bons. et vue imprenable depuis le resto puisque il est situé au 5etage tout en haut des arenes de barcelone.
Je le recommande vivement

The ambiance is really nice in this place. It is modern with an open kitchen and located on the rooftop of the Las Arenas shopping center overlooking Plaza Espana but the food and service were mediocre at best… much less for a 100 euro meal! My steak was well done and I asked for medium. It also looked big but had a considerable amount of fat on it leaving on a small portion of edible meat. It also came with french fries as a side… hey maybe that’s just Spain. My boyfriend’s leg of lamb was bland and nothing to rave about. We ordered the brownie for dessert and no joke. it was the size of a domino. This place is supposedly known for their seafood and maybe that’s where we went wrong, but I would suggest taking your 100 euros elsewhere and just visiting the view up there for free.
