"The Disfrutar trio bring three-star technique to a EUR115 sharing table in Sant Antoni — book it to mark an occasion."
About Compartir Barcelona
The same three cooks who run the world-famous Disfrutar — Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas, all veterans of elBulli — opened Compartir in Barcelona in June 2022 at Carrer del Parlament 53, a block from the markets of Sant Antoni. It is the city sibling of their original Compartir in Cadaqués, and it takes the trio's three-Michelin-star ideas and loosens them into a menu built for sharing. The room sits in the MICHELIN Guide and trades the long tasting format for plates that land in the middle of the table.
The Kitchen
The kitchen runs the same playbook that made Disfrutar famous, scaled to a sharing table. The signature is the Disfrutar 'panchino', a warm brioche split and filled with caviar and sour cream, eaten in one bite. Around it come a rotating run of oysters, brown crab dressed with avocado and trout roe, and seafood plates that read modern and Mediterranean at once. A tasting menu runs about EUR115 per person, with most sharing plates ordered a la carte on top.
What separates the cooking from ordinary tapas is the precision: the same emulsions, temperatures and trompe-l'oeil tricks the trio built at elBulli, served without the ceremony of a fixed degustation. You order boldly, the table fills, and the kitchen keeps the technique invisible behind food that is meant to be passed around. See how the city's creative cooking stacks up in our guide to the best Spanish restaurants and the wider tasting-menu field.
The Room
Compartir is bright and low-key by the standards of its pedigree — pale wood, open kitchen, a relaxed Sant Antoni address rather than a starched dining room. The mood is convivial and the volume rises as tables fill, which suits a format built on sharing and ordering together. Service is informed and quick to steer you through the plates. Book ahead: the room is small and the Disfrutar name fills it.
Best for an Anniversary
Book Compartir for an anniversary or a celebration where you want three-star cooking without a three-hour tasting menu. Two people can share a run of plates and the caviar panchino for a fraction of a Disfrutar booking, and the sharing format keeps the night warm rather than formal. It also reads well for impressing clients who know the Disfrutar story. For more of the city's best tables, see the Barcelona dining guide.
Not for
Not for budget casual diners or anyone wanting a quiet two-top with a fixed menu — the format is loud, shared and built for a table that orders boldly and runs up a bill.
Frequently Asked
Who are the chefs behind Compartir Barcelona?
Compartir Barcelona is run by Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casanas, the trio who also own the three-Michelin-star Disfrutar and trained together at elBulli. They opened Compartir in Sant Antoni in June 2022 as the sharing-format sibling of their Cadaques original, and the same technical DNA runs through both kitchens.
What should I order at Compartir Barcelona?
Start with the Disfrutar 'panchino', a warm brioche filled with caviar and sour cream, then build a sharing spread of oysters, brown crab with avocado and trout roe, and the seafood plates. A tasting menu runs about EUR115 per person, or order a la carte and pass everything around the table, which is how the room is designed to be eaten.
How do I book a table at Compartir Barcelona?
Reserve through the restaurant's own website. The dining room is small and the Disfrutar name keeps it full, so book one to two weeks ahead for weekends and prime evening seatings. Compartir sits at Carrer del Parlament 53 in Sant Antoni, a block from the Sant Antoni market and walkable from Poble Sec.
Is Compartir Barcelona the same as Disfrutar?
No, but they share owners. Disfrutar is the trio's flagship long tasting-menu restaurant and holds three Michelin stars; Compartir is their sharing-plate room with the same technique in a more relaxed, a la carte format. If you cannot get a Disfrutar table, Compartir is the closest taste of that kitchen's ideas.
How much does dinner at Compartir Barcelona cost?
Plan on roughly EUR60 to EUR140 per person depending on how you order. The tasting menu is about EUR115, while a la carte sharing plates let you set your own pace and total. Wine pushes the bill up quickly given the list. See our best restaurants for an anniversary for more rooms at this level.
