Description

Located in the Wittmore (awarded a MICHELIN Key) and tucked away in the city’s Gothic Quarter, Contraban boasts a somewhat secretive ambience. Its contemporary-style cooking, which it describes as being inspired by emotions and feelings (freedom, surprise, longing, frustration, etc.), is based around classical French cuisine. The varied menu includes some dishes to share, such as cod fritters with lime mayonnaise. The indoor terrace is incredibly charming and... they also offer brunch at weekends!

Review summary

Contraban, located in the Wittmore Hotel in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, offers contemporary refined cuisine. Reviews frequently praise the high food quality, inventive dishes, and excellent presentation, with some noting its star-worthy caliber. The atmosphere is described as beautiful and suitable for romantic dinners, though winter terrace seating was criticized for being cold. Service is generally professional and attentive, but negative feedback highlights issues with rushed pacing, long waits, and inconsistent table maintenance. While many find the value for money good, others mention small portions or billing errors.
