Review summary

DIREKTE in Barcelona offers modern fusion cuisine centered around an open kitchen and bar seating, fostering interaction between diners and chefs. Positive reviews highlight fresh local ingredients, particularly Catalan produce paired with Asian touches in small plates like the Boqueria menu, alongside good wine selections and generally attentive service. Conversely, negative feedback cites inconsistent food quality, with some guests reporting unpleasantly sour or sickening dishes and billing disputes regarding no-shows. While the atmosphere is engaging, concerns about flavor balance and occasional service lapses exist. It suits adventurous diners seeking novelty, but those prioritizing consistent traditional flavors may find it polarizing.
