Description

A restaurant with an informal yet elegant ambience that is perfect for couples and which takes its name from the Swahili word for “fork”. The completely open-view kitchen at the centre is perfect for guests to watch chef Iker Erauzkin in action from their individual tables. This fine-dining experience, which is based around the best-quality ingredients and creative cooking, is presented on three menus (Essence, Classic and Grand Gourmet) that need to be booked and confirmed ahead of time. Punctuality is also key as every guest will start their surprise menu at exactly the same time.

Review summary

Uma in Barcelona holds a 4.3/5 average rating, praised for its creative cuisine blending traditional bases with Japanese or Oriental elements, often served in an elegant open-kitchen setting. Guests appreciate the beautiful design and generally attentive staff. However, inconsistencies exist: some report rushed pacing after delays, soft-spoken servers causing communication issues, and sommeliers being too busy to assist promptly. Negative experiences highlight concerns over unexpected charges, poor handling of specific requests like bread, and isolated incidents of exorbitant wine bills. While most find the food quality high and the atmosphere relaxing, potential diners should be aware of occasional service lapses and billing ambiguities.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking creative fusion cuisine and an open-kitchen experience who can tolerate occasional service inconsistencies.
