The story
Moments is a Catalan restaurant at Passeig de Gràcia 38-40 in Barcelona, inside the Mandarin Oriental, and it holds one Michelin star for high quality cooking (2026). Chefs Raül Balam and Carme Ruscalleda build their menus around fresh, seasonal produce.
The kitchen reinterprets Catalan cuisine with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal and healthy ingredients. A recent seasonal tasting menu draws on local traditions, reworked with contemporary technique. Vegetarian and vegan versions of the tasting menu are possible if guests share their needs at least 24 hours ahead. The restaurant also holds three radishes in the We're Smart Green Guide for 2026.
Sommelier Alexandre Zaragoza curates the seasonal wine pairing, which includes bottles from some of the world's coldest vineyards. Guests who prefer not to drink can choose a non-alcoholic pairing created by Lucia Zaccari. It uses infusions, roots, flowers and fresh ingredients, developed with producers in southern Catalonia, and follows the seasons from spring to winter.
Patricia Urquiola designed the dining room in warm golden tones. A large window opens onto the kitchen, so diners can watch the team at work. The dress code is smart casual: elegant but relaxed, without caps, sleeveless tops or flip-flops. Children are welcome from age five.
