We found this place by accident and both of us think it was the best meal of our lives. For just 26 Euro we had exquisite, creative, delicious, tempting food that kept coming. Maybe 7 courses- including a lasse smoothie to start, three kinds of dessert, frog legs, beef, sushi, a great salad and artwork that kept us talking all evening. We highly recommend it! July 2010

The food at Santa Maria is great and very punk rock! The food is filled with amazing unexpected flavors! The service was great too, very helpful, and knowledgeable. The food was not expensive for the quality. Portion sizes were tapas size,it was great to be able to try lots of things!!! Try the Dracula dessert its bound to delight!

Well nice food indeed but:

Very expensive food ,little tiny portions
People who works there are not that nice.
I wont come back .there are much better place in bcn.

We went with a class of the seventh year specialisation kitchen, everything was very very good. we come back in february. greetings from us all

un excellant restaurant.
pour découvrir un conseil, prenez le menu dégustation : foie gras poellé croustillant ... enchois aux fraises acidulées ... sushi ... et de très bons vins espagnols à prix raisonnables
deux étages, un comptoir complet, heuresement il reste une salle dans la cave...

I'm a student from Belgium and I worked in Santa Maria for school in the kitchen 3months last summer, and believe me, I had the time of my life there! Everybody was so nice and sweet and they new that I was there to learn the Spanish kitchen, what will say that they teached me and let me work, not just look! The food is very special but everything you taste will be delicious! The kitchen will stay special, everything they serve, is taste by all the people who works there before they serve it to the costumers! This is very good, because you know what you serve and can also explain to the costumers what they can expect!
Keep your nice enthousiasm to work this hard and give a lot of people a nice meal that they will never forget!!

big kiss and love you all!!

a beautiful man works here.

this resturant is amazing. there is also a bar down the way thats there... this is amazing.

Went there by coincidence on a rainy Thursday eve in june: Thought they would serve traditional spanish tapas and were just overwhelmed by the best "higado con ensaimada de cabello de angel" Never knew that liver can be such a delight in combination with sweet pastry. Very good wine at reasonable prices - simply wonderful!

Amazing food, fantastic new flavours!! Excellent atmosphere. Unfortunately the service is tragic. Since they don't make reservations they should have the ability to handle the customers better when no tables are available for the next 30min.

Complements to the chef and an advice: Please, find a capable hostess!!

Went to Sanata Maria for ameal a couple of years ago - very good. Tried to book a table for two for a visit in April. The miserable bastards now only book for a table of five people. There's plenty of other places in Barcelona! Bollocks to them.
