Last year we visited Ibaya and the impression of the experience was just flawless, with that in mind we invited our friend to share the experience together this year and it was nothing but a disappointment. The menu got quite poor, less fish, less meat and some of the courses though were good enough to be a tad memorable, like caviar with Maresme Peas, but last year’s version was much more exquisite. The pigeon’s foot and rabbit’s ear killed the vibe and left an unpleasant feeling of disgust. All the desserts were the same as the last year’s versions-still extremely sugary and sweet leaving a strong desire to brush the teeth.

I'll keep it nice and short: it was perfection.

1. The food was inventive and exquisite. Some of the original ideas just felt brilliant (unlike some restaurants where originality feels convoluted, forced and awkward). Portions are perfectly sized. Desserts are inventive, beautiful and light.

2. The service is exactly how I like it. Professional, very attentive, elegant yet relaxed, full of humour and multilingual (which is important in our multilingual family).

3. The atmosphere is elegant and subtle. Perfection by my standards.

We had the 11 courses meal and only about 3 courses were good. Some dishes were simply inedible, the pigeon was salty to an unbearable amount, the chicken liver had a bad after taste and one of the desserts was also badly flavored.
The cotton candy dessert was great and the wine was also great.
The presentation was wonderful but the taste was sub-par.

I don’t understand some of the negative reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner and found the courses (about 20!) very creative, especially when taking into accout how remote Andorra is and how its geography and climate can really limit fresh food options for chefs.

The choices for wine by the glass were also delicious. The service was impeccable from the servers and sommelier, from greeting until departure. The pace was perfect.

I have probably eaten at 100 or so Michellin-star restaurants, and Ibaya definitely deserve its star (not that this alone makes Ibaya a great restaurant; it has earned my admiration well beyond this subjective rating). We will definitely be returning after a great experience at the restaurant.

You get a card with every plate explaining the story of the food!
And at the end you get to keep the collection of your cards as a souvenir.
This is a nice touch that definitely adds to the experience.
However only 4 of the 11 course were exceptional… hence the 4*
