Amazing excellent food and ambience. Truly a hidden gem. The dishes were amazing and excellent. Not a typical meal. Worth the walk from Parc Güell. Absolutely delicious!!!!!

Excellent service. Creative and delicious food. I truly enjoyed the PESTO XUIXO and SUMMER SALAD. The BORRAXU (IXO) was perhaps the best dessert I have ever eaten.

I visited Insolent for the first time last week and was thoroughly impressed. The staff is absolutely amazing and has extensive knowledge of the wines. We followed Javi's recommendations, and the food was incredible. They treat their products with great care, and the chefs are very professional. The dishes were exceptionally good. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. The prices are also very reasonable.

The anchovy toast and the eel were two flavor profiles I have never experienced. Both were wonderful.
