A content creator called Edurne shared a video online about a meal at the Disfrutar restaurant, in Barcelona, and the experience quickly caught attention: in the end, she displayed the total paid, €970, and summarized a moment on the menu with the phrase “it feels like you’re eating dirt”
The case was publicized in an article by the Spanish newspaper AS, which describes the visit as a “sensory experience” typical of haute cuisine, but with prices considered difficult for most wallets.
In the video, the influencer shows the different “passes” on the menu and ends with the bill on the screen, reinforcing the final value of the meal.
What happened at Disfrutar
According to the report, the experience begins with small creations, including a “cat’s tongue” with an obulate and passion fruit base, described as something close to a slush.
One of the most talked about moments comes when she tastes a dish made up of “10 sprouts” and is invited to guess the flavors. After tasting it, the reaction is immediate: “it feels like you’re eating dirt”, he says in the video, in a spontaneous and personal assessment of the dish’s taste.
The publication also mentions other menu proposals, such as a vegetable “palette” that imitates a painting palette, a puff pastry with “fake caviar” and a Chinese bread stuffed with sour cream and caviar, which the content creator says is one of the characteristic dishes.
Why the bill may skyrocket
The Michelin Guide classifies Disfrutar with three stars, highlighting the inventive character and technical creativity of the restaurant, led by three chefs (Eduard Xatruch, Oriol Castro and Mateu Casañas).
On the restaurant’s official website, tasting menus are priced at €315 (with expiration dates per period), which helps to explain why a meal there can quickly reach high prices when drinks, pairings and other extras are included.
In the case shared by Edurne, the value mentioned in the video and in the article is €970, presented as the final total of the experience shown in the images.
The debate on the networks
According to , the episode illustrates a frequent contrast: on the one hand, the promise of “experience” in haute cuisine; on the other, the perception that certain dishes, often designed to provoke surprise, can divide opinions, especially when the price is high.
The phrase “eating dirt” became the most viral detail, but it does not necessarily mean a criticism of the restaurant as a whole: it is, above all, an excerpt of reaction to a specific moment, in a menu built precisely to defy expectations.
Meanwhile, Disfrutar’s status in the Michelin universe remains: three stars, frequent waiting list and reputation for highly creative cuisine, a type of proposal that, as we can see, can fascinate some and leave others uncomfortable with unusual flavors and textures.
