I had dinner tonight at El Taller del Xiquet, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. I was warmly welcomed by Chef Danny himself, which set the tone for a truly special evening. Every dish was outstanding. The octopus was perfectly tender with incredible flavor, and the fideuà was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had rich, comforting, and full of depth. I finished with the chocolate dessert, which was as beautiful as it was delicious. The atmosphere felt relaxed yet refined, and the service was excellent throughout. It’s clear a lot of care goes into every detail. Can’t wait to come back!

I had an amazing experience at El Taller del Xiquet, sister concept to Michelin Star restaurant Xiquet. I had a light fare on a Friday night, and everything was spot on. I can’t wait to come back!

Excellent seafood salad appetizer and duck paella (with far more delicious crust on the bottom than in most paellas. Excellent service as well. Deserves to be better known.

What a special place! Such a wonderful concept to be able to experience Michelin-level food and service à la carte. I thoroughly enjoyed every single thing I ate, and the service was top notch. I loved the personal touches to the décor as well, with photos of the chef's childhood with family in Spain adorning the walls. You can tell how personal his cooking is and that what he puts out truly tells a story. It's a perfect place for a beautiful, Michelin-level dinner at a more accessible price point. Definitely recommend.

The portions were pretty small for the price - we each just received one piece of the 4 cheeses. We were also not brought our wine until after the appetizer. It felt like we were sitting in a basement and the lighting was super bright

The excitement of El Taller is the ever changing menu. Although some may like the same dish over and over, being able to see what chef is thinking to cook upstairs or try things that chef loved so much he brought then downstairs. It is more exciting than seasonal menu changes as this menu reflects the art of cooking.
