Question 4

What happens if we have booked for (example) 3 and one does not come?

Attendees will be charged for the total number of diners booked as their purchase and preparation will have been done in advance. You can ask for the dishes of the absent person to be served anyway, in any case the menu will be charged in full.

Question 5

Have I been asked for a credit card when booking, is there any charge on that card?

Question 6

Can I take a break during the experience to go out for a smoke?

Accepted Answer

It is always convenient to let a waiter know if you wish to take a short break, he will indicate the best time to do so, in the case of having presented your next pass, if you do not let us know of your break, this dish will be lost and will not be cooked again. Remember that all diners enjoy the experience in unison.

Question 7

I am a vegetarian, do you recommend the experience?

Accepted Answer

At UMA we strive to make the vegetarian experience as interesting and complete as the omnivorous alternative. In the case of vegetarian menus we do appreciate the freedom to cook with dairy, eggs and mushrooms so as not to excessively close the range of possibilities. Unfortunately, we do not have the necessary resources to offer a proposal adapted to exclusively vegan diets.

Question 8

Do you accommodate allergies and intolerances?

Accepted Answer

Allergies and intolerances must be communicated at the time of booking. Otherwise, we will not be able to guarantee the required modifications. In order to fully enjoy the experience, we recommend that you do not request modifications unless they are strictly necessary and for health reasons.

We do not have private parking but we are located a few meters from parking lots, either in Paseo de Gracia or Pau Claris.

Question 12

How many courses are on the menu?

Accepted Answer

The number of courses depends on the menu: ESSENCE has 8 courses and CLASSIC has 10 to 12. GRAND GOURMET extends the Classic experience with exclusive products and is a bespoke menu by Chef Iker Erauzkin, with a number of courses that changes with his creative proposal. The structure is not fixed: it adapts and changes with the seasonal menu.

Question 13

What is the difference between Essence, Classic and Grand Gourmet?

Accepted Answer

They are three versions of the same tasting menu, with chef Iker Erauzkin’s cooking and seasonal produce. What changes is the length, the produce and the level of personalisation.

UMA ESSENCE (€86): 8 courses, in less time. Served in the dining room only.

UMA CLASSIC (€125 in the dining room, €140 at the Chef’s Table or Kitchen Counter): snacks, 10-12 savoury dishes and 2 desserts, over about two and a half hours.

UMA GRAND GOURMET (€186 in the dining room, €200 at the Chef’s Table or Kitchen Counter): extends the Classic with exclusive, top-level produce. It is a bespoke experience designed by the chef, so the number of courses is not fixed and changes with his creative proposal.

Prices per person, VAT included, drinks not included. Wine pairing is optional.

Question 14

Which menu is right for me?

Accepted Answer

ESSENCE is the option for a first visit to UMA or when you have less time: the house cooking in a shorter, more accessible version. CLASSIC is the full experience, to be enjoyed without rushing. If you want to watch the chef cook up close, book the Chef's Table or Kitchen Counter. GRAND GOURMET is for a special occasion or for those who want to go all the way: exclusive produce and a menu the chef creates just for you. If you are unsure, call us on +34 656 99 09 30 and we will help you choose.

Question 16

I have a gift voucher, where do I redeem it and what do I do when I am asked for the card to make a reservation?

Accepted Answer

We have always said that UMA is a single private room: we always offer the possibility of privatizing the entire space for 14 or more diners, and also of booking the whole restaurant for other events.

Question 24

Can I come with my child, is there a children's menu?

Accepted Answer

Being a 2h-2h30 experience we do not recommend that you come with children, that said, you know your child and you know if he/she will be able to endure the experience without interfering with the rest of the diners. The same goes for babies, they should not interfere with the experience of the rest of the guests. If you must stop to feed your baby, the rhythm of the service will continue and you will probably miss a dish, likewise, we ask you to be aware that the cries or complaints of a baby may be annoying to other diners.
We do not offer children’s menus or similar alternatives.
