We hadn't been there in a while and there was anticipation.
The decor has changed, the staff has changed, the menu has changed and even the prices have changed
The Alchemist style remains although it has evolved, increasing in nuances, in flavors. It has always had Asian touches, intense flavors, but this time it seemed more balanced, deeper without losing its essence.
Raising the price increases the demand and there will be those who wonder if it is worth what it costs. For us, without any doubt. Alchemist is creativity, originality, character, surprise, very good product, service of 1st and authentic passion (or perhaps obsession) for what they do.
We recommend you try it.

Small place, centrally located, next to Plaça Mercadal, pleasant and cozy. They have, in addition to the menu, with the possibility of half portions, 3 menus, 2 of them tasting. We chose one of the latter, the Phi, which has a price of €65, and consists of 5 starters, 4 main dishes, and 3 desserts. Everything great. I will return to try the other 2 menus. The attention and service very good, perhaps a little slow. You would be star options in my opinion.

Very good gourmet restaurant and an original and varied menu. The chef also recommended 2 excellent wines including a Cava (Leopardi Gran Reserva 2016) and especially the Selleccio Carinyena 2019....a real discovery at a very affordable price. Only point of attention: the seasoning often a little too salty. The service was very good.

First of all, indicate that we booked 5 days in advance and indicated that one diner had celiac disease. The same day they called me to confirm the reservation and that there would be no problem with gluten, since they had adapted the entire menu.
We ordered a 10-course tasting menu with a price of €60 per person.
All delicious and scarce. We know that in these restaurants the dishes are not abundant, but some of our portions bordered on the ridiculous.
The worst came when asking for the bill, that's when one of the workers, cook or manager, approaches them, I'm not sure and they tell us that one of the dishes had GLUTEN!!
That they had put about 5g of product with gluten. What a jug of cold water. It ruined our dinner and the rest of the night.
We won't be back, of course!

Buenos dĂas,
Antes de todo, volver a pedirles disculpas por lo sucedido.
Nos tomamos muy enserio las alergias y las intolerancias de nuestros comensales. Es por esa razĂłn que le dedicamos toda un apartado en nuestra polĂtica de reservas remarcando que si tienen fuertes alergias u intolerancias es completamente necesario que se pongan en contacto con nosotros antes de realizar su reserva para que podamos asegurarle de que le podremos adaptar el menĂş y tomar las precauciones pertinentes. Nos pusimos en contacto con ustedes cuando vimos la reserva el mismo dia por la mañana y elaboramos toda la producciĂłn de su menĂş des de zero a contrareloj.
Dicho esto, lo que sucedió anoche fue un error humano. Nunca esperamos que pasé, pero ha pasado, y por ello les pido disculpas.
Escogieron el menĂş PHI, formado por un total de 5 snacks, 4 pases salados, 2 postres y unos pequeños dulces. Para adaptarlo, tuvimos que modificar 3 snacks, 2 pases salados, los 2 postres y los pequeños dulces. Tuvimos un fallo de comunicaciĂłn que provocĂł que a su mesa llegará una cantidad Ănfima de una elaboraciĂłn que contenĂa gluten.
Llevamos mucho tiempo adaptando nuestros menĂşs a distintas intolerancias y alergias e incluso creando menĂşs exclusivos para alergias severas y nunca habĂamos cometido ningĂşn error, porque como le digo, nos lo tomamos muy enserio. Y si, la verdad es que entiendo perfectamente que les fastidiara la cena cuando me acerque a contárselo, pero creo que es muy importante reconocer los errores, disculparse y sobre todo ser honesto, y además creo que ustedes merecĂan saberlo, porque en definitiva desconozco hasta que punto punto era grave su intolerancia, teniendo en cuenta que la intolerancia al gluten puede ser mas o menos grave dependiendo de la persona. Lo ultimo que querĂamos era que causarle ningĂşn malestar.
Por ultimo, asegurarles de que hemos tomado las medidas pertinentes y hemos creado nuevos protocolos internos para que no vuelva a suceder en el futuro.
Agradecerles la visita y sentimos las molestias ocasionadas.

The quality of the product and the ingenious preparations with good technique conclude in a sublime gastronomic experience.
They gave us a choice of 3 types of menus and even a la carte, there are many options for everyone.
Note that the staff is super attentive and pleasant.
We haven't left yet and we already want to return.

It is commendable to see such a young team of professionals who are providing high-level signature cuisine in Reus.
Perfect cuisine, service and location.
I want to highlight the dishes and utensils. Top-class Spiegelau glasses to taste a wonderful and well-balanced wine.
They are number 1 very deservedly and we will soon see them with Michelin stars and other awards.
!! Congratulations!!

Excellent tasting menu. Balanced menu, with very well prepared dishes where you notice all the flavor of what you eat and fill the palate. Each dish on the menu is an experience of flavor and texture. And the dishes are well presented, some even fun.
Excellent treatment by the restaurant staff and very attentive.
The modernly decorated place is very pleasant.

Great discovery of a restaurant, very good service and very attentive with everything. Impressive food with very good presentation and great flavor with all its dishes. Almost a Michelin Star if it weren't for some small detail such as we ordered bread and it was out, for my taste there were no tablecloths on the tables and the voice of the walkie-talkies that spoke to the kitchen too loudly. Food price in line with the presentation and flavor, the wine perhaps a little high in price.
A restaurant recommended for diners who want to experience flavors.

Since the last time we were there, a lot of time has passed. When they opened, the food was very good, but the place was a little dull, now it is simple, but successful and the food is better. I found the cutlet rice sublime, although the texture is not what I like the most, the flavor and the meat, a ten. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. We loved everything, a lot of texture and good flavors. Very well chosen wine list, variety and good references although the price is a little high. Service of ten.
Highly recommended.

Very elaborate and spectacular tasting menu although a little sparse. Very well presented dishes, enjoying the elaborations and presentations. Very attentive service and explaining each dish, one stick is the somewhat uncomfortable brick seats. We will return when the menus change to continue enjoying.

- Local without or very low heating. Cold
- Forty-five minutes of waiting, being the second table to arrive
- Good presentation of the dishes
- Spicy food, without asking
- Second course tending cold and the meat unchewable

Hola,
Lamento leer su reseña.
-Tal vez no tenĂamos el local suficientemente caliente para usted ayer. Pero si disponemos de calefacciĂłn. Normalmente a 26Âş en invierno.
- No sabemos muy bien como ha calculado el tiempo de espera que menciona. Pero el hecho es que han llegado puntuales a las 13:30, que era su hora de reserva. Les atendimos nada mas llegar. Tardaron 18 min en escoger los platos de la carta que querĂan tomar. A las 14:08 les servimos el primer snack, seguido por otros dos, y a las 14:16 los entrantes que habĂan pedido. Creo que no es ninguna exageraciĂłn teniendo en cuenta que han pedido platos a la carta, los cuales se elaboran todos al momento y de los que no podemos tener ningĂşn tipo de previsiĂłn.
- Le agradecemos el cumplido en cuanto a la presentaciĂłn.
- Nosotros no tenemos porque preguntar si no le gusta el picante. Es usted el que deberĂa indicarnos sus gustos. De hecho, cuando realizĂł la reserva, no nos indicĂł que no le gustaba y tampoco lo hizo cuando le llamamos por la mañana para confirmarle la reserva y saber si habrĂa algo que tuviĂ©ramos que tener en cuenta. Somos un restaurante con algunos toques asiáticos. Es habitual encontrar algĂşn toque picante en nuestros platos, y además todos los ingredientes que usamos en cada uno de los platos están expuestos en la carta.
- Imagino que habla de nuestra Chuleta. Esa misma es una carne muy especial. Es una Chuleta de Rubia Gallega Madurada 60 dĂas mĂnimo y certificada, de Cárnicas LYO, una de las mejores del paĂs. Siento que no lo haya podido disfrutar.
Por ultimo, me gustarĂa hacer hincapiĂ© en el hecho de que fue usted bastante maleducado cuando realizĂł la reserva y ya esperábamos que viniera con ganas de no disfrutar la experiencia. Aunque nos esforzamos continuamente en conseguir cambiar esa actitud cuando nos la encontramos, lamentamos no haberlo conseguido en esta ocasiĂłn. Solo hay que echar un ojo a su perfil para darse cuenta de que le cuesta disfrutar cuando sale; ha puntuado a la mayorĂa de sitios que ha visitado con 2 estrellas.

We ate here once with the tasting menu and the food was delicious. The dessert was particularly memorable as it was painted out in front of us like work of art, with many different flavours - we thought it might be too gimmicky but the taste was very good and we enjoyed the whole experience immensely. L'Alkimista just started doing takeaway (as restaurants are closed due to coronavirus) and it was the most astonishingly good takeaway ever! We had a prawns kimchi starter which was delicious, followed by a sumptuous rice with duck magret, duck leg and foie - what a feast, what an indulgence! Lemon pie dessert was also amazing. You will not regret getting the takeaway - it turns your own house into the restaurant experience. To die for! (Inquire in advance about payment methods for takeaway - they didn't have a card reader - had to use a bank app)

While travelling in Spain we came across this restaurant in the side streets of Reus. The menu looked great so we decided to walk in. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the kind waiters and were taken to a table ready for us. The hospitality was great and the appearance of the restaurant was heartwarming. The food was delicious with great portion sizes, while also having reasonable prices. Overall, a great experience.
