On a recent visit to Barcelona, I visited Velódromo both for a solo dinner as well as breakfast the following day. I loved the food and found the Velódromo Pastrami sandwich, made in homage to Katz in NYC, both humorous in its weird interpretation of the original, and also completely delicious. They DO have an English menu available but do not expect all of the staff to understand you. Please be kind and have your google translate ready. It's worth it just so you can blend in, lay back, and enjoy this classic neighborhood gem.

Andaluz gazpacho with crotouns was our first course. The flavor was perfectly balanced and not too acidic, like sometimes happens with gazpacho. Enjoyed the undertone of the olive oil and the creaminess of the texture...delightful! Next was the Alice salad (spinach, tomato, pine nuts, parmesan, mustard and honey). This was a surprisingly large salad and oh-so delicious!! For our main course we all chose Valencian paella. When they started clearing a spot on the table for the the pan and placed it before us...well just wow!! It was a site to behold, a thing of beauty and it smelled amazing!! We couldn't wait to dig in and we started before I even thought to take a picture. This was by far some of the best paella we have ever had. The rice was cooked to perfection, flavorful and still had some moisture without being soupy or too wet. The shellfish was plentiful, tender and not over-cooked and same thing with the generous large pieces of chicken. The seasoning was perfect and though we tried, we didn't come close to finishing the enormous portion for three. Honestly, the only course we did finish was the soup as the salad was so large we stopped to save room for the paella. We did see some really nice look desserts heading to other tables but as we couldn't fit another grain of rice into our bellies, we had to pass. The food was wonderful and would definitely bring us back for a return visit in the future. We also enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and that we could eat inside or out on the patio. The waitstaff was attentive and always there fulfilling our needs, all without being intrusive. Overall a wonderful experience. Thank you Living Barcelona 1925

It was our last evening in Barcelona and we were walking on the Ramblas and weren't quite sure…read morewhere to eat. A lady who was recruiting potential diners approached us and persuaded us to come in and check out Living Barcelona. We were incentivized with one free drink per person. They are in the back of a building that is on Ramblas so they don't have as much visibility. It was early for dinner (6 or 18:00) so the restaurant was empty. Our server was a professional. You could tell he knew a thing or two about great service. For starters, we decided on the breaded Artichokes and Fried Whitebait "Chanquetes." Both were very good-not greasy and very light. I love artichokes & never had them fried and we had a few Tapas during our trip and this was the only restaurant that had them. For main, we ordered Tuna, Truffle Pappardelle & Pesto Ravioli. Both pasta dishes were excellent with the Truffle slightly heavier than the Pesto. We had to send the Tuna back as request was for rare and it came out warmer than medium. They quickly made it right. If you want your Tuna rare, make sure you emphasize. (Guess rare means medium in this area?) Overall, a nice atmosphere (amount of guests started to pick up by the time we were finishing) with great outside seating and looks like could be fun as the evening progresses.

Octopus was a little disappointing because it was chewy (maybe overcooked or just because it was sitting out) and the potatoes didn't seem to be cooked all the way.
