    Pork Tacos

    Everything was delicious, from ambience, service, to food. Drinks were immaculate, and the food did not disappoint. I recommend coming in here for some Tampas, or just to dine and enjoy the show. Wonderful place.

    This is easily one of the best cocktail bars Barcelona. Highly recommend. The drinks were incredible and the bartenders were engaging and fun to be around. They made our big group of 7 feel so welcome. They make the coolest drinks. The bar has a fun esthetic as well. If you are in Barcelona this is a can't miss! Olivia in particular was fantastic. The best bartender we met here. She was so knowledgeable and engaging.

    Stopped here the first night we arrived and it set our food expectations extraordinarily high. The food here was so good and so much better than anywhere else we ate at during the trip. 5 stars Picanha carpaccio Steak tataki with foie gras (special) False beef tenderloin wellington 4 stars Oysters Shirmp chips Chinese donut Scallops Grilled octopus Tuna Tataki With Foie Gras 3 stars Salmon spheres Foie gras eel Tuna cubes Egg dessert Catalana brulee

    I asked for a fresh and spicy drink and he made this with cucumber, pineapple and jalapeno ( not on the menu)

    One of the best bars I've ever been to in my entire life! The bartender--or should I say the mixologist--really knew his craft. He genuinely enjoyed making different drinks for us, and we enjoyed every single one! The food was lick-the-plate good, and the service was amazing. If I ever go back to Barcelona, this will be the first place I visit!

    Service was very attentive and the ambiance is beautiful. One of the best ceviche I've ever had. The scallops were amazing as well. Everything was delicious and I'll definitely return the next time I visit Barcelona!

    Beautiful restaurant near Casa Batlló. We stumbled upon this looking for a restaurant before an event and were able to walk in though reservations are encouraged. All of the staff were warm and helpful. Noise level was low & ambience was perfect. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious & this was our favorite meal in Barcelona. Gluten free friendly as well!

    LOVED this place! I can't believe it was so great. We got off the plane, checked into our hotel and were hungry. I just wanted something relatively close to our hotel since I was tired and hungry. A quick yelp search led me to Babula - yes, there's only 3 reviews, but yelp isn't really great for Europe. But it was open and a lot of places were not open on a Monday. We walked in and were told that we could sit at the bar since we didn't have a reservation. The bar was dimly lit and I wish there was more light around the area, but it was still cool. We also got to watch them make a bunch of pretty cool drinks so it was entertaining. Food was excellent - probably my favorite restaurant in Barcelona. The staff were all super kind and warm, and they were english friendly (we do speak some Spanish). We left pretty full and happy!

    This place is a gem! We got here and went straight to the bar and had exceptional service all night long. We had several drinks here and each one was amazing! I had the porn star, aviation and espresso martini and my husband had the Paloma, Dr. pepper and the old but new. These drinks are carefully crafted to perfection and put together by talented bartenders. The staff was so friendly and the ambiance is stunning in this place! I'd definitely check it out!

    Excellent tapas. Actually Russian owned. All were very good but the foie put it over the top.

    Amazing service and amazing food! Cozy boutique vibes and really nice decor. All around great experience! We went there twice on vacation!

    Beef tataki with foie gras. Amazing.

    We found Babula on a YouTube search before leaving California. This authentic tapas restaurant is named the endearing name of the owner's grandmother. The tapas and cocktails are so great and the staff are friendly. We loved this cozy spot.

    The most beautiful tapas ever! Very grateful to have found this small gem of a restaurant. Loved the vibe!

    Fun place to take a break…read more Enjoy the scenery and breathe before you continue enjoying all the rest that Barcelona has to offer. This rooftop bar is in the hotel Victor, which also houses a phenomenal restaurant called Mr Porter. I have to say, it's kind of the trifecta. The hotel is nice. Mr Porter's is exquisite! Now back to the Rooftop it's also special and it is unique. The drinks are great. There's a wide selection including specialty drinks. They pour a good stiff drink. No short pours here. The bar has great views, and you can see a Gaudi building right across the street. You can also see Sagrada Família from there. Highly recommended as a short stop and refresher while you're in Barcelona. Enjoy

    Our first night in Barcelona we googled rooftop restaurant and found this jewel. Fabulous location…read morein this bustling city. Amazing server, raised in Mexico and worked for Disney in the USA, fabulously hospitable. We wanted a chill place to enjoy a very light dinner, and The Rooftop was perfect. We had non alcoholic ginger beer (Fever Tree label) and hot tea, hummus with beautiful baby carrots, olives, and a salad of diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and a pinch of fresh mint. When it started to rain the servers quickly belied us move to a table under the canopy. Space heaters were nice. We could see one of the Gaudi buildings from our lovely rooftop venue. After dinner we went to the bottom floor, which was full of folks enjoying themselves, playing pool, visiting. Great place.

    Really enjoyed this bar and we can see why it's been named in the top 50 bars…read more The bartender was really engaging with the people which we enjoyed. The drinks were 8/10 The ambiance was generic but we had a good time. Definitely recommend trying it.

    Wow did we want to give this place 5 stars…read more The bartenders were great and welcoming and the decor was very cool. It is a pleasant place to be physically. All of the cocktails we tried were excellent (we had two more not featured on photos here). We went Sunday 4/19 around open (5pm ish until 7:30 ish). However, our experience was sort of ruined when a female employee came over and chided my wife and two other American patrons we were talking to for being too loud. They weren't being particularly loud and at this point we were the only four people sitting at the bar itself. She was not a bartender (at that time at least) and she completely ruined our vibe with this complaint. She had been eyeing one of the other American patrons we had been talking to before she came over and confronted my wife after she laughed. The bar tenders didn't seem to be aware this happened and when we were closing out they remarked they didn't think we had been loud and that they like their guests to have fun. This female employee apparently didn't get the memo! We sense that perhaps she just dislikes Americans, which would be rich for working at an establishment like this! She also had no issues when a dog other guests brought in barked loudly multiple times, each time silencing the entire bar because the barks were so booming. The other American couple felt the same way -- the stern talking to just ruined the experience for all four of us. So... great spot but our experience was unnecessarily tarnished by a jerk employee!!!
