Although my host mom called ahead for window seating once we arrived it wasn't guaranteed and we had to sit by the mirror:( Nonetheless the food was pretty good and the ambiance of the neighborhood was breathtaking. Come here if you want beautiful birthday pics. Later that night they were able to sit us outside on the terrace and the view was breathtaking. You can see Sagrada Familia , Barceloneta, and Montjuic. I would love to visit again, enjoy seating by the window by arriving early, and try other dishes as I was not completely impressed by my salmon .

It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

Our waiter was very friendly and explained the menu and some of their signature items. We had champagne to start and then a wonderful Tempranillo wine from their great wine list.

We will definitely dine here again when we return to Barcelona.

We also ordered the Iberian ham Croquettes which were mostly cheese and very little of the ham, couldn't taste it. Maybe other meats are good at this restaurant, but beef is not what they know how to correctly cook. I also ordered a catalan granacha which I was hoping to be full bodied, but is was rather watery. The peppers were very good and the white aperagus was also good. The staff was very helpful, but the manager was condescending when I pointed out the catalan granacha was not full bodied. The roof is tiled and the floor is also tiled so makes for a very noisy restaurant. The structure is a beautiful house just noisy.

The two bartenders -- who seem to be a couple -- are the heart of the place. He's got a dry, hilarious sense of humor that sets the tone, and together they make everyone feel like a regular. That said, if you're easily offended or don't appreciate a bit of cheeky banter, this might not be your spot. But for those who enjoy a fun, unfiltered vibe -- you'll love it here. As for the food -- wow. We had the tortilla with meat (not sure what it was, but it was delicious), the artichoke tempura (I would fly across the world again just for these), the fried eggplant, and the meat with chimichurri. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Great food, unforgettable personalities, and a place that feels alive. Take a handheld fan because it is hot - especially during summer.
