This atmosphere was so intimate and I loved that the waiter greeted us warmly. he proceeded to tell us that the cafe was owned by his family and his mom and brother are the chefs. We loved their diverse fixed menu which had amazing flavors. Also the desserts of mousse and crema Catalonia blew us away. If you get the chance to go it is highly recommended. read more

Fantastic and authentic food. The service was great and it was clear that it was a local favorite. It was a friendly environment. read more

After checking out park guell, we wanted to get lunch, I know there are plenty of places to eat around the park, but we wanted to walk away a little bit since we felt as if most of the places around the park were for tourists. this little shop is definitely more of a local joint. The dude working here spoke limited english, and most of the people eating here were local. unfortunately, we came here a bit early and the lunch menu was not an option for us. but we did end up getting two sandwiches that were tasty and quite filling. if you're looking for a cheap, no frill place after your journey at the park guell, i'd recommend checking this place out. read more

This place was great. I can't recommend it enough. I came in the early afternoon, and it was a bit crowded, but we were able to get seated maybe 15 or 20 minutes after we arrived. A lot of the dishes I was interested in were already sold out at that point, so I would definitely recommend arriving earlier. The food was great though. I ordered off the set menu, and wasn't sure what to expect (and also not too sure what I got), but everything tasted delicious. There's more than enough food (vegetable dish, entree, dessert) to fill you up. The service here was excellent. The staff don't really speak English, so be prepared for that, but they asked one of the regulars there who was British to help us translate. Overall, super friendly and I would definitely come back. Also you get amazing quality for a super low price as well (bottle of wine included in the set menu too). read more

Xavi is the man, after our morning walk in Park Güell we worked up an appetite and very few places were serving actual food mostly small tapas or pastries. Not having hearty breakfast has been one of the hardest things things about getting used to Spain. We came in hungry and although the kitchen was limited because of the time of day Xavi whipped us up some great food and drinks. We had the salchichas al vino with rice and fideos a la cazuela which were just what we needed some good old comfort food. The place was sparingly full of locals grabbing a quick drink, bite or coffee on the way to work. Xavi treated us like one of his regulars. Definitely go visit read more

Great local food near Parc Guell. Spanish speaking owner took the time to explain all the dishes to our daughter who translated for us. Delicioso! read more

Great place to eat! If I could I'll give them 6 stars highly recommended. Very cozy, excellent service, good prices too.

So good! Came with a couple friends and we were traveling from the US! I love finding places that are where the locals go!! After scrolling through yelp, lol, this place caught my eye. I think it had 5 stars and the reviews were good! It was located in a place that wasn't very obvious. We definitely had to search! The owner was so nice and sweet to us! You need to try the white bean soup! And the lentil soup! I ordered pork cheeks. They were good. Really cool place! Hey out here and support a delicious local restaurant! read more

Don't go expecting tapas. This is a nice friendly neighborhood spot, but they don't do tapas. Many of the items in the photos weren't there, only the plated meals, I was there at 1pm on a weekday, and they have only the daily menu, which wasn't what I was after. Park Güell adjacent, at the bottom of the hill. Four stars for friendliness, though. read more

We found this hidden gem after walking the Guell Park. We arrived 30 minutes before lunch but the husband and wife owners accommodated us (family of 5) without hesitation. Between our broken Spanish and their English, we managed a delightful meal with them. We felt like we were welcomed in their own home. The servings are big and we had plenty to spare. The food was delicious! Local gem that is worth the stop. Come find them. read more

Bar Casi - About to enjoy a typical Catalan lunch in this hidden gem. - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

The staff were very friendly. The food was amazing. The location is on a side street near Park Güell and very easy to navigate to!

If you want non-touristy, great local food and atmosphere this is the place. Three course lunch with drinks was 15 euros. The food is delicious. But the best part is the owner who is the nicest and friendliest person. We were treated like family members. It was a great experience. read more

This is a no-frill, affordable and quick spot for lunch. I had mussels, meatballs, the free potato and egg cake slice (was served cold-ish), and some pork with fries. This place feels hole-in-the-wall-ish and is pretty small inside. The mussels were steamed and served with lemon. Service was a 3 out of 5. The food came out immediately after we ordered it. That's a pro if you're in a rush but it gave me the sense that the food was all ready and just sitting there in the kitchen, not made-to-order. read more

Oh. My. God. This place is absolutely amazing. It is filled with locals and just a short walk away fro The touristy area of Park Güell. The people working the front of the restaurant (perhaps the owners?) were so genuine and kind and made us feel right at home Totally worth the walk. We were initially skeptical looking at the handwritten English menu but we all made our picks and not one of us was disappointed. €11 for an appetizer, drink, and main course. For appetizers we did the salad rice and the macaroni. The rice salad was rice, vegetables, and tuna and exceptional. Apparently the macaroni changes daily but ours had a red sauce and cheese - It was excellent. We had the cod, hake, and the hot pot chicken. While all were great, the hot pot chicken was by far the best of the three. Hot pot chicken. Get the hot pot chicken! read more

Food - 4 Service - 5 Value - 5 A great value for some local food. Food comes out quickly and its great to see what appears to be a family run place near a tourist attraction like Park Guell. We had the Catalan Stew and Zuchinni Soup -- the stew was hearty and filling and the Zuchini Soup was refreshing and light. The Chicken Hot Pot was so tender and the Veal steak was quite flavorful. I would say this place is more of a 4.5 than it is a 5 to me though. read more

Yes Yes Yes! These people will serve you a meal for 10 euros, everything included. Once you walk in it's obvious that this place is loved by locals. The people that come here mostly know eachother and some of them actually set their own tables and grab wine. We came in with a group of 5 and people started reseating so we could sit together. It was quite the warm welcome. Outside was a sign saying they don't speak English very well, but they do cook good. And not a single word was lied. We had a local dish to start with, since it was recommended most of us had it, it was smoked pepper and eggplant. And it was very tasteful, with oil and herbs on top. Second dish was a meat or fish dish. I had the chicken, and it was perfect! We could choose out of several deserts, but I don't know if they were homemaid. We had coffee, because the first two dishes were more than enough! read more

This is not a fancy restaurant. Are you looking for some Catalan home-cooking? This is the place to be! Although we walked into an almost empty restaurant, it filled up within 30 minutes. Our host and server was so genuine. Right from the start, you knew you were going to be taken care of. Friendly, hospitable, and definitely a kind soul. Their menu of the day consisted of an appetizer, a main, a dessert, a drink, and bread to go with your meal. €10. Five stars for value. We had just come from London so the price difference for food was shocking and yet a welcome respite. I think I could've just ordered an appetizer and be happy. But no, if the locals can do it, I could too! Two of us had: drinks-coke and cava appetizers-macaroni of the day and special soup of the day mains-sausage and stewed fish desserts-baked apple and gelato We were both so full after our meal! No wonder afternoon rests or siestas are necessary for the Spanish to continue with their days!!! I wish this family-run restaurant the best of luck! I hope everyone who visits Park Guell or is in the area to give this place a try! read more

I highly recommend Bar Casi, especially if you are visiting the Parque Guell. It is just a 5 to 10 minute walk down/up a street that leads past the church of St Joseph up to the west side of the park. My favorite place to eat in Barcelona. These people are so welcoming. When we first arrived it was just before they opened for lunch and the cooks were eating with some family. They sat us anyway and gave us a free tapa while we waited (for 10 minutes, no big deal right). They were so apologetic about the wait, and very excited to know if we liked the food. It was delicious by the way. I grew up eating Catalonian cooking in a small village outside Zaragoza, this cooking reminded me of my great aunt's. They raise all their vegetables at their house just outside of town, and the meat is also local and they hand prep it themselves. The owner was so nice and very good with the small children there from the neighborhood. Oh, and the price for a multi course lunch (which was frankly to large for me to eat all of) was extremely inexpensive. Go there! You won't regret it. read more

Just off the path, and not very large but great service and really good food. Reasonable prices and a very local feel

Family-owned authentic restaurant with fantastic friendly service. The food was homemade and excellent. Try the Gazpacho!

This place is great for a good meal at a reasonable price. I found it searching for a bite to eat near Park Guell. The service was excellent. They made this tourist feel like a regular. I had the pork and my wife had the Hake. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The lamb was very well seasoned. I also enjoyed the spinach. This place is worth the trip, especially if you're looking for a good meal at a good price. read more

Went to eat here while waiting for our time at Park Güell. Went on a limb because there wasn't many options for food in the afternoon and it was a great decision. The place itself said "family owned" and the people who worked here are super friendly! The menu is quite small but they had great options at a good price. Definitely one of the better experiences we had here in Barca due to the vibe it gave off. If ever we returned to this area, I'd come back. read more

Fast, friendly service and delicious food. Small bar filled mostly with locals. Worth walking to after Park Guell.

We came here after visiting Park Guell since it seemed like the closest breakfast place open. The place was full of locals which was a good sign. Although the server there didn't speak much English he was very friendly and suggested some delicious breakfast options. We went with the tortilla de patatas, a thick pancake made with potatoes, eggs, cheese, and ham - it was fantastic! I noticed other folks around us had sandwiches which looked tasty as well. Will definitely come again the next time we are in Barcelona! read more

After scouring Yelp for a Lunch place following our excursion at Park Güell we found Bar Casi. What a discovery we made!!! We were in for a treat dining with working locals. And the friendliness of Bar Casi was second to none. Great Deal on a meal too. With major recommendations on all the soups! Cheers read more

What a find! Unbelievable food, and even better ambience. I had the vegetable soup and grilled sausage - delicious. The vibe in this place is fantastic - you've stumbled into a Barcelona neighborhood secret. Finally, the service is second to none. The place was packed, but somehow the only waiter (probably the owner) made us feel like we were the mist important people there. This is a Barcelona must for lunch! read more

We stumbled upon this place during our hike from Park Guell and it was the best find ever!  The food was amazing and their menu changes daily (an appetizer, entrée, and dessert for a set price). The staff was super friendly and gracious, and many of the locals also eat here. I've tried the rabbit stew (highly recommend), squid stew, and fried bacalhau. read more

Our family happened to come across Bar Casi when the restaurant we were going to didn't open until 5PM and it was 1PM. The moment we walked in the establishment we were greeted warmly. Obviously a local clientele, simple ambience but had everything you'll want for lunch. Grandsons were 7 and 9 and had mac & cheese & pizza, (yummy according to them), the rest of us had a green salad, bean soup, beef dishes and I had the chicken dish (a fix menu for $11E). Dessert included. Simple but hardy meal, friendly atmosphere and lots of humor and laughter. We highly recommend Bar Casi and hope that Alexandra & Xau are there to host you. They're the greatest.

Food was soooo good. We waited a little to sit down because there was a lot of people trying to eat here, but not long at all. Then they gave us a a tortilla plate on the house that was delicious to make up for it, not even necessary in my eyes since it did not even feel like that long. Gazpacho was delicious, atun and mero were awesome! would definitely recommend it again. Great service and friendly people. read more

Nice place to grab a meal before or after a visit to parc guell. Seems to be mainly a nice lace for the locals which means good food at a good price and that's what we had. Two course lunch menu for 12 eur. read more

This place was recommended as a good authentic Spanish restaurant, so we went for lunch after 11:30 viewing of the Park Guell. What an awesome restaurant. For 11 euros you get choice of starter and main dish and drink. We had the "egg plant and pepper", "macaroni" starters, "hot pot meat with onions" and "salmon" main dish and really large water bottle. All dishes were great. I highly recommend this place. Great value. Make sure u get there no later than 12:30 since it is packed by 1pm. read more

A great quick lunch. Gazpacho, sandwich and carvesa. Good value, friendly atmosphere.

We visited Parc Guell and were considering lunch in the Parc but it looked very un-inviting , so we looked up nearby restaurants and found Bar Casi on Yelp - what a great find !! The owner was very welcoming and friendly, and although he did not speak much English he made himself understood perfectly. The food and service was excellent, and fairly quick, and the price quite reasonable. We would have liked to have stayed longer, but were pressed for time. I'd highly recommend if you are in the area to visit Bar Casi for a meal. We certainly will next time we visit Barcelona! read more

Excellent, looking for a great local spot this is it. I tried the pork knee (they call it knuckle) and it was outstanding! They are family owned and extremely friendly. We would definitely eat here again. read more
