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!

For an early dinner by Spanish time, we started with the croquettes. Crip and wonderful. Then the tenderloin which was taste as well, though we should have a sales what is on the top. It seemed like mostly a flavored fat. The tomato with toast was lovely. Soaked with natural tomato juice. The skewered prawns were the best. Get them. And we ended with coconut pudding. It was like a flan with a coconut base. All together fun and delicious!

This review is for the second branch of the classic and well known Casa Fuster. They have recently…read moreopened a new restaurant in downtown Sabadell and the food is truly spectacular. I decided to invite my brother for a 'menu of day' in a recent visit to my birth town and was thinking the classic 10-12 euros menu. This place is pricier for the menu of the day, that normally consist in appetizer, main course, desert, wine and water (plus in most cases bread with tomato). However, for 20 euros per person we had a total feast, plus it was a Thursday so we paid a little bit more and got the seafood paella (Thursdays is usually paella day for them and at other restaurants as well). Simply amazing the amount of food and the quality of all we got. Happy me I got a to-go box (even if I had to deal with the embarrassment of my brother, not used to take leftovers home, as it is still not well considered in Spain). Everything we ate was excellent, including an awesome red wine. The atmosphere is super chic, you feel like you are more in an Art Deco set of a movie than in a Mediterranean-Catalan style restaurant. Service was super attentive, fast, all dishes were hot, delicious, abundant and, definitively, to remember.

Voy a la barra de Sant Cugat cada verano desde 2018 y siempre recibí un trato si bien no…read moresobresaliente al menos fue siempre correcto y respetuoso. Este verano hay una chica terriblemente grosera que parece ser encargada o recepcionista y que se alterna con un chico latinoamericano que lleva años y que es bastante cordial. La primera vez la chica fue agresiva para explicarme que si venía solo y sin reserva mis opciones eran la barra o una mesa en la ventana con el sol a tope. Aunque no me gustaron sus formas, agradecí y preferí irme Hoy decidí ir únicamente a tomar una ginebra a las 4 de la tarde, le pregunté si todavía era posible, me dijo que si y después la misma dinámica, Barra o Mesa asoleada... Debido al horario habían muchas mesas vacías y le pregunté si podía ocupar alguna de ellas y ahí es donde mi insolencia y atrevimiento de pedir algo fuera de su "guión" despertó su ira. De pésima gana me dijo que esperara por que tenía que limpiarla y cuando ofrecí sentarme en una limpia para no molestarla se abalanzó sobre la mesa en cuestión a limpiarla ente resoplos y palabras inaudibles que supongo no serían demasiado cariñosas. Le dije de la manera más amable posible que con esas formas y de mala gana prefería mejor irme Y así lo hice. No pretendo afectar a este negocio ya que como dije, su servicio siempre había sido correcto pero si es hacer conscientes a los dueños/socios/responsables de "La barra de Sant Cugat" sobre este hecho que al menos a mi me obliga a no volver. Suerte

The outdoor seating is on a nice open area in front of the restaurant.

We wanted to go back to Capet for dinner on our last night in Barcelona, but sadly, they are closed on Mondays. We sat on the upper level overlooking the downstairs dining area. Our server was friendly and understanding about the fact that we don't speak Spanish. The food was amazing. Here's what we had: -- Chicken croquette with kimchi (the best version of croquette we had in Spain; would have been happy just ordering more and noshing on these for dinner...so good!) -- Catalan tomato bread (the best version we had in Spain) -- Scallops with potato salad a yellow pepper sauce and coriander gelatin -- Grilled hake with cream of ortiguilla, leek and pine nuts -- Angus beef with red wine sauce, tender garlic, radish and Kale cabbage Two thumbs-up for Capet. If we ever find ourselves in Barcelona again, we will definitely be eating here!

At least on Yelp, my review is the first one for La Yaya Amelia in about 3 years. TripAdvisor has…read moreonly one since July 2020. Somewhere in the middle is a 1-2 year period where parts of Spain's community was shut down because of COVID or restricted in one way or the other. We were in Spain during May-June of this year and witnessed various businesses that were no more or maybe still hanging on my a thread. Our recent experience at La Yaya Amelia seemed to suggest the latter. La Yaya Amelia was recommended by our Hotel (1882) and was an easy couple block walk. We made a reservation, but as it turned out we were the only customers during our time there. This seems more like a locals place and it's corner neighborhood location would be hard to attract tourists, unless it were some hot foodie destination. On a side note, the owner's cute little dog charmed my wife, the shelter volunteer. At the beginning, the dog was wandering around and Gayle wasn't sure if he/she had a person. I looked up and told her that we can't the dog back with us to the USA. Her answer (and this wasn't her first dog siting in Spain) was that she'd already done the research and she agreed that it would be almost impossible to do so. But she still stayed on the case until she confirmed that it was indeed the owner's dog. La Yaya Amelia may not be the Catalan version of the French Laundry, but it was a damn fine place to eat. We both ordered off the "specials" list, me choosing steak and Gayle opting for fish. Add wine, bread, homemade dessert, and expresso, we left full and happy. Our service was great, yet the guy running the place seemed a little worn out and sad, as we were the business so far in the evening. So, if anyone is reading this review right now and you're thinking of Lunch or Dinner in the Sagrada Familia area, what are you waiting for?
