I came here based on my cousin's recommendation of their menu del dia (deal of the day). To be…read morehonest I wasn't impressed by what I saw when I first looked inside. People were eating pale bland looking baked chicken and french fries (which are part of the del dia menu). Luckily there are other good but limited options within the menu. The menu del dia to me is like a multiple choice question with one and only one right answer. Choice A, bland looking iceberg lettuce salad. Choice B, macaroni. Choice C, lentil stew with chorizo. The correct choice to me was obvious. I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but this was a delicious and satisfying (large) plate of food, enough for a main course. The second course was a choice of baked chicken with fries, grilled fish (hake), and a 3rd item (can't remember). I got the grilled hake, which was a fresh but somewhat bland, meaty piece of fish with potatoes. For the 3rd course, there were several choices but flan seemed to be the best choice, and I wasn't dissappointed with this choice. Amazingly, all this included a small carafe (more than a standard glass) of very good wine all for around 10E!

We were not disappointed, the menu features tapas elevated to a whole new level. The potatoes with a poached egg and bits of foie are not be missed. The staff is friendly and informative. The space is really well designed in a modern understated way. If you find yourself near Poble Sec, make Palo Cortao one your stops. Ps/ forgot to mention the flan. It was a good as mine and I make a killer flan.

This has got to be the worst service I have received in a long long time. Stopped by this little…read morecute resto - super non-tourist attraction with many options - why not right? The service was immediately horrible, even when ordering - not a single word spoken to us or even really acknowledging our existence. The food came out really fast and honestly, it was pretty good. The sangria was well priced and was definitely something I'd order again by the jug! The tapas came out in large portions. I had the calamari and it was super delicious and crispy! Two of our group ordered the burgers and they looked...less than average. The bun was huge and the burger was small - when we asked for hot sauce, the waitress rolled her eyes and came back with a mayo. Then later, I asked for water and even asking in Spanish did not make a difference - she was 100% done with us before we had even walked in. She came back with four bottles of water when I had originally asked for 4 glasses - this made her MAD (lol) and she put down one bottle of water, stormed back and put it away then started talking trash about us to the bartender (very obviously just because she was waving her hands, pointing and then made the 'crazy' finger spin beside her head gesture) - this is so ridiculous because it's not like we sent back cooked food? We sent back bottles of water that we have not even touched? All you had to do is pop it back into the fridge? The resto was completely empty by the way...so not sure what the rush to get back to doing nothing was. Anyway - would not recommend at all! A attitude problem will always drive away customers faster than bad food.

I came here on my first night in Barcelona and it was the closest to my AirBnB rental. I'm writing…read morethis after 6 nights in Barcelona and lots of restaurant visits after. So, compared to other places, this one is just ok. Nothing fantastic to note. Service was prompt and we got our food pretty quickly and that might be because we dined rather early at 6 pm. We ordered garlic shrimp, tripe stew, octopus, and grilled shrimp tapas. Grilled shrimps were so flavorful with smoky flavor that we ordered a second one. Sangria was very weak and not great after we tried other awesome sangrias such as those from Cera 23 and Eden. Overall, if you're hungry and don't want to walk too far, then this place will do.

Calamari was perfectly crispy in a light batter, and the chicken had the perfect breading to meat ratio, and served with a smoky sweet creamy bacon sauce... with moritz on draft(and lemonade thrown in) this could become my go to joint...if I lived in the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona! Ambiance is shotgun el clubo, prices are in line with expectation, and staff was English speaking and friendly! If I come back, I'll surely come back here! This is the first joint in Spain to be added to the list!

First meal of our trip was at Morro Fi. They make their own vermut…read more We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon (3:30pm). The place has 9-10 seats inside along with two tables on the sidewalk. The main worker spoke English and let us know what food was available to order. Music was fun and funky. They sell homemade vermut, cava brut nature, chips, olives, piparres and salsa vermella. Should have bought their olives (2,70 € for 150g) to go! - Vermut (2,60 €) - smooth with the slightest medicinal note. Really liked it. Came with a delicious olive. - Vermut reserva (3,80 €) - more depth and flavour compared to the regular vermut. Try both to see the difference. - Carxofa (2,40 €) - artichokes with sundries tomatoes and black olives. Decent. - 2x Pintxo seito (2,00 € each) - anchovies with olives. Fantastic. - 1/2 Calamar/ventresca (3,90 €) - squid with olives and piparres. Was surprised this was only a half portion. Squid had a firm, pleasant texture. - Patates gruixudes (2,90 €) - homemade chips. They added some of their salsa vermella, which soggied up the chips. Would ask for it without. - Cured tuna (7,80 €) - came with almonds. Never have tried tuna this way. Interesting texture. This portion was more than enough. Our favourite meal in Barcelona.

We had one of each kind of the croquettes with my personal favorite being the goat cheese.

I had to talk my wife into the Picasso eggs and they ended up being her favorite thing (mine too).

Favorite dishes were the eggplant parm, the paella, and the Moroccan sausage with couscous. Also tried the cod and the market fish, both which were lightly fried, and tasted standard, decent but not special. The desserts were strange and fine for a sweet tooth. Probably should've stuck with fruits, which you cannot get mixed. If you choose the peach, it will come whole and you eat it as you please.

By the time we left at 2:30 there was a line waiting to sit. They offer menus in both Catalan and English, written on paper since it appears to change daily. You order a starter, a main dish, and a dessert for €11.50 though some items may cost extra. My husband and I both had the paella to start and it was by far the best paella of our trip. So flavorful! My husband had the pork ribs with apple sauce and liked it but the all-star dish was their cod with tomato sauce (an extra €3 but totally worth it). We each ordered ice cream for dessert as we were stuffed and it was just a little pre-packaged container- nothing fancy but appreciated. The staff was very understanding of two tourists looking for a quiet place to grab some warm food. The environment is intimate but welcoming. It felt full of locals on break from work rather than a tourist trap like many spots you might see a few streets away.
