Went for my birthday dinner in Barcelona. Such a beautiful place! Ended up sitting at the bar but the bartender was very attentive to our needs. I ordered teriyaki salmon which was delicious and my beau ordered sushi. Everything was great but the portions are small. As mentioned already, check out the beautiful bathrooms (selfie central). Enjoy the ambience! read more

Boca Grande - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Amazing atmosphere! Food was fantastic! Bar upstairs perfect! Staff was extremely friendly! Fun times!

Everything about this restaurant is fabulous. The food is 5 star, the ambience is wonderful, and the service is superb. Even the bathrooms are incredible. We made a reservation for 4 people on a Wednesday night at 8pm-the restaurant was empty when we got there but it was packed around 9pm so you definitely need a reservation. We didn't get a chance to check out the cocktail bar but I hear it's definitely a must. My favorite dishes were the mussels and beef tartare. The chocolate, mango, coconut egg dessert is also the best dessert i've ever had! This place will not disappoint. read more

I did not love Boca Grande. I thought it was pretty boring, food and decor-wise. Everything felt like it was chic in 2005. It reminded me of Soho in the mid 2000s. We went as a couple, but Boca Grande is probably better for groups. The appetizers were very expensive and HUGE. I was a bit upset that the server let me order a buratta salad that was surely meant for 4 people. I assumed that it was a very special buratta, but it was average at best. The paella was also massive, too big for one person. Service was slow. Boca Grande was filled with ex-pats and seemed to be a place that rich kids went with their foreign parents when they're in town. Not very authentic and too trendy for its own good. read more

Four of us secured same day reservation through our hotel. We checked in and were escorted to the bar upstairs. The atmosphere was classic, with spacious interior and perfect noise level. We were given immediate service by the bartender, and the drinks were generous and well made. We were called to our table just after ten minutes in the bar, which surprised me as there was a pretty good sized crowd. Three of us had seafood, and one with pasta. The wait staff were very helpful, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Yes, pricing is above the customary, but I thought it was worth the experience. read more

Our experience at the restaurant Boca Grande Reservation on the 15.05.2022 at 20.30 I have never written a negative comment, but last night was disappointing, and I insist on taking measures towards the hostesses and manager, who were working yesterday night, 15.05.2022 from 20 o'clock. For over ten years, Boca Grande was my favorite restaurant in Barcelona! I've been there more than 60 times, I brought so many business partners and friends there, and it always had excellent service and fantastic food. I knew all waiters and managers, they knew me, and that is why I was so shocked to be treated this way! This restaurant has been my favorite for all these years. Even though the restaurant changed the menu after the pandemic, the food remained just as delicious. So, when friends or business partners come to visit me in Barcelona, I always invite them to this place without any hesitation. But yesterday, my loyalty was completely destroyed. I hope the owner will see this comment and that it is still important for him to know the opinion of their guests. He must know who works in the restaurant that he puts all his effort and soul in. We made a reservation five days in advance, and as we had been there many times before, we kindly asked for a particular table for our business dinner for six people. We were told that the reservation could not be done for a specific table, but they will try to arrange it. Unfortunately, we did not only get the table we asked for, but we got the worst table in the restaurant. The hostess said it to us directly: "It was me who gave this table, I know it is not a good one, but you will sit there because I do not have any table for you"... Another hostess did not talk to us at all and left us with no answer. We asked to move to another table that was available but were rejected. The manager said he had no time to talk to us. But when he realized we would not go anywhere and keep waiting for him, he came and said that this table was not for us. So for some people, they do reserve a table?! It was an important business dinner, and until one of our business partners (a Spanish speaker) talked to the manager, we were ignored or treated rudely. After all, they changed the table for us. The service was good, but how the manager and hostess made us feel was really bad and disrespectful! I would gladly discuss all details via email a.muehler.22@gmail.com read more

Tasty food, great cocktails bar on the second floor, interesting experience with disco at toilet

Nice food, nice attendance... Nice toilet. Everything was wonderfull until a huge black cockroach fell into my arm from the ceilling while I was in the bathroom... Horrible! Comida muy buena, servicio muy bueno.... Los baños una chulada, todo iba bien hasta que una cucaracha gigante cayo en mi brazo mientras estaba en el baño... Horrible! read more

place is very good. Service elite. Chesse elite. Drinks elite. they had a special king crab is it was very good. The service was very good the waiters made sure to explain the food to us and show us the food. Compared to the other places i've ate at in barcelona this place had been the best. though it is a little pricy it is worth. I highly recommend. read more

I heard great things about this restaurant. While in Barcelona I decided to try it. Reservations were easy. Since I was one person originally I was sat at the bar. J requested to change simply because I tend to order a lot of food and need room. Moved upstairs. The cocktails were great. I started with ham croquettes which were very yummy. Also a tomato salad which was great too. Then tried the salmon which was delightful. And when I got to the lobster paella, I was disappointed. The rice was over cooked and burnt. And honestly lacked the flavor of most paellas. All in all the food was okay. The service was good. My server was very nice and friendly and even sent me a few glasses of champagne. The ambiance is nice. It is dark and upstairs they do play music. As someone in my mid 30s, dark restaurants with loud music aren't my thing anymore. But this wasn't so bad. Would I return, I'm sure. read more

Great place, great vibe, great drinks! We were doing bottle service, so this was a more-than-excellent experience. Servers were polite and attentive, lots of beautiful people, great wine selection. The bathroom is a must go ;) The most famous bathroom in Barcelona perhaps? read more

Nice restaurant, but they put us in a corner and it was extremely hot. They kept bringing us water bottles that were not new yet they charged us. Their bathroom is the best entertainment of this location. The food was ok. Nothing big. read more

We were rcommended this place by our hotel staff. We were not disappointed. We arrived Monday night at 8:00 and it was empty. We were told they could seat us but we had to be out by 10:00. Not a problem. We ordered the Catalan Tomato bread, which was awesome. Well worth the extra €0.50. Then we had chicken croquettes, another excellent selection . Finally we shared the risotto and seafood chowder. We didnt care for the chowder but the Risotto was delicious if a little oily. The Sangria was dynamite! Service was so-so and we waited about 25 minutes for our bill, but not the end of he world. Special bonus for having menus in English, Catalan & Spanish. read more

After visiting Barcelona a few times the last months We were looking for a new spot to enjoy some good food and more important the atmosphere... We booked a table at Boca Grande as we were told that's the place to go... When arriving we standing in a line waiting to be attended, and while asking if we had a reservation and picking up the phone we ended up getting a really bad located table - after talking to the her once again, and trying to explain that we didn't what that table, we were moved to a corner - far away from any atmosphere. Food - the quality is really good, but be prepared to pay big time if you say yes to "today's fresh fish" without a price on!! 4 Prawns = 31 euro (nothing else served) Service wasn't great and it seemed like they most of all just wanted you out so overall really sad experience... Wouldn't suggest my business associates or friend to go there. read more

sexy interior. Must check out the bar upstairs and the bathrooms in the basement. Beautiful design. Drinks were pricey but worth the atmosphere. The host was very nice and accommodating. bottom line - in Barcelona, check it out. read more

Absolutely amazing food. Awesome selection of wine. Very busy, but service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Bustling, classy and very Spanish. read more

Bar upstairs is very cool! Sexy atmosphere, great cocktails and friendly service. The atmosphere and vibe in the restaurant was as cool as the upstairs Lounge. However the Food and service at the restaurant did not live up to the hype and was severely overpriced for the portion size and quality of the servings and the service. read more

Big disappointment. We told the waitress my wife could not have tomato. She ordered the Old Lettuces salad, and it was full of tomatoes (no mention of the tomatoes on the menu). I ordered the Ox steak. The accompanying sauce was not served until after I had finished the steak. My wife ordered Soupy Rice with Big Prawns and Clams. Well, the rice was soupy, but there were chunks of seafood (not mentioned), one clam, one prawn body with no meat in it, one shrimp (not mentioned), and mussels (not mentioned in the menu). And one of the mussels had not opened which could have contaminated the dish. When we brought this to the waitress's attention, she denied there was a problem, and that we would have to pay for an extra prawn -- the one she should have received -- if she wanted it. The waitress never showed herself again even though we asked to see her two more times. read more

Just another example of excellent tapas in Barcelona. Oysters, ceviche & a potatoe purée with pork and octopus leaving filled fulfilled. Note: On the expensive side. read more

This restaurant is a little pricey though the quality of food was great! Our server was a little slow to tend to our tables; she seemed to be the only one tending to our section, a section of approximately 5 tables. My wife had a Paella dish with seafood which had lobster (small), shrimp and some type of squid. I had the catch of the day, Turbot fish, which was served with a side steamed vegetables. The ambiance is fit for a romantic style dinner and the entry you'll notice an ice tank with the catch of the day fish on display ready to be ordered. For the price and interest in seafood while in Barca, I would almost recommend exploring restaurants near the beach. For convenient quality sea food in the city, this place will do the trick. They serve other authentic Spanish cuisines as well. The bathrooms (water closets in Europe) are uniquely arranged in decor and set up. The sink/wash area is common with a center type sink. The decor includes art/pictures of topless women and some shirtless men. The staff was professional so don't let this discourage your visit but rather keep it in mind as you escort your kids to the water closet. read more

The best cocktail bar I have ever been to. No question. Fun kitschy drinks (think dry ice served in tea pots) that I have never seen anywhere else and that are actually really strong and tasty! Super packed, meat market. read more

The food and drinks were great, the atmosphere was amazing, and the bathroom was a surprising treat. The staff were ok, not the friendliest. One of the waiters named Alesh or Alex "originally from Switzerland" was flirting with my friend and I. At the end of our meal he followed us to the co-ed bathroom and walked up to me and just grabbed me and kissed me. Then he kissed my friend when she came out of the bathroom stall. We have never felt so violated and we felt so disgusted by him. Sadly, a beautiful evening was ruined. This would never be allowed in a restaurant in America. read more

Great food and ambiance but the service is rude and unprofessional or they would get 5 stars!!! read more

Boca Grande - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Had better service at a Chick-Fil-A but the food is ridiculous. I am a bit of a burrata freak and this made my Top5. I avoid vegetables when possible and even I would give 5 stars to some of the vegetables! The scallops melt, and the ham croquettes are the best I've ever had. The bathroom has a DJ.....not a good one but if you don't mind drunk girls flirting with a second rate DJ when you come out of the bathroom, then you should check it out. Interesting. read more

White glove service, amazing seafood and excellent wine. Cool vibe and the bathroom is ridiculous.

There aren't many restaurants that will blow you away, with food, service and atmosphere but this is one of those places. Food is amazing. Service was amazing. The bathroom is super cool, you gotta check it out. Rooftop smokers lounge is killer. read more

this place was excellent although pricey! EUR365 for 4 people!

First - I am NOT a one time customer and travel to Barcelona for work quite often. Having been here a few times and finally having my family meet me in Barcelona while being here for work during the week; what a pathetic disappointment. I love the meat station, the bar, the bathrooms but the food and the service were utterly disappointing today. Our waiter presented crab for "3 persons" which was totally different than what arrived - arguably it was an issue. My paella arrived COLD and I must "guess" because it obviously is an issue that we inquired about weight and price of what was presented. Want to feel insignificant but have a great atmosphere - come here! I tried to pull the manager aside and explain my concern - he smiled but was uninterested --- to him, I am a tourist not a regular. read more

The food is great, but they clearly have staff problems. We arrived 5 minutes early and were told by the hostess to wait outside. As soon as we got outside a couple in a Porsche SUV were let in. We waited until 10 after and when we came in the same hostess asked who the reservation was for. I told her "The people you told to stand outside 15 minutes ago.". Having traveled extensively in Europe, I don't believe that was a difference in service culture. She was either rude or incompetent and it left a bad taste in my mouth that almost spoiled the excellent meal. read more

Perfect dinner, amazing food. Lagar de Merens white wine was delicious. The much glamorized restrooms were a big disappointment - where was my Men's Room? Had to endure 3 ladies peeking into my stall. Sometimes being too original leads to disappointing results. Other than that - everything was well worth the price. Would recommend for a special occasion, farewell dinner or for a casual romantic dinner. read more

We walk in without reading any of the reviews and I am glad we did. Service was great, Ana took great care of us, very attentive and helpful. Food was great and the desserts were delicious. A little bit on the expensive side but it was well worth it read more

Well on the pricey side, frequented by a mix of people but noticeable by the bold and the beautiful... Staff is of a very high calibre, attentive, quick react, efficient and friendly with a twinkle in the eye. Had a quick dinner on the counter, opposite an interesting display of iced fish and live crabs in their death-throes... Ink tagliatelle and cod were very creamy/greasy but also on par with the price. read more

I had heard great things about this place from friends and family who have visited Barcelona, and I was so excited to try it out. I was so unbelievably disappointed with the service we received. The woman was simply rude and did not make us feel welcome or comfortable. I felt like I was being rude by asking for something. I have never received such terrible service, and I am very understanding that being a server is a difficult job, but I'm so frustrated that this is my last meal in Barcelona. My friend ordered a burger and when it came out he asked for ketchup. The lady took 10-15 minutes to bring it out, which by that time his food was cold. We said we no longer wanted the ketchup and she picked up the little container and took it to another table. I'm unbelievably disappointed and do not recommend this place at all. Food was mediocre-- I think the best thing I had was the plain bread and water. read more

The bar upstairs is the bomb. Gotta check out the bathrooms... yes, the bathrooms!!! Super cool the Decore!!

Gorgeous restaurant with delicious food and an incredibly fun/talented front of the house team. I come here every time I'm in Barcelona and recommend it to anyone who has a chance to visit this beautiful city. read more

The upstairs bar is one of the coolest bars I've been to in the world. Couches, wooden, bar, hip people. I highly recommend it.

Average average average. Food was okay but service not great. Waiter disappeared for long stretches. Once the bill arrived it took 15 mins to find the one guy with the credit card machine overpriced for the quality, there are better places in BCN for half the price. read more

We had a fantastic time. We arrived early while they were serving a limited menu before 8pm. We started with the tuna tartare and shrimp appetizers. Then ordered the seafood paella. Everything tasted good. Birthday cake dessert came with a special candle. read more

The food was average. The atmosphere was great. Do not sit in the back of the restaurant as you will get all the heat from the ovens and poor ventilation. read more
