The experience begins the moment you step in. A warm greeting and a delicious aperitif. Our server was personable and genuinely interested in providing an exceptional experience. Our server recommended the surprise dining. We had 6 or 7 courses, all Chef's choice. What a fun way to share a meal together.
So they were a little rude to me and my friends when we walked in, maybe they thought we were too poor to afford it? I personally didn't think we looked like a trashy group, but we decided to eat here anyway. We went with he waitress's recommendation of the 10-course chef's special and we did not regret it. The courses were delicious, interesting, and well presented. The razor clams, mussels and jamón iberico were my personal favorites. Had a bottle of cava to go with it, and some of the house vermouth. We also got dessert, and the cheesecake was beyond incredible. The chocolate torte with orange sorbet was good, but not as incredible as the cheesecake. The decor is for foodies. Pictures of the chefs at different stages in their lives and careers. I loved the "love of food" atmosphere. Ex post facto, I was told this restaurant was owned by the same owner of Tickets. Tickets is a restaurant I was familiar with as an Anthony Bourdain visited establishment, that requires reservations most nights (unlike Bodega 1900).
I came here for lunch and had one of the best meals of my life! Our group opted for the chef's tasting menu and dined for over two hours, eating some of the best food and enjoying their house vermouth. Everything was absolutely amazing. Make sure to make reservations here when in Barcelona! You won't regret it.
Gonna mention what countless others mention at the start of their review. Could not get reservations at Tickets for 2 different dates. So we snagged a reservation at Bodega 1900. I'm sure Tickets is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but our dinner at Bodega was pretty fantastic in its own right. We were a little late to our seating, thanks to the Taxi driver who dropped us way off the mark. But thank goodness they honored our time slot. Service was welcoming from the moment we walked in, sat down and got down to dinner. We opted for the tapas surprise menu--about 12 courses or so. I definitely had my favorites, but there really wasn't a bad one in the bunch. All very fresh and well made. I really enjoyed our meal. The bursting "Olive", sardines, razor clams, pan con tomate, jamon, potato omelet, crab, squid sandwich, the most amazing goat cheese, grilled squid, grilled tenderloin and shishito peppers, cheesecake and lemon cake. It was paced well and I felt pretty full afterward. The suggested wine was spot on. I really liked the house vermouth, which surprised me because I'm more a vodka kind of gal. Homey and fun atmosphere. It was a full house and as soon as a table emptied, another party sat. I was seated with a view into the kitchen which gave me a peek into all the action. Our server was so sweet, I can't remember her name, but it was fun interacting with her.
So, to confess, I first booked this place as a back up since I wasn't able to get into Tickets. Then I was able to get the Tickets reservations and we decided to keep the reservations at Bodgea 1900 as well. In hindsight, I should have just cancelled this restaurant reservation since we came the day after we had dinner at Tickets. In my opinion, the experience was much better at Tickets and Bodega 1900 is a sister restaurant but the atmosphere and experience was just not the same. Since we were a party of 6, we had the tasting menu again and some of the items that we had at Tickets were also presented at Bodega - the deconstructed olive was one and the monkfish. We had Antonio as our server and he was very attentive.
After hearing so much about Tickets from Phill Rosenthal and Anthony Bourdain, I was lucky to snag a table for four at Ticket's sister restaurant, Bodega 1900 at their 1pm opening time slot. The place filled up quickly. It is a true tapas experience brought up many notches. Our waiter explained the menu and hence began our culinary adventure. The famous olive- you can't have just one- surreal Ham croquettes Boquerrone Sardines Mollettes of cheese and black truffle Baby squid Fresh tomato salad Dessert A Mille Fleur type pastry with Calvados-fabulous and they only allow one order per 2 people This is definitely a must visit, and if you can go again and again, you are truly blessed.
I booked Bodega 1900 for my husband's birthday exactly two months out. We arrived to Barcelona on the same day of the reservation, and we were exhausted after a long day of travel drama. So the fact that Bodega 1900 ended up being one of the best meals of our lives more than made up for our crazy day. I didn't feel confident enough that I would enjoy a tasting menu, so we opted to choose our own plates. We ordered: the olives, patatas bravas (a special), small grilled clams (coquinas), roasted red peppers with tuna, tomato salad, housemade feta, Iberican ham, cured beef tenderloin, and pickled quail thighs. On paper, none of these dishes really jump out but, in person, each and every one was so special. The small grilled clams were unlike anything I had tried before - they were the most tender little clams served in their shells and tossed in a slightly spicy butter. I was a bit dubious about my husband's choice of pickled quail thighs, but they were absolutely incredible. They were served in a hearty broth with veggies, and the taste was simply out of this world. We enjoyed our meal with a bottle of rosé, but the restaurant is known for their vermouth as well. We finished the meal with an inventive lemon cake and delicious flan. When I think about this meal and describe it to my friends and family, I get dreamy eyed. I look forward to returning one day when I visit Spain again!
We were so excited about Bodega 1900. We were deciding between a list of restaurants in Barcelona and Bodega 1900 with its stellar reviews and beautiful foods stood out. So we made reservations and eagerly awaited our visit. When we arrived, we were seated in the front next to a chef delicately slicing some iberico jamon. They brought us sparkling water, their fabulous vermouth, and a glass of cava. The drinks were great. Perusing the menu we got more excited - practically salivating with anticipation. When our waitress came back she insisted that since it was our first time, her strong recommendation would be for us to do a chefs menu and they would create a meal for us. Sure, sounds great! Let's go: "Olives" - perhaps we're jaded diners but yes, they're nice. Perhaps overdone because we've had this before. But yes, these olives are fine. Sardines in a bed of olive oil - nice light flavor. Coated in olive oil. Shrimp - nine (9) tiny boiled shrimp with a sprinkling of cracked salt. Would have been essentially flavorless without the salt. We were not fans of this. Razor clams - this was nice. A little sharp and acidic chew as you tossed it back. Cod with tomato paste and olive oil - no idea what the chef was thinking with this dish. The tomato paste had a subtle nice flavor but the cod was utterly flavorless and the whole dish was drenched in the olive oil. Not pleasant. Not tasty. I wanted to like it but did not like it at all. And it left a bad taste in our mouths. Baby octopus on a bed of tomato sauce - whereas the previous couple of dishes needed more seasoning, this was too salty. The first bite was a relief of seasoning. But the second bite was chewing an octopus salt lick. A tomatoey octopus salt lick with a bitter after taste. Quail - we did not agree on this one. I thought the flavors were decent, he thought it was all too vinegary. But I do like a little vinegar flavor. This reminded me of my parents chicken dinner they cook with beer or wine but not as tasty. The flavors here were similar but not as complex (my parents are not professional chefs...) and the quail was more than a tad dry. Tomato bread/tomato salad/cured beef - this was nice. The tomato bread was good. The tomatoes in the tomato salad were fresh, ripe, and juicy. And also covered in olive oil which it did not need. It could have been enhanced with just a touch of salt and pepper but still - nice tomatoes. And the cured beef, while not iberico ham, was surprising and tasty. It was leaner and had a smokey flavor. Lobster with bearnaise cream - why? It was not nice. It did not look nice and it did not taste nice. It was gross. Thank goodness it was just a tiny lobster. Did they just want to throw bearnaise on the menu? I don't understand. We didn't like it. We don't think anyone would like it. Dessert - throughout the meal we had a very smiley friendly waiter occasionally dropping off some of our plates. He recommended the "flan" for dessert so we got that. It was fantastic. Custardy and delicious. Then we asked for the check. We got the check 20 minutes later after we asked for it two more times. Our total for the tapas, two bottle of water, and three drinks came out to about 120 euros which is pretty darn reasonable for a nice meal but still sucks since the nice meal overall was not very nice. At the end of our meal our waitress asked how it was and we politely said it was nice (but it also feels rude to say it was terrible) and asked her what her favorites are. She then proceeded to tell us about her four or five favorites. It is notable to mention that we did not get any of her favorites. Our meal was all acid and olive oil. Her favorites did not seem to contain those items. We both went back to the hotel with upset tummies and our mouths coated still in the vaguely bitter and mineraly/metallic aftertaste of so much acid and olive oil. I got a little sick later that night vomiting back up the same tomatoes and olive oil. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. I would not come back. I would not recommend this. But if you do decide to come - get the vermouth; don't get the chefs selection.
With 3 nights in Barcelona we wanted to make sure we made the most of our food endeavors. After much research "Ticket" was on the top of the list . Unfortunately it's so popular secondary to owners and chef Ferran & Albert Adria's Michelin-Star that reservations have to be made way in advance for a weekend time slot. Luckily they are also the owners of Bodega 1900. The meal at Bodega 1900 was so phenomenal I can't imagine Ticket being that much better. Setting : A small appealing restaurant front leads into a homey basement type setting; the feel of sitting in your grandparents basement kitchen. There are views of the chefs and staff at work. Nothing is hidden. Staff: Our waitress was attentive enough and helpful with our options. Food: simplistic yet creatively crafted tapas perfected . Although I recommend everything, my top choices from our meal was the mussels and the prawns . A bonus is that they make in house Vermouth. Of course I had to try it although I'm more of a beer guy. I had two glasses . Lol that should say it all! The most disappointing thing was after experiencing other " highly rated "tapas restaurants we wished we had went to Bodega 1900 every night. Unfortunately they were closed the last night we we there If you don't stop here during your trip you're an idiot .
I wanted to try a restaurant of the Adria brothers and taste the food that they're known for. Barcelona wasn't a great place for tourists because locals are very rude to you, even the cops are just upright rude. However, this place was a nice little touch of customer service and good food. Waiters don't work for tips in Barcelona so we've been getting bad service everywhere around Barcelona. That wasn't the case here. Our waitress was very polite, catering and worked with us on what to order. We weren't sure what to order, so she did the chef's choice where she just kept bringing out tapas for us to enjoy. She was very knowledgeable of everything that was served and catered to our food allergies. I wanted to try the liquified olives and I'm so glad we did, we tried two different flavors too. Not sure how they did it, but it was just delicious. Barcelona is known for their vermouth so we had to try it here, where they make their own. It wasn't my cup of tea...err, cup of vermouth but it was still pretty good and I'm glad I tried it. Of course, there were iberico jamon on the plate for options so I was thrilled to have it at Bodega 1900 where they cure it themselves (hanging in the storefront of the restaurant). The foie gras itself tasted like it was made in their backyard, everything tasted so fresh! The best part is, my girls loved eating everything and our waitress even got their own portions, which was nice. They had fresh squeezed orange juice refilled for them and was a great part of our meal. They were just oogled over and treated like adults as far as customer service went. It was all great until we got the bill. It was the most expensive tapas I've ever had, over $200 (they charged in euros). I wished the waitress asked us what type of bill we're looking to pay, because that was pretty pricey. I paid it and even tipped a bit because the service was wonderful. However, I removed a star because of that issue with the bill. Everyone has a price range of what they're looking to pay, they should have asked that instead of adding to our bill like that. I'm glad i tried this place out because we were told that a lot of the foods are cooked at Tickets as well, without us needing the months in advanced reservations.
Last night in Barcelona. We couldn't get into Tickets but we were lucky enough to get into Bodega 1900. We walked in around 7ish and were told they can fit us in as long as we can finish up by 9:15. We were like oh that's plenty of time... ha! they haven't seen my man eat, he inhales his food. We went ahead and got the surprise menu. I won't write about each item, just check out the pictures, they are placed in order of how the food was served and know that everything was amazing. HREAT CHOICES. GOOD FOOD. EXCELLENT SERVICE. Hubby and I were so glad we got to try it out. It was a great experience. It's definitely a five star place. The service, the ambiance, the food were all amazing and worth it.
Oh yeah!!! We couldn't get into Tickets so we came here and it was fantastic. Get the house vermouth, it was so legit. We got the surprise meal, 12 courses of tapas that take you here, take you there, and all end up at delicious. I have never been moved by a meatball in my life until tonight. Lobster bisque in a lobster tail? Ok, lets do it!!! You will absolutely love it here. Great service, food, drink and classy. We were here for 2 hours eating and drinking the best around.
We were excited to finally dine at Bodega 1900 after waiting 2 months since making the reservation. Their vermouth is absolutely worth ordering. We decided to do the Chef's special. We started with Adria's famous liquid olives. He is able to amplify the taste of olives by creating a spherical shaped bubble filled with olive juice. You place the spoonful in your mouth and press it up against your palate. And bam...what you get is something "more olive than olive," as one food critic described. We thought the star dish was quail cooked in an amazing sauce with carrots and onions. That dish reminded me of turkey on thanksgiving without the dryness and heaviness associated with it. We weren't a big fan of the mushrooms. They were infused with lemon and some kind of fish sauce. The taste was very strange. Their meatballs and homemade feta cheese is worth getting. We finished with some kind of chocolate pie with sorbet. The chocolate was sprinkled with some sea salt, which it could have used more because it off set the bitterness of the chocolate. The apricot sorbet at the end was unforgetable. It was like biting into the 10 juicest, most flavorful apricots in one bite. We spent over 2 hours for this once in a lifetime experience. I wasn't sure if the Chef's special was worth it for 70 euros per person. You definitely leave the restaurant full after eating 12 dishes. But it seemed to be very heavy on the seafood side. I think we were better off choosing food, a la carte. The Chef's special did not include drinks or dessert. The reason we rated the restaurant 3 stars because of the poor service. The server forgot our bottled still and sparkling water two times. It took her a long time to get us the check. She appeared very overwhelmed. I didn't think they were staffed adequately. The next night, we dined at Tickets Bar, which had superior service than Bogeda 1900. Kev www.adreamersholiday.com

3.5/4 (try it once, probably not again) The point of this place is the fresh ingredients and the simplicity of the dishes. Foods were decently cooked, and everything was fresh but seasoning and the way things were prepared lacked the complexity and didn't wow me for what it cost. The vermouth mix was pretty good and this is coming from someone who doesn't like the alcoholic taste. All in all following the recommended set by the chef was good idea, gave us good variety of dishes that are traditional tapa items, but the cost to the taste wasn't there for me. Nice casual and intimate spot though. read more
It was an absolute must go to spot for me during my trip! We were a small party of 3 + one infant. It's a tiny spot but they found room for us and our baby carriage. Service was great and the food was simple and carried out very well! We tried so many different things - gotta love tapas My favorite items during this meal- grilled langoustine, tomato salad w/fresh feta paired w/smoked mackerel, and the artichoke flower, the olive And fried mullets. I had to choose. But honestly I'd do them all again and more. Also, vermouth on the rocks Here's the low down: Gordal & Pippara Oliva- more olive than an actual olive - popping boba ... Boiled sea snails Smoked mackerel w/fish roe - so smooth and delicate- not super fishy or oily Brown crab salad and dill - not my fave, expected a bit more Grilled Langoustine- sweet delicious shrimp OMG so good - but you only get one a bit pricey Tomato con pan Small octopus - interesting to eat- pop the whole think in your mouth and pop the ink - I wouldn't be able to eat too many of these. A little more undercooked and "fishy" for me Red Mullet soup w/fried mullets- the fried fish was delish Grilled artichoke flower- you must get this! Flavors were amazing - and the textures yo get from the grilled flower- crispy leaves and tender mids Fresh tomato salad and homemade feta - bomb! Mollette fried calamari- like a tiny hot dog made of breadsticks and filled with fried rings of calamari Cheesecake & chocolate tart w/pistachio read more

We stopped in while waiting for their sister restaurant, Tickets, to open. We had a few great tapas (croquettes and jamon ibérico and sardines, all of which were delicious). We enjoyed it so much that we returned the next night for a full dinner (fried mini shrimp, cheese, a 2nd kind of jamon ibérico, short rib empanadas, and the most exquisite chocolate dessert). Definitely don't skip the dessert here! The ingredients are all of the highest quality (like Tickets), but all in a more traditional style. The staff were very friendly and happy to explain the menu. read more

I didn't make a reservation and walked in nonchalantly thinking this was a regular tapas bar. All of the other patrons were quite surprised they accepted me to sit at the bar. Despite my embarrassing entrance, service was impeccable. After some recommendations, I chose the 6 course "omakase" and everything was delicious and interesting. The waiter told me I can increase the number of items if at the end of my meal I still want more. There was no set menu and since I was alone they were able to adjust the portions so I didn't have to pay and eat full plates on my own. Give this place a shot. You won't regret it! Oh, and don't forget the house vermouth! read more

We had a reservation at 1300hrs. We booked this one month before. Waited outside for five minutes as they were rushing around inside preparing the restaurant... However, the food and the service made up for the wait! I was so satisfied with this meal!!! We ordered the Chef's menu, everything was fresh. We had: olive spheres (amazing!), fresh prawns (tasted like it was fresh from the sea!), crisps served with spicy sauce, octopus, fried fish, fresh clams, calamari hot dogs, quail lollipops, fresh marinated tuna, grilled green salted chillies. The dessert was a salted chocolate ice cream with crispy bread (insanely good). With all that, a bottle of rose cava and two glasses of vermouth (herby refreshing alcoholic drink - worth a try!), our bill was 130 euros including tax. Our waiter was very polite, efficient and helpful with suggestions. He was probably the best waiter I've met during this trip! Great service. Great food. Had to wait at the beginning but they made up for it. read more

Other than tickets bar on the opposite side, this BODEGA 1900 is one of my favourite. As referred from a Tickets Bar senior staff, we visited this best kept secret tapas restaurant,too. An egg sharp delicacy with Olive Essence , La aceituna-S Gordal c/piparra as the first starter with seaweed rolls were unforgettable. The rest of their recommendations were all wonderful. The server also suggested El melon con vermut blanco, fresh Mellon with wine prepared, as the dessert to end this culinary journey. Frankly, they are one of the best. Thanks. read more

I ran into this restaurant on the way of searching for my Airbnb host. The waitress was very nice to show me where I should go. Turned out its right across the street. After shower I planed to go back to the restaurant to have a late dinner like every espanol. But it was already about to close. The manager suggested me to make a reservation right there, because it's always full! Why not? I just wrote down my name. I didn't realize the popularity of this little restaurant until I got there on the time they opened next day. There were already people waiting outside. And many of them seem like tourists. As I sat down, I heard most of them asking for recommendation as I did As the food were presented one by one. I started realizing the reason. All dishes looked so delicate as they tasted. Small dishes with great quality. Reminds me of Japanese food. It was obvious that it was not only my opinion. People around me kept nodding their heads and saying " delicious, delicious" I enjoyed it so much that I decided to take a desert even I was quite full. Homemade cheesecake was full of flavor as well. Everything was great until I received my bill. Hahahah. I didn't even ask for the price for each dish. But hey, I'm on holiday. I deserve it. Right? read more
Where should I start? This is a vermouth bar run by the Adrià brothers (from El Bulli heritage) but I can promise you that you won't leave hungry after sampling some of their tapas. They were so good we actually got them to squeeze us in for another meal two days later. :) We got excellent service even though we spoke English (didn't have a problem with that anywhere in Barcelona actually). Start with their house made vermouth, the potato crisps and some molecular olives and go from there. I believe we tried most of the tapas dishes and all three Cavas. Go for the Juve y Camps Millesime, but let the bottle warm up a bit on the table, they like to serve it too cold. Everything ranges from really good to perfection (hello olives ;)) but you can skip the chilled beef carpaccio (had a, for me, weird roe flavor), the chicken and foie gras cannelloni (good but not great) and the fried squid with mayo in bread (funny hot dog style but too much mayo). I will return the next time I'm in Barcelona and also try the Adrià brothers neighboring places Tickets or 41° Experience which seem even better. read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: an alternate restaurant since I could not get a reservation at Tickets Great friendly service. This is what we drank/ate: *House vermouth - tasty *Liquid olives *Hand made potato chips *Fried sardines *Sea urchin *Razor clams *Calamari rolls *Iberian ham *Grilled octopus with potatoes *Meat balls with French fries *Cheesecake - creamy & delightful read more

I didn't have a reservation and was concerned about getting a spot and they were able to accommodate me in a small space which was perfect. I took the chef's tasting menu and it was superb! The initial olive "explotion" was an amazing first start and then on it was one surprise after the other. Don't miss this spot while in Barcelona read more

This place is THE best of Barcelona! Hands down the BEST Jamon we had during our stay! The vermout was incredible, and we had Sea anemone for the first time and it was insane! This will be our first stop on our next visit. We ALMOST changed our travel schedule around (would have happily lost deposit on a hotel!) so we could go there one more time before heading back to the states! MUST GO. read more

Booked Bodega 1900 as a backup in case I couldn't book Tickets. Managed to score a reservation for Tickets and I wrestled with the idea of cancelling Bodega 1900. Good thing I didn't because Bodega 1900 was one of our better dining experience of our trip. Hate to say it but Bodega 1900, in my opinion, was way better than Tickets. The service was very professional and sincere. Less gimmicky than Tickets. The food is just as good and more approachable. The menu is a traditional tapas menu. We ordered some plates and drank their house vermouth which they poured at the table. All the dishes were good but some just stood out. Their Jamon Iberico was of very good quality. Love the way it's served at the table. I won't spoil it for you. Order it and you'll see what I mean. Their salt-cured, air-dry beef is to die for. It's sliced thin and it melts in your mouth with a funky aftertaste that reminds me of canned corned beef but in a good way. They had these seasonal tomatoes that looked pinkish and unripe but turned out to be the sweetest tomatoes I've ever had in my life. I really thought they sprinkled sugar on it! And the flan! It was suggested by our waiter. Just order it. You'll never look at another flan in the same way again. It's easy to book a reservation here but that might change because it'll be featured in an up-coming Anthony Boudain's 'Parts Unknown' episode. You know what happens what he likes a restaurant, you won't be able to get in anymore. So go now while you still can. You won't regret it. read more

OMG! This is the place is the best little food gem in Barcelona. After reading and searching for places to eat I found this place. It certainly not in a touristic area and we took the subway just to get here. The place is tiny and so beautiful. You sit on this tiny tables (reserve in advanced). They serve small tapas from mussels, to Tiny buns with fried calamari to the famous jamon. The wine! Oh the wine was exceptional. read more

This was my favorite restaurant in Barcelona. We ordered their tasting menu. Husband didn't understand how I could eat more than him, but I did. I loved the food, the ambience, and the our cute waiter who smiled and told us to leave it to him to choose the two desserts and we were so glad that we did! read more

Let me preface this by saying I really wanted to love Bodega 1900. I had heard the accolades about the Adrià brothers, read the reviews, had gone to see their demonstration while in Miami, and I absolutely couldn't wait to see what they could do. Since we were unable to get reservations for the renowned Tickets (we later discovered they were hosting a private event that night), we figured we would try Bodega 1900 instead so that we could get their take on the traditional fare of the region. The prices are a bit higher than your average tapas place, which is often the case with such a notable chef. It doesn't tend to bother me so long as the cuisine itself lives up to the accolades. However, instead of an unforgettable meal that I couldn't stop raving about, I just found myself feeling a underwhelmed. Maybe it was an off night, or we ordered the wrong items, but I just don't get the hype. Also, other than the olive "spheroids" I don't really understand the reviews that consider this place imaginative. It is very conservative. As much as I try to avoid comparisons between one restaurant and another, I found it impossible not to compare Bodega's gastro take on olives to the others we had during the course of our trip (Disfrutar and El Celler de Can Roca). The snow crab toast was also similar to one I had experienced at ABC Kitchen in New York, and the rest...well they were no different than any other tapas place we went, and that includes the generic market stalls. Moreover, they lost to others on almost every front. While I cannot deny that the ingredients themselves were fresh, I couldn't help feeling let down by each item we ordered. Some items were over salted, others just plain bland, and overall I just couldn't help but to think...that's it? The Iberian ham croquette was competent but unremarkable. Ordering the manchego reserve cheese meant a small plate with just three wedges. No bread, no honey or nuts, none of anything to make it better in any way to the fare you would find in a local grocery store. The pan con tomate was possibly the worst version of the dish I had during our time in Spain, with the bread being slightly burnt. Although the space itself is beautifully decorated, it is also very small. The tables are practically on top of each other. From what I overhead said by the patrons around me munching on their tiny sandwiches slathered in mayo and over-fried calamari, it seemed that no one was thrilled with their meal. Moreover, I don't normally care much about service, except when the staff is just outright rude as ours was. Not only was he unfriendly with us, but when he knocked into the table next to us and spilled their water, he didn't even apologize to them. For being under the umbrella of such an impressive culinary pedigree I would expect better training of their staff. Again though, maybe it was just a random fluke of bad luck there. In Spain I can think of at least a dozen better options when you're looking for tapas, and if you really want to try something from the Adrià brothers and Tickets is unavailable, I'd suggest El Niño Viejo Taqueria instead. They may not be serving local dishes but it is a more satisfying choice. read more
During an impromptu bike ride through Barcelona, my friend and I tried to see if we could get into Tickets. When the waiter said the chance was slim, he recommended we go right across the street to Bodega 1900 which is managed by Ferran Adrià's younger brother Albert Adrià. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the food was phenomenal (see photo). I'd recommend those trying to experience molecular gastronomy outside of San Sebastián and who can't try Tickets to come here! read more

We read many reviews before we came here and we weren't disappointed. The food and the service were excellent. This was our first dinner in Barcelona, so the waiter suggested the Chef's suggestions. We had roughly 10 dishes to share amongst 3 people, wine and vermouth. Finished it with some desert and coffee. The bill was €200 but it was well worth it. Great start to our trip! read more

Gourmet tapas in cosy and unpretentious restaurant. The best food we got since we moved to Barcelona 1 month ago. We asked the waiter to make a "selection de la case" with priority on seafood, joined by a bottle of cava. The tapas was creative and very nice looking but most important, tasted very good. Most of the seafood was cooked very lightly or not at all. Examples: Sea Anemone in tempura batter and very small shrimps a la plancha, to be consumed with shells. Not exactly a cheap restaurant, but it's really worth the money. Waiters are attentive, good at giving advice and friendly. A place to return to when gourmet tapas are needed. read more

Everything we had was very tasty. The portions were definitely on the smaller side which was nice so that you can try more dishes but it was priced on the higher side compared to other restaurants in the area. Still worth a try, don't forget to make reservations; just make sure you're not starving when you go. Favourites were liquid olive, sea urchin, razor clams, bread with tomato and Iberian ham, smoked mackerel variety dish and beef and tomato stew. read more

Technically I'd give this place 4.5 stars, but if I had to round I'd round up. The ambience was cute and romantic, the service was impeccable, the presentation was beautiful, and most of our courses were delicious. We did the chef's menu (surprise menu) and started with the liquid olives, chips and vinegar, and sardines (so good). Then we had a cod in tomato sauce (one of my favorites of the night), baby squid (best we had in BCN), and two meats before we were surprised with fresh heirloom tomatoes in cut and tea form (molecular gastronomy style). The main disappointments for us were the most popular dishes based on Yelp!, which were the calamari hot dog (not good), and the croquettes (nothing standout). The dessert was delicious -- we splurged and go the melon (very very strong) and strawberry pastry with vanilla bean ice cream (amazing). Highly recommend making a reservation here (we weren't able to book Tickets but this was great!) and also making sure to get their house vermouth. Would definitely come here for a special occasion, price was reasonable as well -- for 9 courses, 4 vermouths, 1 beer, the total was 120 euro. read more

Delicious last leisurely meal in Barcelona! We weren't sure what to order, so we went with Chef's Pick. We were not disappointed! We had 10-12 tapas plates of deliciously executed food. Would definitely come back if I were ever in Barcelona again! I highly recommend! read more

Loved the Pennucchi vermouth over large rocks with a spritz bottle on the side, nori rings fried with sesame seeds, aceituna (olive gels filled with savory juices), turistas (artichoke heart stuffed with pepper and topped with anchovy), mackerel sushi bits, razor clams in the mildest mustard sauce possible, creamiest ham croquette ever, crisp crusted pan con tomate, and calamari sandwich with aioli and kimchee sauce! Friendly but seriously perfectionist staff chose most of this for us and attended to every detail, and made us feel at ease enough to take all the time we wanted. Couldn't be better! read more
