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!

Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection. Chocolate desserts, oh my! Yup, get those too.

We are completely confused. This restaurant is well-reviewed and the owner has published two…read morecookbooks, so our group of 4 were all shocked to be served what could most accurately be described as hospital food. The starter salad was not fresh and not seasoned. The vegetable of the day was overcooked boiled potatoes and green beans with no seasoning. The soup of the day was as thick as glue, and again, under-seasoned. The fresh hake was deep fried and overcooked. The "steak" was a cheap cut, maybe 3mm thin, and looked like something that would be served at a prison. We sat at the restaurant looking at online photos from positive reviews, wondering if we had shown up on the chef's day off. We do not speak Catalan, but when our waitress came to clear our plates, and saw that we hadn't eaten some items, she made it clear that she understood why. We had a dozen items. The pork cheek was decent. The ice cream was fine. The crema was fine. Nothing else. This was easily the worst meal we had in a MONTH in Catalonia.

We were told that the sons of the owners of this restaurant own the 3 Michelin star restaurant just down the street. It's no wonder their kids have cooking chops because the food at Can Roca is as good as home made gourmet food gets. For two people with drinks, our 3 course meal (not counting a poached egg complementary starter) came out to less than 30 euros! We came at the end of the lunch crowd, around 4pm, when they were closing their lunch hours and reopening later for dinner. Despite the odd hour, the restaurant was completely packed but we didn't have to wait long to get a table. The whole place was locals only. Their menu is small and we were told they were already out of quite a few items. We basically told our server to give us whatever they had still available and whatever else she recommended. I can't tell you the names of the dishes but everything was just spectacular. We had these potato croquettes that were so divine, a bit salty from the meat mixed in, but super creamy. Even the potato and peas dish turned out to be really good- simple but satisfying. For the main dishes, we got the ribs with roasted chestnuts, and a stewed beef with mushrooms. The meats were so tender. And then for dessert we got some type of chocolate mousse with cookie crumbles and a coconut cream mousse with pineapple bits. This is the stuff you can expect to get at a fancy restaurant, definitely not at a mom and pop shop. Needless to say, we left very full and will definitely be back next time we are here.

Most reviews laud the menu as great value for money. That is a disservice to this place. Yes it is great value for money but it's more than that. it's truly a great dining experience. I went for the tasting menu expecting to chose one of the 6 appetizers which they called pica pica, turns out you get all of them. I figured it would be small amounts. Wrong again they first brought out an excellent salad with a a grilled goat cheese and tomato toast with jamón ibérico. Then these incredible fresh mussels. Then chicken croquets and 2 incredible stuffed píquillo peppers in a wonderful sauce. The main dish was a very well done fresh dorado and then desert. Also included wine or water. All this for 28 . We also ordered Ham croquettes. These were increíble Great food at a really good price with great service. We had some great meals in tossa. None better than this one

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.

Can Cortada is a long metro ride to the northeastern edge of Barcelona next to the Collserola…read moremountains. It is situated in an old regal Catalan farmhouse. The highlight of the meal are the calçots, but the other Catalan dishes are also knockouts. The service is top notch as everyone is extremely eager to please, and won't hesitate to help you. Calçots amb Romesco: The calçots are so popular that I don't think they are even on the menu. Hold up, what exactly are calçots anyway? Calçots are large green onions that are longer than your arm. They are in season from November to April, so your time your trip accordingly. They are grilled over a wood fire and then served on a clay rooftop tile. The hostess knew we didn't know what we were doing, so she had a waiter provide a demonstration. Put on your bib and gloves. First, you have to hold the calçot by the green top. Next, you take your other hand and pull the blackened outer layer downward. Vertically dip the calçot into the orange romesco sauce and then lower the calçot into your mouth and take a bite. Each order has about 20 calçots, so you will have time to practice through repetition. The core is juicy, soft, and creamy with a really mild subtle onion flavor. The romesco sauce is composed of tomatoes, red bell peppers, almonds, hazelnuts, and garlic. The sauce is so delicious with the calçots that you want to hoard it for the other dishes. If you do this correctly, there will be charcoal and romesco stains everywhere. Escalivada: Another Catalan favorite is escalivada, which are long slices of red bell peppers and eggplants with olive oil, garlic, and salt that are grilled in the embers of a wood fire. The vegetables are silky smooth and soft from slow cooking. There is also a small round of soft crumbly goat's milk cheese that has been brûléed on top for a nice sharp contrast of flavors. Butifarra de la Garriga: Catalan pork sausage is grilled and served with tender white beans, garlic, and parsley. It is a really simple dish, but it is extremely comforting and delicious. Canelones de Carne Tradicionales Gratinados: In a cast-iron pan, the crepes are filled with shredded pork and rolled up into a cannelloni shape covered with a bechamel sauce and topped with cheese before being heated. The sauce is rich, buttery, and cheesy. Catalan cuisine is now one of all-time favorite cuisines and Can Cortada may be one of the best places to sample it.
