    Hidden gem in the cusp of Manresa…read more We came out here for a quick bite to eat as we explored the area. We had the meal of the day, which consisted of a starter, a main, a drink and a dessert. First off, we weren't expecting too much because the meal was not expensive. But soon, we received an amuse bouche of of an avocado salsa (on the house) that set us on a different path. From then on, as each course came out, we were pleasantly surprised by the fresh and interesting take the chef had for each dish that came out. My first course was a fish salad - two ways. The first way was a simple tuna salad with tomatoes, onions and lettuce. The second was anchovy, pimiento and lettuce. Over both salads was a mustard vinaigrette that was a wonderful foil for the briny taste of the seafood. My second course was essentially a paella with mushrooms, pimiento, garlic, and asparagus. It was quite good with just enough crunchy bits on the bottom of the pan. For dessert, I had what looked like an eclair but was anything but. It was a light and fluffy choux pastry topped with a berry compote, cream, and a liquid dark chocolate. This sounds like a heavy dessert but it is anything but. Must-try! I also got to try the grilled steak, served with Belgian style skinny fries, garlic aioli and creamy pimiento aioli. I would suggest choosing the chicken or the ribs because those tasted even better. We got free drinks with our meal too - it was part of the meal of the day. To complete the experience, the chef himself came out to see how we were doing and how we liked the food. The best part of the meal was that it was only 12.50 Euro per person. We could not fathom how we could get a meal that good for so little. MUST VISIT IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA!

    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!

    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.

    Everytime I go to San Cugat, LA BARRA, is the "to go place". I love the atmosphere, the service is…read moregreat and food superb! Tapas are delicious! Barcelona/Catalunya has the best food in Spain! no kidding!

    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
