    Came at the height of lunch hour, and boqueria stalls are standing room only and this was the only place that had available tables for 2 (go figure). Plunked down, asked for WiFi password and ordered the usual tourist menu of gambas, half jamon iberico, manchego cheese, patatas fritas, bread and 2 glasses of Rose. £55 euros later, we stood up and was still hungry so we walked around the boqueria for crepe.... There are more restaurants in the area offering same menu for half the price !

    These are the grilled mixed vegetables.  Delish, but oily.

    Casa Guinart is on La Rambla, located near one of the main entrances Mercado de La Boqueria. Tourist trap like all others? Thankfully, no. Sure it gets the mainstream of tourists (like me), but it is also home to locals and business people for lunch. A very cute, upscale place. 2 floors, thin and narrow. First floor, kitchen, prep, and counter seating. Second floor, table dining. Both adorable and rustic. I found the prices reasonable for what I ordered, and quality stuff. 1. Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli -- amazing, everything you would expect from freshly made ravioli with a cream sauce and fresh parm. Not a lot, but 5 medium-sized raviolis was perfect. [5.0 stars, €8.50, $8.99] 2. Patatas Bravas -- omg. Fresh fried chunk potatoes with a spicy aioli crema atop that was literally drinkable. [5.0 stars, €4.90, $5.18] 3. Mussels -- a boatload of mussels, 24 of them or so. I think, very well priced. Although they were cooked well, absolutely no flavor. Cook them in white wine, tomato, garlic -- something! [3.5 stars, €7, $7.41] With some white wine, this turned out to be a special date place for my gf and I, and one of our best meals in Barcelona. Recommend.

    Jamón Ibérico (cured ham). Thinly sliced, direct from the black hoof pig leg. So delicious!

    Casa Guinart is a great little tapas bar; located directly behind the Mercado de La Boqueria. My husband, sister, and I arrived around 4:30 pm and immediately found three stools at the bar. The bar overlooks the open kitchen area so you can watch the chefs prepare your food. We ordered several glasses of red wine as well as the marinated olives, jamon iberico (cured ham from an acorn fed, black hoofed Iberian pig), and fried padron peppers. Everything was so delicious! The tapas were all made to order and contained high quality ingredients. I would have ordered more from the menu, but we had dinner plans at 7 pm and I didn't want to spoil my appetite. We finished our meal with espressos and a plate of assorted cookies and truffles. Would definitely add this spot if you are looking for great tapas in Barcelona!

    I have been to this staple restaurant on La Rambla for 4-5 times over the years I visited Barcelona. The seafood is among the freshest I have had in town. Sitting by the counter and drinking a cold beer while watching and waiting for your grilled shrimp, razor clams... is an experience I want to have again and again.

    We wanted some grilled shrimps that we saw people eating in the market during the day time. Most of the restaurants in the market are alrdy closed, so we ended up with this since it's the only one opened. Didn't like the service, I thought the server was not friendly and had an attitude. Made a face when we ordered a main to share. Since we have been eating around all day, we just wanted to start small and see how we feel after the first dish. We orders grilled shrimp and it tasted really good and fresh but very expensive for just 6 pieces. We add another dish which was the octopus and it tasted good but forgettable. I think all restaurants in Barcelona tourist areas are all tourist trap. I def felt that way, I also find them not as friendly as they shld be since we the tourist are spending money in their country and keeping their economy alive. Will not return.

    Súper buena comida y la atención espectacular

    super muy bueno el servicio y la paella es una de las mejores echa al momento !!!! Se los recomiendo!!!

    When I think back over the few days I spent exploring Barcelona, one of my fondest memories is the time I spent at Casa Guinart. Located on the busy Las Ramblas, with a direct entrance into the Mercado de La Boqueria, it's a wonderfully convenient location that offers up some pretty serious Tapas & neat wine selections. With a small quaint interior & a nice row of bar seating outside, it makes for the perfect place to people-watch as the bustle of locals & tourists alike, migrate down Las Ramblas. The Patatas Bravas (potatoes in spicy sauce with an aioli foam) are absolute magic, fast becoming one of my favorite dishes on the menu. The tapas size paella is delicious, while a little spendy for its size, it felt worth every cent. With a nice crust & hitting all of the right flavor notes, it was easily the best paella I had whilst visiting Spain. Other notable dishes include the scallops with romesco sauce, the Iberico tasting plate & the braised oxtail. The food here is just divine. If you're looking for extremely tasty, casual & fuss free tapas in Barcelona, look no further than Casa Guinart. You won't be disappointed.

    Amazing spinach and ricotta ravioli and jamon sampler. Local patatas bravas was great too. I also enjoyed the sangria. The location is right next to the Mercat la Boqueria.

    Fresh... nothing stood out.  But the artichokes was the dish of the day and it was amazing!!
    Keith K.

    I love this place, friendly staff and sitting at the bar watching the chefs at work makes it more enjoyable. I particularly like the grill iberico pork, tender and imo very similar to veal. The one thing I want to remind you all, as strangers come in and out pretending to look for the menu, be very careful with your belongings!! I left my phone out and the chef was quick to remind me to put it away as he spotted a potential thief who was about to take it away!!!

    Steamed mussels - 7 euros
    Ellina H.

    A cute place in La Rambla. The kitchen appears well organized and the seafood displayed at the bar looks fresh. Food is just okay. I had steamed mussels and it tasted good, but bit too salty. A small dish of mussels was 7 euros and I find that a little bit expensive compared to other restaurants. The experience here was okay, but I left upset due to the service. I paid with credit card and saw I got charged in US dollars. On the receipt it was written that there is a 3.5% markup for foreign currency transaction. I ask them to cancel the transaction and swipe the card again since I wanted to pay in euros. The server said that they are unable to cancel the transaction and just shrugged, not so apologetic. I'm pretty sure that there is no such thing as 'I can't cancel a credit card transaction.' It's just bad service.

    Pulpo
    Lane J.

    I stopped by this place for lunch one day while visiting the city. I had the pulpo (octopus). Good flavor although I do prefer mine a bit more charred. The potatoes served alongside where seasoned nicely.

    This is a restaurant right off Boqueria and has been in existence since 1899 ! I don't know why it is still around! The food was horrible . I was trying not to eat at Rambla - but we were really hungry. I regret it. Avoid this place!

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.

While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!
