This is a hotel restaurant so - take that as you may regarding food and ambiance - we had the steak special for lunch and it was adequate. Underseasoned but cooked well. It was also at a decent price point so I recommend it. The service was also good. read more

Here for daily breakfast; spectacular buffet! The service is very friendly and complete. Great english speakers. Edgar and Alison are great proactive servers. The omelette station lady from Cali is a sweetheart. Very airy and classy ambiance. Really good espresso coffee and Lattes read more

This restaurant is part of Le Meridien Hotel in Las Ramblas. We were there as a group of 30 for a Barcelona tour farewell. We had two food choices, beef or fish. There was red and white wine served too. I chose the baby carrots, cod, and mango mousse. The baby carrots were just the right tenderness on top of tahini with beet root powder. The cod was tender and delicious, albeit salty. And that's why I took a star off. The mango mousse was decadent and the best I've ever had. It had some sort of fruit filling inside. Cool lounge music was playing in the restaurant. It was a Saturday night. As people came in, they were turned away. All the tables had been reserved that evening. read more

This is the restaurant in the Le Méridien hotel in Barcelona. We ate breakfast here each morning of our stay and though the place gets very busy and crowded, the service was always excellent! The food was pretty nice and they had plenty of options; such as, croquettes, omelet station, scrambled eggs, full charcuterie, breads, juices, breakfast meats, etc. The dining room if beautiful and though it gets packed, you can relax and dine comfortably at your table. The best seats are those in the window on the Ramblas, where you can watch all the traffic and pedestrians. read more

Updated to add: the food was mediocre at best. We ordered almost everything on the menu and nothing was beyond decent. We arrived here super excited to dine and drink, expecting our tab to be €200+. We were seated in the far back corner of the restaurant, its only location that is dark and obscured from any natural light or views of the surrounding street. We very politely asked if it was possible that we move to a table with some natural light and a view of the street. There were plenty of available tables to accommodate us. Unfortunately, the waitress asked the manager and then reported he said no. I was especially disappointed to see afterwards a family of 5 with young kids seated in the exact spot we'd asked for 5 minutes earlier. I hate spending top dollar for sub standard service and being hidden in a dark corner when there are amazing street views for people watching. read more

Only got small appetizers and a couple glasses of wine and even that was good. Staff was friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere despite coming in later at night. read more

During our stay at Le Meredian (Wednesday August 3 to Sunday August 7), my wife and I enjoyed their breakfast buffets for 17 euros each. This particular breakfast buffet definitely felt like one you'd encounter in a U.S. hotel, with scrambled eggs and bacon. It also had local dishes like croquettes and various cold meats. The staff members were very friendly and spoke some English. The best part was the unlimited coffee, that included lattes. The young lady who makes the coffee drinks (and works at the coffee stand in the lobby) is especially friendly! On our first evening in Barcelona, we also had dinner here. My wife ordered the tenderloin and I got the burger with fries. Although I enjoyed my burger, I wish I had also ordered the tenderloin. We both agreed it was the best steak we've had during our entire trip in Spain. She also ordered the vegetables, based on the server's recommendation, which were delicious. For dessert, we ordered the ice cream dishes. For 8 euros each, they were small for the price, especially my wife's fruit one. Although my wife and I will not stay at this hotel again, we would come back here again in a heartbeat for breakfast read more

This restaurant was in the same building as our Hotel Le Meridian and our tour director arrange dinner for us on the first night of the tour here. The restaurant dining entrance was on La Rambas. The restaurant had a colorful trendy ambience in a cozy comfortable dining room. Our dinner was very good and the service was wonderful read more

BAIT AND SWITCH. (Told to get the special menu, then recommended an appetizer without being told it was OFF the special menu. Got bill 2Xs the price of the special!) I visited the restaurant because it also carried the Le Meridien Hotel brand name. I was told by the hostess I should try the 25 euro special, as it came with a nice wine, appetizer and dessert. She sang its praises. I agreed. When asked what I would want for my appetizer, I was told I should have the octopus. I was NOT told that it was not part of the 25 euro special. I was disappointed to receive a bill that was itemized at nearly TWICE the price of the special menu I was shown. I was told this happened because I ordered the octopus appetizer making everything else a PER ITEM ORDER... And, on another point, when I asked for tap water instead of bottled (trying to be green) I was told they would have to get an OK from the manager - and that the Barcelona tap water (which I had been drinking all week) is too bad to drink. Bait and switch. Something I wouldn't expect with a restaurant associated with Le Meridien... read more

It was really delicious! Great wine! I only had salad and patatas bravas (vegan), but my friend had croquettes and a seafood dish and loved them both! read more

Great place for dinner with nice view on crowded La Rambla. The food is delicious. Russian salad has homemade mayo that makes the difference! Absolutely yummy. Seafood paella and salmon are delicious as well. The interior and service would not disappoint I loved complimentary waffle chocolates, crunchy and yummy. read more

The food was not that great. The croquette I got was pretty good. Potatoes with tomato sauce was not that good. I got the signature Rice dish and it was really salty. The beer wasn't that good either. I was a little disappointed because it's my first dinner in Spain. read more

This is for the bar area. We returned to this spot almost nightly as it was a both a meeting place and a spot to unwind before dinner. Service was prompt and always attentive. Some snacks were provided and on a few nights we also ordered some bar food - but nothing like the items we are used to in the US. These were really topical and the cheeses in particular fantastic. read more

Had Christmas dinner here since everything was closed for Christmas. Daughter ordered hamburger (too big for 5yo) Son had paella (he thought it was good) I had the angus steak (it was ok) Hubby got the halal chicken (he thought chicken was too dry) The best thing we had were the tiramisu (so good we ordered two of them) read more

Ranked #4 of our 5 tapas meals in BCN. Rounding up to 4 stars because the food was quite nice, though it's expensive given location and connection to the Meridien hotel... so probably 3 stars relative to price. We ended up here because we were hungry, recently arrived and couldn't deal with adventuring further. Delicious gazpacho and Iberian ham, though it's hard to go wrong on the latter. Other items were all good but not memorable. read more

Food was good and interior is pretty. Waiters forgot some of our orders and we had to remind them to grab it from the kitchen. They also would bring us other peoples orders by mistake. There was also live music which was nice at first with the bassist, but then a singer started performing and we couldn't hear each other speak across the table. read more

It is an upscale place, inside Le Méridien Hotel. Environment is very nice and food is also nicely presented. read more

Great music with nice atmosphere. The waiter was nice and attentive. I will definitely return. He was also quick for Spanish standards so I was impressed and pleased. The tapas were seasoned so perfectly and I thought the presentation was very nice too. The restaurant had a nice jazzy feel to it, with soft music playing in the background. My friend and I got the house wine that is offered and I thought it was fantastic. The white house wine was light and fresh, and went down smoothly. It complimented the food perfectly. I got the chicken over basmati rice, and my friend got the salmon, and we shared the patatas bravas. The food was reasonably priced so I was very pleased, because walking in I thought it would be expensive since the restaurant is on the fancier end and the service was so good. Overall, I recommend this place and I can't wait to go again with another friend who is visiting soon! read more

Food: A solid 4 stars, the desserts and lamb shoulder were particularly great. Big portions for mains- suggest to share if not super hungry. Service: Mixed feelings about this. One of the waiters (the younger guy) was sweet and friendly, the other one did his job but wasn't the most patient or nice Vibe: Semi-fancy but playing some trendy music which was a bit confusing Could be improved: They offer a 40% discount via reservations through thefork.com but on thefork.com the only conditions listed was that the discount does not apply to drinks or the set menus. However, in person in the restaurant there was more conditions than listed on thefork.com, very confusing for the waiters to explain - why can't they just list this on a card or on thefork.com? see photo uploaded for what is listed the additional conditions are apparently (not written anywhere to validate): each person (including kid or teenager) must order one drink, one starter or dessert and one entree to receive the discount. Honestly, all the hassle and confusion around this promotion could have been greatly reduced and made for a much smoother dining experience. Please work out the kinks around this. read more

Delicious and great ambiance! Not a terrible spot for toddlers although the kids menu was pretty decent. I had the hummus with pita and feta salad to start-- husband had the jamon croquette. Hummus was delicious as was the feta salad-- hubby wasn't impressed by the croquette. For entree, I had the vegetarian paella and hubby had seafood paella. Paella was pretty good and best part was that unlike other restaurants that require you to order 2 portions, here each order is per person but big enough to share! Someone had recommended the tiramisu and it was amazing!!! Definitely will return for the tiramisu! read more

This bar/restaurant is located in the Le Meridian hotel which is where we happened to stay. American tourists in Barcelona for our honeymoon, we stopped in for an easy dinner on Las Ramblas. The service was fantastic and the environment is quite elegant, but the food was average. Not cheap, but not outrageous. All together fine for a convenient dinner in the heart of Barcelona. read more

Good breakfast buffet if you!re staying at the hotel. Located riight off the La Ramblas so you can sit and people watch. Sitting in the bar is nice. The sangria is good & strong. Atmosphere is classy. read more

Every time I visit Barcelona I come to this restaurant. Not only do I feel a little bit posh eating here, but the food, the atmosphere and the service is excellent. This is also one of the few places I have found that clearly marks what is gluten, wheat, dairy free on their menu in Barcelona. Unfortunately my onion allergy left me with few choices so I ended up eating a lot of gluten free bread - which was actually a treat in itself at a restaurant! and the potatas bravas dish, which as a tapas was very small, only 8 small potato pieces topped with the bravas sauce. They were delicious although maybe a little oily but there just wasn't enough! But that's okay, it was delicious none the less. I will certainly return next time I'm in Barcelona! read more

Very very slow service.. came here at 1.30pm.. its now 3.05pm and we are still here waiting on our food.. we got the daily menu 16 euro with one starter, main course and dessert. Good thing our server Lin was very attentive read more

We have eaten breakfast here Every morning for the four days we've been in Barcelona - the breakfast buffet (which was part of our Costco travel package). The servers are great, they tried to seat us somewhere different everytime we went since they realized we that we liked to people watch. They had a great selection of breakfast items, juices, cereals, breads, cheeses and mimosa. I am so glad we added that on to our package. read more

The dinner here is great! Good service with a nice menu and good wines. However, the lunch here was just okay as the menu was a bit small. And I'd skip the breakfast - the menu is quite small and the buffet choice does not provide many good options. read more
