    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.

    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

    Bait and switch. Bill was 2Xs "special" because I was told I should have an appetizer I didn't realize was not part of the "special"!

    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...

    Our server divided Paella for two at the table.

    We had a delicious Paella on our only night in Barcelona staying at Le Meridian. Service was outstanding.

    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.

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

    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!

    inaccurate promotion terms online

    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.

    Tiramisu

    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!

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!

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.

Our server, Amaya, was funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took great care of us, and every single recommendation he made was delicious. I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona!

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside.

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!

Nestled in an unassuming network of cobble stone lined alley ways are hidden gems worth discovering. We came looking for tapas, paella, sangria; and we found just that. Location: Plaza de España is within a 5 min walk, blocks away from shopping, and 30 minutes from the airport by way of shuttle. Used Google Maps with several sharp turns to find this local favorite. Service: the owner employs his pet Pomeranian, that follows the wait staff unconditionally. This is a no frills restaurant; grab a seat anywhere you like, and order off the menu. What we ate: Table service - pitted olives; briny and herbaceous. So delicious as an appetizer. Crisp Potatoes - served with aioli and red pepper sauce; so simple yet so comforting. Fried Calamari - can't go wrong with crispy calamari. Pork & Mushroom Paella - I know we're used to seeing seafood, but pork and mushroom with crispy rice is different, bold, and worth each bite. Sangria Blanco - I won't lie, it was heaven with the first sip, and it left me wanting more. Unlike its red cousin; white sangria is lighter and more fruit forward. So refreshing!

    What a gem! Yes, it's a bit touristy -- but in the fun, festive, "you're on vacation and loving…read morelife" kind of way. Taverna El Glop wraps you up in its warm, lively atmosphere the second you walk in. We were a group of four, and from start to finish, we had an awesome time. The open kitchen is a great touch -- you can watch the chef in action, which adds to the energy and makes the whole experience feel more connected and authentic. We shared a bunch of dishes, and everything was on point. The paella was rich and delicious -- exactly what we came for. The patatas bravas were crispy, creamy, and gone in seconds, and the shishito peppers were the perfect salty, snacky starter. Of course, we had to get a pitcher of sangria (okay, maybe two), which was fruity, refreshing, and just strong enough to keep things festive. The space itself has this great, rustic charm -- complete with checkered tablecloths and even an old cigarette machine near the bar (haven't seen one of those since I was a kid -- aren't those banned in the U.S. now?). I don't smoke -- smoking sucks -- but it added a bit of unexpected nostalgia and character. Service was excellent. I always make a point to be friendly, ask people their names, and introduce myself -- and that's usually met with warmth. It definitely was here. The staff were quick, kind, and seemed to enjoy the place as much as we did. Personally, I loved it. It's the kind of place you remember -- not because it's fancy or trendy, but because it's fun, flavorful, and full of heart. Highly recommend if you're in the area.
