    Con Garcia located at a quiet neighborhood away from the tourist spots in Barcelona. I noticed it's a good mix of locals and tourists. There are 2 types of menu: the "Experience" menu and the Spring Menu. Only dishes from the Spring menu is listed in the menu, and the Experience Menu is a blind course -- you don't know what you will be getting. And even though the table next to you order the Experience Menu, it doesn't mean that both table gets the same thing. The key: tell them if you have any allergies, whether there's food you dislike, AND what you prefer. With the use of the freshest local ingredients, the chef presented a 5-course tasting menu, with measureable Asian influence: Japanese sichimi pepper, seaweed, Chinese Hoisin sauce... I was amazed by the presentation of the dessert: it's pretty and good! The "Cherry" desserts made my night complete! They offer an excellent wine pairing for an additional €30, and you wouldn't regret. The wines selected compliments with each dish very nicely. All are local wines, with grape varietals that are rarely available in the US. It's supposed to be half glass each, but the servers were very generous. Service was superb! The host and hostess knows their dishes and wine, and would answer all your questions. The host was my favorite: humorous personality, thorough knowledge on wines, attentive, and he was willing to help make things possible. This is a friendly, relaxed, and pleasant restaurant, so don't expect something extremely professional like those Michelin 3-stars (and they don't need that)! All I can say is: very good food, excellent wine pairing, and superb services! Thanks Con Garcia!

    A truly delightful experience! My sisters and I went here for a special celebration, and the host and hostess took such good care of us! We do not eat pork so the entire menu was tailored to our dietary restrictions. All of the meals were refreshing, innovative, and, most importantly, delicious! The ambiance is cozy, warm, and welcoming with a high-end feel. Further, the host kept the restaurant open late for us as we exchanged gifts for our special celebration - such kind people work here. Could not recommend this place more for a wonderful and thoughtful dining experience in Barcelona. Will definitely be coming back here during my next trip in Spain :) to the host and hostess that took care of us - thank you :) from the Texans!

    Looking for a traditional Catalan meal, at a large restaurant packed with locals? Are you a picky eater that wants to select or control every course you get? Con Gracia is not the place you're looking for, there are plenty of other options in Barcelona that will be able to deliver what you want. While they do offer local ingredients and wines for the pairing, the food tends to err on the side of international molecular rather than conventional Spanish. That being said, this intimate dining spot delivers a high level of sophistication, and some great flavor combinations for a very reasonable amount compared to similar style restaurants. Be sure to make a reservation in advance, as the location itself is quite cozy. There were actually only about two people working when we went, taking on the role of host, server, and pretty much everything but the chef. They managed to achieve a flawless precision as they weaved in and out of each table, explaining the courses and the wines, and switching between several languages seamlessly. When you arrive, you are taken to your table and offered a choice of their traditional menu or the surprise "experience" menu (both 65€) plus an optional wine pairing add on (30 € more). The surprise menu is filled with gaiety, although I have no idea of everything that we ate (they do tell you each course but my memory is not nearly good enough to recall). We started with a crinkled nori chip with some sauces artfully dotted across it perched atop smooth white stones, then progressed into quite a few other plates with an array of textures and colors. I remember loving one in particular that featured fresh tuna and edible dust, with some avocado creme. As for some of the other more memorable items (in a very vague overview as the specific slowly flit away from my recall) a bright green Cannelloni with chicken and other meats and sauces, a bowl that looked like a volcano filled with creamy risotto and topped with fresh fish, as well as a palate cleanser with strawberry and kiwi foams alongside a tiny spoon containing foreign berry that altered your palate. Quite fun! For dessert there was a silken chocolate mouse inside a porcelain cacao bowl, topped with edible silver pebbles, raspberry, and other garnishes paired with a Crème brûlée-esque 1927 Alvear Pedro Ximenez Dulce Viejo. Overall it was a terrific meal, with avant-garde dishes. While I wouldn't eschew the more orthodox Spanish menus when your time in Barcelona is limited, Con Gracia will absolutely offer a delightful experience.

    Con Gracia for sure is one of the best restaurants I have been to in the last year. The place is pretty small, cute, and personal. The stuff is very kind and explains a lot about the dishes and their origin. The food itself is fantastic. We took a menu of seven courses and each of them was totally worthy. I want to especially point out the Iberian pork which was one of the best once I have ever tried and the melon ice cream that came with a little flower from Madagascar. The flower, which you were supposed to put for some seconds underneath your tongue, made your mouth feel very numb in the first moment but then let you taste the ice cream incredibly intense afterwards. The amount of food was very filling and it was even hard to finish the dessert. We took the selection of wine for every dish which was always very well selected and fitting the food. Concluding we definitely recommend you to visit Con Gracia if you have a special moment to celebrate or if you just want to spend a great evening.

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.

    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.

The service was friendly and quick, and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. We ordered a few snacks and drinks, all of which hit the spot. Everything was flavorful, nicely presented, and perfect for sharing. Even though it wasn't quite the dinner rush, there was a steady flow of people, which tells me it's a popular spot year-round, not just a backup when others are closed. Overall, La Pepita was a happy surprise on an August afternoon -- great atmosphere, good food and drinks, and the kind of easygoing charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. Would absolutely go back. 4.5 Stars

Somewhere in the middle is a 1-2 year period where parts of Spain's community was shut down because of COVID or restricted in one way or the other. We were in Spain during May-June of this year and witnessed various businesses that were no more or maybe still hanging on my a thread. Our recent experience at La Yaya Amelia seemed to suggest the latter. La Yaya Amelia was recommended by our Hotel (1882) and was an easy couple block walk. We made a reservation, but as it turned out we were the only customers during our time there. This seems more like a locals place and it's corner neighborhood location would be hard to attract tourists, unless it were some hot foodie destination. On a side note, the owner's cute little dog charmed my wife, the shelter volunteer. At the beginning, the dog was wandering around and Gayle wasn't sure if he/she had a person. I looked up and told her that we can't the dog back with us to the USA. Her answer (and this wasn't her first dog siting in Spain) was that she'd already done the research and she agreed that it would be almost impossible to do so. But she still stayed on the case until she confirmed that it was indeed the owner's dog. La Yaya Amelia may not be the Catalan version of the French Laundry, but it was a damn fine place to eat. We both ordered off the "specials" list, me choosing steak and Gayle opting for fish. Add wine, bread, homemade dessert, and expresso, we left full and happy. Our service was great, yet the guy running the place seemed a little worn out and sad, as we were the business so far in the evening. So, if anyone is reading this review right now and you're thinking of Lunch or Dinner in the Sagrada Familia area, what are you waiting for?
