Food. Service. Ambiance. Yes. Yes. Yes…read more The first night we went without a reservation but they managed to accommodate us in a lovely private room. That was a great start to a delicious meal that everyone enjoyed. I wish I could have tried all the appetizers. In hindsight, this might be the way to go! The food and service were so on point that our group went back a second time (with a reservation) in our four days in Barcelona. This time we ordered the epic Chocolate Bonsai dessert to cap the meal. It had a satisfying amount of chocolate with textures and tastes that leave you wanting more. I shared this dessert... and wish I didn't The noise level was high but otherwise this one scores high on every aspect of the dining experience!

My last visit was in 2022, but as of 2024, they've still got it!…read more Excellent food and service with classic dishes as well as many more adventurous options. Everything is beautifully presented and they handled our large group with ease. Definitely make a reservation, especially if you've got a large group. They may not have a Michelin star, but they're as good as or better than any place I've been that has one. If you're in the main part of Barcelona, it can be a trek out here (it is SO worth it), but if you're staying by the convention center and its nearby shopping mall, it is an easy walk and I haven't found anything else in the area that comes close.

Very good tapas! We were starving so none of the tapas survived the picture taking phase lol, we…read moreordered a pita and hummus which was unfortunately too hard to finish, I recently had a surgery on my teeth so I'll attribute it to that, we got the pollo tacos and the meat was delicious but the portion of guac was probably too small, croquettes were also very good. Service was good as well, waiters were very on top of all of their guests, the ambiance was dimly lit which only aided in our sangria pitcher finishing process. maybe im picky with my 5 stars but the food just couldve been a bit better.

One sip and I had to have more…read more.. I was traveling solo in Barcelona and desperate for some tasty bites. After getting disappointed by several horrid meals, I googled tapas and this place came up with great reviews. It's tucked away from the maddening crowd - even better. The Sangria is delicious! I went from a glass to a pint in the blink of an eye. The food, I tried a number of dishes BUT the STAR of the show are the Fried Anchovies with garlic and herbs...I came back two nights in a row just for this dish. They are crispy, flavorful and they are generous with the portion. My second visit (the very next evening) I ordered one of their home made desserts - Pistachio Tiramisu. If you are flying solo, with a few friends or a friend, be sure to visit this tiny slice of heaven.
