For the price, the meal wasn't bad 14.95 euros for a prix fix menu. Hubs had the tuna, friend had the chicken and I had the beef steak. All the dishes were a bit salty except the beef steak. Enjoyed the cream brûlée for dessert which had a hint of lemon to it. It does seem like a lot of locals come to eat here tho so it doesn't seem too touristy. Don't think I'd come back if I was in the area but it was a decent place to have a meal.

Sangria was on point and the dessert truffles were awesome. Service was great and even the waiter chased me down to hand me the souvenirs.

Our server was missing for most of the dinner and we constantly had to ask other staff for help. We even had to cancel a few drinks because they were taking so long to come out.

I liked that they provided a tablet with the menu but also a QR code to the WiFi and a QR code to the menu so you could browse however worked best for you. We got tomato bruschetta as an appetizer, cava for drinks, and a delicious vegetable paella for dinner. It was a lovely meal. We booked 7 pm so it was quiet when we arrived and we were able to choose the table we wanted but by the time we left the restaurant was full and bustling but still comfortable and inviting. I'd definitely come back and I'd definitely recommend it to others!

Fantastic restaurant in Barcelona- the food is great as is the service…read more Had various appetizers- their toast with tomato is killer- warm, crispy, chewy, salty. They gave us a complimentary mango/apple/cucumber roll to try and it was a nice surprise- flavorful and fresh! The jamon was good, per usual. Tried the crispy suckling pig for the main- pretty good. Some parts may have been a tad overcooked, but overall it was very tender and had good flavor. Dessert was the chocolate three ways- talk about sweet and rich. It hit the spot! Will return the next time I come to Barcelona! Note: There's two locations, so if you make reservations, make sure you know which one you booked (granted, they're about half a block away from each other, so even if you get it mixed up, its just a few steps away)

Decent food, good service, and chill bar-like ambiance…read more We also got the Iberico meat sampler and to be quite honest, just stick to the Jamón Ibérico. Paella was large and great but the meat texture was dry and chalky (not the seafood but the pork meat) contradicted the moist and chewiness of the rice and the seafood - we also found some bone fragments in the meat.

Sweet goat cheese: Excellent! A hunk of tasty goat cheese with a sweet sauce served over greens. A must have! Patatas bravas: Very good! Cooked perfectly and the garlic aioli and tomato sauce really brought it home. "Franky" fried chicken: Well fried slices of chicken. Honestly this one is odd since there is no other flavors besides a dipping sauce. It tastes good but isn't interesting or unique. Lemonade: Very refreshing.

Happy Pollito: 8/10 little salty but I love how the avocado balances the strong chicken flavors. Skirt steak with Serrano peppers: 8.5/10 solid dish!

Selena hamburger 8.7/10 really cool flavors (blueberry jam, goat cheese, and avocado) Pork ribs 8/10 kind of salty but really well done also very popular at the table Coco Chanel Sun Chanel: 10/10 so refreshing in a hot summer day!!! Cheesecake no muy tradicional 7/10! Yummy I love this deconstructed strawberry cheesecake And its textures and harmony. I got to meet one of the founders, Sheila, who briefly told her story do how she started this restaurant and actually some of the dishes are named after her daughters!! Also the service is amazing and it complements the theme of the restaurant which is love, Taking life easy, And sharing. Please try this place!! You won't regret it. It's affordable as well.

Service was a bit slow but friendly. It was a hot day so there were gnats. And there were kids outside who kept chasing birds. Those were only annoyances :) I enjoyed the gazpacho and chicken croquettes. My friend got fried fish which came with potatoes. We shared a liter of sangria. Would recommend!

Visiting Spain walking toward the Market after our visit to Barcelona Cathedral, we stumbled upon…read morethis busy restaurant. Decided to give it a try and so glad we did. Some outside seating although we sat inside. There is a door to the market but today, Wednesday, the Market is closed (5:30 PM). Prompt service upon entering, just a table for two. Don't be in a hurry, very typical of other countries, in my opinion, they will get to you when they get to you. No worries!! Waters and two Cava Sangrias (8 euros each) perfect. The Sangrias were delightful with tons of fresh fruit and ice! Yummy. We shared a Meatball with Porcini appetizer and the Grilled fresh Vegetables. Both so very good and so very fresh. Highly recommend the grilled vegetables. The Meatball was plenty cut in half fed both of us. Place was very enjoyable, I recommend giving them a try. Prices were better than the restaurants near the Barcelona Cathedral.

After doing a self guided tour around the Gothic Quarter and Barcelona Cathedral in morning, it was…read moretime for a sit down lunch. Wanted to end up at the Mercat de Santa Caterina, and this place is attached to it. I was a little skeptical since it wasn't very crowded, but it is also fairly large. My aching feet said trust it, and it was a very solid choice to fill up the tank and recharge the batteries before heading off to the Picasso Museum. Iberian Pork Ribs with Pico de Gallo - this was the standout dish we ordered. Spain knows how to do pork. These ribs are so tender, the meat just slid off off the bone, which makes placing it on the tortillas easy. Topped with pico de gallo and a red wine reduction, these made some tasty tacos. Highly recommended. Rigatoni with Truffle and Parmesan - more buttery than creamy, if you need an Italian fix, this is a good idea. Pan Fried Sardines with a side of Catalan Tomato Bread - I can't remember if I ordered the tomato bread separately, but I used it to put the sardines on for sure and that was a winning combination. Had to remove the heads and I fought with filleting them a little, although the bones are soft and can be eaten. Fresh Sardines and Anchovies in Europe are way different than the US, and should be ordered when traveling. Shrimp and Rice - I made an assumption that this would be Spanish, and was surprised that it was an Asian Stir Fry. It was ok, but I was expecting some kind of paella. Skip it. Cheesecake - While waiting for the food we were staring at this cheesecake with a beautiful Basque burnt top to it. Turned out to be a hybrid, with more of a NY style texture. Not sure why they hid that great top with berry sauce when plating it, but it was still tasty.
