    I'm disappointed in you, Yelp. El Foro is an a.m.a.z.i.n.g. trip to Meatsville on a beef bullet train. And Yelp only deigns to give it 3.5 stars? For shame. I strolled up on a Tuesday night and sat outside, enjoying the beatiful Barcelona weather. They have an awesome bottle of Tempranillo (Briego Crianza) on the menu. Have you never had Termpranillo? It's an amazing Spanish red. Shut up and get it. At El Foro, you will find magical steak from the rubia gallega - a breed of cows found in a Galicia. I've never seen this on a menu in the U.S. And as I believe I gain the power of all the animals I consume, I was anxious to add the power of a new breed of cow. *Want to read more about what makes the rubia gallega different? https://www.theguardian.com/global/2015/oct/11/raising-the-steaks-meet-the-elderly-spanish-cows-destined-for-dinner-plates The waitress recommended I get it "poco hecho," so it came nearly rare. I'm usually a medium rare guy, but when I saw the look on the server's face, I demured. I would not insult the rubia gallega with additional fire. I sipped my Tempranaillo and looked out on the beautiful Barcelona night. After a brief wait, the picaña de rubia gallega arrived at my table. Every bite was perfection. Now, I've seen some Yelpers complain that their pizza wasn't good here, but those people should punch themselves in the no-no zone for even getting pizza at a kickass steak joint. Another complained that he was charged for bread. That happens all over Europe. Don't hate the continent for its peculiarities. If you don't want to pay a cover charge, get your meal to go. My total bill to sit outside, eat excellent bread and oil, power through half a bottle of awesome wine, and absorb the meat power of a new cow flavor was just 45,30€. If this were in the U.S., I'd be paying at least $70 for the privilege before tip. So if you want pizza, go to a flippin' pizzeria. If you don't want to be charged for bread, get your meal to go. But if you want an incredible steak and great wine, El Foro will hit the spot.

    59 day dry aged steak

    I can honestly say, that was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The value for money was off of the chart along with the fact that the wine we bought was divine. The service was intensive but not over bearing, he also was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the menu, in recommending the steak and wine. We ordered a 1000 grams of the 50 day dry aged steak, and he let us be apart of the preparation every step of the way. From the slab to cutting to making sure the marbling was to our liking.

    This was my favorite place to have steak and a wonderful atmosphere in Barcelona. I'm sad to say. They have closed:(

    While I was in Barcelona, I knew that I wanted to try out good paella somewhere while I was in…read moreSpain. A friend recommended El Glop to me since they enjoyed it a lot, so I decided to check it out since it wasn't too far from where I was. I decided to come for lunch, and I arrived pretty soon after they opened so I was able to be seated right away. The interior is nice and homey, with quite a few tables inside. I decided to get the seafood paella since that's what my friend recommended. I have to say that this is probably one of the best paella I've had, the flavors were great and the texture was on-point. I finished one whole paella on my own, which I was surprised by since I thought that I would have leftovers at least. The seafood was also tasty, so overall I was very impressed. Would highly recommend checking this place out for paella, I greatly enjoyed mine!

    This place was listed as a good place to eat in Barcelona, but I wouldn't come back. We got some of…read moretheir meat dishes and things were dry. The one good dish we had was their black rice paella, which had a good amount of seafood and wasn't too salty like other paellas we have had. We got the sangria as well, it was good! We did find a piece of plastic wrapper in the jug and told the waiter who replaced it. A bit disappointed, but if you go get the black rice paella! They have indoor and outdoor seating.
