This restaurant was close to our Airbnb, so we decided to try it because we didn't feel like hopping back on the metro to find a place to eat. What a gem! The staff was welcoming and friendly, the service was perfect, and our waiter suggested excellent items from the menu. The first night we enjoyed the tuna, the faux risotto (orzo in a cream sauce with mushrooms), and rigatoni. Everything was so good we decided to eat here again the night before leaving Barcelona. When we came back the second night we found everything even more delicious! Our daughter enjoyed the chicken broth starter with slow cooked egg and quinoa, and we ordered the harbor market fish and the risotto again because it was so good. We also had the steak and potatoes which was world class. I will be thinking about the mushroom orzo "risotto" for a long time, and wouldn't hesitate to come back. A fantastic meal overall. read more

I was told to come here, and so I did. And I'm glad. I arrived at 8pm and was sat at a bar table. I think that they didn't offer me a regular dinner table because they thought I either was not eating dinner (so early), or because I'm not a local. It's a shame, because I was here to eat and not scared of spending money. Stereotypes, am I right? Anyway, I tried a number of items and had some wonderful wines. The service was fine. My bill was €70 for one person, but I stuffed my face. I would go back and try other items for sure. read more

Stumbled on the little restaurant located in one of the many squares in Barcelona. We saw a number of people dining there and decided to try. We went around 2pm approximately, so the only menu available was the tapas. Although there were 6 adults in our party, they were only able to seat us at a outdoor table that only accommodated 4, needless to say, we were cramped but we enjoyed the view. The service was extremely slow but the food made up for the snail pace. The food appears to be cooked in small batches to order as it took almost 20mins to get each plate. The food, however, was delicious! The patatas bravas, the calamari, the chicken strips, the toast...all were well flavored and brought excitement to my palate. I was too famished to take pics. We were extremely hungry so the wait felt like eternity but if you aren't starving and not in a rush, I would recommend this place. read more

Very friendly cafe. The food was very tasty. Nice ambience. We really enjoyed our dinner after a long day of visiting Barcelona. The hostess was friendly and spoke English well enough to make us feel comfortable. Try the Patatas Gravas. The best in Barcelona. read more

Cute tapas bar. If you want to go inside to eat, they're more upscale by the way people are dressed and based off of how many groups came in through reservations I can see that this place is pretty popular. I was mostly snacking in there and grabbing drinks with a couple of new friends I made. I like how they're open into AM. read more

This place is fantastic! I was trying to get an outdoor seat at any one of the cafes in this plaza. Fate opened up a table at this cafe and I was the fortunate recipient. I arrived after the FCB Barca game and they only had cold tapas, fries and toasted/melted cheese tapas. Each was fantastic. The melted, smoked scamorza blew my mind. This cafe is located in a neighborhood plaza with children & families doing their thing. If you are seeking authentic , local atmosphere, this is the place. read more

We had a lovely table out in the square, awesome view and experience Our waiter was attentive, and refilled our glass quickly! When it came to ordering , he assisted us with some recommendations! Each dish was delicious, price point was acceptable. read more

I requested gluten free options. The chef explained that the majority of the food did not contain gluten and there was no cross contamination. After trying few starters and main course , I got sick. So either there was cross contamination or gluten in any of their ingredients. Very small selection in their menu. The chef was also pretty rude and not friendly at all. Their staff did not have knowledge about gluten free. My mom got also sick so I just can say that I cannot recommend this place at all. We shared the rice. The rest of the party did not have any problem Very pricy and very small portions. You can find better restaurants even cheaper. It is a place that I will not recommend. read more

A most excellent dining experience! We checked on Yelp for restaurants near the Barcelona Hilton and Fragments Café popped up. It rated very well so we decided to give it a try. It is a very short walk from the Hilton. When we arrived, we found a very busy and hectic restaurant with lots of people around. We should have called for a reservation, nevertheless, we were able to be seated very quickly. The staff was very friendly and helpful despite some language barriers. The food was most excellent with a wide choice of entrees and tapas. We settled on the linguine and "faux" risotto, both of which were most amazing. We will plan on visiting again during our Barcelona vacation. read more

This was small hectic restaurant was a short walk from our hotel in a alley just past a hidden square. Ideal location. We didn't make a reservation we just walked up. They had outdoor seating in the back not on the sidewalk. They run the restaurant with a classy feel even people are dressed casually. It's quite professional and efficient. Got a small table with a shared bench where we could watch the kitchen. Ordered apps and entrees and just like my fellow yelpers said...it was all artfully presented and deliciously exciting to the palate. Would go back in a heartbeat. Inventive creations with simple techniques served with just perfect portion sizes. Thoroughly enjoyed our last dinner in Barcelona. read more

This place was wonderful.we went here after a futbol game (decent walk). We wanted to have a bunch of tapas and this place hit the spot. The best item on the menu is the false risotto for sure. Everything was great but he false risotto was legit. It has mushrooms and truffle oil. We had a few beers and some wine. The location is beautiful, in a courtyard with plenty of outdoor seating in the front and out door seating in the back! read more

This is the BEST meal I had in Barcelona! The steamed mussels were so flavorful with a citrus base. The steak with frites was delicious but, it was the mushroom faux risotto with shaved truffles on top that was so delicious that I savored every bite! Also, the tiramisu was pretty incredible too! This gem was recommended by a friend and I'm going to do the same to my friends traveling to Barcelona. Seek this location...there's delicious food inside. read more

Kavita nailed this place--it's quite the opposite of touristy. Expect no English on the menu. Expect to have a hard time communicating with the staff in English. Also expect to have amazing, unique food made with an intention to craft. We ordered something along the lines of 'mixed tapas' for our group of 5. Their baby calamari stew had really tender calimari, but the prize winner for me was the mushroom risotto--creamy with a hint of truffles in the aftertaste. Their burrata was amazing in a way I can't put my finger on. Maybe it was really fresh? Maybe the cheesemaker had some secret technique? I don't know, but it was amazing. Their panna cotta was the kind of dish that makes the table go quiet to eat. read more

We stumbled upon Fragments on our first night in Barcelona. If you are looking for the type of service you get at a chain in the US, them you will be disappointed. But if you are looking for an authentic experience, this place is a must. I had a direct view of the kitchen, & watching the head chef run the show. We had the creamy prawn rice & smoked barruta salad. It was by far the best meal we have ever had, & it only cost 40 Euros, including our wine. read more

We stayed at the Hilton nearby and they recommended this place. When we got there we learned that to eat here people would book 2 days in advance. We didn't have a reservation so we waited for about an hour and a half. It was totally worth the wait and it worth it as the food was excellent! The waiters are very friendly and attending our inexperience of choices. If you're in Les Corts or on the Av. Diagonal we definitely recommend coming here, it was a short walk and we got some great food! Pour l'anniversaire de notre ami, nous sommes allés à ce restaurant "Fragments" qui est très sympathique. L'endroit est magnifique, nous y trouvons de la joie et de la bonne humeur. De plus la nourriture est très bonne et les personnels sont accueillants.

We had the most amazing muscles and the most amazing gnocch in cream saucei!!! My husband at all the juice from his muscles like it was soup until I asked for some bread. Then he weird his bowl clean. I also cleaned my gnocchi bowl of all the cream sauce. Dessert was black cherry crumble for him and Belgium dark chocolate cake for me. Both were more delicious than we could have hoped for. We will be back again before our trip to Barcelona is over. read more

Oily oily oily. This place has cold tapas until 8:30, and they're all doused in oil. It's packed and I am not entirely sure why. Staff doesn't speak English but they do have an English menu. read more

Short walk from Hilton. Great atmosphere in the garden. Food great service very nice. Lovely music and good wine

Amazing place. Great ambience. Food was excellent and the service couldn't be any better. I had the Ham croquettes and the beef steak. There was no wifi, however you could reach and use the city's free internet from inside the Café. The best part was the staff, they made me feel at home. read more

I am not a pork person and had it up to here (indicates eyeballs) with all the ham on offer in Barcelona. Fragments was a breath of fresh air for variety. Sure, they had every kind of dried heart disease sausage but they also had fish and things not named pig. Excellent sea bass. Excellent, like on its own, separate from the thrill of finding it there. Tuna tartare- good, rendered excellent by libations billed as 'bio dynamic'. Ok. Very good desserts- came twice and left satisfied both times. Another time we can talk about being brown and doing Barcelona and Spain but Fragments was a bright spot for the duration. read more

Delightful in every way. Service cool at first but warmed up later. Carpaccio of zucchini, beef, grilled beef, all good. Try "The Cousins" Priorat red wine. Chocolate tort unique due to orange cubes and salt. read more

Great neighborhood spot. Outside and inside seating. We had tapas, cava, and dessert. All dishes were great. Definitely a nice cozy late night stop. Don't go if you are in a rush or want to inhale large amount of foods at once. This is definitely a savor the moment no rush type of place. Nothing fancy but definitely worth the stop. Order the fresh mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes over arugula tapas. You will not regret it! A nice local man told me that bravas is the specialty there. That was good too! They also have a menu in English is needed. read more

Honestly just come here for the mushroom risotto. I can die happy. Everything here is extremely good, but that risotto wooooooo boy.

For the first time ever.... I've raised my voice and told the chef he was "Una molt mala cuinera` a very bad chef! Who makes a good piece of meat/beef and cut it into 8 pieces and grilling them beyond recognition. The bill was paid so they could not use that excuse. read more

If you want to experience non-touristy Barcelona, this is (one of many) place(s) to go. Chances are you'll be in the area shopping at L'Illa, and if you follow the signs for Placa Concordia, you can't miss it. The menu is comparable to those of other bars/restaurants in the area, but what sealed the evening for me is the ambiance of the area - from the young kids playing gleefully in the square while their parents caught up on gossip, to the collegians debating something in a newspaper, to the couples enjoying their time together - all under the sunny (and later starry) Barcelona sky. Forget La Rambla and make your way over here (closest Metro is Maria Cristina). read more

Amazing tapas. Mostly locals,which I prefer. outstanding service from Marco. Try the crispy chicken.

There's always a line but the waits not usually too long. The mushroom & truffle risotto is amazing!! Overall, reasonably priced, good tasting food :) read more

Exactly what we were looking for-good food, friendly, welcoming staff and located on a quaint, picturesque square. After checking into the Hilton after a long, international flight, we were looking for something close by but authentic and we found it at Fragments. read more

We had dinner this evening after finding the restaurant on Yelp. The food was by far the best meal of our two week vacation in Spain. We had the anti pasta which was fresh and very tasty. We had Tuna and fish of the day - excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic food. Great ambience within walking distance from the Hilton. A lot of locals. Best food I have in 3 years.

Close to the Hilton. Opens at 8:30 for dinner. 4 of us there all ordered different entries & had mixed feeling about the food. Duck was poor, sea bass ok, clams & mussels ok too. Best thing was the beef burger. All in all an easy choice but if you have time you can do better. read more

Actually still in the restaurant waiting for others to polish off the shared desserts. Wanted to write this while the food is fresh in my mind. This place is fantastic! Very close to the Hilton (Av. Diagonal) on a Sunday after our Med cruise before our flight home tomorrow. In hindsight we should have gotten the hotel concierge to make a reservation, but the wait wasn't too bad. Sat inside for the regular menu, as tapas are only served outside. We shared multiple dishes between 5 people. They had a razor clam special that was very tasty, but the broken burrata salad was so much creamy goodness, we ordered another one. The mushroom and black truffle faux risotto ("faux" because it's actually orzo pasta instead of rice) was simply delicious - and they didn't skimp on the shaved truffle. The tuna was outstanding as well, but the calamari with house sauce was the best one I've had in my life. I don't know what makes it different from the run of the mill fried calamari we've all had a million times, but it absolutely is. The only dish that was just meh was the Salmorjo cold soup, but it was a unique, interesting dish. For dessert we got the tarta tatin, tiramisu, and panna cotta. All were good, but the tiramisu was special. With six beers, two waters, and one hot tea, it was about thirty euro per person. read more

Perfect in every way. Laid back, friendly, great food and wine, and most of all, accepting of our kid-toting, terrible Spanish speaking ways

Great food for really good prices. It is a small place so try making reservations. They also don't start dinner service until 8:30 pm, but definitely a place worth trying! read more

If you are in the mood for an excellent meal and service look no farther. Luckily this place was in walking distance from the place we were staying. The menu offers tapas and large entrees typical of the Catalonia area meaning great calamari dishes, tapas, and stews. We ordered a sampler of tapas to be able to try them all. The sampler came out with: anchovies soaked in olive oil, queso cubes marinated in the chili infused olive oil, cheese stuffed roasted red pepper, a ham croquette, fresh raw salmon in a balsamic sauce and a dollop of cheese sauce. Finally a mixture of salmon and a pimento spread to for bread. The sampler was a huge hit for our table and a few of our favorites were the anchovies, and both salmons dishes. For our entrees we ordered both stews offered on the menu the baby calamari stew and the roasted lamb stew. Both are heavier meals and can easily be shared between two people. The meal was a delicious filling success. I would go back. The location is nicely located in a nice neighborhood that is next to an open courtyard. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating offered both in front and behind the establishment. The outdoor seating out back I would say is more romantic and intimate on those warmer nights for those looking for a nice spot for a date night on a warm evening. read more

Nice ambience and location, but the food is average at best. Not sure why the other reviews are so great, but I say it has rather little to do with the food and everything to do with the exclusive feel of the place and the quaint neiborhood. read more

Wow, by far the best meal I had in Barcelona. The menu had a number of vegetarian options, and every dish we ordered was great. Note that they have a small kitchen, so you may wait a while for your food. read more
