    Stuffed chilis

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Steak with frites paired with their finest Whiskey

    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.

    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.

    Great treasure.. get here earlier have to have tapas on their patio in the square. Otherwise you need to wait for a table since tapas are not available in the restaurant seating area. Must have their potatoes special.

    La Mestressa is such a great vibe and one of the defining experiences from my trip to Barcelona!…read moreHere are a few highlights: 1. The neighborhood - I stayed at the AC Hotel Sants while visiting Barcelona. The Barcelona Sants train station was adjacent to the hotel, and the property was in a walkable neighborhood surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, and other businesses. There was also a deceptively nondescript alley right next to the hotel that I didn't explore right away. Turns out, that alley leads to a vibrant, hidden plaza (Plaça d'Osca) with restaurants and shops, where locals in the Sants neighborhood hang out. This is also where La Mestressa is located. 2. The food and drinks - I got dinner with two friends at La Mestressa one evening. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, a bottle of wine, and a wide selection of tapas, croquettes, and a couple main dishes. My personal favorites from the meal were the sangria, patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with sauce), octopus, and the salmon salad (not pictured). Each of those dishes were well-seasoned, had great textural contrast, and provided either familiar comfort (patatas bravas and octopus) or a completely new flavor experience (salmon salad). The sangria was light and refreshing. 3. The service - Our server was bilingual and provided satisfactory service. She was warm. The service was well-paced, and she attended to all of our needs as a group. 4. The ambience - As I previously mentioned, both Plaça d'Osca and La Mestressa were a whole vibe. If the terms "off the beaten path," "honeycomb hideout," "in the cut," or "rural retreat" mean anything to you, this area similarly provides a nice place to "retreat" and immerse yourself in a local neighborhood right in the heart of Spain's second largest city. It's the perfect place to drink wine and sangria and while away your evening. :)

We ate other places, but none of them compare. Not the market, none of the other small tapas places we tried. It's as if the others aren't even trying.

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.

    My experience at Terra d'Escudella was a little confusing…read more But it was kind of my problem because I could not speak or understand Spanish... It was quite challenging. We were hungry and it was late. After trying to drop by a few places in the area and nothing really open for business, we decided to give Terra d'Escudella a try based on the 4 star rating on my Yelp App. Place was busy, which was a good sign!

We'd thus far seen a lot of touristy areas of Barcelona, so getting to feel a bit like an insider was such a treat here! My Spanish is conversational, so I could mostly get through the menu (after asking for the Spanish one, rather than Catalan where I definitely struggle), but I would recommend coming here with a dictionary or translation app if you're English-only. I thought the service was excellent, our waitress was very understanding and patient with my language mistakes and chatted easily with us about different menu options. We ended up getting a sandwich, the meatballs, and a couple of other things to share, as well as a bottle of wine. We spent the better part of an evening snacking and chatting away, surrounded by boisterous laughter and conversation of locals who clearly adore this spot.

They said the food was delicious and it was very close to our hotel near the Place d'Espanya, so we gave it a try. Absolutely awesome!

The whole dish was flavorful and satisfied like a warm blanket on a freezing night! The young lady waitperson was so friendly and we laughed as we tried to communicate with each other (she with no English and me with no Spanish). After we were stuffed to the gills, she brought us a complimentary plate of 4 pieces of olive oil cake and two glasses of a very tart brightly colored yellow liqueur that my friend said had a definite kick. When I told our waitperson that I don't drink alcohol, she brought me a glass of the same fruity base liquid sans the alcohol, which I found to be very tart and very pleasing on the palate! When I finished it, the young lady offered me more, but there was no way for me to fit anything else into my completely full satisfied belly! This place might look touristy with the menu posted at the door and its plastic covered menu inside, but the food and staff are wonderful. Don't let your prejudices keep you from enoying the amazing place. Might be a bit pricier, too, since it's close to the plaza and hotels, but it's worth it! The charm of this restaurant was a highlight of our day; made for a wonderful end of a very active day of sightseeing in Barcelona!
