    Small portion of scrambled eggs with plain toast
    Alana B.

    The food here was fine but definitely not on par with what other reviewers said. We ordered the açaí bowl that had all of the fruit on bottom, some semi-cold smoothie like thing on top with a handful of plain cereal. It was good but nothing near an actual açaí bowl and the presentation lacked. I ordered the scrambled eggs with ham, spinach, and cheese which was good overall, but nothing to write home about. They were simply eggs with some dry toast (needed that tomato). Lastly, the mini chocolate croissant was like something you'd get anywhere else. The only thing that stood out was the matcha orange juice that was very yummy - some sweet and sour with the cut of the matcha. Very different tasting but proved to be the best part of our meal. Overall, this place was "eh". I was expecting much more based on previous reviews but found myself wishing I had only ordered the juice and cafe.

    Bikini sandwich with spinach added

    Hänsel is this cute little cafe on the streets of Barcelona, serving up some great essential sandwiches, pastries, pasta, juices, and coffee. My friends and I stopped by Hänsel on the last morning of our stay in Barcelona and it was a great experience all around. I got the Bikini sandwich (a ham and melted cheese sandwich) and asked if I was able to add some spinach. While they usually don't include spinach in the sandwich, they said they can add it for me with no extra charge! Also ordered an Americano, which came in a cute espresso mug and was great. Service wise, our waiter was fantastic. He could tell that we were tourists (obviously, from our huge travel backpacks) and recommended several menu items for us. The food came out quick and all the sandwiches were warm and toasty. I'd recommend Hänsel to anyone looking for a high quality, yet affordable and quick place to eat for breakfast/lunch/brunch! It's setup like your typical cafe, with many small tables and several wall outlets (I think), so it's definitely a relaxing environment away from the bustling city streets.

    French pastries are done in perfection. The pastries with filo dough are crunchy and very tasty. We tried the 4 cheese Quiche, was so good that melts in your mouth. The "cafe con leche" is well done. If you like sweet orange juice this is the place...exquisito!!! The owner was very patient explaining the different pastries and food options and the server was very attentive. The ambience is very inviting, with a clear wood decore, clean and nice.

    I believe we were helped by the owner. Very kind and accommodating. Okay... the eggs were superb. Scrambled eggs with cheese, mushrooms and ham. I asked my wife is this what fresh eggs taste like? If it is, I want fresh eggs every morning. My first espresso in Spain. More to come.

    A selection of their pastries

    "Hansel...he's so hot right now." ...and that's the first thing that came to mind when coming across this place. Mugatu reference aside, it's a great place to take a break after strolling Passeig De Gracia. Staff is super welcoming, which is much more than I can say for several other shops and cafes in the area. They make all that juices and the two that we tried (kiwi melon and mango pear orange) were refreshing, delicious and thick (i.e. not watered down). Spent under 20 Euro for a breakfast sandwich, an egg scramble, a croissant and two juices.

    Pan de coca
    Justin M.

    I came across this cafe while looking for a different one. I'm glad I did. I finally got to have some pan de coca. It was sweet and delicious. Light enough to to perfectly with my cafe con leche. I will probably try something else next time I'm here. I've heard the food is great. In the meantime, though, I'm satisfied. I wanted to give this place 5 stars on service alone. The people here are so friendly! I really like the atmosphere and there were plenty of people when I went (around 6:30 on a Thursday.) I will definitely be back and I can't wait to try their actual menu. Even still, for a coffee and a pastry this place is swell.

    The selections are amazing
    Chris R.

    Came here for breakfast with a group of 7... everyone loved their food and ordered more. Juices and coffee taste amazing! They have Mallorcas here!! I ordered a Mallorca with ham and cheese which surprised the server. "Never have I ever heard this order", he even named it after me "The Chris" none the less it was amazing and tasted like the Mallorcas I had in Puerto Rico. I plan to come here again since I'm here for a week... order "The Chris" you won't be disappointed

    Cava
    Norma P.

    Cava- crisp and light. We were seated promptly. It was was very busy due to dia de los libros and today san Jordy another Unesco world recognized. Any way it was very busy and crowded in the city. Sellers of roses all over the streets. We ducked into this place and it was great bustling with activity but everyone was pleasant. They brought out little toasted bread. We ordered cold quinoa salad with fresh tomatoes and avocado. Very good not heavy at all! 2nd entree was clam with spaghetti very delicate flavor. It was hot and very good. A slight lemon flavor with spices. Once again very light. My only complaint was how long it took to get our check and pay. Which seems to be the case just about anywhere we go in Spain. Hence the 4 stars. Don't they know we are tourists and have a limited time?! ;-)

    Very clean and simple!! Menu for lunch was kinda limited but they have great focaccia and salads! Light food with small portions which is healthy and doesn't leave you over stuffed!

    Really good cappuccino. Clean place, good service.

This was our first time visiting Barcelona and this restaurant with our friends for dinner. We passed by and liked the posted menu in English. The place was packed with patrons for dinner, therefore we assumed this was a good local place for us to stop for dinner. Despite that the place was packed with customers we scored a table for four in the rear of the restaurant. I started with and enjoyed my portal (blanco Joven), which is a dry garnacha blanca 90% sauvignon Blanc and Viognier for 4 Euros. I enjoyed my patatas pulled pork bravas potatoes with carnitas, poutine sauce and chilli sour cream for 12 Euros. My friend also enjoyed his patatas pulled pork bravas potatoes. We all enjoyed our tapas. I also ended my dinner with a Cerv Jarra cervezas draft beer for 4.90 Euros. My friend also enjoyed the same cervezas draft beer. My total bill for the four of us was 81.30 Euros or USA $94.44 based on the current exchange rate. Our server Contado, who also spoke English, served us very well. After we visited I found one other nearby Alsur Cafes, which may or may not be affiliated with this Alsur Cafe restaurant. We agreed we will return here again. More to come regarding tomorrow's tour of the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell.

Our server, Amaya, was funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took great care of us, and every single recommendation he made was delicious. I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special.

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside. The interior is a bit on the smaller side, but it's quite bright with a lot of natural sunlight inside. For the food, I decided to get squid, codfish with honey allioli, and iberian ham montaditos. While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!

Caravelle is quaint and modern, and the service is definitely on the more lax side. Note: smaller parties may be seated at the communal table, and this place stays busy! Be prepared for a bit of a wait. I started with a café con leche, and although I'm not usually a sweets-for-breakfast kinda person, the croffle looked too enticing online to pass up. Being a huge egg aficionado, I also ordered a side of eggs à la carte. My coffee arrived quickly, but after waiting 30 minutes, I noticed that guests who had arrived after me were already enjoying their meals... When I checked in with the waiter, it turned out my order hadn't gone through at all. I had to reorder, and while waiting, I asked for another café con leche since I was long overdue for a refill. Unfortunately, that second coffee never came--but on the bright side, my meal eventually did. The croffle was freaking divine. Crispy/flakey on the outside, and soft inside. The cream was sweet, but not overpowering, and the tart of the berries balanced out the meal. As I was getting ready to check out, the waiter asked if I had ever received my second café con leche. Embarrassed for them, I admitted that I hadn't... Realizing they'd made ANOTHER mistake, he apologized profusely and quickly asked the barista to make me one to go. To compensate for my time and patience, he generously comped my entire meal, leaving me to pay only for the initial coffee (2.50 euros). Despite the service hiccups, the food was incredible--truly one of my favorite breakfasts in Spain.
