We came to the point in the night where we were done tapa hunting and wanted to have our final meal of the night. I was feeling carnivorous and the waiter recommend the solomillo beef cut which came with patatas. Wow! What a nice cut of beef, medium is the way to go, so tender and moist with amazing flavor. The patatas (potato wedges) pair this dish very well. It's a good hardy piece of meat. If you've been tapa hopping it's good to share or if your haven't eaten and hungry than you can have it alone. I would recommend this place with no hesitation.

While passing through Barcelona on our way to the south of Spain, we decided to stay for a night…read moreand have ourselves a memorable dinner. We decided to visit Llamber a tapas restaurant on the outskirt of Park de la Ciutadella. The restaurant has a light and airy ambiance, the tables are decently spaced for a more private conversation. We then started with a bottle of Spanish Rosé together with some tapas to share. We had the patitas, black pearl oyster served with rock salt and mignonette and the chef's take on a Spanish bao bun. We found the pork belly flavorful and crispy and blended well with the bun, in hindsight we should have ordered one for each. For our main entree, I ordered paella with seared tuna while my partner chose Entrocôte served with shishito peppers and fries. We found all the dishes simply epicurean and the waiters took time to describe everything on the menu. It was well plated and the dishes came in a timely fashion and everything went well with the wine choice. We felt that we were looked after throughout the stages of the dinner. With great customer service and quality of food, this place is recommended whenever you are visiting the beautiful city of Barcelona.

I absolutely LOVED Llamber…read more We stopped by this restaurant mid-afternoon for a quick bite . . . and a few quick drinks, and were very satisfied with the food, cocktails, and service. Since we had dinner plans for later in the evening, we went with a couple of tapas and gin-based cocktails. Para comer, we had the croquetes, tartar de remolatxa, bunyols de bacallà, and everything was pretty awesome. If I had to order our dishes from the best to good, it would go the bunyols, tartar, and the croquetes. Overall, the service was pretty good. One weird part of our experience: the restaurant had outdoor seating, but we were told that all of the tables were reserved so we had to eat indoors. That was not a problem. My concern was that in the entire time that we were dining (about an hour or so), we did not see a single person use any of the tables.

From the outside, it looks ordinary like the restaurants you'd see in any Spanish town/city appealing to British tourists and I certainly second chanced walking inside, but if you don't judge a book by its cover, you're certainly in for a treat. The staff seemed friendly and were able to speak in English to offer me assurance regarding my allergies and explain the QR code menu, I ended up going for the Chicken and Chorizo paella. The food arrived in good time, I understand paella can be time-consuming and difficult to make, so there was a little wait, but it was very reasonable. The paella was delicious, it was served in a huge black pan, the rice was cooked perfectly and had great flavours, and the meat was also tasty, with generous amounts of chicken and chorizo. The portion size as a whole was very good, I ordered it just for one, and it certainly would have been enough for two people to share if you were ordering some tapas dishes too. I also liked being able to just order one portion of paella for one person, back home in the UK and even elsewhere around Barcelona, there are often limits that 2/3 of diners must order it to make it worthwhile. The value was pretty good as well, it was one of my best value meals during my August 2024 trip to Barcelona. 4*

We arrived shortly after opening and there were a few non reserved tables so we promptly snagged a table in the back. The space is small but charming. I would highly recommend making reservations because you do not want to miss this experience. We ordered several dishes and as each one was brought to the table it was evident from plating and scent alone that we were going to be satisfied. Satisfied is not generally what I strive for when dining out on vacation. I want to be transported to the culture and flavor profiles through food. Dinner here was incredible from the attentive but non pretentious service to the sheer quality and preparation of the food. A great date night spot while visiting Barcelona! They prepare your steak how you ask for it and serve it by portions of 100grams. You order the weight you want. Yes, it was very nice to meat you we also ordered the stuffed potato, gnocci, fried provolone and croquette. All solid choices and would absolutely order again.

Felice had a table for us on their "back patio", which is actually a very small back room with a greenhouse roof. It's right near the restroom, so unfortunately it smelled a little of whatever bathroom cleaner they use, but we were hungry and the staff was nice and we were determined to stay. We started with a pitcher of sangria, which oddly enough was chock full of bananas, no other fruit. It was too sweet for most of the folks at our table, so I drink most of it myself ;) We shared the pan con tomato, the patatas bravas, two Spanish tortillas, the sizzling garlic shrimp, and the breads with spreads, as well as the vegetarian entree they had that evening, an Asian stir-fry that was quite yummy. Felice seems to be an Asian-Spanish-Dutch fusion restaurant, with lots of unique dishes. We enjoyed all of them quite a bit. Possibly the best thing about the meal was the complimentary shot of honey rum at the end! We left the restaurant full and happy. If you're looking for a yummy dinner in the Gracia neighborhood, Felice is worth your time.
