    * This review is for the Pho Bo noodles * I understand that you take a chance when you stray from the local cuisine and try something more exotic. I've had some great experiences and some not so great, and the experience tonight definitely was the latter. I really can't speak for any other food served at the restaurant, but their interpretation of Pho Bo is absolutely horrible. My wife and I were in the mood for some nice comforting broth and noodles, and we were spectacularly disappointed. I have had much better instant noodles than what was served. I honestly don't think the chef here understands the concept of what a Pho Bo is supposed to be. Barcelona has excellent meats, vegetables, and spices widely available, so it really puzzles me how terrible this version of Pho Bo is. The broth lacks any deep flavors, it tastes like the some beef was boiled for very short time, then seasoned with some soy sauce and copious amounts of salt. Slices of beef served in the Pho Bo was so salty that it was inedible. I had to hurry back to the hotel to brush my tongue to get the horrible metallic salty taste out of my mouth. Living in Europe, it's difficult to find good Asian food in general, but this was absolutely the worst experience I've had in a very long time. I didn't think it was possible, but you can have a bad meal in Barcelona.

    Fil Manila - Pancit Miki Bihon

    It was such a pleasant surprise to find Filipino food in Barcelona. Fil Manila was a bit hard to…read morefind after coming from La Rambla street but I'm definitely glad we found it! We came here on a Friday night and there was a fair amount of people dining in. Despite having a few tables to wait on; the waitress here was quick to take our orders. We happened to come on a Lenten Friday and so our options for non meat was a bit limited. We got Ginataang Dorada and Tuna (Fish in Coconut Cream), Pancit Miki Bihon (Noodles) and Paella Mixed Seafood. Though our orders were placed quickly. It took quite sometime to get our orders. It took a good hour and we were quite hungry by the time our meals finally came. The Pancit Miki Bihon was beautifully plated but I was definitely surprised with the small portion size. The small portion size was a bit of a bummer as thought the Pancit itself was pretty good in flavor. It has a good mix of veggies with cauliflower and brocolli. The Ginataang Dorada was also an ok dish in terms of flavor. It has lots of beans and some butternut squash. There was definitely more green beans in there than squash. This dish was enjoyable with white rice. We also tried some of their puto; Filipino steamed rice cake. The waitress told us these were freshly made. These were very soft tasty. It was really nice to find Filipino food in Barcelona. The meal was enjoyable though there were some things I wish were a little bit better in terms of this visit. The wait time for food was too long and also thought portion size was a bit small. Despite this; I am still very happy to have enjoyed Filipino food in Barcelona. I've always thought Filipino food should be known worldwide and definitely loved seeing a Filipino spot in the heart of the city.

    An easy to miss location amongst all the sights and stores in the gothic quarter, we ventured out…read moreone night craving some Filipino food and found this place on Yelp. A short walk over from The Rambla and our hotel in the gothic quarter, this place offered friendly service and a taste of home for those looking for authentic Filipino foods as well as those looking to try something new. We had the sigsig, pancit, and lumpia... our usual go to food when trying any new Filipino restaurant and all of them were served up tasty and yummy. The pancit was flavorful, the sigsig was crunchy and spicy. We topped it off with a halo halo which was also very good. Nearing the end of our dinner, a group of Filipinos entered all searching for some comfort food and they ordered a large amount of many dishes, so I assume they found the place after hearing about it from other Filipinos thru the grapevine Definitely a different cuisine than most of the other Spanish restaurants and fast food American places and would recommend a visit !
