It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. 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.

Using the tried and true "What spot has the most diners" criteria we ended up in Restaurant Sa Gambina. We started with some Cadaqués oysters on the half-shell (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/C5Jf8T7vkSGxxbRsXK59ZA?select=aNwId7yspOVeu8o22cCFwA). A lemon wedge was provided with no other sauces. They tasted fresh and briney. Arroz Negro (paella with squid ink) was our entree (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/C5Jf8T7vkSGxxbRsXK59ZA?select=zYuKnNr0QuGVh6N2l1GtzA) and was chock full of nicely cooked seafood. It was one of the few paellas we had in Spain with a nice socarrat (the carmelized crusty rice on the bottom of the paella pan). Food was very good. Service was rather indifferent. I saw that Trip Advisor reviews rip this place. Most of the reviews are from after we were there so maybe we got lucky, it's gone downhill, or we have no taste for Spanish food.

While Roses maybe overshadowed by the legend of El Bulli and then Rafa's by those in the know,…read morethere is a place in the streets away from the tourist crush. Walk a few blocks away from the water closer to the residential areas and you'll find Cal Negre. Literally a redone house with a large kitchen/fume hood in the middle of the building. We sat outside on a nice warm day and literally we're on the patio of the house. It's like eating in someone's back yard. Specializing in the seafood from the Cap de Creus that Roses is right off of, they also have some other Catalan fare. However you'd best focus on that seafood. Tiger prawns, langoustines and one of the best l'arròs de llagosta I've ever had. A whole lobster on top of an amazing bed or rice with a bunch of surprises throughout. As I kept digging we found mantis shrimp (galera), small harbor crabs (franqueta?), and txipirones (small squid). So damn good across the board. The family were super nice to us and they could tell we were enjoying their food. One of the servers also took the time to teach us some Catalan so we could learn more about the food. If you make your way up the Costa Brava and pass through this area, drop in, get a pitcher of sangria and enjoy some amazing local seafood

Right on the beach with excellent service. But how is the food? Well if you like fresh fish it gets…read moreno fresher. They will bring the available fish to the table you pick the one you want they weigh it and that's that. The fish are usually of a size (around 1kg or so) so it is meant to be shared. They grilled it over an open fire sprinkle some excellent olive oil and some sea salt along with potatoes also grilled. They perfectly debone and present a gorgeous couple of fish fillets. A very fresh fish perfectly grilled. For an appetizer we tried a local fresh cheese served with olive tapenade and anchovies and an excellent crusty bread. Amazing! They have a very good wine list. We tried their house rose wich was cold and crisp and very well priced, overall a wonderfully place for a great meal. If you love chocolate try the profiteroles.

Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection.
