I'm not here to review the sexy time I went on a date at this dimly-lit bar in Barcelona (I'm sure you're thinking, "Which one?"), but instead, all the times I went here with my girlfriends to get the best strawberry mojitos in town. The food was fine, nothing impressive in particular. The service--on less busy nights--was commendable and 'friendly' (loose term in España). There is plenty of space, but also plenty of people--so come early. But like I said before: Strawberry mojitos! They're 7-8 euros a pop, but my friends and I came here so often that we stopped getting lost in el Born (miracles do happen).

Hands Down - coolest ambiance for dinner in Barcelona!! I had this on my list of places to try…read morewhile we were visiting the city, but what sealed the deal for us was our tour guide highly recommending this as well. The ambiance has a fun vibe to it, loud music, beds for cocktails/bottles, tables for dinner and drinks, and a bar to hang out and catch up with your friends. It's your one stop shop, for just about everything. What we really came for was the food as the added bonus to a different ambiance than what we're used to back home for dinner. The food and wine are sooooo good here. Now, vegetarian items can be tricky to find in Spain, but if you happen to be one, let me tell you this is definitely a great place that has plenty of options for you picky eaters. We ordered: Fried 'Bravas' potatoes. Feta cheese, Pumpkin and Raising Spring rolls, with sherry reduction. Goat cheese salad with pistachio tomato marmalade. Fillet mignon in a trumpet sauce with potato gratin Bottle of red wine Did I mention how amazing everything was?!

We were lucky to find this place which was a few minutes from our hotel. On the website, it said…read more"online reservation made before 8 pm gets 30% off." So we went! We were led to the dining room upstairs. The menu has English descriptions beneath each dish. We ordered 10 dishes: Pan Con Tomate (bread with tomato and tomato sauce), Patatas Bravas (Spanish potatoes; not greasy, very tasty), Albondigas de la Yaya (meatballs with tomato sauce; very tender meat), Calamares a la Andaluza (fried squid; nicely cooked and not rubbery, like them alot), Bastoncitos de Pollo (homemade chicken nuggets with BB sauce; crispy and tender, tasty BB sauce), Empanada Compesina (not too crazy about this one), Empanada Picante (spicy meat; it is okay), Spaghetti Carbonara (very soft, lots of sauce; nice dish), Yakimeshi (rice with squid and shrimp; my favorite!), and Macareno (hamburger, doble cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, and fried egg; very juicy, mouth watering and very American hamburger!) Water is a very pricey item in Europe. We ordered three bottles of water at 2.30 EUR or 2.60 USD each. We did get 30% off our bill! The server was friendly, patient, polite, and very warm. The dishes were reasonably priced. We had a wonderful dining experience at this place. Highly recommended if you visit the area.

Great for an afternoon drink after the beach.

Well, they made me a fan. Nicolas, our waiter, provided very good service and helped us make decisions. Wine: (not included in the menu) Roura Xarel-lo €14. Went well with the food. Food: * Tracie - Green salad with tomatoes and bleu cheese. She ate 100%. * Dave - Egg & Potato salad with a sweet mustard mayo. Hearty. Delicious and very filling. * Tracie - Chicken breast stuffed with cheese and mushrooms. A large portion. Rich flavors. * Dave - Pork with rice. The rice was cold and had lemon in it. Refreshing. The pork was tender. I ate it all. * Dessert - Pear-Apple Crumble. I added a shot of blueberry Patxaran to go with it while Tracie had coffee. + Music - soothing jazz. + Flatware - medium weight Comas. + Wi-Fi - very fast. + Rear dining room has a tiny garden in the back. - Paper napkins. €40.45 for lunch for 2.

We were quickly greeted by a Gentleman who gave us a quick summary of their breakfast options. Around 10 on a Saturday morning, it felt like we were opening the place. Smaller and cozy narrow space inside and they had a few tables outside. Given the view of the Basilica, we opted for outside. We ordered a couple of Cafe Con Leches. Just the right temp. and perfect. For a light breakfast, we shared the Spanish Omelet (when in Rome or Barcelona in this case......) Eggs infused with potatoes and onions and, on the side, mini toast topped with a tomato spread/olive oil. Maybe it was the fact that we had an amazing view of the Sagrada but this Omelet was amazing. Simple ingredients done right! Our server was upbeat and engaged and took great care of us. Ardevol has been around since 1957-I see why. Great spot for coffee, snack or a drink.
