Ps. We observed the manager arguing with patrons next to us over service etiquette and we are on the side of the customers. Not a good look.

Very cute place (and waitress as well). Unfortunately, if you can't get by with a non-English…read morespeaking establishment, this won't be your place. I got by speaking English with aggressive hand language (pointing at the menu really and making shapes in the air). They have an English menu, not to worry, so you can simply smile and point. The cafe had a very french bistro atmosphere to it - very cute and quaint. The place filled up quickly, and at one point there was only one waitress (so expect slower service). However, as many of the patrons seemed to be locals, I think they didn't require fast service as they were pleasantly chatting away. I, on the other hand, had to go up to the waitress when she was making coffee in order to get my check (which is fine to do if you're in a hurry!) The food was fair - the soup, which was the soup of the day so unfortunately to me is unidentifiable, was sweet and creamy. Very similar to tomato bisque with some chives on top. The app I ordered, tuna belly salad, was okay - the tuna was pre-cooked as it was cold. The entree, salmon with asparagus, was very good as well. Definitely worth a venture, as this shop is fairly close to the popular high-end shopping street, Passeig de Gracia, so it's convenient to go to after a hard days worth of spending money.

Ok if your a fan of eggs benny this is a "must stop to try"…read more A friend of mine told me this was also a Michelin restaurant so you know I had to try this spot out! Small little intimate resto located near the pasa de gracia strip. They are clean and service is attentive! What we ordered from the menu. Must try the fresh orange juice! It totally adds the umph to your breaky. I had French onion soup it was awesome too! I was feeling a little sick but that didn't stop me from eating the eggs benny Please keep note the Benny's do not come with anything besides just two eggs. There are no hash browns that comes with it. So if your hunger level is a 10 do look at the menu for more. I loved it so much I came the next day

Maestro is probably a 3.5 for me overall. We stopped here because our planned destination had a…read morelong wait, and Maestro had good ratings. This is a great place to come with a group - the interior is large, bustling and a little noisy. They brew their own beer and it's available in several sizes or in flights. I opted for wine because I'm always bringing wine to a beer fight but the men had a pitcher of beer and were good with it. Maestro has a larger menu so most people will be able to find something they like. They also do lots of combos - liked a mixed meat and cheese board or an assortment of montaditos. That let's you try a bunch of different things for a reasonable price, and it's great for sharing as we found out. I liked our bites assortment for sure but nothing stood out as "amazing". It's a different story on their flammekuche - we opted for the traditional ham and onion and liked it so well we ordered another. Good for groups, good for casual bites, good for variety, great for flammekuche.

We had a few tapas of course including a bacala cerviche and fried calamari's. Nice place to visit on a hot day and have a few beers.

Going to Barcelona , I had to make a pilgrimage to Disfrutar, the #1 restaurant in the world…read moreaccording to the 2024 world's 50 best list. Problem was, I tried to get reservations 7 months out and they were fully booked. So on the waitlist I went. Then my phone rings in Los Angeles at 3:30 am 2 months later. My wife is panicked like some emergency is happening....I spring awake as I hear Disfrutar on the other end, asking me if I could make a cancelation they just had on one of my dates I requested. Wow, best phone call I ever got in the middle of the night. So glad I happened to leave my cell next to my bed and forgot to silence it, The Foodie Gods work in mysterious ways. 1. Frozen Passionfruit Lady Finger with rum 2. Drop of rose petal water, then lychee frozen raspberry, followed by drop of rose petal water. Beet macaron that dissolves in your mouth like cotton candy. 3. They call it a "panchino" I would describe it as a baked Chinese bao bun filled with caviar and crème fresh. Served with truffle vodka. 4. Solid bubbles of smoked butter with caviar, the magnifying glass to appreciate the detail of the smoked butter, and the little person on the paper is a reminder to look towards th. It even has a shadow as it is a tiny pop up book. 5. Gazpacho sandwich. Rather than being soft, it had the texture of a light meringue, which left the familiar flavor of the traditional soup. Served with a scent of vinegar spray for you to smell before each bite 6. Deconstructed Gilda Pintxo with marinated mackerel. We were shown a photo of a traditional Gilda prior to being served theirs. Of course there was a surprise as the "olive" kind of exploded in your mouth and wasn't really an olive at all. 7. Flourless Coca (Catalan pastry) with Escalivada (Catalan relish of eggplant, peppers, onions, tomatoes, oil) and anchovy crème. The golden "caviar" on top was droplets of olive oil that burst nicely in your mouth. 8. Crunchy mushroom leaf. This had the intense flavor of a porcini mushroom soup, and incredibly delicate. 9. Crispy egg yolk with warm porcini and trumpet mushroom gelatin. Bite through the tempura, pour the yolk into the cup and eat side by side with the mushroom gelee. 10. Oxygenated mushroom broth with oyster mushroom and succulent. It tasted like cactus, meh. But everything else was delicious. 11. Multispherical pesto with pistachios and smoked eel. An iconic dish. Those aren't peas, it's a string of green pearls of pesto that turn into sauce to mix with the Parmesan sauce and smoked eel. 12. Macaroni alla carbonara. The clear pasta has the texture of pasta but is made with beef gelatin to add a nice extra flavor to each bite. This was one intense Parmesan cheesy cream sauce. 13. Liquid Salad and tomato Polvoron (which had a light spongy texture like a fine creamy chocolate) Olive oil pearls made a return on the tomato cookie. 14. Suquet fish stew deconstructed Hake White fish, with potato gnocchi saffron, parsley foam, potato cappuccino. A traditional Catalan dish in an untraditional way. 15. The Goose that laid the golden eggs: fried egg of crustacean. Fried egg white with a golden "egg yolk" that was actually a Thai red sweet chili crab sauce. With Thai peanut sauce, cilantro, shrimp, this is a very familiar flavor profile. 16. Multi spherical tatin of corn and foie. This is an illusion. You try to pick up a mirrored version of the dish. Beautiful sweet corn flavor offsetting the earthiness of the foie on a light crispy corn base. 17. Squab with amasake kombu spaghetti, rice sauce, almond sauce, and grape. Kombu is a Japanese edible kelp. Working the sauces from inside to out, grape at the end led towards the desert portion of the evening. 18. Served with a smoked apple cider, you crack a walnut, inside you wil find a small manchego cheese cube. As you reflect on how inedible the walnut shell is, the next dish.... 19. Musings on Walnuts. Disfrutar has found a way to make the walnut shell edible, fairly soft and left marinating in various ways over time to break down the shell and infusing it with various flavors without completely losing the walnut taste. The Idiazabal cheese foam held everything together. 20. Hoisin Cucumber. Candied pork rind, cucumber granita with mint. Like eating a mojito with a crunchy sweet hoisin sauce pork rind. Might be the best dish of the night. 21. Black sesame cornet. The next layers had strawberry and crème. Very delicate, eat it quick before it breaks into shards. 22. Black apple with noisette butter ice cream and flourless puff pastry. The black apple...they show you the aging process at different stages. They serve it at 60 months at which point it is kind of a brown fleshy goop, but such an intense flavor, almost booze like in nature, served warm and with butter ice cream. 23. Petit fours were served in the courtyard. Contained Pineapple rocks, strawberry mochi, raspberry marshmallow, matcha tea rock, chocolate and passion liquid bonbon, and cotton candy.
