I asked for a manchego y iberico ham charcuterie that featured three varieties of the cheese. Paired with bread, butter and wine, its a perfect meal.

Food service was slow but we had plenty of time (drank two bottles of great Spanish wine). Great place to get meats, cheeses, bread, etc. if you want to have a picnic or something to snack on in your hotel.

This little shop is literally around the corner from our Air BNB near Sagrada Família. I was on a…read moremission to find more than grocery store wine for our rooftop dinner. It was the perfect spot. The small shop has large shelves of wine from the Spanish regions. In addition to a several different Rioja options which was my main focus, they also had a small section from France so I was able to get some Rhône valley wine. The shop keeper was as helpful as two people that don't speak each other's language can be. When I asked Rioja he confirmed red and took me to the section. Same when I asked for cava (bubbles) he took me right over. If we were here longer I'm sure I would be back. They also have liquor from scotch to gin. It's not a liquor store selection but if you're looking for something simple they probably have it.

If you are in Barcelona and don't have time to venture out to wineries in the countryside than this…read moreplace is a must. First of all it has wine on tap that they sell in growlers and by the liter. All local And fresh wine! So good. Second, they have a huge variety of natural wines and organic wines-- all for reasonable prices. They even have pictures of the wine makers up on the walls with little descriptions. The proprietor of the shop really goes out of his way to choose the right wines. We came in for an English friendly wine tour that we booked on trip advisor. It was a 5 glass of wine sampling with a couple free refills for those who wanted. The sommelier is French trained and has a true appreciation for local wine. The tour was a blast and they even brought out some local light meats and cheeses. I loved the overall experience and the only real down side is that I don't permanently live in Barcelona to take advantage of the refillable wine growlers- the prices are so low but the quality is amazing!!

For just €7 we were able to buy a local organic cab (€3 was for the glass bottle that we can bring back and refill)! They also had a variety of bottled wines and beers. If you come on the right day they have a formal tasting room as well. I'm so glad we stumbled in and out of here.

Oh my goodness this is so good. If I ever go to Barcelona again I would come here…read more Must get: Steak with foie gras on bread 8/10: sooo decadent and luxurious. It's abt 8 euros a piece. Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I…read moreexperienced: - The host seated us next to a table of three self-absorbed, loud and obnoxiously nonstop talking late teens early twenties girls. - The food bus'ers attempted to deliver the wrong order to our and nearby tables five times. - The 1/2 order (three small slivers) tomato soaked bread (1/2 PA AMB TOMAQUET) was certainly not worth the €2.5! - The Greek Salad (ENS GREGA) was the worst example of such we have ever had (my party included an authentic Greek). The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time nor money dining here!!!
