The views!!! We…read morevisited here based on the recommendations one of our Taxi drivers gave us. It was a bit further north pass Barceloneta. I believe the beach is called Pont Del Petroli Beach, it was located on a more remote section of the coast with beautiful beaches and walkways with several restaurants next to the sand. * Note, if your staying into the heart of the city, this beach / restaurants requires a cab drive. It's a bit far for scooter or bikes * We were seated and I must say the views of the ocean and beach was spectacular. It was a really nice view of a crystal blue ocean with sandy beaches and palms, simply gorgeous. Now the food, I found the food to be a bit overpriced compared to the portions and prices in the Gothic quarter where we were staying. We had Croquettes that were absolutely delicious. Extremely flaky with good consistency and fried perfectly. We also ordered Gambas al ajillo, now it was a slight error when they brought us Gambas en Salsa ... however they quickly corrected the issue... They were delicious, cooked perfectly with olive oil and garlic cloves. We also ordered pan con tomate which was soft in the middle and crispy on the edges. All in all it was a good experience, I would probably find something a little closer to Barceloneta since it's closer to town and cheaper but the views were amazing!

We only had the chance to visit the bar and grab a beer. I am giving it this rating for the place and the experience. 4 Stars for: Great atmosphere, location and authentic-looking place. Located right in front of Badalona's Platja del Pont de Petroli. The place and decor remind me of Venezuelan beach restaurants with an authentic vintage feeling, not just made up with brand new furniture intentionally made to look vintage.

The restaurant has a terrace outside but it is much more comfortable to sit inside and enjoy the design of this stylish restaurant. Black and orange are the halloweenesque tonalities in here, and the narrow corridor opens up to the spacious and bright kind of hidden gallery. Menu was around 12 euros and i choose a cold vegan soup as 1st dish, which was excellent, calamari rice as 2nd (barely saw 2 little calamari pieces but the flavor was very good) and dessert was plumcake. My friend Imma, a local like me but expat post doc in Arizona, choose pasta and lemon sorbet. I tried both and were really good. All with wine bread nicely presented, mineral water and wine. My only complain is that the server did not change the cuttlery from the first dish to the second and that would have been a nice touch.

They are accommodating with allergies and they want to verify rather than preach, a quality I value. Not the cheapest daily menu in the vicinity but they offer more choice overall, and good value for money. Previous reviewer mentioned no change of cutlery between courses, I feel compelled to agree. Not a complaint but it's a very small touch that adds to the experience. Will happily try again!

In fact, though, this sweet spot isn't that old. Nevertheless, the decor is vintage, interesting, and overall, cool! Indeed, I say cool because this bar draw draws all the cool hip young kids from big bad BCN. They come for the great drinks but, I think, most of all because of the fabulous music. A live DJ is there (at least on the weekend nights I've been), pumping out some pretty darned good alternative/electro music. Really, I don't have a lot of negative things to say about this place. It's absolutely *fabulous*! A must-visit if you're in lower Raval with some time on your hands and an itch to have fun :)

They had basic bar rails and scotch, but maybe not your favorite brand (one of dining companions ordered jamieson, which was met by the offer of some peaty 12 year old Scotch. That seems a particularly dangerous game to play). Overall a very nice dining experience, with good food in a beautiful setting. Font de Prades is one of the ten or so restaurants in the Poble Espanyol which has the feel of an old archeological find on a hill overlooking barcelona. Arrive early for your reservation so you walk around the Poble Espanyol and take in its scenic views and shopping. Your admission will be covered with your reservation. As before, the food is good, not great. The starters were the highlights with the avocado, tomato, mozzarella salad being the clear standout. The wild mushroom pie is their stated house special, but it's decidedly average. The mains aren't great. Lots of carpaccios on the offer, but they should be skipped. Paella is probably the play here. Everything else is done well. Good wine list and service was polite - albeit lacking on the English skills (which is fine and to be expected) A really nice place to spend a night with friends. Dinner for 5 with 2 bottles of wine, pitcher of sangria and botto less glasses of vodka conyello came in just above 200 euros. Not bad at all.

It was a bit weird because we waited for a while to get the platter and the pan con tomate wasn't already made, instead they brought garlic, tomato and olive oil and you had to do it yourself ! The second dish was good, roasted pepper were nicely cooked and served with hot goat's cheese on top. Nothing spectacular but it was nice. It was served with crackers. Service in this restaurant was very slow...we wait a long time between each course. We didn't really understand why we waited so long all the time as not many things in the plate required a long preparation. The long wait totally ruined the experience. The last dish was a big piece of bread with sobrassada and mozzarella on top, we had one each. It was good but I didn't understand why it took 30 minutes to arrive on the table. The problem with this place I think it was that waiters were not organised and they didn't pay attention to customers. We requested the bill twice and because it took too much time, we stood up and went inside to request and pay the bill straight to escape quickly and had dessert in another restaurant. We thought it would have take one hour to get the dessert coming to our table in this place. Our meal lasted nearly three hours ! I would have understood if it was for a 8 courses menu with elaborated dishes, but at Spicca the fact you had to do some dishes yourself and you wait 30 minutes for a toast was inexplicable.
