I don't Yelp that often, but as an American tourist, I've found that traveling overseas and using reviews to find places to eat to be a challenge (and a combination of using the G-word reviews and Yelp).
This place didn't show up in Yelp, and I like the opportunity for that rare 'First to Review', so here I am with a fellow Yelper.
On our last day in Barcelona, we were looking for a brunch type place near our (Corner) hotel to find churros and chocolate, or really just any brunch place. This place looked clean, new, and by the looks among the clientele, trendy for women in their 20s. (Seriously, it was like being in a women's clothing store .. 90% women, at least on this Wednesday morning.)
Warning for meat-eaters, La Papa is vegetarian. The food is delicious, gorgeously plated, and generously portioned. I'm not sure why my wife felt the need to order *4* items for the two of us, since the leftovers make us look like gluttonous/wasteful Americans, but that wasn't my call, and there are more pics to show for it. (I ate all the mushroom Baos, so there's that).
If you're going to be inside awhile and on your phone, use the free wifi. And be prepared to wait for your order, art takes time. The food fits in with the ambience of La Papa. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a minimalist way that also shows attention to detail. Like Flintstones minimalist and earth tones meets Jetsons futuristic. There are very few sharp corners (which is a weird thing to notice, but I did). The windows are really clean. Which I noticed when I slammed into it while looking at my phone to walk outside to take a picture of the front. (correction, *were* really clean)
All in all, a very pleasant place to have a tasty, leisurely lunch/brunch. Subtracted a star only because of the wait for the food, but if time is not an issue, then it'd be closer to 5 stars. Relax, take the time to admire the beauty and the curves of the place and presentation read more
