    It's the only place we ate at twice during our trip to Barcelona...so that says a lot about how much we enjoyed it. They are a small store with a counter for ordering to go sliced meats, cheeses and other small grocery items, but also have several tables for eating in. It has the perfect quaint but comfortable vibe. The staff was so friendly and remembered us when we returned for the second time. Prices are slightly high, but worth it. They have several assorted cold tapas, sliced meats and cheeses as well as sandwiches.

    Came here twice with my sister during my recent stay in Barcelona. Everything we had was so good but our favorite was the simple jamon sandwiches. The bread was just the right amount of crisp and the jamon was so delicious! I still dream of the sandwiches back in the States. I can't remember which sandwich I liked better - the one with jamon from the shoulder or the thigh but they were all so yummy. Will definitely revisit if I am ever in Barcelona again!

    In Barcelona, my lunch of choice became the ever-present bocadillo - not too heavy, easy to find, and delicious! Most I grabbed by stopping at the first cafe that advertised them, but La Pineda stood out as well recommended, so I had to try it. Displays and displays of meat greet you upon first step into the store. My second impression was a waitress asking me if I'd like a drink - wine, cava? I opted for a rose cava. After I sat down, she brought over the cava and walked me through their extensive menu. La Pineda's specialty is an acorn-fed Iberian ham, which was some of the best I had in Barcelona. I ordered two half bocadillos - the jamon, and one with goat cheese. The bread was deliciously crusty, and the meat and cheese were generous and of such high quality. Despite the high quality, La Pineda is incredibly affordable - I think my bill came out to under 10€ for two half sandwiches and a glass of cava. The space feels incredibly authentic, but the waitress ably spoke English to me and was very patient.

    The delicious spread! We ate it all!

    Ahoy, I came here on part of a food tour. This was our first stop. I was unsure of what to expect. It is a quaint and pretty shop. I love the look and feel of the entire shop. We walked to the rear of the shop. There were the tables. We had a beautiful spread. Plates of various cheese, jamon, pan con tomate, and a few other delicious tapas. We had three types of ham. All were delicious with their own distinct taste. You cannot find great ham like this in the States. It was neat seeing the brace that holds the boar's leg from which the Ham comes from. Very fresh! I am also a fan of the various hanging meats. That is my aesthetic. Great place. I look forward to returning!

    This is our second stop at La Pineda in the past 8 months. We specifically searched out La Pineda to have lunch on our most recent stay in Barcelona, as we had such a wonderful experience during our first trip. They seriously have some of the best pan con tomate around - wonderfully crispy bread, bright tomates with a bit of olive oil to give it some depth. They also put together some amazing charcuterie and cheese plates , but we limited ourselves to just some bellota iberico ham, and chorizo with a few different types of manchego. All outstanding. Paired with some olives, and a great bottle of Rioja it made a wonderful lunch and another great experience.

    We had a wonderful lunch at this adorable shop. The olives were amazing - I asked to try all three varieties. Our favorite cheese was the truffle manchego - I will probably dream about that for days! The food is so fresh that you really can't go wrong. We paired everything with a wonderful light Rose wine that our server recommended. All in all, a fantastic meal!

    In the heart of the Gothic quarter is this tight spaced place that will have you Iberico ham heaven. Dont miss the opportunity to feast on perfection. The place is super clean and the staff is very friendly and very accommodating. They are very good at giving recommendations on Food as well as wines. Trust them , they know the best pairing for what you order

    I ADORED this place. From the outside, it looks like a hole in the wall. when you walk in you're transported into an authentic tapas restaurant. We got by just fine with English, but we noticed we were the only "tourists" inside. We did make friends with the guy at the charcuterie counter, as he let us back there to take photos with him. Another man, who seemed like a regular came over and had a 10 minute conversation with me in Spanish. Even though I don't speak or understand any Spanish. The tapas they have may not even be there the next day, but we loved the mixed seafood, artichokes, cheese, and I asked for Iberico jamon. Upside: Authentic, delicious food, friendly servers Downside: Not as many choices, don't get the pan con tomate (there's better everywhere else!)

    Leina K.

    Meat meat and more meat. We didn't even need to look at the menu with the leg of meat starring right at us. Service was friendly and amazing as she taught us about our poor friend who we were about to eat.

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!!!

Not only was his service incredible, but he also gave us amazing recommendations for our upcoming trip to Buenos Aires in two weeks. The food was hands-down our best meal in Barcelona. Every dish felt authentic and full of flavor.

To top it all off, the meal ended with a shot of local acorn liquor as we toasted Jordi, our other server, which also made the whole experience feel so special. And shoutout to Flor behind the bar for the fantastic margaritas and sangria! Thank you, Sabastian, Jordi, and Flor for making our Barcelona trip so unforgettable.

The inside of this place js small but has great decor, you feel like your stepping back into medieval times. It's perfectly at home in the gothic quarter. I had the bread to start with the tomato spread, this was very good. The spicy potato was phenomenal, a smothered baked potato in a nice blend of sauces. Then the sea bass and prawns in a coconut milk based soup...the star. Reminded me of a Thai Tom Kha soup. Overall would highly recommend. If I ever return to Barcelona, I will stop in.

The foie gras was absolutely unforgettable--rich, delicate, and simply to die for. The sangria was equally exceptional, fresh, balanced, and dangerously delicious. But what makes this place truly special is something that can't be captured on a menu. The atmosphere, the warmth, the way time seems to slow down... words simply can't do it justice. If you're visiting Barcelona, don't just come here for dinner. Come here to fall in love with the food, the city, the moment, or maybe even someone sitting across the table. An experience I'll never forget.

Well, the restaurant was cute and cozy with a great ambiance. With luck on our side, we found two seats at the bar and quickly ordered drinks. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria (because why not?). The sangria was delicious, refreshing, and made to order. It was definitely more authentic than what we're getting in America. We ordered the patatas bravas, tempura asparagus, the octopus, and the steak. It all came out as it became available. We couldn't decide what our favorite was, to be honest. We ordered an ice cream sandwich for dessert and quickly requested our bill. We didn't want to hold the staff up as we noticed they were cleaning the establishment and people were finishing up. Overall, what a great experience for our first meal in Barcelona! Cute and hidden gem.

But my view is that if you love food, care about your customers, love your business; then care for your brand and don't join crappy partnerships. And if you plan to do that; suck it up and serve proper food!
