It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

If I could give this zero stars, I would. After hiking up the large hill to access the bar, the…read moreview was the only worthwhile feature. As a tourist staying in Montgat (conveniently just outside of Barcelona), my family and I have never been treated more poorly. Upon seeing us, the staff blatantly stared and gave us dirty looks, and continued to ignore us despite our obvious wishes to be seated. The staff was unhelpful, condescending, and refused to meet us in the middle despite our efforts to close the language barrier. We were treated as outsiders and nuisances, despite being paying customers. Such judge mental attitudes, especially from staff is appalling. Despite it being a local eatery that does not cater to tourists I still cannot understand the rude attitudes.

All of the people were staring at us and giving us dirty looks because we look different. I was appalled by their rudeness and lack of customer service. Their cocktails were okay but their sangria wasn't the best. Plainly, don't go there if you are a tourist because they are arrogant and ignorant people. Strongly don't recommend.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to be seated outside since they were completely full. We opted to sit inside, which was still nice. I can't recall the exact name of the dish that I got but it had Pork Loins with Marinara and Cheese. Also came with some toasted baguette on the side. My boyfriend got the Ribeye, which was huge and it came with some potatoes. While the dishes were good, they weren't anything spectacular but it did remind us of home cooking. The service here was also really good as our server checked in with us throughout to ask if we needed anything. Overall, the experience was good and the meal was very affordable especially given the size of the Ribeye Steak. We would definitely come back here again.

Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection. Chocolate desserts, oh my! Yup, get those too.
