We arrived shortly after opening and there were a few non reserved tables so we promptly snagged a table in the back. The space is small but charming. I would highly recommend making reservations because you do not want to miss this experience. We ordered several dishes and as each one was brought to the table it was evident from plating and scent alone that we were going to be satisfied. Satisfied is not generally what I strive for when dining out on vacation. I want to be transported to the culture and flavor profiles through food. Dinner here was incredible from the attentive but non pretentious service to the sheer quality and preparation of the food. A great date night spot while visiting Barcelona! They prepare your steak how you ask for it and serve it by portions of 100grams. You order the weight you want. Yes, it was very nice to meat you we also ordered the stuffed potato, gnocci, fried provolone and croquette. All solid choices and would absolutely order again.

After thirteen hours of touring, I needed a good meal. When I'm traveling, I always save the biggest meal for dinner. I read the reviews of Dune and saw some great photos of various meals. I was in the mood for tapas and salad and some vino. I stepped inside and was greeted warmly. I was offered bar seating or table. I chose a table and my waiter was cheerful and handed me the menu in English. I saw this tapa reviewed on Yelp: Bomba de salmon: a croquette shaped like a ball stuffed with salmon and cheese. I didn't see it on the menu so I decided to still eat like a Catalan and ordered the Paella special with sangria and mozzarella/ tomato salad drizzled with oil and oregano. After he took my order, my waiter served me iced water and amuse bouche: Spanish olives with red peppers. The olives were delicious. My salad was dynamite: every morsel had a great combo of cherry tomatoes with cubed bites of mozzarella and oregano. My paella came out in a cazuel dish: I asked him to replace mussels with more shrimp. The shrimps were sitting on a hot bed of yellow rice. I had to peel the skin into a bowl. The shrimps were meaty however the rice portion tasted a wee bit fishy. I've had many versions of paella and never had a fishy taste. Maybe the mussels are cooked with rice and that's why there was a fishy taste? Not sure... the portion was very filling. ?The Red sangria that accompanied the meal was sweet and delicious. I then decided to try the flan de la casa but they were out. My waiter recommended this glass of tiramisu ice cream with caramel drizzle. Out of this world! He then asked me if I wanted a flavored liquor in the house. I chose the coffee flavored: tasted like sambucca. The menu has a nice variety of dishes like crispy chicken with sweet potato sticks, steak and salads. There are mixed plates and combos to choose from. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The diners near me were eating potato braves with croquettes in a spicy sauce. I made small talk with my waiter who is also a chef and vowed to come back. A great meal!

It's an Italian restaurant but serves paella. The Iberian Ham was so fresh and full of flavor, as was the manchego cheese.

And to end the meal, the Catalan Cream, which is the areas version of Cream Brulee. We hope to come back for another memorable meal.

For dessert, my wife and I shared a crema catalana. They had burnt the sugar well and the ratio of sugar to the cream underneath was perfect. For drinks, I got an aperol spritz and a vermouth negro. I was a huge fan of both. Portion sizes were pretty generous and the service was quick and attentive. Great place to check out if you're in the Gothic quarter!

Everywhere we went needed reservation, but thank god this place had some space. Felt like a local spot, since everyone around us was speaking Spanish. We ordered the octopus, patatas bravas, pan tomate, and croquettes. I am someone that dislikes potatoes, but wow these potatoes really blew me away. Perfectly sliced and fried, the sauce was also impeccable. The octopus was also very tender and paired very well with the sauce. Everything tasted fresh and crisp, such a great find. Slightly pricier than I expected restaurants to be around the area, but definitely a trendy and worthy spot. Bottled water was also like $1, which was amazing. Atmosphere 10/10 Quite loud, a lot of conversations going on inside, but I enjoyed this vibe. Very lively and young crowd, we fit right in. Great interior decor, a lot of marble and brass details.
