When in Europe eat some Italian food, as you are close enough that someone is doing it right. It also breaks up the Spanish tapas for a minute. I made reservations via email in advance prior to my trip. They responded quickly and seamed happy to take them, as they do book up. It was totally worth it, as the Raviolo with mushroom, truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage was one of the best things we ate on our entire trip. Don't miss out on it. Papas Bravas - nicely served with two dipping sauces, one a little spicy, and the other a garlic sauce. Meatballs with Mozzarella and Tomato Sauce. This was served almost as a soup, with bread to dip in the sauce, or in our case we balanced the meatballs, cheese, and sauce on it. Cacio e Pepe - nice and cheesy served with fresh pappardelle. I liked the thicker noodles to soak up the tasty sauce. I noticed the table fighting over sharing this one, which is always a good sign. Carbonara - definitely made correctly here with egg yolk, if you are fan of classic carbonara, you'll like theirs. Served with thick fresh spaghetti noodles. Raviolo with Mushroom, Truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage. You can put this dish right next to anything you will eat in Spain (including those having Michelin stars) and it will hold its own. It's that good. Please do not miss this dish. If I'm ever back in Barcelona, I will return for this dish and to try other things on the menu.

Healthy, Hearty, and Huge Portions in Barcelona!…read more Been craving something on the healthier side while in Barcelona and came across this spot on Google with tons of high ratings -- and now I see why! Key thing to remember: this place is CASH ONLY, so come prepared. The workers (or maybe the owners) were super, super friendly and very welcoming from the moment we walked in. We decided to eat inside, and wow -- the portions were absolutely ginormous! I ordered the chicken plate, and hubby got the beef and chicken plate, and both were delicious. Each plate came loaded with rice, lentils, red cabbage, tomato salad, lettuce, avocado sauce, plus a spicy hot sauce on the side. We also ordered fries, and it even came with bread to scoop everything up -- such a satisfying meal. All this for 24€. Definitely a must-try if you're looking for something filling but still feels a bit lighter on the tummy while exploring Barcelona. Happy eats in Barcelona!

All sandwiches were 5 euros but some went up to 6. I got the steak with tomato, feta, cucumber, lettuce, avocado and 3 house sauces. My steak was juicy and cooked once I ordered.

Don't plan on eating inside as it is very tiny with 4 tables (they don't let you eat inside if you bring outside drinks) and CASH ONLY.

Our…read morehotel was just a 5 min walk around the corner, actually, this was a 2nd choice since one of the burger spots weren't open (despite what Google hours were indicated, just an fyi for foreign traveling) - always good to have a back-up). Not one bit disappointed that this place ended up being our alternative choice, OMG the burgers. Have to say, that was the best burger I've tasted ever and I come from the land of burgers. AKA: America. Come to find out these were Argentinian beef burgers. They were so juicy, yet so lean and well executed. The steak fries/chips were also good, especially with the aioli sauce. Also had a 1551 cava brut, not dry at all and hit the spot with the meal. At the end of our meal, the staff were so hospitable (not sure if it's just a Spain thing because it occurred elsewhere as well), but they offered some complimentary shots for our table. (see the attached photo) - such a delight and if by any chance I happen to be around this part of Spain again, I'd go here in a heartbeat.

It was not crowded when we went, and they had a whole lineup of yummy-looking sandwiches in the window for quick to-go orders. Honestly, I think that is probably the way to go here. We ordered just inside (Pointing to the window sammys) and said we wanted to sit, and the sandwiches they brought out were different from the ones in the window. We also got a jamon and breadstick plate and that was a rough one, way to dry and tough, kinda like jerky. Unfortunately, our sandwich was fine, but definitely less flavorful than several other jamon spots we had tried in the days before. Oh well, they can't all be gems. On the plus side, the bathroom was totally fine, and they even allowed the occasional desperate passerby to use it, which I consider a real public service. As a gal with a peanut bladder, I can personally confirm they are kind people.
