Stumbled here by chance on my family's first night in Barcelona. We ate early, arriving at 6pm and…read morewas seated right away. A line formed and remained by 7:30pm and thereafter. They did bus the tables to seat people with a noticeable quickness. They have a rotating daily menu that changes the specials each day. We ended up here 3x and each time had different foods. Some evenings we enjoyed make the others so it'll depend on what menu items you get each day. Food came quick, service was prompt, and prices were more than reasonable.

I decided to invite my brother for a 'menu of day' in a recent visit to my birth town and was thinking the classic 10-12 euros menu. This place is pricier for the menu of the day, that normally consist in appetizer, main course, desert, wine and water (plus in most cases bread with tomato). However, for 20 euros per person we had a total feast, plus it was a Thursday so we paid a little bit more and got the seafood paella (Thursdays is usually paella day for them and at other restaurants as well). Simply amazing the amount of food and the quality of all we got. Happy me I got a to-go box (even if I had to deal with the embarrassment of my brother, not used to take leftovers home, as it is still not well considered in Spain). Everything we ate was excellent, including an awesome red wine. The atmosphere is super chic, you feel like you are more in an Art Deco set of a movie than in a Mediterranean-Catalan style restaurant. Service was super attentive, fast, all dishes were hot, delicious, abundant and, definitively, to remember.

While on a visit to Barcelona found this tucked away gem from another Yelp reviewer. Decided to…read moregive it a shot. Most places here in Barcelona prefer reservations but as we walked around town we couldn't pick a time. We settled upon an early arrival and lucky for us they had a table inside. Not very many patrons at 6:30 PM so we were immediately seated, table for two. Of course a Sangria for me and a beer for my travel buddy! Cheers. The beer had a lemon citrusy flavor and my Sangria was flavorful, both were very good. We ordered Hummus and Calamari, excellent choices, plenty to share and both were delicious. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. Remember service is slower than in the U.S. and our waitperson was the only one handling both inside and outside (only 3 or 4 tables outside).

My first day in Barcelona and I googled great place to eat and stumbled on this absolute gem! Service was great! They speak English BTW The staff were friendly and very helpful! The food was some of the most amazing, fresh, delicious bites I've had. I ordered from the Tapas menu so I could get a taste of more flavors. The portions were much bigger than I imagined tapas being. These were my first! They created a great desire for more! It was hard deciding what to try. They had duck risotto on the daily special menu and I wanted it, but it was a full meal and I would only get to taste that. I will definitely be going back during my two week stay here in Barcelona! Hopefully I will get to try the duck risotto! Highly recommend!!

One staff spoke English, and provided to us an English menu which helped tremendously for our first dinner in Spain. This staff alone was super friendly, fun, and kind to us while we're figuring out the type of dinner to enjoy in Spain. I have no idea how the chefs do it, but two chefs were able to cook an incredible variety of dishes all super delicious and well. We ordered calamari (the most tender fried calamari I've ever HAD), fried veal, pig ears, patatas bravas, and paella. Everything was super delicious and we had a wonderful time. They take VISA so it was easy to close our tab as well.

We wanted to go back to Capet for dinner on our last night in Barcelona, but sadly, they are closed on Mondays. We sat on the upper level overlooking the downstairs dining area. Our server was friendly and understanding about the fact that we don't speak Spanish. The food was amazing. Here's what we had: -- Chicken croquette with kimchi (the best version of croquette we had in Spain; would have been happy just ordering more and noshing on these for dinner...so good!) -- Catalan tomato bread (the best version we had in Spain) -- Scallops with potato salad a yellow pepper sauce and coriander gelatin -- Grilled hake with cream of ortiguilla, leek and pine nuts -- Angus beef with red wine sauce, tender garlic, radish and Kale cabbage Two thumbs-up for Capet. If we ever find ourselves in Barcelona again, we will definitely be eating here!

At least on Yelp, my review is the first one for La Yaya Amelia in about 3 years. TripAdvisor has…read moreonly one since July 2020. Somewhere in the middle is a 1-2 year period where parts of Spain's community was shut down because of COVID or restricted in one way or the other. We were in Spain during May-June of this year and witnessed various businesses that were no more or maybe still hanging on my a thread. Our recent experience at La Yaya Amelia seemed to suggest the latter. La Yaya Amelia was recommended by our Hotel (1882) and was an easy couple block walk. We made a reservation, but as it turned out we were the only customers during our time there. This seems more like a locals place and it's corner neighborhood location would be hard to attract tourists, unless it were some hot foodie destination. On a side note, the owner's cute little dog charmed my wife, the shelter volunteer. At the beginning, the dog was wandering around and Gayle wasn't sure if he/she had a person. I looked up and told her that we can't the dog back with us to the USA. Her answer (and this wasn't her first dog siting in Spain) was that she'd already done the research and she agreed that it would be almost impossible to do so. But she still stayed on the case until she confirmed that it was indeed the owner's dog. La Yaya Amelia may not be the Catalan version of the French Laundry, but it was a damn fine place to eat. We both ordered off the "specials" list, me choosing steak and Gayle opting for fish. Add wine, bread, homemade dessert, and expresso, we left full and happy. Our service was great, yet the guy running the place seemed a little worn out and sad, as we were the business so far in the evening. So, if anyone is reading this review right now and you're thinking of Lunch or Dinner in the Sagrada Familia area, what are you waiting for?
