Morelia was good, but maybe a little overpriced. We were starving and this place had seating available (outdoor seating too). I ordered a burger and it was really good, but I didn't like the type of fries it came with (too thick). My friend ordered an empanada as well as some cheese and papas bravas, and they were all just okay. If I could give it a rating, it would be 3.5 stars, because it is better than average but not 4 star worthy in my opinion. read more

I didn't love it. The menu is all over the place - they have a few tapas, and then goes into Italy with pasta and risotto, then travels to Mexico with guacamole. This would be fine if the food was fantastic, but I didn't think it was. I tried the patatas bravas, which were kinda dry and I've definitely had better, the fried squid, which was extremely fishy tasting, an empanada which was just okay, and a salad which was tasty but overdressed. The service was nice and I loved the patio where we sat outside. But for me the food left something to be desired. read more

A cozy restaurant in the heart of the Born district in Barcelona. The missus and I elected to sit on the patio and ordered two small tapas to go with our drinks after a day of work. We enjoyed the ham croquettes and a chicken empanada that was tasty. Nothing absolutely blew us away, but the service was very strong and we'd return if given the opportunity. read more

What a lovely restaurant! On a walking tour of Barcelona, my friends and I were told that almost every restaurant in the city is required to have a plat du jour/dish of the day - 2 courses, dessert, and a drink for a reasonable price. We liked the idea of this, so we decided to stop at the first place we saw with such a deal. I'm so glad Morelia was that place! Service was quick and friendly. For my two courses, I got an empanada with caramelized onions, goat cheese, and nuts (absolutely delicious) and linguini with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil (also so tasty). For dessert, the options were strawberry ice cream, yogurt, or coffee, so I opted for an americano. Everything tasted amazing and it was all for the extremely reasonable price of €13.50. If I lived in this city, I would return here again and again - I've already recommended it to a friend. read more

Stopped for lunch while exploring Barcelona. Ordered tapas grilled ham & cheese (note for Americans, this is NOT a sandwich, it is literally a bowl of melted cheese with ham bits), potato fries, risotto verde, San Miguel beer, morelia salad, and mint vodka drink. Risotto, morelia salad, and mint vodka drink were the standouts. Risotto was creamy with a nice balance of vegetables. Morelia salad featured glazed pears with some bitter notes from the greens. The mint vodka drink was refreshing and had lime notes too. Needed to be regularly stirred to keep flavors from separating. Ate outdoors and enjoyed the buskers and people watching on the busy square. Service was prompt though a bit snobbish. read more

Food is wonderful and very well presented! Staff is super helpful and very attentive. Atmosphere is a plus for a night out or with the family. Overall a great place! read more

We live in the area and eat here at least twice a month. Good Argentine cuisine. No truly great dishes, but everything is good. Very reasonable prices for the quality. read more

This was a delightful dinner: a combination of Argentine steak house and Italian trattoria! The night began by being taken for a ride by our taxi driver, and then upon arrival learning that the restaurant was unaware of our reservation. But everything worked out fine in the end. We started with an amuse bouche of breadsticks and a good hummus dip. I followed this with an excellent lean Veal Carpaccio, and equally excellent Fried Provoleta Cheese with Serrano Ham. I also sampled good and crisp homemade potato chips and sumptuous and moist Millefleur Potatoes that were rich and cheesy. A Filet was very tasty and medium rare as ordered, but it could have used more Gorgonzola Sauce. Offered rolls were cold and hard, but we were too full so didn't taste them. Service was very good. And the ambiance was sleek but cozy. We each politely declined a complimentary shot at meal's end. If I lived in Barcelona, I would surely eat here again. And, if I return, I will remember this little place with a strong creative hand in the kitchen. 4-1/2 stars overall! read more

Beautifully appointed, modern, trendy restaurant in the Born neighborhood. On our last evening we decided to celebrate with our friends, Argentine expats living in Barcelona, with some traditional Argentine fare. We started with appetizers, Provoleta, usually grilled, similar to Haloumi, but served here in a clay cassoulet, with chimichurri or sun-dried tomatoes, was a big hit at the table. The Empanada de Pollo, was tasty and savory, and warm goodness filling your stomach. Parrillada, again, not served on the traditional tabletop hibachi grill, but plated. Tasty, and grilled, as ordered. Tagliatele con Camarones, beautiful dish, generous pasta and prawn portions, stacked in a shallow bowl, almost too pretty to eat. Almost... Ravioli de Espinaca con Bolognese, this is the one dish that disappointed, Argentines are very particular with their pasta, and this just didn't meet the expectations. Sorry guys, it just doesn't do it for this crowd. Entrana, I don't like my meat rare. In fact, anything more than a sliver of pink showing through my steak, is too much for me. And why do servers constantly argue with me for this? I don't care if its' the 'proper' way to enjoy meat or not. I like my meat well done. While the portion was generous, and the cooked part, delicious, it wasn't cooked through and I left about a third of it behind. Restaurant staff, please listen to your patrons, it will be much better for everyone involved. Cuba Libre con Havana 3 Rum, and Pineapple juice with Havana 3 Rum. I wish we could purchase Havana 3 Rum in the US. This Cuban spirit was smooth. Very smooth. It would do well stateside, especially with the current craze for Rum drinks. The prices match the locale and the neighborhood, so be ready. Go for the meat dishes, stay away from the pasta. And have plenty of rum. Buen provecho! read more

We were here for two dinners of four nights during our Barcelona stay(4/2 and 6/2). What a find this place turned out to be in El Born! Do not worry, Fernando and the staff can speak English and help explain anything to you! It is situated with one entrance to Placa Comercial and the other on Carrer Rec. How inviting is that! It is a short walk from Les Rambles, Via Laietana, Parc Ciutatella, or Placa St. Jaume. The service is great as the staff(Fernando and others) makes sure that you are well-cared. There is no rush and the food and drinks selection are great. I will not focus much on the drinks here as I am not versed in that. But being from New York, I can vouch, I have tried a lot of food and this place has great Latino/ South American food. In my first visit, we ordered the molleja de ternera, pork tenderloin with bacon, and the Veal Milanesa for the main dishes. The sides/appetizers that were ordered for both visits were Chipirones and the Argentinian sandwich. All very yummy! Our second visit, we had two salmon entrees and the Entrana steak. These three were great too! Everything we had here was wonderful and you can take a look at the photos that I have attached. Fernando and the staff were really hospitable in both of our visits. Not to mention, the prices were really reasonable and cheaper than those that you would see around Les Rambles. So explore a little bit and be adventurous as this treasure in Morelia is waiting for you to find! Will be back here; thanks for everything Fernando and Morelia! :D Estuvimos aquí por dos cenas de cuatro noches durante nuestra estancia en Barcelona (4/2 y 6/2). ¡Qué hallazgo resultó ser este lugar en El Born! ¡No se preocupe, Fernando y el personal pueden hablar inglés y ayudar a explicar cualquier cosa para usted! Está situado con una entrada a Placa Comercial y la otra en la calle Rec. ¡Qué atractivo es eso! Se encuentra a pocos pasos de Les Rambles, Via Laietana, Parc Ciutatella o la Plaça St. Jaume. El servicio es excelente ya que el personal (Fernando y otros) se asegura de que esté bien atendido. No hay prisa y la selección de comida y bebida son geniales. No me enfocaré mucho en las bebidas aquí, ya que no estoy versado en eso. Pero al ser de Nueva York, puedo responder, he probado mucha comida y este lugar tiene buena comida latina / sudamericana. En mi primera visita, pedimos la molleja de ternera, lomo de cerdo con tocino, y la ternera Milanesa para los platos principales. Los lados / aperitivos que se ordenaron para ambas visitas fueron Chipirones y el sándwich argentino. Todo muy rico! Nuestra segunda visita, tuvimos dos entrantes de salmón y el bistec Entrana. ¡Estos tres también fueron geniales! Todo lo que teníamos aquí era maravilloso y puedes echar un vistazo a las fotos que he adjuntado. Fernando y el personal fueron realmente hospitalarios en nuestras dos visitas. Sin mencionar, los precios eran realmente razonables y más baratos que los que verías en Les Rambles. ¡Así que explore un poco y sea aventurero como este tesoro en Morelia lo está esperando! Estaré de regreso aquí; gracias por todo Fernando y Morelia! :D read more

A lovely menu del dia, with a nice selection of first and second courses. The soup of the day was flavorful, and the sausage with fries very nice. The risotto with vegetables was so good! We ate outside and watched people including tour groups headed into the El Born CCM. read more

Had two lunches here and both occasions were wonderful. The service was efficient and friendly and the food was really delicious. We had pasta dishes, empanadas, and different salads on the two visits. Everything was simple but so flavorful. The ingredients are fresh and quality making for the most beautiful food. The icing on the cake and probably the most delicious dessert we ate on our 2 month stay in Barcelona, was the Morelia tiramisu. Get it! Not the traditional one, their special one with caramel. Wow! I hope to be back in Barcelona and will certainly come make a return visit to Morelia! read more

Best recommendation ever! Our concierge told us about this place and we are so happy that he did. Their specialty is Argentinian steak, which was tender and delicious as were the empanadas. All the food we tried here was utterly delectable and our evening here was one of the best we had in Barcelona. We left feeling extremely happy and danced off on Food Cloud Nine. The service was also very friendly and warm too. This was a really satisfying and delicious meal and I would recommend this wholeheartedly. read more

It's a GEM, the service was great and the food was amazing. Try the empanadas and steak. Also we tried the Capri Salad and it was great. And for desert we had the the tiramisu a. No regrets here, if you go tell the waiter Fernando I said hello. read more

SO delicious! Great considerate service. Location is fabulous for people watching and enjoying the activity of an active plaza. Had a veal dish and my husband enjoyed a hamburger dish. There are so many cafes and restaurants to chose from but if you want to seriously relax and enjoy a delicious meal, I would highly recommend Morelia. Also had helados afterwards. Yumm! read more

Had a great dinner here last night with friends. One has been living here for a year now and this is one of his favorite restaurants in town, so we were happy to try it out. Even though Barcelonians are calling this weather cold (it's in the 70s, even at night - that is not cold), we sat outside. Our waitress was adorable, the malbec hit the spot, and the food was delicious. The empanadas and provoleta were fantastic (seriously get the provoleta - it's like pizza without the carbs), and the antipasto platter is huge. The ensalada Morelia, with duck ham, avocado and pear, was really good as well. read more

We came here on Christmas to have just a quick snack, nachos and potato's. Since my partner and I are vegan we thought those would be a safe options.. apparently not. We asked for the nachos to have no cheese since we are vegan... and they spoke good English and understood. The nachos chips were cheese flavoured Doritos... and the potato's came out smothered in mayonnaise.... despite the fact we stated we are vegan.. the staff were very unfriendly and rude. What we did eat was very below average food and it was over priced. Do not suggest anyone to eat here. Very disappointing. read more

What a great place! The moment we walked in, we could sense a good vibe about the place. The staff was friendly, the food (and cocktails) were great, and the decor was a nice change of pace from the other places in Barcelona we visited. We had the Filet Mignon, Pork Tenderloin, and our 9 year old had the pork ribs. Everything was gone at the end. Our 9 year old even ate the empañadas! Unfortunately, we headed back home to the US, but wanted to give this place great reviews. They deserve it. read more

our first dinner in Barcelona. i wasnt that hungry so i just got a warm goat cheese and arugula salad - it was amazing. Hubby got pasta - he loved it. and they brought us yummy little teaser samplings of their soup of the day, which was delicious. great service, cool vibe and sweet locale. read more

Stopped for a quick noshing. Ordered a grilled provolone with Iberian ham assuming it was a sandwich, but it was simply cheese melted in a dish and topped with the ham. Not that it was bad, but it was not exactly a meal and it was very one-note (salty). The date ordered an empanada (with caramelized onions, goat cheese, and nuts) and grilled vegetables with romesco (asparagus, mushrooms, pearl onions, red pepper, tomato, zucchini, eggplant). All of it was plain but sound and good. We washed it down with more sangria. read more

This place was gross. The fresh salad came with wilted spinach and the shrimp was far from clean. I told the staff I hated the salad and they asked me if I didn't like spinach. When I asked for the bill a different server added cafe to my bill. When he saw my empty glass he thought it was another drink. That's how little attention they paid to me. It was 17 euros for my coke and salad. What a waste. So frustrated. Don't bother here. read more

Good food, decent service. The Malbec was excellent. Went here for a lunch and it was a bit dead, but looks like it would be a great evening option. They have a charcoal grill in the kitchen and it smells great when you enter. read more

Actually an Argentinian/Mediterranean place, but who am I to judge. Anyway, one of the best meats around Born and definitely very good atmosphere and service. Two entrances (one from Comerç and one from Rec). Go now, thank me later. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant on our first evening in Barcelona and it was amazing! After a long day of traveling it hit the spot. The appetizers, entrees, drinks and dessert were all excellent. The quaint modern atmosphere was hip yet relaxing. The staff was attentive and accommodating. We loved everything about this place! read more
