Service is exceptional. Food was excellent. We had peppers, paella and fried bread for dessert, shared a bottle of excellent Catalan rose. Steps from the Picasso museum. Intimate and cozy. read more

Literally amazing!! Ordered the squid ink paella 10/10. The ambiance was excellent every corner had art they don't miss any details. The service was fast even though they get busy. It feels very fancy for a great price. The drinks were good. read more

Had a quick lunch here before our visit to the Picasso Museum. Food was awesome. We had tapas, fried aubergine with honey, pork cheeks (lower right I believe) and tomato bread. My wife had a tinto de verano. I just had vino tinto. Great food and service. read more

One of the best meals we had in Barcelona. We had a late lunch here on a rainy afternoon after a tour of the Palau de Música Catalana. We came on the tail end of lunch hour but even when we were the last ones in the restaurant, we never felt rushed. The restaurant has three different "sections." One section is along the wall and near the counter. The other two are divided by a wooden floor. We chose the section below (probably not good if you are claustrophobic), and felt like we were in an ancient inn with the low ceiling and occasional footsteps above us. The menu of the day was a DEAL. 3 delicious courses for 13€. With a few extra tapas, coffee after dinner, and an extra glass of wine, the total tab for three people was 65€. It was all hits and no misses with what we ordered. For the first course: noodles with sausage, chickpeas with sausage, and roasted eggplant with a bit of tomato sauce. For the second course: honeyed chicken and veal on toast with tomato and goat cheese. Our tapas: fried calamari with a bit of ink, olives, and a toast with truffle, ibérico, and me mental. Dessert was all house-made, from the flan to the fried bread to the light and moussey apple cheesecake. I recommend reservations! read more

One of the best tapa place in Barcelona, we are amazed by how delicious the food is. Will come back to try more on the menu

Tried it today because of the good reviews. prix fix lunch is now 15.40 euros. Had Catalonian soup which was a good beef broth with small meatballs, broken spaghetti pieces and overcooked carrots and celery. Chose baby octopus w brocollini for the main, which was a tiny portion with a very salty thick paste and a few slices of brocolli (not brocollini) end pieces. desert choices were sweet bread, a flat chocolate cake and ice cream. because I can't eat wheat (the cake looked good), I chose the ice cream which was a mediocre dixie cup- pre packaged ice cream w chocolate and vanilla. the interior was small and cozy, my waiter was unfriendly. oh well. read more

Delicious food and cozy atmosphere. Definitely recommend the cod and the pork cheek! Love it.

My son and I enjoyed an early morning breakfast at Nou Celler. Not many restaurants were open, so we were happy to stumble across Nou Celler. My son had a cheese, spinach, and mushroom omelette for 7.50€; I ordered an Iberico Spanish ham sandwich for 7.00€, and cafe con leche for 1.50€. The sandwich was so good, I ordered a second one. The service was friendly, the food was reasonably priced for the quality. read more

This restaurant was exactly what I imagined being that it was my first time in Barcelona. The atmosphere was charming and cozy. I absolutely loved the winter salad and the fresh vegetables. The ingredients were fresh and delicious! I can't wait to visit again! read more

After walking all day we decided to get an early dinner to refuel. Down an alley way near the Picasso museum we stumbled upon this cozy restaurant. As we we're reading the happy hour specials and menus outside a friendly server invited us in but we hesitated since there was nobody in the restaurant. Just about the same time another couple decided to go in and we followed. The inside is cozy with lots of dark wood beams, a sort of medieval stable look. There are separate tables and bench seating. We picked a couple of wines from the happy hour menu, a Cava and Rose both under 2 Euros per glass. They also had a multi course tapas happy hour special for $18 which I ordered. My wife wanted to try paella since all we had for 3 days were.tapas. The tapas were very good, especially the stuffed eggplant, similar in taste to stuffed grape leaves, cheese assortment was excellent Patas bravas we're also very good but by that time I was already stuffed. As we begin eating our tapas a Canadian couple sat down next to us and we had a great time chatting with them. They we're in Barcelona for 2 Weeks and had eaten at this restaurant previously and wanted to have one more meal here before they returned home. They recommended a local red wine served at this restaurant which we all enjoyed. The paella was too salty but I do recommend the tapas and drinks. read more

After our visit of the Museu Picasso, we found this Restaurant just a street away. From outside it looked ok, and the prices were expensive but not out of scope. The service was quick and we got seated in a lower area on rustic wooden furniture. All in all did not look too bad. The food was a disaster. We ordered the Tapas Menu as we thought this could be a good idea. To make long talk short - WE ALL GOT SICK. It seems the ingredients of some of the dishes were past their time and our kids got a serious food intoxication with all the things that come with such. Very, very bad. No return here and we will give an information to the Health Authorities in Barcelona. read more

Comfy restaurant located in el born. We were greeted by enthusiastic wait staff. After finding tapas tourist traps everywhere we looked, this was a refreshing find. I was able to finally try an authentic Catalan dish - Catalan chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly and served with tasty vegetables on the side. The sauce complemented the meal well. Of course we started the evening with pan con tomate! Cool old world decor inside. It was a nice evening out. read more

OMG. You know I don't normally post food but this is the remains of the best salad I have ever had in my life. A Catalan dish of Caramelized goat cheese on a bed of lovely greens with jellied quince pomegranate seeds sunflower seeds tomatoes. To die for! Of course with crusty bread. And of course the wait staff was fab. Best meal while in Barcelona. read more

Will edit this and add photos later but this was an excellent place I stumbled into after the Picasso museum! (Very closeby) Get the eggplant fries!! And the Catalan chicken was very good too. You can hear the chef cooking, one of the few places in the city where the food tasted super fresh and hot off the pan. read more

Delicious - got the tomato bread, prawn in garlic oil, and anchovies "boquerones" which were all amazing. Seems very rustic and seems authentic. Almost didn't try it but glad we walked in - the tapas and sangria were delicious! read more

I was staying in the trendy Born neighbourhood of Barcelona, and decided I'd try a restaurant which had not been reviewed yet on Yelp, so I happened upon Nou Cellar after getting lost on one of the many windy small streets. The restaurant itself has a warm, welcoming feel to it. The waiter who served me spoke English, though the service here wasn't anything particularly memorable. After claiming a table in the lower section of the restaurant (which turned out to be 'just' safe, considering the rafters were only an inch above my 6'3" frame), I asked for a glass of Sangria and a Catalan Omelette to start, and the Paella for a main. Lets start with the Sangria - someone told me after my visit that if a place served you Sangria by the glass, it most likely came out of a carton. This definitely didn't taste like it had been freshly made (but still cost a few Euros). The omelette was.. and there's no really kind way of saying this.. dull. Probably the most boring omelette I've come across - it wasn't particularly large, didn't have many ingredients in it and was just.. boring. I don't know if that's just how a Catalan omelette is, but a little imagination could have gone a long way. And then the paella. Well, the rice was crunchy. Quite frankly, if you've not bothered to cook the rice for long enough, then the entire paella is going to be a write off. Disaster. I opted not to stick around for dessert. When the bill came, I noticed that IVA (the sales tax) wasn't included in the menu prices, and had been added on as extra on the bill. Note that this is also a pretty bad trick that the 'lesser quality' restaurants will try to pull on you in Spain. Overall, steer clear. Born has many other much nicer restaurants to try out. read more

I can here twice during my stay in Barcelona. I hadn't had an omelette in 2 weeks since leaving Cali and it was just what the doctor ordered. They call it a tortilla -- and it's made with what you like. Options include spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes or asparagus. Delish and great AM service! read more

Nou Celler - Best omelet and bread in the neighborhood! The coffee is legit too. - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

Very good food, great prices. Very tasty. A great place to find a good deal in the gothic quarter. The chef has home cook dishes with fantastic flavor. Do not miss it. read more

Very traditional Spanish, easy and yummy. The sangria was perfect and I was a big fan of the Spanish Omelette with the romesca sauce. The spinach with bacon was also good and I would order both again. read more

Pretty mediocre quality of food and service. I'm surprised by the good reviews. Two of the tapas we ordered were not fresh and good, the mussels were probably past their expiration date and we did not take the risk of trying them. The interior is touristic and lacks authenticity. There's a tapas combo menu for tourists, which is probably a bad sign we should have recognized from the start. There's plenty of better tapas bar in the area read more

I went here with my family last week and LOVED this place. Amazing food, cozy atmosphere, and super affordable. I had a 3 course meal and a drink for only 11.80 euro! I actually thought it was a mistake but NO it's that GOOD. If you're looking for good Catalonian food in a nice area, and you're rolling on a budget than hit this place up. read more

I have never written a review on Yelp but have been an avid user for 3 years. This restaurant was so good I had to write a review. My girl friend and I had the Bacalao and the Salmon with Asparagus and I am stunned. I've never had better cod in my life and the salmon just melted in our mouths (we love to share our food). Seriously this chef is incredibly talented and this is my suggestion to all my friends when they come to Barcelona. read more

Wonderful restaurant, so much more than a Tapas bar. Down-to-earth, honest, and typical local cuisine at moderate prices. Very friendly and helpful staff too. The menu is also available in English, which comes in handy for those of us who do not speak Catalan :-) read more

Can't believe we've been living in the apartment upstairs for three weeks and just tried this place today. It's wonderful. We split the tapas menu for 16.50€ and meatballs, 5€, with beer and water for 28€. Each of the eight tapas in the menu was impressive, highlights being the mussels, the gazpacho w shrimp, the asparagus omelet - each thing was full of flavor, different textures, and plenty for two. Now I read they serve breakfast??!! Oh. read more

Found this last year and came back this year! Service is warm and hospitable and sincere! Food is excellent! Tried their daily specials of chorizo, gambas, patatas bravas, calamari so goood! read more

Great restaurant in an area overrun by tourist traps. The wine was heavenly and accompanied our tapas perfectly.

Nou Celler was by far the best restaurant I had the pleasure of visiting in Barcelona. While enjoying a romantic stay with my girlfriend, we got a taste of authentic Catalan food. The service was great as the entire staff was friendly. Much like other spots in the city, they were able to accommodate English speaking travelers like ourselves (although I made an effort to try out my Spanish the entire meal). Overall, the food was great and it helped contribute to our great experience! read more

In summer of 2009, I went to visit one of my friends who was living in Barcelona. Somehow, we randomly stumbled upon this quaint restaurant and boy, I'm so happy we did. To this day (seven years later), I still remember how remarkably delicious the food was; I had the octopus dish and it was cooked to perfection. Since then, I've been to a lot of restaurants and still haven't found a place with comparable food. If the chef is still there, I'd like to say, thank you for giving my friends and I such an extraordinary culinary experience. read more

Little gem. Good staff speaking English. Great service. Delisioso tapas. Provided good dining experience.

Cosy restaurant with waiters trying hard but the problem is in the kitchen. The food is not good. Too bad, this could be a nice spot if the cook was doing a better job. read more

Its ok ... So we stopped by the Picasso Museum and we found what we thought was a little gem. Ok, so at 13.99 Euro per person, we thought, hey that's not bad and in we go. Waited at the bar for about 30-45 minutes, my vino cost about 3 Euro which is a pretty small goblet glass. When we finally got seated, we pretty much got served right away. Their fried anchovies were good, the stewed baby octopus doesn't really cut our taste. But its not it that made us dock 2 stars. Its the wait and they forgot to give us a squid dish that we ordered for appetizer. Server said that its because we're busy and we dont have time to check what dishes comes out - not a good answer (period) coming from someone who is a old time fine dining server. Anyway, my food got out cold, so I had it re-heated. All in all, its an "ok" experience. I'm sure its a good hit for the locals since some of the restaurant are all spread out, but I wont make the effort to come back here. Its hard enough to find any restaurant in Born. I'm sure other patrons will have a better experience - but not us. read more

After looking for a good tapas place following our visit at el Museo de Picasso, we saw this little place. It looked cute and cozy so we decided to check it out. Once we got inside we decided to sit down stairs in the cellar which was a nice ambiance. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. We ordered various tapas and wine. The tapas were all terrific except for the calamari rings which were too large and chewy for me. The house wine was low in cost and great! I'm hoping to go back again before I leave Barcelona and would recommend it 100%! read more

Great little place with old world style situated in Born. Came here for coffee and something small to eat and fell in love with the ambiance and friendliness of the place. Wish we could have stayed longer, this place would have been a great choice for a meal. read more

Excellent service, the waiters speak English and they have separate English menus. I ordered the Spanish omelet, gazpacho, patatas bravas, grilled calamari, tomato toast, and Sangria. Everything tasted pretty good except the calamari- tasted a little weird. The waiter even brought us shots of a sweet alcohol free of charge at the end of our dinner. Would come back here again. read more
