The foie gras was absolutely unforgettable--rich, delicate, and simply to die for. The sangria was equally exceptional, fresh, balanced, and dangerously delicious. But what makes this place truly special is something that can't be captured on a menu. The atmosphere, the warmth, the way time seems to slow down... words simply can't do it justice. If you're visiting Barcelona, don't just come here for dinner. Come here to fall in love with the food, the city, the moment, or maybe even someone sitting across the table. An experience I'll never forget.

Well, the restaurant was cute and cozy with a great ambiance. With luck on our side, we found two seats at the bar and quickly ordered drinks. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria (because why not?). The sangria was delicious, refreshing, and made to order. It was definitely more authentic than what we're getting in America. We ordered the patatas bravas, tempura asparagus, the octopus, and the steak. It all came out as it became available. We couldn't decide what our favorite was, to be honest. We ordered an ice cream sandwich for dessert and quickly requested our bill. We didn't want to hold the staff up as we noticed they were cleaning the establishment and people were finishing up. Overall, what a great experience for our first meal in Barcelona! Cute and hidden gem.

We wanted something that felt more local and authentic and this place delivered. We stumbled in looking for a light lunch and a glass of wine. There were locals dining in the front room, no gimmicky photos outside, and it immediately felt like a good choice. We grabbed one of the barrel tables, and our server Francisco asked if we trusted him. Of course we said yes - and I'm so glad we did. He brought us a white wine I had never heard of, and it was excellent. Then he brought us a cheese to try that I didn't think I was going to like, but it was great too. I completely forgot to take photos before we started eating, so all I have is the aftermath - which probably says everything. The chicken wings were incredible and surprisingly boneless, which made them easy to eat. The tuna tartare was excellent, and we also had the tomato bread and olives. Super casual, great service, and the best food we've had so far in Barcelona. Exactly the kind of place we were hoping to find. Highly recommend.

Second trip back to Barcelona. Had to make the right restaurant choices for my favorite tapas…read moredishes. I was definitely right on the mark as all restaurants I've walked by before dinner wasn't as crowded as this. And this place had a line out the door. Pan con tomate (toasted bread with tomato spread) was done sooo right here because they used crisp brioche bread and the tomato spread had a nice balanced ratio of olive oil blended into it. The patatas bravas (brave potatoes) took me back to the first time I had this in 2018. Such good crisp skin, soft fluffiness and that aioli mayo signature sauce on top - I swear I feel they make their own sauce for this dish. Grilled octopus here is special as instead of a tentacle - you get a fatty piece with multiple cuts of the octopus. Even better just as you would get multiple pieces of fatty toro in an omakase. I just loved the ease of dining in Barcelona where you share small intricate flavored plates with a glass of wine to balance these dishes. It was a nice long but roomier restaurant in the back. Very deceptive to the eyes but in a good way. You get to see the chefs cook near you that makes you appreciate the work of art put into the food. And can't forget the oxtail dish that's uniquely in the form of a patty and broken up into shredded meats. Fabulous to everything.

And he wasn't wrong...so make sure you put it on your to do list. We got reservations in advance, as it's a pretty popular spot. Steak Tartare - this was some of the best I've had. Served with an egg yolk, but it didn't even need it. Tomato Bread - I just started ordering it everywhere I ate in Barcelona and never regretted it. Also get it to eat with the Steak Tartare Russian Salad - love this stuff, it's such a comfort food. Basically mix up some potato salad, and egg salad, throw in a few other things, served with a couple of bread sticks Burrata - oozing with creaminess, served on a bed of the sweetest tomatoes and tasty oil. Don't miss this. Salmon Tartare - Asian inspired with soy sauce, rice and avocado mousse. Patatas Bravas - they sure do like their spicy mayo on potatoes in Barcelona....when in Rome. Courgette Flowers - I do enjoy zucchini blossoms, they were lightly tempura'd with a melted mozzarella inside. Delicious. Deep Fried Young Onions - served with Romesco sauce, these were tasty, and nicely crisp batter, but the onion was a little hard to eat as it tended to be stringy while chewing. But I just think that's how the onion is, and it's something you should eat in Barcelona. Chunks of Garlic Beef Filet - another must order dish. Perfectly medium rare, bubbling away in garlic olive oil that smells wonderful. They brought us some more tomato bread to enjoy it with. Chocolate Ice Cream - simple and enjoyed the little chocolate pearls on top. Passion Fruit Mousse - loved this dish, not too sweet. Would totally get this again Catalan French Toast - impressed how we were trying many dishes, they insisted we tried this signature dessert. Glad we did.
