    Gambas with Garlic  Patatas bravas with a kick
    Jean-Charles N.

    The food was really tasty Highly recommend the garlic shrimps, the patatas bravas were amazing too. A bit too much mayo on top though Their fried chicken was really good too And service was friendly and quick

    We knew it was going to be average and over priced but made the decision to still stop by because I wanted to enjoy the hustle bustle of the plaza and the sunshine and this looked like a good spot to do it from . We opted to sit outside but the indoor space is huge and has a very grandiose vibe. Ordered the Spanish omelet , Croquettes and Sangrias . The Sangria was the worst that we had during the whole trip but the food was alright . Service is average .Definitely a tourist trap kinda place .

    Where can I add another star because this gems deserve 6 stars. The server helped us, by describing the menu, because it was our first time in Barcelona. The food was tasty , flavored and a lot of choices in the menu. We had the best paella, the paella negro and the paella with shrimps . We paired the food with a nice red bottle of wine. We were outside at the plaza, good music, good view. I will come back for sure

    I was looking for a paella on a patio and happily found this spot at the Royal Plaza. Great pre-fixe lunch for 15 euros. Still cannot believe the quantity of food. The burrata salad was exactly what I've been waiting for. Creamy silky texture drizzled with basil infused olive oil. The paella had good flavor but could use more seafood but at this price who can complain. Came with a beverage and dessert. I rolled myself out and enjoyed my parting meal.

    Ocaña is a hip tapas styled restaurant in the heart of Las Ramblas. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, but can be a tad bit dark if you're eating there late. We arrived at 11:30 to be seated for dinner (pretty late), and were surprised that the kitchen was still open. We ordered a variety of tapas that included the pan con tomate, shishito peppers, patatas bravas, risotto with filet, bbq pork ribs, and another potato and egg dish that I don't remember the name of. They also have some great drink options, which are on the strong side! One of my favorites of the night was the patatas bravas. It had a yummy sauce (not sure what kind) that led me going back for more. The pork ribs were also dynamite! The meat was so tender and fell right off the bone. Probably one of the best I've had. The risotto and filet was disappointing. The fillet was crying out for salt, while the risotto was very underdone and hard to eat. They have a downstairs section with live music and a lounge. Overall I would recommend this place. They seem to stick with more of a traditional Spanish style cuisine, and it doesn't seem to be too much of a tourist trap like other restaurants in Las Ramblas.

    Arroz de la senyoreta con cigala

    Excellent place to drink and eat after walking the Gothic Quarter. Their paella arroz de la Senyoreta was fantastic! We shared with 3 people. We almost ordered a second serving . Our waitress Katelina was so lovely and helpful. She was patient and answered all our questions with a smile.

    Located in Plaça Reial which is a stone paved plaza with a fountain, palm trees, benches, numerous cafes and restaurants. This was rated #1 and our family agrees! Great food!!!

    Definitely a little tourist trappy. Thought what else can you say when it's in the heart of Las Ramblas. The food was good, but nothing outstanding. The service was as expected for a touristy place.

    Patatas bravas
    Ashley W.

    Love this place and the ambiance! They have a great band that plays during dinner. I went on a Saturday​ where they have weekly artists this week they had a DJ that played great mixes and original​ beats; this is held downstairs in the lounge. Food was amazing, ordered the patatas bravas, a delicious salad, ​and their hummus​ is incredible. Great people and great experience!

    We came to Ocaña for a private event - rehearsal dinner. We had a great private room and the decor was gorgeous. Loved the ambiance and it felt very romantic. The service was friendly and the drinks strong. I would recommend this for a special event. I really love their strawberry dessert and the fried prawns.

    Rita was sitting at the table behind me and she would NOT leave me alone!

    Although I would typically suggest venturing a little further off of Las Ramblas for a nice experience, I will make an exception for Ocaña. To find the restaurant, you have to enter the square called Plaça Reial. You can dine al fresco or in one of their old yet sleek dinning rooms. The matre d was a very statuesque and flirty transvestite. She was quite the charmer. After he had a wonderful tapas dinner complete with Spanish white wine, we went downstairs to their little lounge. The bar had a Morrocan feel to it with a small stage where a band played and later a dj. The lounge was neat for many reasons but also, it had no ceiling. It opened up to one of the first floor dinning rooms. Check their website for their entertainment calendar. Vamos!

    Not a bad place to fall upon

    Paradiso is one of the Top 50 Bars in the world and rightfully so! From the decor and service, to…read morethe unique cocktail menu, everything about this place was perfect. I came around 5pm on a Saturday, and it only took 20 minutes to get in. The bartenders were super friendly and spoke english which was a bonus. Their menu is constantly changing, so I forget the names of the drinks we ordered, but I also ordered a regular old fashion and they nailed it. I noticed another guest being a little rude to one of the bartenders. She was complaining about her drink so they made a new one, and another one after that. Had it been me, I probably would've gave up and asked them to leave lol, but they did not. Instead the opposite, which is very telling of the type of service you'll receive at this place. Overall this was my favorite cocktail bar in Spain, would I go again? Absolutely!

"How did they make this taste like that?" But for enjoying some twists on craft cocktail making? Not so great. Despite a wall full of both rare and classic bottles, most of what's featured on the menu is...eccentric at best. I had two after discussion with the bartender, and both were okay but not what I would enjoy drinking despite having a very broad palate. Although famously ranked by "50 best", this is a lot different than other cocktail bars on that list (I've visited quite a few of them), including the others in Barcelona. Perhaps having hit the number one spot before, they didn't know where to go from there? Nice staff but also missing was bartender banter (at least in English) I've found at most top bars - the bar experience is heavily about that interaction, especially for the solo customer. A positive - drinks are actually cheaper than fancy hotel bars in this city. What they offer *would* be great as a liquid tasting menu and I would return for that. But for full sized cocktails? Meh. Hence the 3 stars. Save it for a date or a "famous bars" crawl, but not for having delicious drinks that tickle the palate while getting the job done.

    Really enjoyed this bar and we can see why it's been named in the top 50 bars…read more The bartender was really engaging with the people which we enjoyed. The drinks were 8/10 The ambiance was generic but we had a good time. Definitely recommend trying it.

    Wow did we want to give this place 5 stars…read more The bartenders were great and welcoming and the decor was very cool. It is a pleasant place to be physically. All of the cocktails we tried were excellent (we had two more not featured on photos here). We went Sunday 4/19 around open (5pm ish until 7:30 ish). However, our experience was sort of ruined when a female employee came over and chided my wife and two other American patrons we were talking to for being too loud. They weren't being particularly loud and at this point we were the only four people sitting at the bar itself. She was not a bartender (at that time at least) and she completely ruined our vibe with this complaint. She had been eyeing one of the other American patrons we had been talking to before she came over and confronted my wife after she laughed. The bar tenders didn't seem to be aware this happened and when we were closing out they remarked they didn't think we had been loud and that they like their guests to have fun. This female employee apparently didn't get the memo! We sense that perhaps she just dislikes Americans, which would be rich for working at an establishment like this! She also had no issues when a dog other guests brought in barked loudly multiple times, each time silencing the entire bar because the barks were so booming. The other American couple felt the same way -- the stern talking to just ruined the experience for all four of us. So... great spot but our experience was unnecessarily tarnished by a jerk employee!!!
