The other customers were locals and judging by their interactions with the staff, plainly regulars. There was a small bar and about a dozen tables with a mix of Spanish and English music playing. The selection of liquor was good, and beer and wine choices weee excellent. The fresh meat and fish food ingredients were on display in refrigerated, glass cases on the bar top. The bartender was personable and went out of her way to connect me to the internet and a menu in English. I ordered the fried squid tentacles with a liter of the local draft beer, Estrella Damm, and finished with a Jack Daniels on the rocks. The price was very reasonable and much less than I would have expected. It was a great experience!

That was a great start to a delicious meal that everyone enjoyed. I wish I could have tried all the appetizers. In hindsight, this might be the way to go! The food and service were so on point that our group went back a second time (with a reservation) in our four days in Barcelona. This time we ordered the epic Chocolate Bonsai dessert to cap the meal. It had a satisfying amount of chocolate with textures and tastes that leave you wanting more. I shared this dessert... and wish I didn't The noise level was high but otherwise this one scores high on every aspect of the dining experience!

Everything is beautifully presented and they handled our large group with ease. Definitely make a reservation, especially if you've got a large group. They may not have a Michelin star, but they're as good as or better than any place I've been that has one. If you're in the main part of Barcelona, it can be a trek out here (it is SO worth it), but if you're staying by the convention center and its nearby shopping mall, it is an easy walk and I haven't found anything else in the area that comes close.

This place has amazing food that is made with comfort and care. All dishes were outstanding and I could not choose which dish I liked the most. We ordered tapas and paella. The staff was so friendly and hardworking. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and he has an amazing story on how this place started. The ambiance is cozy and surprising quite a bit of seating. I would definitely recommend this place and come back as soon as a I go back to Spain.

Gorgeous Cave-Like setting right in the heart of The Gothic Quarter. For food we got: - both Peach and Red Sangria's - maybe the best in Spain. 15 Euros so not cheap - Pan Con Tomate - first time having this dish -- great, - Iberian "Pluma" Acorn Fed Pork - so tender and amazing! - Cod (Bacalao) - perfectly baked I must give a shout out to our amazing waiter LUCAS who spoke excellent english and gave some perfect recommendations. We got here at 7:30 and it was quiet -- but quickly filled up and was totally full by 8:30. It's more expensive than most restaurants but for that you get quality service, superb food, linen napkins, and soft jazz music. We wanted to come again the next night but it was totally booked! Trip Advisor rates this as #57 (as of May 2026) but I think it should be in the top 10. Book a table early guys -- this restaurant will not disappoint you!

A far cry from the Sangria served in tourist spots, this is the real deal. BF loved the Island Sangria. Highly recommend Pluma Iberica for pork eaters. Served with a delicious peanut sauce. Lucas took excellent care of us. First class waiter. The restaurant is in what appears to be a cave. Delightful atmosphere. Very classy with linen napkins, etc. A little more expensive than some other local restaurants but worth it. Outstanding value. Be sure to reserve a table in advance.

We were looking for tapas near our AirBnB place. I didn't realize it was outdoor seating but it was…read morepleasant outside so no problem. We were a party of 4 so without asking they put 2 tables together. We were thirsty so they brought us our drinks pretty quickly. The waiter had no English and the head guy only had some. He came out and with virtually no Spanish we explained that one in out party was a vegetarian and we wanted tapas. He said he would pick for us and I gave the thumbs up. They brought out olives, a tomatoes and goat cheeses salad, chips and guacamole, cheese pizza, olives and boneless sardines, toast with cheese and bushutto, potatoes and cheese, toast jam and cheese, and a had brownish and cheese dish. Needless to say we were swamped with food and they only charged 25 euros. It was all good except the sardines were really salty. The potatoes with cheese isn't something I'd order again. Everything else I'd definitely order again. The only downside is it's a dog friendly park so there are flies. Also they don't take credit cards.
