    Beautiful decor!
    Toma T.

    We visited Pepito while visiting Barcelona after a local person recommended it to us and we enjoyed our visit immensely. This place is close to all local attractions but it's a bit tacked away, which makes it a perfect spot for locals and not very known to tourists. The interior decor was stunning and the service was excellent. We enjoyed every dish we tried. We were a party of eight which meant we ordered a lot of food and tasted several different dishes. The ribeyes were amazing and my ceviche and raviolis were perfect. This place is very reasonably priced for the quality of food they serve. I highly recommend Pepito and we will definitely return for more meals.

    We had a great time at Pepito! We popped in for dinner after arriving from a long flight. The staff was very friendly and the explained the menu to us so that we knew exactly what to order for our family. The drinks and food were also really good! The Ribeye for 2 is a must!

    Baked Picaton - baked chicken

    Swung in for an early lunch (1pm) and luckily we did because by 2pm the place was filled. The space is fancy and more upscale, and while I'd normally prefer more low key spots as a tourist, my group was borderline hangry and we can't have that. Staff were friendly and spoke Spanish and some French to my French colleague. In terms of food, it was more spanish and less tapas so no sharing dishes. We ordered: * Mushroom croquettes to share - I'm not a mushroom fan but these were fantastic. So rich in flavor and super creamy. * They're known for their meat dishes so look at the black section of their menu. * I ordered the Bass (I'm pregnant so there's a lot I can't have right now), but it was delicious. Perfectly cooked, I'd order this again even if I'm not pregnant. * Someone in my group ordered the salmon tartar and said it was good. * Most everyone ordered the Baked Picaton - baked chicken. You get a whole chicken that's about the size of a smaller cornish hen. They all raved about it. Otherwise they take card or cash, just make sure you call them over to pay as they won't come back to check on you otherwise like they do in the US.

    We made reservations for our party of 6. Our waiter was attentive and spoke English. The steak comes out with a hot stone so you can cook it to your desired temperature. The cheese reminded me of the cooked cheese in Greece. Everything was fantastic.

    Off the beaten path in Gracia and absolutely delicious. Think a warm and cozy yet elegant atmosphere. I came alone for lunch on a rainy day. Expect excellent, fine-dining service and food! I must have come at the perfect time because the restaurant was empty when I entered but was full before I left. Since I was dining alone, they allowed me to order smaller portions! This made me so happy! I started with their mushroom croquettes, then I had the scallop special, and finally the burger. Everything was delicious! From start to finish, my experience here was excellent. Every seat in the house offered beautiful scenery. I'm writing this review months after dining here and am still raving about the excellent service. I will be back and will definitely visit Pepito again! No doubt, I would recommend you do the same! Enjoy and when in Spain, drink the cava!

    Black Tagliatelle lobster
    Catharine S.

    Probably one of the more expensive restaurants that we went to that was pretty casual. We walked right in for lunch and got seated right away. It's definitely very nicely decorated. We ordered the black tagliatelle & lobster and the sandwich with ham and eggs. The tagliatelle was really good but the portion was pretty small. The sandwich was okay- it was a bit hard to eat because I think the bread was way too toasted so it kept breaking every time I bit it. I had to use my fork and knife to but it after a couple of bites.

    Crème brûlée
    Gigi L.

    We didn't have a reservation but we got there decently early for dinner and got a spot. The service was very slow. The food was alright too. The mushroom coquettes were great! The black rice dish with seafood was good in an average way and the steak tartare was not a favorite 3/10. The crème brûlée was like a 7/10. Some of the other food looked great though, maybe we ordered the wrong things? Kinda disappointed with this dinner. And we were there for over 2 hours because service was slow and no one was coming to check on us.

    I visited Pepito this last week because some friends told me that it's a MUST! And to be honest, it was amazing. I tasted 2 starters, 2 main dishes and 1 dessert with my friend and I have to admit that everything was AMAZING. We ordered the Festival de Chips Vegetales (different kinds of home-made chips served with guacamole and babaganoush), Calamares (stuffed with saffron rice), a delicious Salmon Tartar and my favourite, a Sirloin steak with potatoes and mushrooms. I'm addicted to chocolate so we ordered the 5 Texturas de Chocolate (5 chocolate textures). I don't have words to describe it! In addition, the service was very nice and helpful, suggesting the best choices depending on our taste. The decoration is cozy, chic and charming, combining different stiles with retro, classic and industrial influences.

    Aged steak for 2. So good
    Jessica S.

    Food was soo good. Staff was amazing. Our waiter, Elmer was really good. We had the aged steak. It was the best steak we had ever had. To top it off, they surprised us with a desert for our one year anniversary. How nice! We had such a lovely time and I highly recommend going there.

    Fantastic classy place with great wine & delicious Spanish dishes.

    Fantastic classy place with great wine & delicious Spanish dishes. I recommend to choose one dish from each of their buckets on the menu. I also recommend their Spanish style crème brûlée

    Great food, great price and excellent atmosphere .. located in a little alley this place was perfect for what we wanted .. light lunch .. so we had rocket salsa.. lobster pasta and mushroom croquettes.

    Scallops. Great sauce and purée topped with crispy ham. Scallops were too small but great taste with all of the elements.

    It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

    Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

Our server, Amaya, was funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took great care of us, and every single recommendation he made was delicious. I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona!

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside. The interior is a bit on the smaller side, but it's quite bright with a lot of natural sunlight inside. For the food, I decided to get squid, codfish with honey allioli, and iberian ham montaditos. While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!

The service was excellent, our server spoke English and knew so much about American pop culture. He even sang NSYNC songs to us while serving us dishes. As for the food let's get into it: - Lobster Croquettes (8/10) We've had a lot of croquettes this trip, but these were on another level, get one per person. - Paella (7.5/10) Different style of paella from other places we went. It was almost like a paella curry, which was still rich and delicious. - Squid Sandwich (10/10) This is hands down the best appetizer I've ever had. The squid was packed with flavor and the mayo sauce they used paired perfectly. Order one per person, and be prepared to order another to go. - Garlic Shrimp (8/10) Solid entree paired with sourdough bread. Dip that bread into the sauce and you'll be satisfied. - Aged Beef Steak w/ Foie Gras (9/10) This might be one of the best steak dishes I've had traveling abroad. It was cooked perfectly, and came with a potato crust on the bottom and Foie Gras on top. Definitely a must order. Overall a great experience, from the service and ambiance to the quality of the food, this is a must try when visiting Barcelona. Would I go again? Absolutely!

You get to see all the 'action' and interact with the friendly and often funny staff. Everything in the menu we tried was fantastic, but a few standouts for me were the squid sandwich (do yourself a favor and try it, even if you aren't a "squid person" the bread is fresh, and the butter garlic sauce they use should be sold in bottles at the supermarket), the lobster croquet was refreshing, and the aged beef steak with foie and truffle sauce was delicious and cooked to perfection.
