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. read more

Took a long time for the waitress to come over. The steak was very good. Desserts were bad. Tried a crème brûlée and was very soupy. Asked for the cheesecake instead. Cheesecake was very dry. Got charged for both. read more

Very nice restaurant our hotel recommend us. Perfect atmosphere for relaxing and having a great steak dinner. The music sets the tone and the lights perfectly dimmed. The beef fillet with foie was outstanding. Beef steak tartare was decent but I've had better, i didn't care for the potato chips on top and there wasn't enough toast points. Freddy our server was friendly and gave great service. Favorite appetizers were the provolone, omelette coulant and the burrata. We didn't have the desserts, but they looked fantastic. read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. The service was terrible. The attitude they had was one that said "I can't be bothered by you" or "I don't want to be here" The food was bland, and without flavor. It did came out fast though. Things got super weird weird when we asked for the check and paid, the waiter kept asking stuff that did not make sense to us and kept asking about contributions. Yeah, don't go there. This feels like a tourist trap. read more

Pepito - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

Excellent dinner. Wonderful family restaurant (Pepitos- we had Freddy & Jacqueline serving us). My husband ordered La Vaca Vieja (it was a perfectly cooked center cut filet mignon) and I ordered chicken. We also had a very tasty dessert and the wine by the glass was A+ (and we are picky wine drinkers). Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Pepito - Mushroom Croquettes were delicious - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Lovely spot with good food tucked in a quiet, unassuming alley street 1.5 blocks off Passeig de Gràcia. I visited after 9PM for dinner. Restaurant was almost completely full. AMBIANCE Cozy yet not cramped, lively, soft lighting, warm SERVICE Service was friendly, and about on par for what I've experienced in Barcelona. If they had been just a little more attentive, FOOD Artichoke chips A little too greasy and batter a bit too much for the small, light, artichoke pieces. A little unevenly salted, but overall pretty good. Vaca Vieja Galician Beef filet aged five years with truffled mashed potatoes was excellent! I ordered medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. Beef was tender, seasoned nicely without overpowering the flavor of the aged beef. Truffled mash was, of course, delicious. That's pretty much a slam dunk side. It came with a little bit of grilled onion and roasted baby potatoes. These added just enough depth and texture variation. Cheesecake Basic cheesecake, but the fresh fruit and compote(?) took it up a level. It was a great way to finish the meal. read more

At first we thought the staff was very welcoming. Then things got a little weird there was a waiter in training and he didn't seem to understand us in Spanish or English and he brought us something from the kitchen we didn't order. The food and drinks really were mediocre. We won't be back. The waiter in training, He was kind but the person who was training him exhibited weird behavior at the end of the night. We asked for our check and he asked us if we wanted dessert which was okay. He was asking questions in a strange tone. He kept switching from English to Spanish ( we speak both languages and had not spoken to him in any language besides Spanish) and then pressured us into tipping them. Tipping is not a cultural norm in Spain and we think it's because he heard us speaking English and was like hmm I'll ask them to tip because of where they were from. Summary we paid too much for how mediocre the food and weird the service was. read more

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! read more

Stopped here for dinner on our first night in Barcelona. We were a party of 5. I ordered the ceviche and my partner ordered the (I think) fried veal. The food was so good, we came back here about two nightsnlater! Our waiter remembered us instantly! The chef even came out on the first night to make sure everyone was have a good time and enjoying their meals. Top notch food, top notch customer service. I will be heading to Pepitos anytime I head to Barcelona! read more

Loved it. Tried the tomatoes, mushroom croquettes, Foie gras truffle fries with egg, ceviche, and a few others. So good! Great deals on wines too. The hardest part was stopping ... I wanted to try more but had no room left. Next time. read more

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. read more

Food amazing, ambience amazing, and service was exceptional. Really good date spot! And friendly to those who aren't from the local area

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. read more

Stopped here for some lunch, the restaurant has very nice decor and super clean bathrooms. I had the beef filet with mash potatoes (sooo good) and my husband had the Gonzalo sandwich which was also very tasty. Overall 10/10 with great service and cheesecake. Make sure to order a white sangria, it was the best I ever had! read more

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. read more

Went there on a Tuesday evening. Waited 30 min before I went to the bar to order a glass of wine and some water since no one cared to stop by my table.. when I was finally able to order some food, I ordered a fillet medium well. Twice, I had to send it back since it came out rare and the third time, it still was rare.. the manager insisted I pay for the things I have ordered... You couldn't pay me to go there ever again... BTW, another coupe waited for 60 min without anyone coming to their table.. read more

Great restaurant; especially the decor and setup of the place! We had great service as well! We ordered the scallops and provolone potatoes to start and followed it with waygu steak and chicken. We even ordered desert: creme brûlée and tiramisu; however these were the two disappointing dishes of the dinner. read more

wandered into this restaurant by accident, and are so grateful we did! beautiful venue, helpful staff, and the food is spectacular. we ordered the burrata salad, oxtail raviolis, and the waygu steak. by far our best meal in spain read more

Excellent service. Get this, the steak for 2 was getting cold. Without asking they brought out a hot plate to get it heated up again. The steak was incredibly cooked and was high quality. Delicious. Also highly recommend the oxtail tortellini with truffles. I am coming back for that again before I leave Barcelona. Also loved the artichoke chips. I really want that to catch on. read more

Incredible! The best food we had in Spain! Very tasty, full of flavors, great mixed drinks and wines, awesome service! We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and were surprised to see it on a sandwich, but once we ate it we must say it's the best calamari and best sandwich we have ever had. I ordered the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and with nice flavors. My husband order the filet mignon, which was the best stake I've tasted in a long time, cooked with a beautiful hot red center and a nice sear on the outside. We were so impressed that we ordered an additional meal at the end just to taste, which was the oxtail tortellini. The taste of the slow cooked oxtail inside of the pasta was prevalent and pleasing. Highly recommend this place! read more

Cute little date night spot. The Caesar salad was really good and looked super cute. The mushroom croquettes also hit the spot. We then ordered the oxtail truffle tortellini, the roast chicken and a bottle of wine. Every dish was delicious. The staff there was super friendly and it was pretty affordable for what we ordered -- I recall it coming to about 91 Euro. read more

Truly enjoyed the dining experience here, it gives you what Spain is about with the modern, artistic ambiance and that signature sexy Spanish lighting I love how The wine reccs were on point, really appreciate when a restaurant connects you with the exact type of Vino you want and they did. The dining experience was not rustic by any means and not super refined - I like when restaurants go in the middle. The two must orders, the Salmon Tartare is next level and 1 of the Pepito sandwiches is on GOAT level, the one with Brie and Fig Jam or something like that was a table favorite. Everything else was well done. Might've been the best restaurant we had all week there, so many good ones. P read more

Had a fantastic meal and the maitre'd, Elmer, contributed mightily to a wonderful evening. The warm artichoke chips were delicious. We shared everything including the tuna tartare (excellent) and a steak dish. Also a chocolate dessert that was divine -- several delicious chocolate parts. We heartily recommend this place. By the way, the cocktail were excellent. My Hendricks up was excellent. read more

Amazing ambiance and food! We were recommended this place by our hotel concierge and our tour guide one day, and it didn't disappoint. We had artichoke chips to start - a tad salty for us and could have used an ailoi sauce in our opinion - but still good. We had oxtail pasta - amazing, homemade pasta and really delicious truffle sauce. We had pork which had been smoked perfectly and was super tender. And we shared a tiramisu for dessert served in a little mason jar thing and it was a perfect, flavorful tiramisu. Great service and only thing that caught us off guard was that the waiter offered for us to put tip on our card so we had to decide on tip right there, on the spot, with the waiter present....a bit awkward! Just a heads up for Americans with travel tipping anxiety :) read more
