We enjoyed this place! It was different than typical Spanish food and was fun. We loved the French fries especially. We were sad there was not normal soda for us Americans, but we did enjoy our meals. read more

This place was so quaint and perfect. It's located on a quiet corner with what seemed to be mostly locals filling the seats. My friend and I went for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We got huge boozy iced coffee for 6.5 euros and our meals were fresh and beautiful (tasty too!) I got the breakfast bowl which was bursting with colors and flavors. I also ordered the quinoa hashbrowns which were crunchy and had just the right amount of salt. If you want to go off the path a little bit and go somewhere that not all tourist go, I definitely recommend Picnic. read more

This place was super cute. I really enjoyed my meal here. I had something as simple as French toast with a drink (can't remember the name), but it was great. The server was sweet and took great care of us. This is a great simple brunch spot with good food. This is a normal place someone would recommend in this area. The ambiance it's great as well. This brunch spot is only walking distance from The Arc. So go see the artictecturhe and walk off the delicious meal you've had at this really cute and cozy restaurant. There's nothing cultured on the menu, but I was completely fine with that. Great spot! read more

We had an absolutely delicious Brunch there today. The food was all delicious - avocado toast, beef tacos and quinoa hash browns were devoured to the last drop. The drinks were also perfect. The lemonade with perfect little ice and mint was awesome. The waiter was lovely, the service was quick, and the price is right. Highly recommend read more

Went to Picnic because it was conveniently close to where we were staying. I didn't expect to find the BEST French toast I have ever had. The flavors they added as toppings were sensational! Instead of using basic syrup or butter they used figs, nectarines with agave syrup and creme fraiche. I was blow away by the flavors and uniqueness of the dish. If you're visiting Barcelona I recommend coming to Picnic! read more

Picnic has a seasonal menu that changes based on available ingredients, every dish is crafted with care and prepared with a touch of love that shows in the flavors and composition of the cuisine. Tara and Jamie bring the influences of their varied backgrounds to the menu they serve, and their knowledge of great food and wine is present in everything they serve. I enjoyed brunch at Picnic, and really enjoyed the restaurant's design. I relaxed in the earthy décor, with warm wood slat tables and greeneries greeting guests as they enter. I thought my ginger lemonade, which was deliciously sweet and tart, served in a mason jar brought a rustic feel that solidified the picnic style. I started with quinoa hash browns, which were a great take on the traditional potato accompaniment. Crispy, delicious, and healthier than the original, I thought the hash browns were the perfect introduction to the rest of my brunch. The pancakes were light and fluffy, delicately melting in my mouth with each bite, and the maple syrup banana, peanut butter sauce and walnuts added a sweet and nutty flavor that really complimented the pancakes. I enjoyed a bowl of bowl of bacon on the side, and it was probably the best bacon I've had in a long time. It was crisp but not overdone, meaty and not greasy, but with enough fat to add flavor. After my pancakes, I tried peach crumble, which was served with crème fraiche and ripe, sliced kiwi. The peaches were sweet and juicy, and the topping gave it just the right texture. A definite winner for me! Whether it's the freshest seasonal cuisine, a relaxing, inviting atmosphere, or just incredible service, Picnic has it all. read more

We arrived right at open. The crowd came shortly after. First, cappuccinos all around. We ordered the chilaquiles and the french toast. The french toast, caramelized on bottom, with strawberries and blueberries, berry compote - it was delicious. It came out steaming so that the middle let out heat waves. The chilaquiles came out less warm, self-described on the menu as messy, and with good flavor from the pulled pork. The menu did not mislead at all. Even though the choices border more familiar to brunch goers in the United States, the quality of taste remains at Barcelona's upper tier. read more

Okay breakfast but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. I got the huevos rancheros and my husband got the french toast. My dish was lacking flavor and my husband's french toast was burnt on the bottom. Service was good and prices were reasonable read more

Really really didn't like this place. I don't want to say preying on tourists but... The food is extremely meh. Absolutely nothing special. The staff is overworked and stressed. Expensive in a way that just says that the people coming here are tourists. The location of this store really just seems so out of place in the neighborhood it's in. It feels out of place. I don't know, when you go to a place where everything looks so pretty and nothing has to do with the actual community... it's rough. read more

I was so excited for brunch at Picnic after reading many positive reviews and eyeballing so many pretty food pics. My husband and I arrived and put our name in with the friendly hostess - we were a party of four and the others hadn't shown up yet, but she didn't give us a hard time. By the time our table was ready, everyone was there and we were seated inside in a pretty tight room. Despite the a/c unit, it was pretty toasty inside. I ordered a gin ginger lemonade to cool down, and others in our group ordered similar iced drinks. Our server took our drinks order first, and gave us a few more minutes before taking our food order. Somehow, the food arrived in mere minutes while we were still left waiting for drinks and water. It was really odd and no one acknowledged this. When the water was dropped off, we received two glasses instead of four and our server said she'd be back with two more, though we never received them. My friend had chilaquiles and the chips were almost completely soggy - as if she had gotten someone else's incorrect order. Her boyfriend had the pork tacos which looked great. My husband had the pancakes which he really enjoyed, and I had the eggs benedict with spinach, avocado and tomato, plus a side of bacon (which was so big it could have been shared between four people, just FYI!). The food was solid but the delayed drinks situation was annoying, and it was sort of clear that a second round wouldn't really be in the cards. We were ready to move on at that point, anyway. On the plus side, if you're looking for a super speedy meal, you'll get it, despite having to wait a bit for a table during busy times. That said, I'd probably pass for something different next time, or make a reservation in advance for an outdoor table. read more

I'm not kidding this is the best breakfast I've ever had in my entire life, not over exaggerating at all. The tortillas on the huevos rancheros are to die for. And the iced coffee.... Wow. The salad dressing is awesome too. The salt shakers produce fine grains of salt that are like tiny heavenly clouds. Could not be happier with my meal. Thank you, picnic, for changing my life. read more

Best breakfast we had during our stay in Barcelona. The receptionist in our hotel told us that brunch isn't really a big thing but this is the place in the city that does it best, and she was completely right. I would definitely recommend reserving a table, two of us arrived for brunch on early Sunday afternoon and the wait even for a bar space was over half an hour. However once we were seated the service was very speedy. We had the pink lemonade, the eggs benedict, a pulled pork sandwich and pancakes to split (I know, we were stuffed!). All the mains seem to come with a side salad and freshly fried potato cubes and everything was delicious. The eggs benedict seem to be the way to go, the kitchen was firing them out 5 a minute. The pancakes were also light and fluffy with fresh berries to top it off. 40 euro for brunch but we were still full 8 hours later! read more

All the reviews here were raving about brunch, so I was a little hesitant to go for dinner. Picnic didn't disappoint. There was a fairly large group that arrived ahead of us, and the menu was pretty small (5 apps, 5 seafood dishes, and maybe 6-7 meat dishes), so they were out of three of the seafood dishes. That didn't matter, though. We ordered the grilled octopus and pulled pork tacos - both very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The decor inside is cute; very home-y looking and you can watch the chef prepare all the food. That meant we saw every plate that came out of the kitchen, and wanted all of them. The service is friendly, too, but nothing over the top. If you're headed for dinner, know that you'll be satisfied. read more

Awesome brunch in an awesome location ! Very close to Arc De Triomf and very busy when we visited on Saturday around 11am. The coffee was great, the French toast was a bit sweet but still tasty - they used cake instead of bread in egg - and my smashed avocado with poached egg, beetroot hollandaise and kale was amaaaazing ! Probably could've eaten one more but we would've been stuffed otherwise, was content with one tapas each. Would definitely recommend visiting when in Barcelona :) keep in mind this place does get very busy and we sat outside using the window sill as a table and were facing the people sitting inside on the other side of the window. Ordered: French toast Smashed avocado and poached egg on sourdough 4 coffees = Approx. € 25 read more

Picnic was by far my favorite Barcelona dining experience. It was my brunch after visiting the (somewhat) nearby Picasso museum. Located at the intersection of what seems like 3 little streets in "Old Town Barcelona", Picnic was pretty crowded for a Sunday late morning. Locals it seems... that's gotta be a good sign. I sat at the bar, and ordered what looked good: eggs benedict. And boy were they! Nice and runny w/good sea salt on top. The only drawback was a slightly too crunchy/chewy bread underneath. I also asked for a "Cortado" as recommended by a friend - a fancy espresso... and onion rings for the hell of it, whose sauce was great. The waitress continued to speak to me in Spanish, which I appreciated as well. Just wish I could get some tap water instead of bottled water... read more

When you walk up you immediate notice the cute coziness to the restaurants. They have patio seating with fancy umbrellas to provide you some shade. The menu is attached to a fancy board and the menu options are translated in English. The food selections are Mexican based with tortillas, huevo rancheros and tacos. It is brunch style do they other breakfast options, I.e. eggs, bacon, hash brown, French toast..as well as a burger option. The French toast was amazing..very moist with a apricot dressing. You don't go wrong for choosing this as your brunch selection. The bacon was greasy but crunchy. The burger was hand size and made to order. They also offer fried eggs if scrambled eggs aren't your favorite. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and comes in a adequate offering and in a cute small jar. The mimosa was also refreshing. Great brunch option if you wake up late and still want a breakfast choice. read more

Just happened upon this brunch spot. It was a great discovery! The couple who own it are super friendly and accommodating. The wife was from California and gave us a great lunch place recommendation.

High end tapas for the same price you'd end up paying for considerably lower quality at any of the tourist trap locations along La Rambla or other places in Barcelona. We've just had their Spring Roll and it was terrific. The Spanikopita is also great but ours could have used a touch more salt. Our next tapa was beef loin. Talk about the best reason to come here. Cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. We finished of with a strawberry crumble. At this point, the place is going strong and teaming with patrons. Both locals and english speakers all enjoying the atmosphere and food. The dessert was spectacular, needless to say. Bathrooms (2 of them) are clean. Seats roughly 30 inside and 12 our so outside. The owners are a pleasure to speak with. If I lived here, I'd definitely return again and again. read more

Picnic is a staple of my little team of brunch goers of Barcelona. Slightly more modern food set in a great atmosphere. Breakfast: Eggs Benedict was great, although it was slightly cold when it came. Quinoa crokettas were great. Great bloody Marys and good coffee. Dinner: It was great to see Kangaroo on the menu, and dinner generally was a great meal. Portions were not large, but that worked for us. Great, friendly staff. We have eaten here a few times, and enjoy coming back. read more

It is a nice spot for brunch in a love Born area. The interior is so nicely decorated,not typical for eateries in Barcelina in general. The waiters are all polite,friendly and of course they all might easily turn to English) funny thing though, I was there on a Sunday brunch, and I only spotted one company of English speaking clients,so the place was actually crowded with spaniards!The prices are a bit on the expensive side,but the portions are generous and the food is delicious! read more

You could get away with just writing two words as a review for this place and everyone would know what to expect. ´´ Mason Jars´´ But you would be doing it an injustice, as much as my anti-hipster devil on my shoulder is pushing me to... Its what a modern city with such creative and artistic vibes running through the city needs, what arrives in front of you is much the same. I was there to experience the brunch menu and was fortunate enough to sit at the bar where all the food is cooked. The two chefs on show, working great together, hiding nothing, well... because theres no where to hide. The brunch staples flying out, huevous rancherous, eggs benidict, pulled pork, each with its own modern twist, the duck hash is on the list for next time. Its a busy place, im mean rammed i spoke to the chef and he gave me an insight to an average days covers,how he keeps the continuity and quality i dont know,but if i remember right, he actually said, ´´we dont forget to have fun! ´´ But get there early or book a table, i saw a lot of dissappointed faces walk away, dont be next ! read more

Just went there for a coffee. The waiter was probably the most unpleasant person I've ever met in a restaurant in Barcelona. Quite a shame because the place could be nice and quite well located, close Parc de la Ciutadella and El Boern area.... Never will go again to this place because I really felt unwelcome and disturbing the waiter while he had something else to deal with. read more

Picnic is one of those gems that restores your hope in Barcelona cuisine after suffering a disastrous run in with another barmanolo (aka old man bars). Carefully chosen, seasonal ingredients. Good wine list and knowledgeable staff. Chefs all seem foreign (maybe American?), and that can be a good thing. Try the coca bread, the pulpo and the couscous. read more

Sunday brunch, full house. It's a small corner bistro with plenty of seating considering the scarce space, this translates into a very noisy ambiance and crumpled tables. Nice outside seating but you definitively have to make a reservation to get that privilege. Next, the food, it's a very simple menu but they make an effort to add a little twist to every dish so to give them some personality. The problem is that, even though the dishes are OK and well executed, they come in super small portions which are terrible overpriced for what they are. I mean an avocado toast 12 euros, give me a break. It's another tourist oriented place with a nice decor and concept. Won't repeat! read more

Came in hungry on a busy Sunday and we were seated pretty quickly inside. The service was quick and friendly enough and the food was decent, but nothing out of this world. Coming from Los Angeles, which has so many outstanding brunch options, the food felt pretty familiar, so for tourists looking for a slice of home this may be a good option. That said, if you're looking for new flavors (and coming from LA, NYC or really any major city in the US with solid brunch options), maybe go elsewhere. read more

I live in the neighborhood and passed by this place many times, it always looks inviting and happening. Today I finally gave it a try and came for brunch. Excellent experience and it starts with the way we were greeted. This is a relatively small and very popular place so you can imagine the crowd especially for Sunday brunch. The hostess is polite and attentive. She promises to sit us in 5-7 min and that's exactly what happens. (we got lucky, large group just left) I have to emphasize absolutely exceptional service from everyone working there. Mind you it's madhouse inside yet waiters manage to get everything right, quick and with a smile. Food is good of course, just as everyone says :) read more

This is not a review on the food as I was never able to try the food! Not happy . Came all the way here to get food and took a 10 euro taxi but it's a very small place and although I saw a table empty for the 15 min I was there trying to get someone's attention to ask about the waiting list they rudely said 1.5 hours ! I don't want to stand outside the restaurent for 1.5 hours in the cold just to get a small table for two , I asked if I could get food for take away as I was starving and really wanted to try their pancakes but I was rudely told not right now maybe in an hour ! I didn't like the attitude or level of service given. If this place is always a line I don't see myself ever trying to go here again plus I'm from out of town and will most likely never be in Barcelona again. read more
