    French toast
    Eugene Y.

    Wonderful restaurant, prompt friendly service! What a find for an out of town patron! My chilaquiles were excellent; so was the huevos. The French toast was made like a work of art! Much is gracious Picnic!

    This is a must when in Barcelona! my friend who I completely trust with food recommendations said we should hit this spot up and it did not disappoint! I had the lobster Benedict and the Bloody Mary and it was amazing! Just go! You'll be happy you did!

    French toast

    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!

    Beef tacos

    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

    What can i say about this place. All the food looked amazing. I wanted to try everything on the menu. I couldn't so I'll be back during my trip. Place was hopping at 13:00. The staff was great and was absolutely worth the wait.

    Short rib and poached egg on waffle

    Yummy food and good coffee. I got the short rib and poached egg on a waffle. the service is a lot better than what you usually get in Spain. You can make a reservation by email. There's indoor and outdoor seating. It's fairly priced. Good location near the park.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Ashley L.

    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.

    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.

    French toast and smashed avocado with poached egg on sourdough
    Monika S.

    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

    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.

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.
