The place has changed alot in 9 months ago when I visited it, the staff has changed and they no longer seem to care about what they are doing, the tables and chairs are old and dusty, is like the furniture is from another century but without any style. Now let's say some good things too, they are open all day as suppose to most restaurants that are closed from 3.30/4.00 pm to 8.00 pm, they have a large variety of "tapas", small meals and they are quite OK, and... oh yeah, it is cheap. 3 stars should be enough. read more

This restaurant was super convenient to where we were staying. The staff were very nice and hospitable. The food was quite enjoyable. The light airey tomato bread was delicious but so were all the dishes we ordered. Tomato egg and ham and the steak were my favorites. The sangria was devine. The culture her is more relaxed. They were not trying to get us out to turn over the tables. We actually had to wait a bit for the waiter to come for our dessert choice but we found that typical in most of of the restaurants we visited while in Barcelona. read more

context: a tapas bar in an airport. For what this was, this was surprisingly very good. the staff was very friendly, ensured we got our free drink, made sure we were happy. the atmosphere: located on the terrace of the airport (never seen an airport terrace before) amongst plants and greenery with relaxing music. The food: very very good for airport food. Flavorful, unique, and a variety of options. overall, a solid airport eatery. 5/5 read more

Last night in town and I was feeling lazy and did not want to venture out for dinner. So since this place is right next to my hotel(Hilton), I decided to give it a try. I ordered several items and liked them all. My favorite by far was the fried artichokes. Fast and friendly service made this a great last night for me. read more

Love the interior design! The color scheme was very pleasing. We started off with olives which were delicious. I'm not a big olive person but my fiancé is so this is based off his experience. So believe me if he says they're good then that means they really are! Next I ordered chicken mushroom garlic dish. I am knew to the eating portions in Europe so the small amount I was served was surprising but wonderful. It was packed with delicious flavor and satisfying. Our waiter was kind enough to bring out some extra bread to accompany my meal. My fiancé ordered a burger, again small portion but satisfying. The aoli served along side was delicious! read more

A fantastic place to bring the family if you're in this part of Barcelona! We actually ate here twice during our stay and loved each occasion. Some of the best tapas to try were the mature beef slices, potatoes, and calamari. Our kids loved this place as they got the opportunity to try several different dishes. Their drink menu was stellar as well, with a plethora of different options. We tried the sangria and the mojitos and were NOT disappointed. Staying at the Hilton right next door, we were 30 seconds away from our home away from home - how lucky we were that this place was so good! Give it a try even if you're not staying in this area! read more

Picolabis is a Tapas bar in Barcelona, I called in here to spend my first night in the Catalan capital, hoping to get something to eat however I left disappointed and hungry. This place is in a decent location, just off a street with lots of shops, and next to a Starbucks however to get in there is a very poor small ramp or steps, the premier is quite poor and dangerous in my opinion. When I entered the building, it had a poor feel to it especially inside, it seemed the only atmosphere it had, was outside and with it being late in the evening, I didn't want to spend my evening meal outside in the pitch black and slight cold. I asked the waiter about the gluten free selection, or sans gluten in Spanish, I did originally struggle to get through and other than Squid and Salad, he seemed unable to offer me anything. The waiter barely understood english, and he did seem to try his best but he simply lacked knowledge on what I could eat, the menu was also hard to understand and was mainly just pictures which I didn't like either, in the end I decided to walk out so sadly due to the selection and service received and other factors mentioned, I feel Piscolabis deserves a single one star. read more

Very nice place directly across from the entrance to the Hilton Hotel on Diagonal. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/piscolabis-barcelona?userid=e_qnJqm6m4BKlNDp6-iO4Q#DhBfxe5hnoaAbfMEagidKw It is crowded every night with locals and tourists, alike. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/piscolabis-barcelona?userid=e_qnJqm6m4BKlNDp6-iO4Q#ecF-xXMMwcffiwb_73fibA Very diverse menu and low cost for the area which is mostly commercial businesses and company offices. We had the specials of the day which were very tasty. The seating area inside is very nice, so is the outside seating. The service personnel outside are a little lax in getting back to your table, since it distracts them from their smoke breaks and social time with each other. Ah, Spain, if it wasn't for the observation that everyone smokes - your country could be a very nice place. I know it sounds like hyperbole to say everyone smokes, but I swear I saw dogs smoking when they were out on walks with their owners. The worst was seeing late-teen and early 20 year old females, rolling their own with papers and a tobacco pouch (legal stuff, not grass) as they walk down the street. I digress. The place was at overflow, out onto the sidewalk, one night. It was because Real Madrid and Barcelona were playing a game of futbol in town and the whole city was at bars and restaurants watching on big screens. Game ended in a tie of 2-2, so everyone was equally pissed. We were pissed because the Barcelona Metro workers of the subway system chose that Sunday to strike and none of the subway trains were running until after the game was over. Damn fools just wanted to get drunk all day and watch the game. Ahh Spain, if you ever get your head out of your ass over the socialist welfare system you contrived, you could be a great country. read more

All tapas menu. Very convienient to the Hilton hotel (don't even have to cross a street) Portions are just right (i.e. tapas) Great selection -- we had lamb burgers among other items. Prices were good. Firendly service. Bi-lingual menus and waitstaff. Has indoor and outdoor seathing. Would go again. read more

Piscolabis has lots bright lights from the street so it gets your attention. This restaurant serves tapas such as jamon iberico, sardinas, gambas, calamares, meat balls, croquettes, and a DELICIOUS potato ball. etc... The restaurant is cozy and comfortable and the layout is pleasant. The servers are super friendly and they will help you if needed. The food tastes average and the only really great thing is the potato ball because the potato ball is soft and it has it's own unique flavor. I can not even explain it, just go try it. Perros & kids are also welcome. Some of the postres are amazing. My favorite dessert is the oreo cake and white chocolate brownie (it is not always available). read more

Enjoy the service and food here. Tried many side dishes and the ones that were above all else were the jamon frites and risotto with their house wine! Great hours and very fast service, highly recommend this place! read more

Piscolabis - Unbelievable service and the drinks are fat. Great time and food. Well worth a stop off. - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Barcelona, B

Food was ok. Was expensive for what I got and the service was very slow I would not recommend

Stopped there for a quick meal. Food was excellent (tapas) and the staff was courteous. Free WIFI and a nice terrace. I don't speak Spanish and the employees were still all smiles with me. Will come again on my next trip to BCN ! read more

Piscolabis - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Barcelona, B

I was starving so I decided to get something to eat right next door at Piscolabis. It is a tapas restaurant right next door to the hotel so I didn't have to wander far. The menu is quite large but most of what I wanted to try was absent from the menu. I couldn't complain too much because it was pretty early on a Sunday. He also suggested pretty good replacements. I mean you can't really complain that much when you are selecting from over 60 dishes. I had the pan con tomate. It was simple, but you really get the freshness of the tomatoes. It's only charred bread that it is rubbed with tomatoes. I know you might be thinking "what's so great about that?" It's because the tomatoes have such a vibrant flavor of tomatoes. It's almost like eating a tomato for the first time. The bread is perfect too. It is very light and chewy and has this really crisp crust. Next up I got a chance to try the ham croquettes. Being from Miami, and ham croquettes being a staple of Cuban cuisine, I've had much more than my fair share of ham croquettes over the years. These were however the best that I've ever had. The quality of the ham goes a long way and the fatty nature of it gives you a croquette that is most and crisp on the outside. The richness of the food I had didn't stop there as I ended up getting the foie gras cannelloni as well. It was an absolute triumph as the pasta was cooked absolutely perfectly. It also had this great rich sauce that was slightly earthy. I also had the vegetable tempura with romesco sauce. My favorite this array of fired vegetables was the asparagus. The light batter that only a tempura can provide was perfect for it. The romseco brought in the brightness of the sweet ripe tomatoes that are throughout Europe. European tomatoes are better than any I've ever had in the US. The food was so good that I ate there twice on my trip. read more

Piscolabis - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Barcelona, B

The space is lovely - huge windows, nice outdoor seating, very modern inside; food was decent, if a little strange. They obviously cater to a large international crowd based on their adjacent-ness to the Hilton across the way (the menu is mostly photos that you can point to if you don't speak English, French, or Japanese), but I don't know if anything can make it okay to have a Hanna Montana mini burger, Winnie the Pooh Pasta, and Hello Kitty "pancakes" which look suspiciously like a quesadilla. I highly recommend the asparagus with brie which was the best thing I tried, though the tempura was good too (tempura avocado!). read more

4* Piscolabu Avenida Diagonal 593 Across from Hilton Have good comida rápida until 4:30 pm: 4 tapas plus beverage for 8.95€ Tapas were mostly good Have hummus, Russian salad, tortilla, croquettes, patatas bravas, 3 baby sliders Liked the egg over the fried potatoes Least favorite was the risotto Plenty of food at a reasonable price Good, friendly food service by César Menu in Catalán read more

It's very convenient if you're at the Barcelona Hilton (right across) and looking for tapas. The other good thing is that they're open pretty late for those suffering with jet lag!! The waitress recommended the fried Brie and roast poularde both of which were exceptional. The prices are very reasonable considering the location. To finish the evening I had the creme brûlée... read more

I was i in the Hilton looking for somewhere really close to eat. Piscolabs is super close and convenient for me so I went there. The food was meh, and the service was above meh. I spent a. Decent amount for money here (1 person, and I still left hungry) I wouldn't could back here again read more

Quick, easy, close to the hotel... just needed a quick Fast Fix after a 7hr plane trip. Fried fried anchovies & tuna tartar were excellentè!

When we visited Barcelona two years ago, we stumbled upon this unassuming tapas restaurant and were pleased by the quality of the food, selections, and prices. On our return this year, we headed here as soon as we checked into the hotel for a little snack before heading to downtown. Nothing fancy, simply good fare. read more

Right down the street from my hotel. I liked the setting and decor. It is right on Diagonal and you can sit outside if you like. If you are American just remember where you are. The service is not always the fastest. Just enjoy where you are. Food was good. The fried calamari was excellent. I had the chrizo with quail egg and the iberico ham tapas. read more

Love this place! We were staying at the Hilton next door and went there three times for drinks and tapas!

I don't know if all the food in Barcelona is this good or not, this being the first we ate here, but if it is, I don't know why everyone isn't huge. We had 4 dishes and the were all so delicious I wanted more. And the cheesecake and lemon mousse we just as good. The service was also great, very attentive and never let us wait for anything. What a great start here. Great! read more

To sum up the experience, this place is nice for a quick bite, and conveniently located across from the Hilton Hotel, the nearby shopping centre and surrounding hotels. That being said, the food, drinks and service were 'average.' I dined here with colleagues for dinner and the consensus was that the meal was just adequate overall. We dined at about 7:30pm and the place was quite empty as that's 'early' for dinner in Spain, but this is one of the few places that was open for dinner at the time. A few of us ordered the house Sangria, which was diluted and disappointing. The menu was helpful in that it had pictures of the dishes plus English and Catalan labels; however, there were many dishes that seemed to be geared towards tourists rather than authentic Spanish cuisine, such as meatballs, a dish that looked like an 'Egg McMuffin' and chicken wings. The dishes that we really wanted were unavailable apparently, so we chose from a limited selection, including asaparagus with melted brie (just okay), chicken wings (typical), chicken curry kabas (pretty good), chicken stew (horrible and overcooked), fried seafood mix (terrible), and 'bikini sandwich (basically white bread with melted cheese and what we thought was ham - not good). There are far better restaurants in the area for a similar price point, although people may choose this as it's one of the few that has all day service and is located close to nearby hotels and the shopping centre. read more

I like this place. Food is really good and prices are fair. Wait staff are nice, but they get frazzled easily which can result in inattentive service. They have Menus in various languages and pictures of the food. I'm not sure I'd recommend for kids, based on the menu. Yet, everything is delicious. They also have a really good breakfast deal for 5€, as well. read more

This place has a good location but beware of the prices they show u when u order and always ask cost before you place the order. Firstly the food is not that great and secondly when the bill arrived, they had charged us $17 euros for 4 shrimps that were not even grilled. Very disappointing when a business fools tourists who have just arrived. Tapas not worth the price and lacked any Spanish flavors. read more

This place is very convenience as it is located right across Hilton and a relatively inexpensive place for a good meal. The service was good with picture menu for those of us that are Spanish challenged. However, the tapas selection was limited and not for the "foodies" - but good enough for us commoners who just want to fill our stomachs after a long day of work. read more

Extremely disappointed. I went for lunch on a weekend, and to begin with, the waitstaff was rude. But then the food was even more disappointing. The portions were doll sized for their price to begin with. I got a wrap and the entire thing was so soggy, basically wet, that it wasn't even edible. Overall, bad experience. read more

Here in business and this place was next to the hotel so we decided to try it. The papatas braves (spicy potatoes) were probably the best I've had here. We also got the walnut and cheese croquettes which were rich but good. And the asparagus with brie which was perfectly cooked. My friend got the veal burger which he said was very good. I ordered the eggs with jamon which was a tad bit too salty (probably because of the ham) but cooked perfectly. The food came out quickly and the service was good, very friendly staff. Try the deep fried chocolate filled pastry for dessert!! So good! Would definitely come back for a quick dinner. read more

It was an average tapas bar, which is close to the Hilton. The staff was very knowledgeable and recommended several good selections that me and my wife liked. Very clean and nice place. We had wings, macaroni salad, spicy fries which were very good and a chicken dish that was not very good, no flavor. For dessert we had these chocolate bites and they were very good. read more
