It's it's possible I'll do negative 5 stars. Beside we were waitng for food over an hour. My stake with baked potato's were placed on cast iron tray, but was cold, not just tray, stake and potato also. Entrecot a la Brasa 24.50€. My wife ordered Paella Senorito - its was just rice with two shrimps cut for eight pieces Please avoid this place. Much better restaurant around the corner we had dinner night before read more

This place rocks! The food is delicious. The service is great too. If you want to freak out the waiter, tip in American cash. I gave our waiter a twenty for a lunch bill. He gave me a what the F' look. Then he asked the manager in Spanish what it was. He came back and was really grateful. Again! Try this place if you have time. The burgers are killer and so are many other things on the menu. We went three times in the week we were in Barcelona. read more

This restaurant is in a great location, right near Arenas de Barcelona. My friends and I popped in for dinner one night. Most of us ordered the pasta bolognese. The pasta itself was delicious and the amount of cheese on top was ideal. However, I do wish the dish had a bit more meat. I left the meal still feeling a little hungry. The staff was kind and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. I would probably go again! read more

A little touristy but we really liked it! The grilled nachos and ambience were amazing! The staff was attentive. The paella and 4 cheese pasta were really good as well. My group thought it was reasonably priced. read more

Service was quick and friendly. We tried to unlock the Yelp 15% offer and the waiters told us it was for another location: we asked them to double check and they told us there was another one in the mall. It sounded odd there would be another location so close -bc there wasn't. I'm pretty sure they just didn't know how to use the coupon and didn't want to look into it? If you look at the location on this Yelp page, it is 0 steps, the offer was for this location. Anyway, the food wasn't horribly pricey, but definitely not cheap for what you get. We ordered the Parmesan pasta and the bolognese. The presentation is beautiful -but myself and another person in our party had to ask for Parmesan -it just didn't have much flavor. The sangria is a little pricey for the serving and wasn't that good -the beer was good, nice and cold. It wasn't an awful experience, but I wouldn't return when there are more flavorful and cheaper pasta options. read more

I can simply just say 10/10. So far my favorite restaurant in Barcelona. The food is absolutely delicious. We had the chicken and ham croquettes, spicy potatoes, steak, and wagyu burger and each thing was absolutely mouth watering. read more

Nice place and very good food. BEWARE YELPERS!! 15% discount for a check-in is not honored at Via Cortalanes location but not disclosed on coupon. They said here it's only good at Plaza Catalunya location. Wanna bet at that location they say it's only good at this one? read more

I just left this restaurant and I am an African American woman and my girlfriends who are also African American planned to have dinner here and we had the worst experience in our lives. We flew all the way from USA to enjoy what Spain has to offer and we were met with pure rudeness and disrespect. The look of disgust on their employees face when I Asked for a bar menu. He yelled at me and said he doesn't know what I am asking for and that they don't have that there. I was taken back by his actions told him I was a paying customer and wouldn't be disrespected. He continued to yell at me and lWhen I made a big scene the manager came to apologize but at this point I wasn't about to eat there anymore. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who Are just looking for good food and Drinks unless you are looking to be disrespected. read more

The two important things you need to know about this place: 1) Open late. 2) Delicious meat. Aaaaand we're good to go! Most of started with sangria or cerveza and of course we ordered a few carafes of water. The sangria was perfect after a long first day in Barcelona following an enthralling 6-0 FC Barcelona game! FOOD (4 stars): Soooo, did someone say MEAT? ---------------------------------------------------- We began with the **Deli Meats Platter** which included thin cuts of salami and jamon. Unfortunately there were not enough of each variety of meat to sample each type, but I did like what I tried. The presentation of the **Chicken Hanging Ribs** was impressive -- it arrived as a really tall hanging skewer of delicious meatiness. The chicken was one of the most juicy and tender I have ever had. Definitely recommended! The headliner of the show was supposed to be the **Super Pork Ribs** so our group ordered 3 racks to share. Very well cooked and the menu description ("spectacular!") was accurate. Boy, did we chow down. Of course we had a few non-meat items. "Why??!" you may ask. "Meat is all you need!" We wanted a little balance since we knew we'd be eating a ton of meat during this trip. So we threw in the **Grilled Veggies** dish just for the heck of it, but I was one of the only ones eating it. Everyone else was distracted by the meat. The **Croquettes** were excellent -- perfectly crispy. You may notice that in Spain they have their croquettes down to a T. Never too oily and always just the right amount of crispy. How do they do it? Note that the food above was enough to serve about 8 people and cost us about 25 euro including tip. Decent price for all that meat, but we weren't super full either. Remember that these are European-sized portions, not American portions... so don't be expecting a Sizzler buffet! SERVICE (2 stars): --------------------- Our server did speak decent English but was pretty abrasive until some of us started bustin' out our Spanish. Then they were a tiny bit friendlier. They clearly do favor locals here, which isn't cool. Everyone's a customer, right? Oh, and there's free Wi-Fi, so another point in their favor. You often need to refer to this as as "Wee-Fee" or you may get some blank stares. TIP: People will tell you that everyone in Spain speaks English, but this simply isn't true. They also don't mention that locals seem to absolutely hate speaking it and will only do so because they must somehow serve their customers. So learn some key phrases or brush up on your Spanish before your trip. DATE TIP: This be the place to bring on the meatiness! Show 'em how you throw it down, being from 'Murica and all. read more

Most of the food we had was average, but the t-bone steak was surprisingly good. It was wonderfully marbled with just enough fat but it was still lean and full of flavor. The portion was large enough to share! it also came with a nice side of patatas of course. Grilled chicken tasted ok but slightly bland so just sprinkle some salt... Bolognese pasta needed more meat and the pasta was a bit doughy. Service was attentive and gotta love the outdoor seating with heat lamps on a beautiful Barca night. Affordable too! read more

I'm not sure whether I was just starving from traveling for 18 hours without food, or if the food here was honestly amazing because we loved it! I had the pesto pasta, my boyfriend had chicken and rice that had pineapples in it. We also split a ceaser salad and I was glad we did because it was delicious! Definitely would recommend and it's really close to the magic fountain show so you can hit dinner after the fountains! read more

I'm from Los Angeles, CA. This is my 1st time visiting Barcelona. This is by far the best restaurant we've visited! Everything is muy excellente!!! If you don't eat here you're missing out!!! read more

Worst meal we've had in Spain. We ordered the gambas al ajillo, ridiculously greasy and sprinkled with a piquillo powder for "flavor" - I'm Spanish and know what they should be prepared like. Second dish was a tagliatelle pesto pasta, greasy as hell. Came with a couple of burnt pieces of bread. Horrible. Don't be fooled by the ambience, it's an overpriced tourist trap. There's nothing Catalan, Spanish or Mediterranean about this place, except the words on the wall. Ugh. read more

A friend and I stopped in after walking around looking for food around lunch time. The prices are not too high, while the quality of the food tasted great! We ordered the chicken wings that came with fries and a mussel pasta... I forget which one exactly. The food tastes great! The ingredients were fresh and plentiful. Service was okay - nothing spectacular per se. The decor and ambience is very fun and colorful. read more

The crowd was fun- music was very good the food was okay. It was sot of what I expected of what seems to be a chain and based on reviews. I was in the mood for carne though and enjoyed the lamb and the garden salad was mixed and good portion. Overall, I'd say it's decent- more for large parties and kids but did enjoy. One last thing, it was one of the first times I checked in on Yelp and was offered a 15% coupon for the place, I chose to use it but they then said it was for the wrong place... It made me feel odd knowing I checked in at the one next to the Arena. So, thanks Yelp for the offer- just couldn't use... read more

My best friend and I were walking around the city to the Fountain to check out the La Mercè's closing night fireworks. We ran into this absolutely amazing restaurant. The line was a bit long, but VERY much worth the wait!! Not to mention, you get to gawk and stalk at the dishes as they come out to the tables. It leaves your mouth watering and makes the line go by much quicker. We ordered the shrimp with garlic sauce. Yuuuum! For our entrees ordered steak to share and asparagus with parm. It was so delicious that we never made it to the Fountain for fireworks and opted to watch it from the restaurant! Cocktails are tasty and left us with a booze. Definitely had an amazing night here. It's a must! read more

This is our first meal in Barcelona. The place is clean, hip and trendy. It is located outside the arenas, nearby the museum and the metro station. We ordered super pork ribs, grilled pig's feet and grilled mahi mahi deboned paired with summed sangria and fanta limon for our daughter. The food were presented well and a good portion. They are all delicious. The service is okay. We did enjoy our dining experience here read more

This place is a tourist trap. They don't honor the 15% discount, so don't bother asking the manager. Also there is barely any beef in the bolognese. Not my favorite. They have good Sangria and the staff is nice, but not a whole lot of value for your $$. read more

Delicious pork ribs and seafood pasta! My wife and I were so hungry after walking around the Nacional art museum that we went into this restaurant nearby the Arena, without much exploring. Little did we know that we loved the food so much that we finished all of them, and even added a cheesecake as dessert. Superb food! read more

We were in the area of the Magic Fountain in Barcelona and found Pura Brasa a short walk away, next to the Barcelona Arena. We had dinner here which was pretty good. We had one of the better paella dishes in Barcelona as well and some tapas and brushetta. They had a white sangria which was pretty good too. The world cup final was going on when we were there so the place was going crazy with the game. Service was little slow but they were super busy due to the game. We liked this place. read more

The mussels are very very good, one of the best I have had in Barcelona. The "fillet" steak was extremely good, it was like eating juicy buttery meat... wow. The red wine was decent for the price. read more

This place is pretty good...but yelpers beware...Cannot use the 15% off as it is for another location although not stated in the coupon.....Food nonetheless hit the spot and was pretty good. lamb shoulder highly recommended...So good..Drools... The spoon and fork in pasta was unique wish I could purchase it...Very European very cute. Average pricing. Dining experience overall decent compared to other restaurants in Spain ...U can't really compare to north america. People here speak some English so that's a plus. For 6 people expect around 110 euros considering each person ordered a dish and we ordered 6 drinks some being coke and water but getting alcohol would be a better deal. Decor decent. Sitting outside would be at a cost ..Which is the same as some other restaurants in spain. Oh almost forgot...FREE Wifi!!!! I dunno about the tipping system but we tipped 15%. read more

We had a great experience at Pura Brasa. Both the service and food was great. It's located in a very touristic area. You have the option to sit either in the outside or inside. We ate here two days and regardless of where you sit the ambiance is great. The ribs and burgers are great. The bone in chuleton was the best. read more

It was late and the place was not too busy but a lot of activity. We were able to sit right away and liked the idea of the option to share a plate on the menu. They served us complementary crackers with a mild sauce, I really liked the sauce. We ordered the nachos, VERY tasty. My daughter had grilled chicken and she enjoyed it too, she tends to be picky. Staff is friendly and very attentive. At one point we saw a line forming outside but everyone was seated properly. Enjoyed the food. I didn't give them 5-Stars only because I felt I didn't try the regular menu but definitely coming back before we leave. read more

We ate here a couple of times and the food and service were second to none. A must try is the steaks which you cook yourself at the tables on hot black rock. read more

Very pricy. Unfriendly waiter. 10% only because you eat outside! Food ok but too overpriced!

The food and service was horrible. The waitress we had was extremely rude. When we said "Excuse me, we have a question." The waitress replied "What!" and walked away. Plus we were waiting at least 20 minutes for someone to come back to our table with our check so that we could leave. When I went to check, the lady serving us had her coat on getting ready to leave. When I mentioned getting our check one server printed it out and put it on the table, then another waiter came as we were talking to interrupt us to ask if we are paying by credit card. The over all experience was horrible! This is my first time in Barcelona and I hate that I wasted my time and money having dinner at this place! I would not recommend eating here! read more

As we were going to see the Font Magica we thought we'd eat nearby. I'd read that Pura Brasa was a great place to eat although some of the reviews weren't great. I thought that the fact that it had been mentioned in a national British newspaper (the Guardian, I think) would mean it would be good. I've got to say, the food was great. We had croquettes, grilled corn on the cob, boneless chicken "breast" and the super pork ribs. The starters were really good. Best croquettes I've had in Barcelona and the missus really enjoyed her corn. The ribs were also amazing. Slow cooked for 20 hours then finished on the grill. The boneless chicken "breast" was in fact boneless chicken thighs which the wife had to pick through to find bits she was willing to eat. It did, however taste rather good. One other thing, be sure to ask what the accompaniments are to the dishes you order are as it doesn't tell you on the menu. The wife was surprised to see beans with black pudding on her plate which she was definitely not going to be eating! Now, on to the service. I'm disappointed with it to say the least. They were ok with us when we got there and seated us nice and quick. The waiters English was very good but I attempted to use the little Spanish I know. He didn't seem interested in us past taking our order. What was really annoying was that he was much MUCH friendlier with the Spanish speaking customers he had and had a laugh and joke with them. A little more attention and kindness goes along way. And for this reason I'm only giving a 3* rating. Go here if you like nice food but don't bother if you want to be treated well too! read more

Food was good but the service is horrible. The guy that says he's in charge is very rude and disrespectful. He did not attend to us the way a manager should. We asked for several plates that they did not have and yet when we got the bill, they had charged us for it. Recommend the food to a certain extent but wouldn't come again because of the horrible service and the "guy who says he's in charge". read more

The food was very good. Complex flavors, excellent presentation, and speedy delivery. A very nice variety of foods and spirits which cater to a wide range of hungers and thirsts. The real down side was the service was indifferent at best. I did arrive for a late lunch so maybe it wasn't the "A" team working, but it was enough that I considered it distracting to the overall dining experience. read more

Fish and meat dishes are very good. The place is busy and the service can be slow if you are in a hurry.

Amazing patatas bravas, grilled asparagus, and roasted vegetables. There could be a few more vegan options, but what they had was fantastic.

Tasty tapas, inexpensive sangria and beer. Calamari, prawn casserole (sautéed in oil with garlic and red pepper) are particularly good. Interesting people watching, menu available in English and the waiters speak English quite well which was helpful. read more
