It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

Voy a la barra de Sant Cugat cada verano desde 2018 y siempre recibí un trato si bien no…read moresobresaliente al menos fue siempre correcto y respetuoso. Este verano hay una chica terriblemente grosera que parece ser encargada o recepcionista y que se alterna con un chico latinoamericano que lleva años y que es bastante cordial. La primera vez la chica fue agresiva para explicarme que si venía solo y sin reserva mis opciones eran la barra o una mesa en la ventana con el sol a tope. Aunque no me gustaron sus formas, agradecí y preferí irme Hoy decidí ir únicamente a tomar una ginebra a las 4 de la tarde, le pregunté si todavía era posible, me dijo que si y después la misma dinámica, Barra o Mesa asoleada... Debido al horario habían muchas mesas vacías y le pregunté si podía ocupar alguna de ellas y ahí es donde mi insolencia y atrevimiento de pedir algo fuera de su "guión" despertó su ira. De pésima gana me dijo que esperara por que tenía que limpiarla y cuando ofrecí sentarme en una limpia para no molestarla se abalanzó sobre la mesa en cuestión a limpiarla ente resoplos y palabras inaudibles que supongo no serían demasiado cariñosas. Le dije de la manera más amable posible que con esas formas y de mala gana prefería mejor irme Y así lo hice. No pretendo afectar a este negocio ya que como dije, su servicio siempre había sido correcto pero si es hacer conscientes a los dueños/socios/responsables de "La barra de Sant Cugat" sobre este hecho que al menos a mi me obliga a no volver. Suerte

Truly an unforgettable meal and experience.

Everything about El Cul was divine. The appetizers (Moroccan salad, pumpkin soup, and meat selection) were tasty and just the right portion. The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish. (Save your pasta ordering for Italy. They do great rice dishes in Spain and this was tasty, but vai a Italia per la pasta della nonna!) Other friend's sea bass was cooked to perfection. Chocolate desserts, oh my! Yup, get those too.

Even if without time to sit down and eat, do buy some cheese to go! We did that and then returned for a proper dinner. The atmosphere was so cozy and makes me feel like it's Christmas there everyday! The service is so kind and accommodating. We shared three incredible salads (one with bufalo mozzarella, one with mushrooms, and the third with orange and chili, as well as shared a large cheese plate of cheeses from Northern Spain. Wow! Everything was absolutely divine! All of the salads were incredible (and it was my first and last bite of jamon iberico while in Barcelona as I'm vegetarian and made an exception of a bite here in order to experience the culinary history of Barcelona... and I am so glad I did this here as my cousin who lives near the restaurant confirmed it is among the best Iberico he had ever eaten). The Rose was incredible and they offer an extensive wine list. The cheeses were unforgettable dekicious. It was such a delicious, beautiful and memorable dinner with such lovely company and our last dinner together in Barcelona this trip. Thank you so much! We hope one day soon to return to Barcelona from NYC!

As primarily English speaking it has been a disappointing culinary adventure throughout Spain, but…read morenot here. Not only did our server amuse our broken Spanish but he also spoke English. The food was absolutely amazing. I had a Tebia salad. I honestly can't say I've been so excited over a salad. It had a wonderful aray of light toppings with a hot host cheese on toast. It was delightful and rich with the semisweet salad. My spouse had the fondue and a toast with iberco ham. The tiramisu was not to sweet yet creamy and delicate.

Nestled in an unassuming network of cobble stone lined alley ways are hidden gems worth discovering. We came looking for tapas, paella, sangria; and we found just that. Location: Plaza de España is within a 5 min walk, blocks away from shopping, and 30 minutes from the airport by way of shuttle. Used Google Maps with several sharp turns to find this local favorite. Service: the owner employs his pet Pomeranian, that follows the wait staff unconditionally. This is a no frills restaurant; grab a seat anywhere you like, and order off the menu. What we ate: Table service - pitted olives; briny and herbaceous. So delicious as an appetizer. Crisp Potatoes - served with aioli and red pepper sauce; so simple yet so comforting. Fried Calamari - can't go wrong with crispy calamari. Pork & Mushroom Paella - I know we're used to seeing seafood, but pork and mushroom with crispy rice is different, bold, and worth each bite. Sangria Blanco - I won't lie, it was heaven with the first sip, and it left me wanting more. Unlike its red cousin; white sangria is lighter and more fruit forward. So refreshing! After 18 hours of transiting; this was a delectable experience.

We were told Spaniards don't drink so much Sangria -- they drink Vermouth! So, that's what we…read moresought during our first few days in Barcelona. This place came up on a Google Maps search in a neat neighborhood away from the touristy La Rambla, so we decided to check it out. We were made aware that in Spain, one simply has to stand around and wait for a table to vacate in order to sit -- the host doesn't really facilitate, and there is not written waiting list or anything like that. We waited for about 15 mins. Our host maybe didn't speak a ton of English, and generously agreed to translate the Catalan menu into simple Castellano that my partner and I could understand. His first question was essentially, "How hungry are you?", and then he proceeded to suggest some dishes. The Vermouth was definitely great. The pan con tomate went well. The patatas bravas went well with the drinks. The chicken tenders aren't something we'd get again (albeit we liked the 2 different sauces).
