The decision about what to eat was very difficult but I think we made the good choice. Started off with Oysters and a shellfish extravaganza. I had the cuddlefish/mussel/shrimp with linguini and my wife had the salted Icelandic cod fried then baked with white beans. Everything was delicious. Like the food, the wines are local Catalan or Spanish and excellent. Off the beaten path so don't worry about loud tourists, very romantic. And the owner is very attentive. Please go.

The easiest way to convey our attitude towards Txirimiri is to reveal that a trip to BCN for us is…read morenot complete unless we have at least one meal here. Often times we have more. Txirimiri is not fine dining. It is good honest blue collar eats that satisfy. They feature Basque regional food seldom found outside of País Vasco. The prices are reasonable for Barcelona and the service (this place gets super busy) is excellent no matter how harried the staff may be. If we are in Barcelona, you can find us here. We will be back

Decent pintxos, good lunch, but not the most memorable spot…read more We stumbled into Txirimiri while wandering around El Born looking for a quick lunch. The place had a welcoming vibe, and pintxos were on offer, so we figured why not? Overall, it was a good lunch, but the selection of pintxos was pretty limited - not nearly as robust, creative, or flavorful as a few other places we'd tried earlier in the week across town. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. Service was okay - efficient but not particularly warm or engaging. You definitely get the sense this is a spot that sees a lot of tourists, and the staff may be a little weary of that constant flow. At the table next to us, a group of fellow American travelers were all eating burgers and fries... which kind of summed it up. That said, the location is convenient, and if you're nearby and want a quick bite in a casual setting, it's not a bad choice. Just don't expect to be blown away. 4 stars

First off, our waiter Oscar was the best and made our night! He was very personable and on top of things. There was no menu and we let Oscar brings us a variety of plates. This is what we had- Fried artichokes Pan con tomate Jamon iberico Spanish omelette White fish with potatoes Ahi tuna con tostones Ribeye with potatoes and shishito peppers Scallops with foie gras Crema Catalana The entire dinner from start to finish was amazing! Really enjoyed the lightly fried artichokes and the pan con tomate. Delicate flavors but the tomato and olive oil really shine thru. Top it with some Jamon and you're set! The scallops were also soft and melt in your mouth. The ribeye just as tender. Such a well rounded dinner and the creme Catalan aka Spains version of creme brûlée was creamy and delicious. No regrets!

One has to be adventurous to try this place BUT let me tell you it does not disappoint. This place was recommended by my travel buddy's work friend. I am so happy we had a chance to try it out. We just so happened to be near and decided to walk in. Well it opens at 1:15 on a Saturday, and it was 12:50 when we walked by there was already a small line. We joined in. They only accept reservations for the four outside tables, all the seating inside is at a counter, approximately 12-14 stools. We managed to get seats in the middle to watch the line chefs whip up incredible dishes. Wow!! Our waitperson spoke English, yes thank you, he asked our likes/dislikes/dietary restrictions AND how hungry we were. His suggestions were so good! I wish I could remember the names of all the dishes we had, I'm telling you everything was most excellent. Clams, a potato/egg pancake (?) it's a must have and scallops! So fresh so tasty. They also have Steak, so if you don't like seafood there is something for everyone. Highly recommend trying out this place.
