However, the service was crazy slow -- slower than the normal speed of Spanish places! It took a long time for the server to come out to our table and take our order. When we wondered why, after 20 mins., our COLD snacks haven't come out yet, we were told that they lost our ticket! Another 10 mins. went by before they brought out our drinks and our food. We were even with our friend who's a native, so it wasn't because the staff was snubbing us as tourists... Go ahead and try it if you have lots of time and are patient; otherwise, skip it and go down the street to Palomares instead.

Staff was very friendly. Gave us a table outside even though we didn't have a reservation. The sole…read moremeneire was delicious. The octopus was also good, and the grilled vegetable platter was nice. We would go back.

Our waitress was a totally charming young lady who put up with our questions in broken Spanish and Catalan (think French, speak Spanish). We had bowl of deep fried txiperones (baby squid) that was perfect, a salad with a fried slab of goat cheese, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pepitas And fried eggplant with blue cheese and honey (the star of the night). A couple of glasses of the house white and a guy wearing a Nirvana t-shirt playing flamenco guitar made for a perfect evening.

Bar del Mig was recommended to me by my AirBnb host. Ended up coming here for dinner, and was very…read morehappy I listened to her recommendation. The inside is small and narrow, but has plenty of tables in the plaza outside. I opted for a seat at the bar. The bartender/manager(?) was VERY friendly and patient with my lack of Spanish. Eventually I was able to communicate to him to just order whatever 4 tapas he thought were the best and any beer that wasn't an IPA. Ended up with the patatas allioli dall negre, croquettes iberic, pop a la gallega, and fruita patata brie. All of the dishes I enjoyed, but my favorites were the Patatas bravas and pop a la gallega. Patatas were cooked perfect, the allioli was rich and flavorful, a nice variation of the patatas bravas. The pop a la gallega was incredible!! In America, I usually get octopus in chirashi bowls at sushi restaurants, and they've always been chewy, rubbery filler items. Here, the octopus was very tender, the whole dish was an absolute incredible balance of flavors and textures. If I came back to Barcelona again I would definitely try and come out to Premià de Mar just to visit this restaurant again! I regret not being able to find time to come back a second time during my trip.
