It was our last night in Barcelona and my friends and I wanted to go out with a bang. After a week of eating our way through the city, we figured we'd treat ourselves to something a little fancier, so we booked a table for seven at Suculent, a spot we'd seen on the Michelin Guide. They do a 9-course tasting menu for around €70, which felt like a total steal for that kind of experience. We were hoping for a fun, memorable final dinner and Suculent definitely delivered. One cool surprise right off the bat was that our table was in the back room, and to get there, we actually walked through the kitchen. It kind of felt like we were being let in on a secret. The space in the back was small and intimate, perfect for a group. The vibe was cozy but cool, not at all stuffy, and our server was honestly amazing. Super friendly, super knowledgeable, and really helped make the night special. We didn't go for the full wine pairing, but he still helped us pick a few bottles that paired perfectly with the different courses. It felt like he genuinely wanted us to have a great experience, and we definitely did. read more

This was our favorite dining experience on our entire trip! The food beats some of the Michelin rated places we've had in other provinces, that's how good it was. We got the standard menu with 9 passes. They were so accommodating of allergies and replaced a few passes from items on their other menus and WOW! That did not disappoint. The place is cozy but elegant and our waiter was wonderful. He was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I would go into detail for each dish, but words cannot even describe how delicious everything was. The dessert, while simple, left us breathless. Phenomenal place - a must visit! read more

I came here for lunch and had a decent meal. I didn't care much for the items on the tasting menu, so ordered a la carte for items I usually would enjoy. I had: * Pink tomato, tomato gelee, pickles, and smoked mackerel * Lobster tartar with chicken skin * Scallop with cava and clam sauce * Grilled aubergine in chicken sauce * Stuffed strawberries with yogurt and rose gelee My favorite was the scallop with cava and clam sauce. The scallops just melt in your mouth. The lobster tartar was a tad salty, and it used a solid chicken skin as a chip to scoop up the lobster tartar. How can you say no to lobster and chicken fat together? The "grilled" aubergine seemed to have been poached, as it was super soft, almost with a slimy texture (1 star off), but it had a good smokey flavor. The tomatoes were so-so (1 star off). Several dishes could be served in half portions, so if you just want a sample, ordering the half sizes could save space in your stomach for other items from the menu. What I found odd was that the waitstaff *insisted* I order half portions because he thought I ordered too much. I did not want to argue in Spanish, so obliged. I was not full at the end. read more

KenScale: 8.25/10 Visit: August 2024 On our second day in Barcelona this past summer, my wife Jun and I were joined by a long-time friend who came to attend the wedding of our mutual friend. I had always wanted to show the magnificent Sagrada Familia of the famed architect Antoni Gaudi so we headed over mid-morning to beat the tourist traffic. It was another scorching hot day in August, and after walking around the church and fighting for photo spots for an hour or so, we were ready to head out for a relaxing lunch at Suculent in the Raval district. This restaurant had been on my radar since it was featured in New York Times' Barcelona guide a couple of years ago, and I'm glad I chose this spot for a very satisfying lunch. At Suculent, led by chef Toni Romero (who once worked at the venerable elBulli), you could opt for either tasting menus (both options at less than €100 per person) or a la carte during lunch time. As all three of us only arrived in Barcelona the day before and weren't as hungry as we would've been due to time difference, we decided to share a number of dishes. I was quite pleasantly surprised how delicious all the dishes were. The modern Catalan cooking from Suculent was exciting with ingenious touches here and there and, more importantly, the fresh ingredients were prepared with high level of precision. After a scoop of cuttlefish and Iberian pork jowls tartare in almond milk sauce underneath, you would instantly realize that this place is no ordinary restaurant. I probably could've finished the dish all on my own without sharing with my beloved wife and our friend. The refreshing red prawn ceviche with avocado was a perfect antidote to the punishing heat we were just experiencing, and the beet root with smoked eel in beurre blanc sauce was another highlight of our meal. The larger dishes were no less delicious, like the lamb neck with ras el hanout spice mix from North Africa and the lovely crispy suckling pig that we had to give a try since we were in Spain. Even for simple desserts, the kitchen at Suculent was masterful. After taking a bite of cheesecake, our friend immediately asked our server if he could later come back to the restaurant for take-outs; it was that memorable, with ethereal texture that I struggled to remember having experienced elsewhere from hundreds of cheesecakes that I had tasted before. Jun was also very fond of the flan with its immaculately smooth and creamy texture, and I agree that it probably ruined flan for us at other restaurants in the foreseeable future. Getting a reservation at Suculent was not overly challenging, and the dining room was nearly empty until people started showing up around 2 p.m. (people in Spain do eat pretty late, we have observed in our trip). We really liked the cozy décor of the restaurant that makes you feel like you are dining at someone's house. The service was warn and friendly with everyone on the staff speaking fluent English. The wine list exploring diverse regions of Spain is another highlight from the restaurant. Suculent is the kind of restaurant that you want to visit over and over again. It's by no means the type of haute cuisine from multiple Michelin-starred restaurants in Barcelona and in other parts of Spain, but the high level of sophistication and precise cooking from the restaurant will leave a fond memory for anyone living in or visiting Barcelona. read more

DONT LET THE LOOKS FOOL YOU. The aesthetics and plating was great. However, the food was not. Everything was heavy, heavily salted, and lacked flavor profiles. We had the pri fix menu, suculent. 85 euros per person. We had high expectations and left very disappointed. I took about 1 bite per dish and could not bother to take another. You would think if I didn't eat any of the dishes, they would ask if everything was okay. But no checks in how it tasted. No consideration for timing. The dishes came all at once and some took very long to come. We've had many fine dining experiences and it had to top being one of the worst ones yet. read more

I had such a delightful dining experience at Suculent. Per the recommendation of a friend of a friend, I made reservations after hearing them promise that I wouldn't be disappointed. Long story short: they were 100% right. I ordered from the Suculent tasting menu (€80) and enjoyed a robust selection of small plates. While I won't list each dish, I will say, with unshaken conviction, that this is one of the best meals I've had in a while. The cherry on top? I didn't leave hungry!! A must-go if you're in Barcelona! read more

I had an amazing culinary experience dining at Suculent. The atmosphere is relaxed but trendy. I got to walk through to kitchen to get to my table which was nifty! We both got the menu suculent and everything from start to finish was amazing. The chefs personally shone through each dish. The flavors all flowed together so well, I was impressed dish after dish. We added the caviar to the beetroot, amazing. I feel lucky to have been able to snag a table on our last day on my trip to Barcelona. It's a must if you're in the area! read more

UGH. This place is SO good! It will forever be imprinted in my memory of wonderful restaurant experiences. SUCULENT was admittedly not on my list originally of places to try in Barcelona, but my lovely and amazing +1 mentioned it to me early in the morning & we were lucky enough to grab a table reservation. Nestled in the western end of downtown Barcelona, SUCULENT has the most interesting entrance with an automatic glass door that makes it look super modern. Enter in though, and in actuality, the restaurant is super rustic/old-school and lovely - even the silverware was awesome. Although the restaurant looks like it extends back a little, we sat in one of the only tables near the front next to the bar early in the evening, 6PMish, when the restaurant was super quiet and made for a more intimate experience. (By 9PM, the restaurant was bustling!) Once seated, we were first with a server who only spoke Spanish and super kind. Around the end of the meal, the server switched to someone who did speak English/Spanish interestingly as things got busier. There were two options for us - the classics (with about 9 dishes for 60 euros and a wine pairing for 30) and the suculent menu (which came with 13 dishes for 80 euros and a wine pairing for 40). We went with the classics personally which was more than enough food and super filling along with the wine pairing (which was literally a new wine sample for nearly all the courses!) Let's breakdown what we had: +Anchovies, orange gelee, and olives: Surprisingly really delicious. A really bold mishmash of salt and sweet. +Roasted duck croquette: Another hit. Although it looks small, the duck is super flavorful. Not game-y at all. +Red prawn ceviche, avocado, corn: So citrus-y and delicious. The ingredients paired amazingly with one another. +Grilled maitake with pine nuts: The sauce is the star! The mushroom was cooked perfectly and the crunch of the nuts was great. +Steak tartare over grilled bone marrow: I think this was the prettiest dish out of the menu although the flavor was not as bold/imaginative as the others (but not bad). Loved the concept of putting steak tartare on a bone. +Stingray with black butter and citric mashed potatoes: A good dish - also plated beautifully. Not my absolute favorite but super tender. +Lamb neck with ras el hanout, quinoa, and herbs: Admittedly we were getting full and pretty buzzed by this point, but luckily this wasn't heavy at all. The herbs/yogurt was a great contrast to the more flavorful lamb. +Stuffed strawberries with white chocolate, yogurt, and vanilla: Super cute dessert. And really loved it. Super light, not overly sweet, yet still packs a great flavor. +Brie and vanilla cheesecake: Perhaps the least decorative dish, but my favorite dessert out of the two. Fluffy/light - super different from the normal cheesecake. I wish I could list all the wine we got, but unfortunately forgot to take a picture of most of them. They were a mixture of whites, reds, and sweet wine. Well thought out in terms of how each complemented the dish it came with. So yeah - if you have the time and money, 110% go to SUCULENT. What a memorable ride. And got to watch my lovely +1 rave about the food in a lovely monologue that made me even more enamored. :) read more

The food was good, very different but was very good! The bartender ( we sat at the bar, was not very friendly) but tapas was served quickly. I was informed that as we sat at the bar that it was a restaurant And not a bar, even though we were willing to continue purchasing drinks to try each item on the tapas menu. The food was good however the service by the bartender was sub par. I realize this was a Michelin star restaurant and probably somewhere we should have avoided. 4 stars if we received better service. read more

We were on an organized tour thru Curate trips and Paladar y tomar - a luxury travel tour operator. This is 'dinner one' on our first night and it was amazing! We had a selection of tapas and desserts that were paired perfectly with our wine. We were seated in a back room behind the kitchen (by the fresh herb garden) so while it was a tight fit, the ambiance was perfect. We had selections such as anchovy, orange /olive creation, beef tartare, and a fantastic strawberry/vanilla creamer dessert that I wish I knew how to make!! I've take a selection of pictures.

Best meal and service I have had in a long time. Highly recommend the succulent tasting menu. Great value, amazing flavors!

Absolutely freaking amazing food, the staff are incredible and the ambiance is delightful.

Jamie W. and I have been looking forward to our return to Barcelona ever since we came together nine years ago. I had been to this artfully unique city once before and just fell in love with it ever since. Let me just say this was a transcendent dining experience that matched our fond recollections of Barcelona, and yet we were so close to not patronizing the restaurant as their website almost lost me in translation. I had actually meant to make a reservation at the vegetable-focused 4amb5, but it kept forcing me to accept a reservation here. I didn't realize until we arrived that Suculent is indeed 4amb5's sister restaurant. In fact, they are right next to each other on the Rambla del Raval and offer dishes from each other's menu. I didn't know anything about Suculent until I took another look at the Barcelona episode of "I'll Have What Phil's Having". I saw Phil enjoy some appetizing tapas with a couple of locals at La Taverna del Suculent, a neighboring bar which turned out to be under the same owner as Suculent. I figured the same kitchen serviced both, so I kept the reservation. So glad I did as it turned out to be a most memorable first meal in Barcelona consisting of a wonderfully sublime series of artfully appetizing tapas in quite a compact space that would struggle to accommodate more than twenty guests at a time. As luck would have it, Jamie and I were seated nearest the front door, so we saw several young couples get turned down for tables. In other words, make a reservation as this is not your typical drop-by gathering spot. There were four set menus offered including one from 4amb5, but since I convinced my hotel to make a later reservation at 4amb5, Jamie and I decided to go for the 75€ Menu SucuXLent. It consisted of a welcome cocktail, three appetizers, four starters (not sure how that would be different from an appetizer), six dishes, and three desserts. The high notes came right away with the cocktail which was an inviting mix of Sherry, Orange Bitters, and Vermouth (photo: http://bit.ly/2gGoxc5). It was ridiculously smooth and luxuriant and the perfect match for the intimate setting as well as the salty-tasty complimentary olives (photo: http://bit.ly/2yQecCC) and freshly baked rustic bread (photo: http://bit.ly/2xrSzY4). Then the first plate arrived, a pair of Lobster and Salted Cod Croquettes that amounted to a couple of crispy bites of lushly seaworthy joy (photo: http://bit.ly/2gI2YrU). A delightful Waldorf Salad was then presented on a celery stick (photo: http://bit.ly/2yU6hXc) followed by a pair of luscious Grilled Oysters in Pistachio Cream and Citric Acid with Capers (photo: http://bit.ly/2zU7USH). Fresh San Marzano Tomatoes were sprinkled with Spring Flowers and Capers mixed in Tomato Jelly to dazzling effect (photo: http://bit.ly/2yOLHry). Three astonishing seafood dishes came in quick succession - Prawn Ceviche with Avocado & Citrus (photo: http://bit.ly/2iD3Gef), Grilled Crayfish with pieces of Rabbit on top (photo: http://bit.ly/2i7qwGJ), and a chopped Smoked Sardine alternating with spoonfuls of Trout Roe swimming in an Andalucian cold soup called Ajoblanco (photo: http://bit.ly/2i86xYu). A uniquely flavorful tapa came next, a Chicken's Comb served on a piece of crunchy Chicken Skin (photo: http://bit.ly/2yQfTTg) followed by the bit more generic Grilled Wild Mushrooms in another local cold soup (photo: http://bit.ly/2gENaGi). The showpiece of the dinner arrived, Steak Tartare over Grilled Marrowbone. It came decadently with a sweep of fresh tobiko for texture and a series of lighter-than-air potato pillows (photo: http://bit.ly/2hdsNAL). Decadent, delicious and entirely original in execution. Two more seafood tapas followed - a saucy platter of Steel Eel pieces mixed with similar size Potato Crisps (photo: http://bit.ly/2zSe5GQ) and the truly wonderful Grilled Tuna Belly and Cherry Tomatoes in a Pine Nut Emulsion (photo: http://bit.ly/2y78eAx). An indulgently rich Foie Gras Cannelloni arrived to our delight with pieces of Rabbit and ended the savory portion of our feast (photo: http://bit.ly/2i9mfm7). The trio of desserts started on a fresh note with Figs in Yogurt Mousse and Pistachio Cream (photo: http://bit.ly/2i9mqOj). This was followed by a dazzling plate of Strawberry Vanilla Cream Puffs showered with Rose Petals (photo: http://bit.ly/2zTJ4Ta) and ended with the sweetness of the Brie and Mascarpone Cheesecake topped with Moscatel Jelly (photo: http://bit.ly/2yUaM3T). Wow. Espressos needed (photo: http://bit.ly/2yPwjZE). Mic drop. The end. FOOD - 5 stars...extraordinary, a standing ovation to chef Antonio Romero who worked the line at Ferran Adrià's legendary El Bulli AMBIANCE - 5 stars...intimate but not stiff or remote SERVICE - 5 stars...thoroughly attentive TOTAL - 5 stars...the name says it all...one of the top dinners we've had in this world, bar none...and not all that expensive considering read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem, near our hotel. Yes, its in a sketchy area and you need reservations. One of the finest meals I've had in Barcelona. We had the Succulent tasting menu. The restaurant is fairly clean and staff is nice. Please get reservations before you come. I think this is a Michelin 1 star, if not it is worthy of one. read more

They ruined my life. I'm never going to enjoy cheesecake, octopus, or tuna again after this meal. Such unique preparations. The best meal I had in Barcelona, potentially the best meal I've had all year. If you are in Barcelona, you MUST have a meal at Suculent! Watch out, they also have a tavern by the same name just 30 feet away on the same block, make sure you go to the restaurant! read more

In terms of food, I would say this restaurant was the best in our 32 days trip in Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy. We ordered four dishes and each was awesome! There was a taste of Asian in their cuisine, such as the miso in the eel. read more

Suculent is a great restaurant, me and my boyfriend went here a Saturday night and we were not dissapointed. The dishes were small, but not to small. We had three courses and a cheese platter, it was enough to share for us. I would really recommend the prawn ceviche with avocado and lemongrass. The restaurant was quite small and the tables were close to each other but it seemed charming and not to tight. If we return to Barcelona again we will definitely go back and try more food!! :) read more

Suculent - Prawn ceviche with avocado and lemongrass - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

Toqued by Antonio Romero, a graduate of the School of Hospitality Costa Azahar with subsequent stage at elBulli as well as Akelarre and Maison Pic it is surprising to many that Suculent has managed to fly underneath the Michelin radar for so long, but if dinner on the last night in Barcelona is any indication this may actually be a good thing for diners as the €75 Menu SucuXLent proved to be an unequivocal bargain for a party of two seated at the counter where they were treated to sixteen courses of innovative market-fresh cuisine paired to excellent service. Well regarded by his peers and several well-traveled gourmands for creating a simple and honest Restaurant not far from Las Ramblas, several tourists mistakenly stopping in during service expecting another Tapas Bar kindly directed next door to Romero's more casual La Taverna, those making reservations at Suculent are welcomed by a staff of three servers including one bilingual bartender and with the menu divided into four individual tastings tailored to the guests' liking the decision is simply one of appetite. Long and narrow with less than two-dozen seats, the walls of the former Cellar dark green and wood with little adornment, it is shortly after sitting down that guests are presented with a bowl of Olives alongside a stiff Cocktail of Vermouth and Fruit, the choice of a menu quickly seeing the first of several appetizers offered in the form of "Our Waldorf" featuring a crisp stalk of Celery topped with sliced Apples, Blue Cheese and Grapes. Choosing to sip Cava along with dinner, the Chef's description of his Food as "Produce based and focused on the pure flavor of each product" making anything dry particularly well suited to more than half of the night's plates, it was after a brief delay during which housemade Sourdough was served that two plump Oysters draped in Pork Jowl and blanketed with Pistachio Cream were presented, the flavor fresh with tempered minerality and a smooth finish while the Croquetta was gold and crispy around a center of Cheese, Lobster and Cuttlefish. Stepping back and forth between Spanish and Mediterranean flavors, modern technique frequently used to intensify Sauces or Stocks, it was with a refreshing Ceviche of Market Tomatoes in cryoconcentrated Water Lilly Tea that the first of four 'Starters' was served next, the ingredient quality readily evident just as it was in the following Salad of Beets in spicy Mandarin Broth. Growing heavier with subsequent plates, but quick to scale back with a lighter dish after particularly intense flavors in the manner of his teachers, it was here at the third intermediate plate that Chef Romero sent out his famous whole Lobster made into Tartare and served with Chicken Skins, everything about this dish comforting yet elegant with each bite a little smaller in hopes of making it last. Next focusing diners' attention on Garlic, first as a fragrant Soup with Apples and Trout Roe and then with a whole Clove intended to be squeezed and smeared on flaky Vegetable Flatbread, it was after these two plates that eight squares of Tuna Belly were served between dehydrated Cherry Tomatoes with Smoked Cream, the latter not particularly necessary given the quality of the Fish but nice for adding a little dimension just the same. Playing off the idea of Mexican Street Corn next, the apparent "char" actually a smear of Black Olive that was messy but worthwhile in adding salinity to the otherwise sweet Kernels, it was once again here that Suculent chose to show off their sourcing with several styles of foraged Mushrooms cooked tender atop Black Pepper and Cheese with grated Parmesan, the beautiful Zucchini Blossom "Samosa" to follow far lighter than one might expect for something stuffed with Lamb Sausage. Rounding out the savories with a "Steak" of Cabbage served next to thinly sliced Fries slicked in spicy Egg Yolk, the slab of Herb Butter adding a both flavor and succulence to the tender Crucifer, it was after wiping up all the residual sauce with another slice of Bread that Dessert commenced, plates one and two focusing on the simple sweetness of Figs and Strawberries next to textural condiments while the Cheesecake was intended to be eaten by hand with the flavor of Wine and Maria Cookies making for a elegant, lingering finale. read more

Suculent divides the menu into three sizes. We chose the middle size, which consisted of several appetizers, main dishes and two desserts. Wine was paired with the dishes. Started off OK. Dishes like green olives with apple gelée, tomato salad, shrimp with cracked corn kernels, etc. Flavors were OK, not quite Michelin class, but perhaps the progression of flavors would improve. The lobster tartar on chicken skin was on the edge but we thought, "Ok, he's pushing the limits." Then came the chicken comb served on chicken skin. We found out why no one serves chicken comb...ever. At least not to people they like. Next was "steak tartar" with fish eggs on a split bone of cooked marrow. Sound interesting? If you'd like to give it a whirl mix raw hamburger with salmon eggs and you'll experience it. The eel on potato tasted like fishy bits of rubber desperately trying to run away from a paper pulp prison. All the while the chef was seen screaming at staff through the kitchen door; dishes were flung in faces or into the garbage. The wait staff was very nice. Our waitress bent over backwards in all the chaos to do her best. And the dessert was very good. The two delicious desserts kept me from running to my hotel and retching up the rest. read more

Went for dinner at Suculent and it was fantastic. We ordered among other things a smoked sardine and tobiko soup, a pickled foie, ox tongue stew, grilled octopus, grilled squid with foie, and to finish a brie ice cream. I enjoyed every dish especially the squid with foie and brie ice cream. The ox tongue was nothing special for me, but everything else was delicious. The service was very friendly especially since we dont speak spanish. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the meal cost 70 euros per couple including drinks, which is not too too expensive given the meal, but im cheap :) Note: they have outdoor seating across the street which is really nice read more

Easily the best meal we had in Barcelona. The crescendo of the meal for us was when after being served 13 or so dishes of some of the most delicious (dare I say succulent :) plates of food we've ever eaten, we were getting to the point of loosening our belts, melting into our chairs, and preparing for the delicious desserts to come. The server then brings us two massive, mind-bogglingly good pork ribs to put us over the edge into pure meat-induced satisfaction. They were so. damn. good. We ordered the medium tasting menu (they have a small and larger menu) and the deliciousness just kept on coming. It was basically a never-ending train of food where each dish was surprising and delicious. Highlights include the beef tartare in top of a bone stuffed with delicious marrow, octopus on top of garbanzo beans, the pork ribs, and the mango dessert. What I really like about this place is that the food isn't "foofy". No molecular gastronomy or art-on-a-plate. The dishes are rustic and clearly built with one goal: to be as delicious as possible. read more

Recommended by local friends in Barcelona, Suculent is a nice, friendly place for Spanish tapas. The tapas were nicely done, even the locals that I went with were very complimentary. I definitely left very full and ready for a siesta. I went on a Sunday and they had live music during lunch. I would say that the lunch is on the pricey side, 50 euros per person. Someone mentioned that it is part owned by the owner of Commerc 24 and Tapas 24 and someone else who just loves to eat. read more

What an exquisite selection of food. The service was amazing, the pairing were perfect and it is truly a must in Barcelona.

This was the worst meal in my life for the money with the most pretense and arrogance related to the whole experience. For someone to like this, is beyond me unless they want the self centered feeling of radical dining? Ok look at the photos and do you really think there's a reasonable amount of bunny brain, or lamb neck, prawn head but no body, lobster head, but no body? It was like they picked up what they serve from a local restaurants debris box, as you are served all that is thrown away by any other restaurant and served as gourmet food, I just can't buy into that! To make matters worse the portions were over the top smallest portions you could imagine, which maybe was a good thing, as I couldn't imagine eating larger portions of what just tasted bad! In my pictures, those are the full portions of what was served. Next, the service was too fast, with a hint of arrogance and the noise level was over the top. They stacked dirty dishes loudly on a table within the room, that created a constant shrill noise level as they sped around the room. They also had the ordering computer on "bright" in the room and were constantly running over to it and poking at it, covering the whole establishment. Lastly you never had to ask where the bathroom was, as the door was always wide open, except when in use, added a lot to the ambiance and based on their serving basically animal garbage, added to not only to our taste buds but our experience through aroma. I'm not a good prude, check out my other reviews "cobra in Vietnam" (that was good). I mean, with the ground lobster heat, they had the tail with the full lobster, but a totally empty tail section. So, u just had a thimble full of ground lobster head, but no body/tail. It a bit of an example of charge a lot and server what normal people would not eat and serve the garbage of an animal and folks will think they are dining exotic and the must, as some have it a high rating! Please look at the pictures, again, they are as served, not after eating. read more

Went off Yelp recommendations and wandered into what I thought was going to be an amazing meal on holidays. Sadly, there were dozens of little flies buzzing around one of the tables, with none of the wait staff even trying to do anything about it. We grabbed a seat and everything else looked nice enough, but my girlfriend ended up feeling sick at the thought of eating from a kitchen that might have so little disregard to cleanliness as the people in the front and we ended up outside at some unsatisfying Turkish place instead having walked a fair distance to come here especially. read more

Pricey, but delicious! I really want to return, with my non-vegetarian friends - so that I can try all the fabulous things they offer - without the restrictions imposed on the plate sharing we were attempting. What I can say, which I can't say about many places in Barcelona - is that they do vegetables justice. The most memorable dish for me was the green peas with pea shoots (something I have never seen in my 4+ years living here... pea shoots! I'm growing peas on my balcony just for the greens). The cheese tablet was also lovely - with great flavors and variety. The quality is high, and the flavors were exquisite. Now all i need is a "special occasion" to justify a return visit there. With other omnivores. read more

I did some research before going to Spain and found this place recommended in a few foodie blogs. I made a reservation online for 8:30pm on a Wednesday. The reservation turned out to be unnecessary - we were the only two people inside - except for 2 girls at the bar (who were told they couldn't have a table because they didn't have a reservation - odd if you ask me). The food was fantastic. We love to try strange new things so we picked the most bizarre things we could find on the menu. We had the pig tail (yum - tasted like rosemary and garlic chicken wings sort of), the calf tail (fall off the bone and meaty with carrots and a dark wine gravy), prawn ceviche (really more like raw prawns in a soup type thing with some avocado - not my favorite), foie gras mouse (fabulous - if you like foie get it!!!), and the brie cheesecake for dessert which may have been one of the best desserts i have ever eaten in my life. it was divine...like nothing i have ever tasted. just try it! This place is in the Raval area - a bit off of where most tourists visit. But if you like to try new things i would highly recommend this place. (Oh and they have an english menu - just ask for it!) read more

After winding our way through Barcelona we came to this adorable,quaint, quintessentially Spanish restaurant. Even thought we didn't have a reservation, it was easy to get into. What a meal for our first night in Spain. Starting with some of the best olives I've ever had, we had the artichoke with quail egg, Serrano ham, and truffle oil! So rich and creamy, good with some of their succulent bread! Our next tapas was the Spanish octopus with the most fragrant hummus. That was followed by roasted bone marrow topped with steak tartar. It was one of the best meals I've had in ages! The staff were friendly and the wine delectable! A true Spanish treat! read more

Suculent was recommended to us by a local Chef (bcnKitchen - another recommendation). It was a terrific meal with some inventive local cuisine. We had the small tasting menu which was more than enough for my wife and I. The calf and mushroom croquette was amazing. The ox tongue was so tender and delicious. I know many readers will be scared away with some items on the menu, but suspend your preconceptions and enjoy the flavour and execution. Charming rustic decor and lovely neighbourhood too. read more

Amazing little place. Great tapas and friendly staff. Go for the white asparagus, prawn civiche and lamb neck.
