Super centric, just across from the 'metro' (train that actually goes to downtown Barcelona), it has 2 levels but most of the action happens in the busy terrace. Full of people at all times, even during covid times. I love their patatas bravas and their assortment of salamis. Brutal is fun name for an epic gastro pub where you can have just a beer or seriously good tapas and great conversations (no one watching their phones).

Being my last night in Barcelona before flying back to the US I was not in the mood of a lavish dinner. However, considering that Merkado was the restaurant of the hotel and, after all, is not nice to go to bed with empty stomach, I decided to try it out. Not the usual 'hotel food' you might be used to! This was a total solo pleasure, I just had 3 items but fully enjoyed and wonderful. I was ready to order the full menu of tapas but the waiter was very nice to advise against it as it would be too much for me (I was expecting really small tapas). The little pulpitos conquered my heart, so tender and delicious. Having an orchid in a vase just for you...another delight for the eyes. Surprise surprise the price was pretty moderate for being a restaurant located in a fancy hotel and the great quality and service.

While I was enjoying my Strawberry Kiss, Expresso Martini, and Valentino (obviously, into sweets), my fiancé had a few glasses of beer, Old Fashion, and Bourbon on the rocks. All so good and the bartenders really took their time to prepare each cocktail that I ordered. As for the food.. it's not solid Spanish food but more like a twist on Spanish, and Asian.. very good. Came out quick and hot. The service -- Amazing. Everyone was so friendly and attentive.

Lowest price item was patatas bravas for €4.5 and were underwhelming to say the least. Despite plenty of pesky rosemary twigs on the spuds the flavor was not present. It came with 2 sauces that did not add much to the dish. The same goes for pop corn chicken - bland and a bit tough. Burrata was good, but expensive, and came on a bed of lettuce not meant for consumption and with a dollop of tomato ice cream that did not go well with the soft cheese, or even by itself. We also tried shrimp, some short rib sliders and tuna tartare, which was everyone's favorite, but still not worth the price. The drinks did not impress either. My husband got a smoked Negroni. It looked super cool when served, but the smoke dissipated quickly and left behind a boring sweet drink. Daiquiri didn't blow anyone away either. In other words, this place is definitely not worth the hype.
