Reem al Bawadi has very tasty middle eastern dishes in a very inviting atmosphere…read more I came in last spring at 8 or 9 with two friends and there was only one other table filled, which was odd considering it was in the middle of a heavily traffic part of the central city. We were warmly greeted, although there was a bit of a language/cultural barrier at times. The interior is extravagantly decorated with tapestries and cushioned seating. Several hookas were available, and I found the couple smoking a ways away were not bothersome at all. We decided on ordering the big '2 person' platter with a sample of nearly everything on the menu. It was gigantic and had mover a dozen different dishes. There was hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, dolmas, various meats, flat bread and rice. Each was very flavorful, carefully prepared and disappeared quickly. Although there were three of us, we hit a wall and could not finish off the platter. It did take some time to come out, maybe 45 minutes, but it was apparent why when it came out. The price was reasonable for the amount of food, but more than I am used to in Spain. Drop in to Reem al Bawadi for a flavorful bite from the near east.

Ziryab fell onto my radar as a popular tapas spot in Barcelona. I didn't make that many dining…read moreplans in advance before visiting the city, I just knew I wanted tapas. Ziryab seemed to fit the bill, so we made plans to stop here during our first night in the city. Ziryab is located close to the Gothic Quarter, on side street. It's kind of inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior gives way to a really welcoming space. The restaurant is separated into two main areas, with an earth-tone color scheme that has a rustic, almost cave-like aesthetic. The high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows keep the dining room open and spacious. The tapas menu had a good selection, and we decided on several items: pan con tomate, sweet potato rolls, chicken cannelloni, bacon-wrapped figs, croquettes, falafel, and a charcuterie board. All the tapas were great - my favorites were the chicken cannelloni, pan con tomate, and the charcuterie board. The cannelloni especially was a standout - definitely a unique dish, and the chicken was super flavorful. We opted for dessert, and got the feta whip cheesecake - this was great as well. The combination of tang and sweet was a good finisher to our meal. Service was great - everyone was friendly and our dishes were served at a good pace. Overall, I'm glad I tried out Ziryab - the tapas were delicious and atypical of ones you find elsewhere in Barcelona. I would have no qualms returning here for another meal.
