    Busy morning
    Peter L.

    Delicious food. Shout out to Leo and his deep voice They accommodated us at the lazy minute on my birthday so that's good!

    We finally found this and a couple of spots that serve a traditional breakfast. The decor is very quaint and festively decorated for Christmas. The service was excellent and we were the one of their first customers as it was opening and within minutes it was packed. We ordered the regular eggs Benedict and their take on huevos rancheros, it had artisan corn tortillas, refried black beans and a meat mixture which kind of tasted like a good version of Taco Bell meat, surprisingly all the flavors really worked and it was delicious. I love eggs Benedict but usually the hollandsise sauce is too rich but this sauce was absolutely perfect and the skillet potatoes they served with both dishes were excellent. The coffe and freshly squeezed orange juice rounded out a glorious breakfast. This is a 4.5 for the food and service overall a great find. By the way we shared the food and I started eating it before the camera so their plating was impecable, I just got into it before the phone had a chance to eat!!

    Sorry, it looked so good I started eating before the picture was taken.   Eggs Benedict with smoked bacon. Yum.

    Everything was amazing! The eggs Benedict with smoked bacon was mouth watering. The dish is served with potatoes seasoned well and delicious. A small portion of salad is on the plate with yummy lemon dressing. My husband who was also amazed had the French toast with bananas, strawberries and blueberries. Tess did a fine job of keeping all the customers happy. We visited at 9am on a Saturday. We had a reservation which we made a week prior from the US. It was easy to make a reservation and The Benedict communicated promptly.

    We were looking for a sit down breakfast place that had more then pastries in the Barcelona Gothic area, we decided here as it was a less than 10min walk from hotel and open! (Most places were closed). Welcomed inside, friendly staff (speak English) , filled quickly as we got there when it opened at 10am. Food was absolutely delicious, and we had one healthy/picky eater, all plates were left empty. Vanilla latte, well I had to order 2 because so great. Many people had smoothies to drink or water (remember you have to purchase it) . The ambiance was good, American music in the background, prices good for the food quality. I would recommend as I look to visit this place again!

    Located in the Gothic Quarter, The Benedict is a great spot for breakfast and American food with a local twist. There was a minimal wait on a Sunday morning for two of us. There was a brunch offering - entree, two drinks, and "dessert" for €18.90. Otherwise, the menu had plenty of options. We had the Eggs Benedict with bacon and the Full English. Portions were generous, and both meals were delicious. Latte was perfectly made, and the orange juice was freshly squeezed. They have clean bathrooms upstairs. Takes cards and cash.

    We stumbled upon this place and thought it looked cute so we went in for lunch. It was nice to have breakfast and lunch options available (brunch is the best meal of the day after all). The service was a bit slow but they were very friendly. Beautiful decor inside and a lovely meal overall!

    Huevos Rancheros- yum!
    Jackie C.

    Cute decor, great music, very friendly service! Huevos Rancheros was delish!! Hubby had the Benedict- while delish, be prepared as the hollandaise sauce is not served hot. Flavor profile is on point and delish!!

    Outstanding breakfast. First even if the line is long. Wait. They turn the tables quick and the food is worth it. We were there on 10/31 staff was decked out for Halloween Of course eggs Benedict was great so was the omelette

    Pancakes

    Great service and amazing food. Benedicts were cooked just right and very flavorful. Get the cafe bombon- it was delicious!!!! The bathroom is upstairs and was clean with a cute decor. For tourists, the surrounding streets are cute to walk around in and take pics.

    Mango mimosa
    Chelsea B.

    This place is fun, has great mimosas and American options but maybe relies on its atmosphere a little more than the food. If you're an American looking for some home grown American pancakes don't count on it... they're more like IHOP pancakes.. to be fair though they didn't leave me running for the bathroom like IHOP.. everything else was good, the bacon is like European bacon (not crispy) I love that they have different flavors for mimosas though because I'm allergic to orange juice!! My boyfriend loved his huevos rancheros!!

    Eggs Benedict Riojano  €10.8
    Lynn T.

    For a place called The Benedict, they have really average eggs benedict. I ordered the Eggs Benedict Riojano per the waitresses suggestion, and it tasted fine! No complaints, but nothing amazing. The potatoes were also very under seasoned and not crispy at all. My friend ordered off the brunch menu (€16.9) and her eggs benedict had an overcooked egg. You'd really expect something more from The Benedict. Three stars because the waitress was kind and accommodating to our large group, but overall very unimpressed. Nice ambiance, but would rather go to Milk Bar Bistro the next door over.

    Hands down my favorite breakfast spot during my trip to Spain. The restaurant itself is super cute, we got a table immediately. Try their patatas fritas! Everything was great, their cappuccinos were well made too!

    Paradiso is one of the Top 50 Bars in the world and rightfully so! From the decor and service, to…read morethe unique cocktail menu, everything about this place was perfect. I came around 5pm on a Saturday, and it only took 20 minutes to get in. The bartenders were super friendly and spoke english which was a bonus. Their menu is constantly changing, so I forget the names of the drinks we ordered, but I also ordered a regular old fashion and they nailed it. I noticed another guest being a little rude to one of the bartenders. She was complaining about her drink so they made a new one, and another one after that. Had it been me, I probably would've gave up and asked them to leave lol, but they did not. Instead the opposite, which is very telling of the type of service you'll receive at this place. Overall this was my favorite cocktail bar in Spain, would I go again? Absolutely!

"How did they make this taste like that?" But for enjoying some twists on craft cocktail making? Not so great. Despite a wall full of both rare and classic bottles, most of what's featured on the menu is...eccentric at best. I had two after discussion with the bartender, and both were okay but not what I would enjoy drinking despite having a very broad palate. Although famously ranked by "50 best", this is a lot different than other cocktail bars on that list (I've visited quite a few of them), including the others in Barcelona. Perhaps having hit the number one spot before, they didn't know where to go from there? Nice staff but also missing was bartender banter (at least in English) I've found at most top bars - the bar experience is heavily about that interaction, especially for the solo customer. A positive - drinks are actually cheaper than fancy hotel bars in this city. What they offer *would* be great as a liquid tasting menu and I would return for that. But for full sized cocktails? Meh. Hence the 3 stars. Save it for a date or a "famous bars" crawl, but not for having delicious drinks that tickle the palate while getting the job done.

    Really enjoyed this bar and we can see why it's been named in the top 50 bars…read more The bartender was really engaging with the people which we enjoyed. The drinks were 8/10 The ambiance was generic but we had a good time. Definitely recommend trying it.

    Wow did we want to give this place 5 stars…read more The bartenders were great and welcoming and the decor was very cool. It is a pleasant place to be physically. All of the cocktails we tried were excellent (we had two more not featured on photos here). We went Sunday 4/19 around open (5pm ish until 7:30 ish). However, our experience was sort of ruined when a female employee came over and chided my wife and two other American patrons we were talking to for being too loud. They weren't being particularly loud and at this point we were the only four people sitting at the bar itself. She was not a bartender (at that time at least) and she completely ruined our vibe with this complaint. She had been eyeing one of the other American patrons we had been talking to before she came over and confronted my wife after she laughed. The bar tenders didn't seem to be aware this happened and when we were closing out they remarked they didn't think we had been loud and that they like their guests to have fun. This female employee apparently didn't get the memo! We sense that perhaps she just dislikes Americans, which would be rich for working at an establishment like this! She also had no issues when a dog other guests brought in barked loudly multiple times, each time silencing the entire bar because the barks were so booming. The other American couple felt the same way -- the stern talking to just ruined the experience for all four of us. So... great spot but our experience was unnecessarily tarnished by a jerk employee!!!
