Small place but definitely worth the stop (from Barcelona to Tarragona). Tiny little town but lovely and right in the centre, so it was quite easy for us to find... The food was just out of this world delicious, purely spanish/catalan and the closest you could ever get to authentic, mix of flavors was great (you'd think some of it wouldn't match but omg, it did). You can tell they "concentrate"on every dish and honestly, i don't know why they aren't more well known cause it is the best spanish food i have tried in a restaurant in like...ever. Totally recommended!

I needed to…read morespace out all my paellas and octopuses with some burgers and ramen in between - so hello Bernie's. Bernie's is one of the better options located near the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona. But it really is only one of the better ones because a lot of other "American" establishments are bad. You really make due with what you have. Their milkshakes are good. Nice and creamy but not too heavy. I had the chocolate milkshake and was a fan. My GF had their strawberry cheesecake milkshake and it was good, but tasted more like just strawberry than strawberry cheesecake. T-bone steak tasted similar to a decent american diner and it hit the spot. Their ribs are absolutely horrible though. They were overcooked, dry, bland, and slathered in a bad BBQ sauce. Do come if you miss home, but don't come expecting an amazing meal.

I ordered a Classic burger (cooked medium), fries, patatas bravas, a banana milkshake, a vanilla…read moremilkshake, and a banana split ice cream. All take out. - The burger was raw. We couldn't eat it. - The fries were as bland as fries can be. No seasoning, and like rubber. - The patatas bravas were literally just plain steak fries. Also no seasoning but most importantly no bravas sauce or aioli. - The banana milkshake was mostly milk. Vanilla wasn't bad. - Banana split was pretty good, but it's hard to mess up scoops of ice cream and toppings. The woman who took my order wasn't rude by any means, but she was cold and almost seemed bothered to be dealing with an American even though I spoke mostly in Spanish. If you're really desperate for American food in Barcelona, I guess you can find worse, but if you have time, I'd go elsewhere. For what it's worth, the atmosphere was cool. Good music and aesthetic. Place was clean.

Wandering around Gràcia in late August can be a bit of an adventure -- so many local spots close…read morefor holiday that finding a place that's actually open becomes its own challenge. After discovering that our first three choices were all shuttered, we ended up at La Pepita by default. Thankfully, it turned out to be a great find. We stopped in late in the afternoon, when the pace was relaxed but the energy still lively. The space had a fun, casual vibe -- the kind of place that feels effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The service was friendly and quick, and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. We ordered a few snacks and drinks, all of which hit the spot. Everything was flavorful, nicely presented, and perfect for sharing. Even though it wasn't quite the dinner rush, there was a steady flow of people, which tells me it's a popular spot year-round, not just a backup when others are closed. Overall, La Pepita was a happy surprise on an August afternoon -- great atmosphere, good food and drinks, and the kind of easygoing charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. Would absolutely go back. 4.5 Stars

It overlooks the promenade and seafront and has a range of veggie and Vegan options on the menu including a 'Vegan Burger with Chips' which is lovely. Next time we go back we'll try the 'Vegan Goan Curry' which looks great. They have soy milk too and were happy to Vegan-ise drinks that were on the menu e.g. they made us a soy café frappé. The do have 'Vegan Chai Latte' listed too. When we last ate at Red Velvet it coincided with the Sitges Tapas Festival. Every participating cafe and restaurant in the town had submitted one tapas dish which could be purchased for a limited period. Hats off to Red Velvet for submitting the only Vegan entry! Apparently they also have Vegan cakes in the Summer. A shame that they don't do them all year round! A great place for lunch (they only open in the evenings during the Summer season) and highly recommended. Fantastic, friendly service too

White and grisblue combined perfectly, the polished slate coloured concrete floor and the Eames chairs give the place a contemporary feel. The tables, counter and wooden balustrade add the 'rustic-ness'. It's very inviting. The restaurant has a small menu (which I think is how it's supposed to be) with vegetarian, gluten free and organic options. There are also dishes that change and are not on the menu. During our visit I've seen several orders for other guests pass by our table that caught my eye! The amuse bouche was very nice. Had one of the organic salads with red beetroot and as main course the chicken teriyaki. Both were very nice. Only thing for me was that the portion was a bit on the small size, partly probably because I didn't eat the rice due to my low carb diet. I was seriously considering having one of the dishes not on the menu: tower of grilled vegetables with a slice of goats cheese on top; it looked so nice every time it passed by our table (-: As a special treat I had a super nice chocolate chip cookie. The texture was just perfect! Extra nice as it was my only carb treat this month. Of course I will have to mention the special display with an assortment of cakes, cookies and cupcakes (also gluten free options). Very, very tempting! Espresso is 100% ecologically grown and the tea organic. All in all the diner experience was very nice. Not at all like most of the tourist oriented places a place like Sitges is obviously littered with. A nice place to relax and enjoy some responsible food!

Ah, the best fish tacos I've had in my eight years in Barcelona!…read more This place is small and kind of dive-y, just a few blocks away from Avinguda Paral.lel, and just off of the Ronda de Sant Pau. They do offer outdoor seating as well, so we didn't feel at all crowded. Our host/waiter was quick and offered explanations in fluent English. The music was mid-70's to mid-80's while we were there, so that offered a nice vibe. As for those fish tacos: made with cod fillets, very lightly battered and breaded, and grilled to a toasty golden color. Each was topped with a wedge of avocado, diced red onion, chipotle mayonnaise and garnished with fresh cilantro. Oh, and there was a fresh lime wedge for each of the three tacos in the order. Although they have another restaurant closer to the Arc de Triomf (which offers a much more expansive menu) this joint really has me wanting to come back for another round of those tacos - perhaps with a margarita this time.
