There was a lengthy menu of cocktails and excellent bar food (it is Barcelona after all...) for anyone's taste - not the usual super sweet and fruity drinks you find all over the city. I had a Bambino (a New York standby). And it was spot on. The bartenders were personable and knowledgeable - and knew their stuff. Also - happened in on a Sunday night and there was a jazz band playing - couldn't ask for a better wind down on a busy day. A great slice of Brooklyn in Barcelona!!!

The staff insisted they use 6cl of gin in each drink -- but honestly, it tasted like tonic water with little to no gin at all. For a place branding itself as a gin bar, this was extremely disappointing. The drinks were weak, overpriced for what we received, and the experience felt misleading. Sadly, I would not recommend this place if you actually expect a proper gin & tonic.

Amazing server, raised in Mexico and worked for Disney in the USA, fabulously hospitable. We wanted a chill place to enjoy a very light dinner, and The Rooftop was perfect. We had non alcoholic ginger beer (Fever Tree label) and hot tea, hummus with beautiful baby carrots, olives, and a salad of diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and a pinch of fresh mint. When it started to rain the servers quickly belied us move to a table under the canopy. Space heaters were nice. We could see one of the Gaudi buildings from our lovely rooftop venue.

The sandwich I had was a-ok, fresh and filling, and I enjoyed my Sex on the Beach cocktail - although it was supersweet, it felt more like a candy than like an actual alcoholic beverage (it had tons of actual candies on it, and I like my cocktails more strong-acid than mild-sweet) but it was OK too. So yes, Naranjito is a nice, humble neighbourhood spot, ideal if you want to have a good cocktail time with friends. Do not expect a super fancy venue though.

My wife and I were staying at a nearby hotel. Unfortunately, the area is limited in terms of food…read moreoptions after 7PM. We were getting tired of the usual tapas/tapes offerings found at every restaurant (patatas bravas, croquetas, tortillas, etc.). My wife is also vegetarian, which makes finding a place even tougher. Luckily, while looking around for a place to eat one night, we found La Greca. La Greca serves the standards (tapas, etc), but they also have burgers and veggieburgers. I ordered a cheeseburger, beer and a hard drink. My wife ordered nachos, a veggieburger and a beer. Everything was served quickly and fresh. My cheese burger was delicious. I mean, I was shocked at how good it was: the quality of meat and presentation were what made it so good. My wife liked everything she ordered too. Before we got the check, the owner of the restaurant asked how our meal was. We told him that it was very good--especially since it was different from what we had been eating everywhere else for the past several days. It turns out the owner is from Pakistan/northern India and, as such, we were able to have a full English conversation without using Google Translate. He was very nice and genuinely interested about our thoughts about how the meal was. We got our check and went back to our hotel (at that point it was pretty late...early dinners don't really exist in Spain). Two nights later my wife and I went back to La Greca, as I was craving another one of their burgers. When we got the restaurant, the owner remembered us and asked what we were having. As I started to order my burger, he stopped me and said, "You know, I have a special that's not listed on the menu." He went on to explain that it was a chicken curry dish from the region of Pakistan where he is from. I love curry, so I jumped at the opportunity to order it. He also offered to make a special vegetable curry for my wife. We ordered some drinks and my wife ordered the nachos again. After he brought out the nachos, he also brought both me and my wife two freshly made vegetable samosas. They were, honestly, the best samosas I've had in my life. Shortly after, our curries arrived. Once again, there was no disappointment. My chicken curry was perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and the chicken was fresh. My wife also enjoyed her vegetable curry--although, admittedly, it probably wasn't exciting as my chicken. When I ran out of chicken curry (with some basmati rice still left on my plate), the owner kindly asked if I needed more chicken curry for my plate and I happily accepted his offer. I eat a lot of food in a single sitting, so the initial portion was probably enough for the average person, but it was genuinely nice of him to ask (he didn't charge us extra $$ for it either). After we finished, we spoke with the owner some more. He told us that the meats and vegetables are served are purchased daily and there are no leftovers being served and, as a customer, that was apparent from the taste and quality of the meat and vegetables. Although, he did mention many dishes run out quickly because of that. All that said, if you are tired of the standard tapas/tapes (patatas bravas, croquetas, tortillas, etc.) and you're in the Selva de Mar area, definitely check out La Greca--I don't regret it and, hopefully, you won't either.
