They were able to accommodate me and my friends (party of 6) on a Thursday night. We literally almost order one of everything! All the food that was brought out was freshly made!

For the quality and amount of food we ate and the amount of wine we drank when we received the bill I was surprised as how affordable it was.

Coming from SF and LA I am accustomed to high-caliber food. I am writing this reviews 2 years after the fact and can't recall what I had but I certainly enjoyed my meal, the ambiance and the neighborhood. Price-wise I would say it is medium to high. I highly recommend Belmonte. You won't be disappointed. ******* Belmonte es uno de los mejores restaurantes que probe durante mi estadia en Espana. Esta estadia incluyo Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian y Valencia. He vivido en Los Angeles y San Francisco y estamos acostumbrados a comida de alta calidad y Belmonte nos impresiono a todos. Si mi encuentro de nueve en Barcelona seguramente iria a Belmonte de nuevo.

It was our last night in Barcelona and my friends and I wanted to go out with a bang. After a week…read moreof eating our way through the city, we figured we'd treat ourselves to something a little fancier, so we booked a table for seven at Suculent, a spot we'd seen on the Michelin Guide. They do a 9-course tasting menu for around €70, which felt like a total steal for that kind of experience. We were hoping for a fun, memorable final dinner and Suculent definitely delivered. One cool surprise right off the bat was that our table was in the back room, and to get there, we actually walked through the kitchen. It kind of felt like we were being let in on a secret. The space in the back was small and intimate, perfect for a group. The vibe was cozy but cool, not at all stuffy, and our server was honestly amazing. Super friendly, super knowledgeable, and really helped make the night special. We didn't go for the full wine pairing, but he still helped us pick a few bottles that paired perfectly with the different courses. It felt like he genuinely wanted us to have a great experience, and we definitely did.

I would go into detail for each dish, but words cannot even describe how delicious everything was. The dessert, while simple, left us breathless. Phenomenal place - a must visit!

La Mestressa is such a great vibe and one of the defining experiences from my trip to Barcelona!…read moreHere are a few highlights: 1. The neighborhood - I stayed at the AC Hotel Sants while visiting Barcelona. The Barcelona Sants train station was adjacent to the hotel, and the property was in a walkable neighborhood surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, and other businesses. There was also a deceptively nondescript alley right next to the hotel that I didn't explore right away. Turns out, that alley leads to a vibrant, hidden plaza (Plaça d'Osca) with restaurants and shops, where locals in the Sants neighborhood hang out. This is also where La Mestressa is located. 2. The food and drinks - I got dinner with two friends at La Mestressa one evening. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, a bottle of wine, and a wide selection of tapas, croquettes, and a couple main dishes. My personal favorites from the meal were the sangria, patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with sauce), octopus, and the salmon salad (not pictured). Each of those dishes were well-seasoned, had great textural contrast, and provided either familiar comfort (patatas bravas and octopus) or a completely new flavor experience (salmon salad). The sangria was light and refreshing. 3. The service - Our server was bilingual and provided satisfactory service. She was warm. The service was well-paced, and she attended to all of our needs as a group. 4. The ambience - As I previously mentioned, both Plaça d'Osca and La Mestressa were a whole vibe. If the terms "off the beaten path," "honeycomb hideout," "in the cut," or "rural retreat" mean anything to you, this area similarly provides a nice place to "retreat" and immerse yourself in a local neighborhood right in the heart of Spain's second largest city. It's the perfect place to drink wine and sangria and while away your evening. :)

With that being said, most of the food we had was at least very good. Given that the quality of food was so high, I believe it to be even more significant that this was our favorite restaurant of the trip! They are a small local restaurant, with chalkboard menus, and a little ways off the beaten path (not too far to discourage visiting!) The tapas and beer we had here was out of this world. Here are my recommendations, but take them with a grain of salt (literally, when it comes to pan con tomate), because they are seasonal, and the menu changes: 1) Get the pan con tomate. They show you how to make it, so it is ever so fresh! 2) Taste some of the local wines and craft beers 3) Listen to the waitresses recommendations... no matter the current menu 4) Try the pulpo! (Octopus) 5) Calamari 6) The seasonal (Fall) mushrooms were great 7) Patatas bravas were good, but not my favorite of the trip 8) Back to beer... Try the Black Coupage if you like dark beers, and they still have it. Delicious beer! Enjoy Barcelona, and eat some REAL local food, or at least the best food we tried there after eating about 30 meals at different restaurants....
