We came to Encercle as a recommendation from our hotel concierge for a solid tapas place. We came…read morein around 8pm and found the place quiet and inviting. Ordered quite a few tapas dishes; everything was unique and delicious, but the fried artichokes were really good and not like anything I've had before! They make their sangria with red wine or cava; we chose the red wine option, and I can't stop thinking about how refreshing this was to drink. Though they offered paella, we came in strictly for the tapas, so we didn't order a paella dish. The waitstaff were very attentive, and at one point after a rowdy group came in, they apologized for the noise, which we didn't take offense to at all. I'd recommend Encercle for anybody looking for a good tapas restaurant in the Eixample area!

The crisp shoots on the squid and foie gras on the beef were particularly memorable touches. In response to our obvious confusion about wine, our server gave us tastes of three excellent possibilities. My only regret is not having room for dessert. The decor is stylish and the mood romantic. Especially considering the reasonableness of their prices, Ferrum is not to be missed.

My Greek salad was very authentic and was as good as any salad I had while I lived in Greece. Very fresh vegetables, great Feta and seasoned to perfection. The shrimp scampi under the Tapas menu with garlic was equally good and oh so tasty. The smallish inside restaurant is best described as rustic and a tad warm. Instead I opted for the outside dining area, which has just a few tables but offered a very pleasant ambiance in the small side street this business is located on with low foot traffic and a very nice breeze on the warm day I dined here. The relaxed dining on the outside is definitely the way to go here especially during the summer months. From a negative standpoint, certain aspects of the service were too slow. I was seated pretty quickly upon arrival but I waited a tad bit too long to get my order in. Once ordered though, the food came pretty quickly on a positive note. However, for all intents and purposes the service stopped at that point where I had no follow up and literally had to walk inside the business to get my bill. Overall, the dining experience was still great for me slow service aside as the quality of the food and outdoor ambiance far outweighed the negatives. I would say if you are in a bit of there rush you may want to look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a relaxing dining experience with great food than this business will be definitely fit the bill!

The first is an excellent place to try some cocktails and tapas in an upscale environment, the other is fit for very important dinners (the prix-fixe options with wine pairing would be a natural choice) . For the entertainment provided for both the eyes and palate the pricing is better than adequate: budget $15-20 for that cocktail and $120 per person for the tasting "Robusto" set with wine. Highly recommended, one of the highlights of our visit to Barcelona. Reservations for the restaurant (not the bar!) are essential. If you do not have one, come at the opening time (something like 2PM, the bar opens earlier at 11AM).

The Cecina had a mustard based hollandaise with corned beef which had a very good smoky flavor to it. Overall it was a nice atmosphere, great service d and great food. I would definitely recommend.
