We wandered to a bar and tried their egg whites with crab meat - their version of a deviled egg. They had a delicate flavor as can be expected. Now, the flan was extraordinary - smooth and creamy served with whipped cream. Perfection! I've tried many flans from various travels and this one ticked all the boxes! We also tried orange chocolate icecream from the kiosk at the entrance and it was delicious! If time permits, we will return!

The pork was so juicy and everything paired perfectly. I only was able to get in without a reservation because it was early/not usual Spanish dinner hours and I'm so glad I did. I was right by the kitchen so I got to see them grilling and cooking the food. I'd definitely come back.

Get the seafood paella and the squid ink paella! They are what they are known for. I've tried other…read morepaellas before but this one is by far my favorite. Seafood paella 10/10: rice is cooked well and infused with a hearty seafood flavor. Comes with a lemon, which really balances out the seafood flavor well. Squid ink paella 8/10: delicious but a tad too salty for me. If you are sensitive to salt, I don't recommend it. Otherwise, it is very tasty! Grilled squid: 6/10 good but nothing mind blowing and felt overpriced compared to other places like Puertocillo. Ham croquettes: 7/10 tad too salty but tasty. Kind of overpriced. Service: the servers are nice and welcoming. Ambiance: comfy seating and can easily accommodate big parties. I went late at night so I didn't have to wait for my party of 7.

A friend recommended El Glop to me since they enjoyed it a lot, so I decided to check it out since it wasn't too far from where I was. I decided to come for lunch, and I arrived pretty soon after they opened so I was able to be seated right away. The interior is nice and homey, with quite a few tables inside. I decided to get the seafood paella since that's what my friend recommended. I have to say that this is probably one of the best paella I've had, the flavors were great and the texture was on-point. I finished one whole paella on my own, which I was surprised by since I thought that I would have leftovers at least. The seafood was also tasty, so overall I was very impressed. Would highly recommend checking this place out for paella, I greatly enjoyed mine!

On a recent visit to Barcelona, I visited Velódromo both for a solo dinner as well as breakfast the following day. I loved the food and found the Velódromo Pastrami sandwich, made in homage to Katz in NYC, both humorous in its weird interpretation of the original, and also completely delicious. They DO have an English menu available but do not expect all of the staff to understand you. Please be kind and have your google translate ready. It's worth it just so you can blend in, lay back, and enjoy this classic neighborhood gem.

I did love the concept of being able to grill your meat a little more if you prefer it that way. Unfortunately, I didn't have the best experience with the service. We were a table of 4 and wanted to share a few appetizers before getting our own main dishes. The server quickly shut us down and told us we were ordering too much food. We explained that we were very hungry, but he insisted we were asking for too much and actually refused to take our order. It turned into a bit of an uncomfortable argument because we simply wanted to order what we wanted to eat. Eventually, we had to reduce the number of plates we were ordering just so he would take our order. I ordered an appetizer, but when I tried to order my main dish, he again refused because he said it was too much food. At that point, I just decided to eat from my friend's plate instead. Then, after telling us we were ordering too much, one of my friends was still hungry and wanted to order the steak. Suddenly, the issue was that it was going to take too long to prepare. So first we were told we were ordering too much, and then when we wanted to add a steak later, we were told it would take too long. We eventually managed to order it, accompanied by a pretty obvious eye roll. And to top it all off, when we asked for dessert -- one each -- the server seemed genuinely shocked that four people wanted four desserts instead of sharing one. Honestly, the whole experience was just very weird and uncomfortable. I felt judged the entire time based on how much we wanted to order, and I've never had a server refuse to take my order because they thought I was ordering too much food. The food itself was good, but the service really took away from the experience. Between that and the strict 2-hour window, I'm not sure I'd go back or recommend it, which is a shame because the place itself is absolutely beautiful.
