My friend talked about their sandwiches and how she enjoys having a salad and sandwich here. I followed her lead and tried the 4 Queso salad and the Dorado sandwich. The queso salad was great with the cubed cheese and mustard seeds sprinkled throughout. It wasn't as biting as I thought it might. The sandwich was great. I ordered it mainly because it had dates inside. This restaurant certainly has unique touches to their food. I like that about them and might find myself returning before I leave Barcelona.

The sandwiches and crepes they do here are mainly good because they're so cheap. But they are good…read more Arrive early to get a seat as it's always overflowing! This review was written in 2008.

This is a great classic Spanish restaurant. If you're tired of all the tapas and paella fast food…read moreplaces in Barcelona, this lovely small restaurant offers you a delicious menu of traditional Spanish food. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed. The decor is charming with displays of old-fashioned corkscrews, tile art and pottery of grape stamping, making wine and olives. The menu is a little heavy on meat but there are also delicious seafood and fish offerings. I had a covered dish of shrimp baked in garlic and lemon, olive oil and wine. My wife had a sizeable serving of mussels in a delicious garlic lemon sauce. For starters we had fried artichoke chips which were absolutely delicious. For dessert we had chocolate gelato which was delicious, but nothing special and a lemon Yoghurt/kefir that had the consistency of ice cream, and that was sublime. All in all, a reasonably priced, but priceless dining experience.

In a Barri (neighborhood) of patas (potatoes), croquette & olive tapas, here's a restaurant with…read morepanache. Menu. Chef. Service & Wait(ress) who know their menu. Modestly priced dishes. The lasagna is a revelation... unlike ANY lasagna you have had. I had a quarter grilled rabbit (€ 6,15) that was perfectly cooked. A gazpacho that, well was the best salad I ever drank. Well done & well worth the money in this maze of unspectacular hole in the wall Catalan & Castellano tapa bars. We've been to Gràcia twice in two years and I can honestly say that I regret not finding la Llar de Foc. The Good news is we have 5 more days to eat there and that you should go to enjoy this eatery.

this was one of our best finds in Barcelona...we I found it using the downloaded Lonely PLanet…read moreBarcelona app. It's awesome because it finds where I am with GPS, and tells me what restaurants are good with descriptions. Sometimes, they're misses because once it's on Lonely Planet, it gets overrun. But this place wasn't. We went there I think on our way to Parque Guell (another Gaudi work of art) and it was cheap (for Americans given the exchange) and delish. The pitcher of sangria came in a customized clay pitcher bearing the establishment's name. AND they had a yummy flan for dessert mmmmmm. It was also situated on a narrow street off the main road (alley-like) in a local neighborhood, meaning we were the only asians and only ones with cameras. Easy to miss the entrance to this place. The waiter didn't even speak English but a smile, some pointing, and my high school Spanish came in handy!
