You really need to do your research when looking for something that is local and authentic and just all around good quality food that isn't actually a tourist trap. Bicnic met all of my expectations though! After heavy research, I kept coming across this place and decided to try it. Their concept is that you can either have a fast or slow more relaxing dining experience that takes local foods and modernize it. I will say that even though we made a reservation it was quite empty when we arrived but I believe that was because we came to dinner on a Monday night and it is usually rare for places to be open on Monday's anyway so I wasn't really expecting a big crowd. We opted for the side that was for a more casual/slower dining experience. The server helped us narrow down a bottle of wine and guided us through the menu that varied from multiple tapas to main course meals. We ended up ordering a few tapas and each our own main course. We of course had to order Pan con tomato which is very traditional to Catalonia. It is bread with tomatoes and olive oil which sounds basic but it is actually amazing. From there we ordered the mussels that were in an incredible sauce and great to share. We also ordered something called fake ravioli which was essentially the ravioli but with an open bottom. It was in something called American sauce and it was amazing. We each had one and it was a perfect tapas to order. from there I ended up getting the truffled scallops and my boyfriend got the bone marrow tartar. They both had a beautiful presentation and tasted just as good as it looked. We also both ordered a dessert because we couldn't decide on one. Very happy to have stumbled upon this place and happy to know that the reviews I found online live up to all expectations and more!

Our waiters were kind and helped recommend some of those daily specials (these are not featured on the menu, nor are they written down in English elsewhere--however, they are written in Catalán on the wall facing the bar). We grabbed a few pinxus from the glass case at the front of the restaurant which they also kindly heated and ordered some warm dishes as well. Dishes were all well balanced and nicely done -- we highly recommend trying the duck magret (as our waiter recommended to us). As an aside, the ambiance was casual and allowed us to bring our four year old son. He had no trouble eating the croquettes, some "chicken fingers", and the duck magret. Great place to bring your kid if they are up for a little adventure--I don't suggest this place for parents of picky eaters as the palate profiles on most all of the dishes is a bit challenging.

The foie gras was absolutely unforgettable--rich, delicate, and simply to die for. The sangria was equally exceptional, fresh, balanced, and dangerously delicious. But what makes this place truly special is something that can't be captured on a menu. The atmosphere, the warmth, the way time seems to slow down... words simply can't do it justice. If you're visiting Barcelona, don't just come here for dinner. Come here to fall in love with the food, the city, the moment, or maybe even someone sitting across the table. An experience I'll never forget.

Well, the restaurant was cute and cozy with a great ambiance. With luck on our side, we found two seats at the bar and quickly ordered drinks. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria (because why not?). The sangria was delicious, refreshing, and made to order. It was definitely more authentic than what we're getting in America. We ordered the patatas bravas, tempura asparagus, the octopus, and the steak. It all came out as it became available. We couldn't decide what our favorite was, to be honest. We ordered an ice cream sandwich for dessert and quickly requested our bill. We didn't want to hold the staff up as we noticed they were cleaning the establishment and people were finishing up. Overall, what a great experience for our first meal in Barcelona! Cute and hidden gem.

To drink, I had the house Vermut (€4.5) which was tasty. This is a common drink in Barcelona. My wife just had some bottled water (€2.65). The first plate was a half order of Torrenzo (€6.00), which are fried pork belly chunks. Tasty, but fatty (as expected). The second plate was the best: Calamar en su tinta relleno de papada (€16.50). This is a large piece of squid, stuffed with pork, covered in thick black squid ink. Delicious! We highly recommend this. The last dish we tried was Arroz de delta a la llauna con gamba roja (€19.50). This is a tasty rice with three large prawns on top. The restaurant's decor had a slight industrial look, with exposed ceilings and air ducts. There were wooden tables and chairs.
