    Rude wait staff. The tourist island that I live we always try to share Aloha with all non locals that are visiting us. Aloha can mean, when greeting another person with aloha, there is mutual regard and friendliness. We did not receive this from this restaurants server. We seated ourself at the tables outside and a waiter came out, we were looking at menus, we attended to order drinks and dessert. My husband said we would like to order drinks and dessert, and he snapped "if you aren't going to eat food, you can't sit here" We were taken back by his rudeness and left. As a volunteer that speaks with tourist from around the world, I would never be rude to a guest visiting my home. If you love where you live, one should proudly represent it. Barcelona is a beautiful city, that anyone would be proud to live in or find a different occupation.

    Tapas! Tried almost all the different tapas. Favorite was the burnt cheese one. And the black rice one at the end. The sausage one was good too. Also tried their sangrias and local beer. And crème brûlée.

    Most beautiful array of tapas ever. I could not resist to take more photos than eat during this last trip to Barcelona. Simply fantastic, the bar is so beautiful and in a corner. Loved everything. Note that if you are not into eating lots of bread you might find some of the tapas there a bit repetitive.

    So this is where we learned that there is an "inside" price and and an "outside" price to eat in most Barcelona restaurants. Here it is clearly posted on their window that 4 Tapas, a drink and a dessert for €12 euro or €13.5 outside. Still, go for outside in the fresh air with all the other patrons and we got to see a show in the courtyard in front of the church. This place makes it easy because everything is out there for those of us who don't know what to order or are not experienced in buying tapas. You go in yourself and pick the items and you tell your waiter/waitress. My wife and I shared one order and I ordered an extra beer. You don't pick the dessert but we got a small portion of Creme Brulee.

    Execellent deal for Tapas! €13 for four courses, dessert, and Sangria. Have designated vegetarian tapas section which was super nice. Location is amazing as well!

    A great place to stop for lunch! They offer a wonderful deal posted on their windows, 4 pinxtos, 1 drink (beer and sangria included) and a lemon gelato for 10 euro! The pinxtos are plentiful and they offer a large variety to choose from. My favorite was the brûlée goat cheese with a thin slice of tomato on a sliced baguette. All the flavors worked so well! I'm not all that into the sweet and savory thing but ... this was amazing! They have a good mixture of fried foods, cheese, hams, and Spanish omelettes. The waiters were quick to offer any help and were quick to bring our drinks. The gelato was delicious too. I feel like I got major bang for my buck here! Check it out!

    Lovely place to stop for lunch. £12 lunch special includes 4 tapas (from the best options With the most variety We'd seen from a quick tapas place in the gothic quarter), dessert, and a glass of tasty sangria. Staff is very friendly and the restaurant itself is located in a lively area that is a bit less tourist trafficked given its location slightly off la ramblas.

    Tapas and beer included in the €10 meal deal.

    Best tapas I've ever had. Great prices, really you can't beat €10 for three tapas, a sangria or beer and dessert. It was all well made & fresh. The atmosphere was great as well. I can't wait to go back. (It's been too long).

    Iberico Ham / Hammantel Cheese / Spinach Crepe

    I like the location of this place as it is a great spot for people watching, and quiet enough just to read a book. I wasn't too crazy about the dish I ordered, here's why... Too much Spinach, too little Jamon, too little cheese, Crepe was slightly sweet. The drinks are also way overpriced. Essentially the only elements to this order that come to my liking was that i came out quickly.

    4 choices of tapas, a choice of drink, and a dessert (not pictured) for 10 euros! Great deal.

    The smoked salmon tapas are so good. I'm a lover of cheese so it's not hard for me to find a favorite here. I gravitated towards this small spot for its 10 euro deal. 4 choices of tapas, a drink (had to get wine to pair, which also was generously filled), and a dessert. So worth it so I had to come here twice during my three day trip to Barcelona. This place made me very happy.

    Offering one of the best deals in Barcelona, it's a must stop assuming they're still having that special. My girlfriend and I were in Spain in August 2015, and after bouncing from tapas place to tapas place we found ourselves at El Drac de Sant Jordi beckoning us from afar with a counter full of tapas. We came for the Tapas but stayed for the special they were running that night - for 10 euros, you get your choice of four individual tapas, sangria, and a "dessert" mixed drink (we had a lemon sorbet). The Tapas were very good and the alcohol was strong and on point. It was by far the best deal in Barcelona, and if they have the same thing or something similar, definitely take advantage.

    Fine tapas and a food/drink that's hard to beat. Went twice and enjoyed our meals both times. Good service, as well.

After a dozen attempts to dial in the pour the staff was honest and upfront about the selection that it couldn't be made to their standards. Wow, love this! Instead of giving me my drink and rushing me out the door, it was all about the quality. Being new to espresso making at home I fully understand the 1:2 ratio in a specific amount of time for making espresso. I took their advice and went with another bean selection. My iced cafe latte was for take away and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. One thing to note for any Americans that expect sweetener, there is none here. I wasn't bothered by this but I could see many others might be. Looking back I wish I had bought some beans to bring back home to Cali.

    Great coffee! Definitely a smaller place but they had a few bar seating along with two benches with…read moresmall side tables to put your drink. Service was fast - order at the middle kiosk and wait for your drink. They have a few iced drinks available, and you can choose which 3-4 beans to make the drink with. We got the iced latte along with the shakerato. The shakerato had no milk, so you can definitely taste the beans/coffee flavor. As for the iced latte, it was definitely less better and slightly more sweet and creamy due to the milk. You still tasted a bit of the flavor of the coffee.

Caravelle is quaint and modern, and the service is definitely on the more lax side. Note: smaller parties may be seated at the communal table, and this place stays busy! Be prepared for a bit of a wait. I started with a café con leche, and although I'm not usually a sweets-for-breakfast kinda person, the croffle looked too enticing online to pass up. Being a huge egg aficionado, I also ordered a side of eggs à la carte. My coffee arrived quickly, but after waiting 30 minutes, I noticed that guests who had arrived after me were already enjoying their meals... When I checked in with the waiter, it turned out my order hadn't gone through at all. I had to reorder, and while waiting, I asked for another café con leche since I was long overdue for a refill. Unfortunately, that second coffee never came--but on the bright side, my meal eventually did. The croffle was freaking divine. Crispy/flakey on the outside, and soft inside. The cream was sweet, but not overpowering, and the tart of the berries balanced out the meal. As I was getting ready to check out, the waiter asked if I had ever received my second café con leche. Embarrassed for them, I admitted that I hadn't... Realizing they'd made ANOTHER mistake, he apologized profusely and quickly asked the barista to make me one to go. To compensate for my time and patience, he generously comped my entire meal, leaving me to pay only for the initial coffee (2.50 euros). Despite the service hiccups, the food was incredible--truly one of my favorite breakfasts in Spain.
