    Menu with 3 empanadas and a small mixed salad. This beer is a garra so only half of it is included in the menu rate 9,5€. Super good.

    Had the empanada menu with tuna, beef and a "yellow". I liked the more traditional empanadas more. The price is really good for the value. Cons: not wheelchair accessible.

    Best empanada you'll have in Spain. And even better service. This is a tiny restaurant. Great prices. But once you've had the spicy beef you'll wish you lived here. I did.

    We stumbled upon this hole in the wall a few years ago while on vacation in Barcelona only to discover a menu with an amazing assortment of empanadas with a creative combinations of flavors and ingredients. We ended up trying almost every one on the menu and they were all amazing. Every time I've been back I've visited El Laurel and the food and service is always spot on. With so many hole in the wall spots it can be hard to find a diamond in the rough but this is truly one of them. Great place for lunch, a late night snack or a low key dinner.

    This was our first night in Spain at the beginning of a 2 week trip -- and might have been the best…read moremeal we had. We made a reservation a month in advance as this place is popular. Gorgeous Cave-Like setting right in the heart of The Gothic Quarter. For food we got: - both Peach and Red Sangria's - maybe the best in Spain. 15 Euros so not cheap - Pan Con Tomate - first time having this dish -- great, - Iberian "Pluma" Acorn Fed Pork - so tender and amazing! - Cod (Bacalao) - perfectly baked I must give a shout out to our amazing waiter LUCAS who spoke excellent english and gave some perfect recommendations. We got here at 7:30 and it was quiet -- but quickly filled up and was totally full by 8:30. It's more expensive than most restaurants but for that you get quality service, superb food, linen napkins, and soft jazz music. We wanted to come again the next night but it was totally booked! Trip Advisor rates this as #57 (as of May 2026) but I think it should be in the top 10. Book a table early guys -- this restaurant will not disappoint you!

A far cry from the Sangria served in tourist spots, this is the real deal. BF loved the Island Sangria. Highly recommend Pluma Iberica for pork eaters. Served with a delicious peanut sauce. Lucas took excellent care of us. First class waiter. The restaurant is in what appears to be a cave. Delightful atmosphere. Very classy with linen napkins, etc. A little more expensive than some other local restaurants but worth it. Outstanding value. Be sure to reserve a table in advance.

    Chalito ended up being such a good find. My friend and I stumbled across it after watching a…read moreflamenco show near La Rambla, and I'm glad we did. Chalito is a chain restaurant in Spain that specializes in Argentinian milanesas, which are thin breaded meat cutlets topped with all kinds of good stuff, and I knew I had to try one. I ordered the Milanesa Mallorquina with sobrasada, Mahón cheese, honey, and a mozzarella base, and it was absolutely delicious. The mix of savory and sweet worked so well together. I also tried a slice of my friend's serrano pizza, and that was really good too. Another thing I liked was that they offer their own special aiolis to choose from. As somebody who loves extra sauce on the side, that was a huge plus for me. The food impressed me so much that I ended up going back to a different Chalito location in Madrid just to try the sausage and chili oil pizza, and it was just as bomb. Their portions are so huge I didn't have room for dessert on either of my visits, but their cheesecake looks amazing, I'll have to grab a slice on a future visit The service was excellent, and I appreciated that they had menus in both Spanish and English. The restaurant is also very spacious, which made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. You do not really have to stress about getting a table or making reservations, which is always nice when you are traveling. Overall, Chalito is a great spot if you want a satisfying meal in Spain without all the hassle of planning ahead. I would definitely recommend it whether you are visiting or already local.

    Great alternative to carb heavy pizza. Friendly service…read more Thin crispy chicken cutlet topped like a pizza. Very good. Will try other flavors soon.
