    Fried Brie and eggplant with goats cheese (the eggplants were delicious!)
    Ruhia J.

    This was a random walkby restaurant choice on our first day in Barcelona. They advertised a fixed price tapas menu for €15. Included came 8 tapas items and a glass of yummy sangria. Included came: patatas bravas (fried potatoes with dipping sauce), fried calamari, chicken strips, fish croquettes (they were black from squid ink and wonderful!), eggplant with goats cheese, breaded and fried brie with jam and nuts, we also had the bread with tomatoes (a typical Catalan starter) but this was just average. The bread felt a bit stale and flavourless. Overall everything was quite yummy and a great start to the vacation! And reasonably priced. The service was also great. Very friendly. Definitely worth a try.

    This place was less than five min from our hotel, and I'm so glad we decided to give it a try. Friendly, warm service; tasty and reasonably-priced tapas; great location. I highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for somewhere to treat you well and feed you well, too.

    Fantastic food at very reasonable prices. Bar is downstairs and there a nice room upstairs for meals.

    Great alcohol, food and atmosphere . We ordered the potato bravas and guacamole. Both were very fresh and tasty. Also very affordable and good sangria :)

    Loved the staff here! Wish we were locals

    Favorite place we ate in Barcelona! Great location, right near La Boqueria. Food was well priced and so delicious. Best Sangria in Barcelona and cheap! The service is fabulous. We were told that the two owners were 2/3 people working, and they all always greeted us warmly. I told our waiter my sister was visiting soon and he said to come to them for help or questions if she needed...above and beyond service Thank you guys for making the trip!
