Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

Our cool appetizers consisted of a frisée with hummus, a puff pastry with a dollop of goat cheese, and a salmon gelatin cube with strawberries (sounds strange but was well executed and tasty). Our warm appetizers consisted of a potato croquette, chestnut broth, and octopus with a bean puree (another one that's better than it sounds). For entrées, we had a monkfish, prawn, and calamari in romesco sauce, and a confit of duck with celery purée and shoe string fries. The fish was moist and flavorful, the duck was tender and juicy. Our desserts were a crema catalan and a tortada de santa maria. The crema was was a well done custard that was lightly sweet. The tortada was similar to a tres leches cake except with one of the leches being a sour cream, so also not overly sweet, but really enjoyable. Situated in a former stable with a arched stone ceiling, the acoustics of the room dampen sound--ensuring a comfortable ambiance even with a room full of families conversing and eating. All-in-all, we really enjoyed the meal. In addition to being delicious, it was very filling. We would gladly return if ever at Monserrat again.

You pick the choice of main dish and dessert. Rest already set for the menu. Restaurant was nice and clean.. Very friendly staff. Price not too bad for all the dishes included. Tuna tar tar anchovies with some dipping sauce and many other small one biters.. Over all presentation was good.. Taste was not bad.. I ordered seafood paella, lamb shoulder. Never had paella and this was the first time.. So I don't know if it was really good.. I can say the rice was nicely cooked and soaked up all the seafood flavors. My only complaint was that it was too salty for my taste.. The lamb was not bad.. Over all the service was great food was alright.. For what you get the price was not bad. 79.00 euros after all said and done.. I probably would not come here again.. But if you happen to be up here and you are hungry and want to have nice semi fancy service.. Come try this place..

We ordered the patatas bravas, ham croquettes, seafood soup, paella de mariscos. I really like the ham croquettes, it was savory and melted right into your mouth. The patatas bravas was just some regular fries with sauce. I liked my seafood paella. It was just the right portion for me. The only thing is that maybe it was just me, but was a bit salty and soggy towards my last bites. Although I liked it, I was looking for flavor that stuck with me! Definitely recommend to try if you're in the area, they have many choices for a first timer!

I asked about something that was not on their menu, and they had the chef make it for us anyway--sliced tomatoes with olive oil and pulpos with garlic and olive oil instead of the tomato base sauce it normally comes with.

But the fact that we walked away happy, satisfied, and will have long-lasting memories at this place, then they succeeded! Restaurants are not strictly about the food. It's the entire experience.

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.
