    We were hungry and sat outside the first time and inside the second. They food here is fresh & delicious. Compliments to the chef , really great. We came back it was so good.

    Part of pica-tapa Menu 17.20€
    Marc M.

    A long line almost out the door awaited us. The bigger problem is that they didn't seem to have any system in place to figure out the places in the queue. We nearly gave up as the staff refused any eye contact. Finally though they seated us after about 20 minutes or so when a big group left and vacated multiple tables at once. We wasted no time in indicating that we wanted the Pica Tapa menu for 17.20€. This came with 9 different tapas. They were not amazing to be perfectly honest. The two most laughable were tomato paste on toasted baguette and the fried spicy green peppers. The combination of long queue to be seated, slow service, mediocre food, and expensive tapas(34.40€ for two people) relative to the quality, leads me to not be particularly fond of this highly rated restaurant.

    Gayle and I stopped in on the power (and directions) of a Rick Steves' Tour Book Restaurant Elisabets is a happy little neighbourhood eatery and well worth the effort to get past the La Rambla scene (including a barker or 2 beckoning us to come hither to their restaurant). I also enjoyed the collection of old radios and the comfortable local vibe that was spread out among a front bar and at least 2 different dining rooms. We had the 3-Course (including dessert) Menu del Dia, but had to guess a bit as very little English is spoken or written here. Cash Only too. As we poured over the Spanish menu, Gayle encouraged me to be "adventurist". I pointed and ended up with a large and tasty bowl of Lentil soup and some killer baked ribs. "Cosmopolitan" Gayle chose and eggs/sausage dish for the first course and the equivalent of chicken strips and fries for the main dish. A nice house wine and dessert rounded out a very filling and satisfying Lunch.

    This was our very first stop in Barcelona and what a hearty lunch meal it was. It's tucked in a beautiful little alleyway and isn't too spacious inside. I highly recommend coming here for the menu del dia, which is essentially a lunch special that includes an appetizer (primero), entree (segundo), postre (dessert), and bebido (drink). Oh, and let's not forget the complimentary basket of bread with olive oil. They did not have an English menu, so my friends and I honestly chose dishes at random. The good thing is, you can't really go wrong. Here's what we ordered: -Salad, fish, chocolate mousse -Croquetas de jamon, beef cheek, chocolate mousse -Fideua, chicken, cake Our favorites were the salad, croquetas de jamon, beef cheek, and chicken. But wait...I ordered a wine to drink, thanking that I'd get just a glass of red. Lo and behold they brought over an entire bottle, which you can pour at your own desire. Beautiful. Total cost: 35.85 Euros

    This was one of our very first stops upon arriving in Barcelona. It was a bit chaotic as they were busy but when in Spain... (you know the rest). We simply took a place at the barra and ordered some tapas and beers. The tapas were authentic and the service could not have been better especially as we were communicating in Spanglish. The patatas bravas were so good, their little peppers (pimientos Padron) were excellent. This is a must stop on your visit to this great city.

    This one was just amazing!!! Rare find. Great homemade food and great service. Food is so natural and delicious! This is a place where locals go for lunch and dinner - not too many tourists. Again, place is SUPER!!! Highly recommended!

    This place was simple and delicious! Truly authentic Spanish tapas. The menus are not in English, but that's what google translate is for! Order the peppers and the fish!

    Tapas prix fixe menu, Friday night special
    Ryan C.

    The service was friendly, and my fiance and I absolutely loved the "Menu Pica-Tapa," their Friday-night prix fixe menu. It requires a minimum party of 2, costs 15.80 euros (at the time of this review), and the price includes literally an enormous bar feast with pitcher of sangria included. Our table was literally packed to the brim with plates of food. It's a sampler menu of 10 different, fairly common tapas dishes. The portions were huge and much more than a bite per person. I really enjoyed the meat skewers (brochetita de carne), the shrimp (gambas a la plancha), and the charcuterie plate (plato de embutidos). The sangria was also delicious. I think this place would be appropriate if you have a big appetite or are in a large party. I would definitely come back.

    This was a very nice place for breakfast. Great coffee. A great selection of pastries and a great feel to it. A local, affordable restaurant that makes great food, has friendly staff, and popular in the area. Would 100% come back here again, I loved it. I had the Croissant and a Chocolate Croissant. Their freshly squeezed Orange Juice was a very nice addition.

    Good food and lovely atmosphere. We ordered the black pudding and shrimps according to the highly recommended dishes in yelp. And they are amazing. We also looked around food on other tables. They also looked good. But it is a pity that we went there with half-full stomach so we couldn't have more. Beer was recommended by the waiter and was also pretty good. Thanks yelp, we could order by pointing at the pictures since we didn't speak Spanish. It helped a lot.

    Layers of deliciousness..spongecake,creme, glaze. The coffee is excellent in Barcelona
    Bleep S.

    Tea time in Barcelona is taken very seriously. Elisabets is the perfect place for this important indulgence. I sat next to a man who was eating the most delicious looking pastry and indicated to the server that I would like to have what he's having. She returned 3 minutes later to inform me that that particular pastry was 86ed for the day but not to worry, she would bring me something that she guaranteed I would enjoy...and was she ever right! (see pic)....very good coffee at Elisabets as well.

    I normally don't do reviews on yelp. But this restaurant deserves an AWESOME review. We had Bombas (meatball), calamari, poncho moruno (spicy meat skewer), boquerones with vinegar, and croquettes. We only stopped here to grab a pre dinner quick bite. Ordered the first three things, but since everything is so delicious we ordered more. There wasn't an English menu but we managed to order with the help from other yelpers. We also came relatively early since we have dinner later, they are only serving tapas, I think they have more formal dinner entrees later. Now I'm pretty full, have to walk it off before dinner! Haha! highly recommended! Must try if u are in the area.

This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now.

The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

The service was excellent, our server spoke English and knew so much about American pop culture. He even sang NSYNC songs to us while serving us dishes. As for the food let's get into it: - Lobster Croquettes (8/10) We've had a lot of croquettes this trip, but these were on another level, get one per person. - Paella (7.5/10) Different style of paella from other places we went. It was almost like a paella curry, which was still rich and delicious. - Squid Sandwich (10/10) This is hands down the best appetizer I've ever had. The squid was packed with flavor and the mayo sauce they used paired perfectly. Order one per person, and be prepared to order another to go. - Garlic Shrimp (8/10) Solid entree paired with sourdough bread. Dip that bread into the sauce and you'll be satisfied. - Aged Beef Steak w/ Foie Gras (9/10) This might be one of the best steak dishes I've had traveling abroad. It was cooked perfectly, and came with a potato crust on the bottom and Foie Gras on top. Definitely a must order. Overall a great experience, from the service and ambiance to the quality of the food, this is a must try when visiting Barcelona. Would I go again? Absolutely!

Cañete was booked out for 2 weeks straight, so we decided to risk it and see if we could get a spot as walk-ins; and were lucky enough to want less than 5 minutes before being sat at the "bar" in front of the open kitchen, which is honestly the best seat in the house IMHO. You get to see all the 'action' and interact with the friendly and often funny staff. Everything in the menu we tried was fantastic, but a few standouts for me were the squid sandwich (do yourself a favor and try it, even if you aren't a "squid person" the bread is fresh, and the butter garlic sauce they use should be sold in bottles at the supermarket), the lobster croquet was refreshing, and the aged beef steak with foie and truffle sauce was delicious and cooked to perfection.
