    Pizza
    Beth D.

    Amazing Italian food in the heart of Spain! What a surprise to get to eat and incredible pizza while in Barcelona! Perfect place for lunch right after a tour of the Cathedral. Great place to stop with our teenage kids. Food was e as was the sangria!

    The eatery my best friend and I wanted to go to closed earlier than advertised, therefore, we came here by chance. It's a fusion place. They spoke little English, however, made by with the few words that I knew and some pre-written cards in Spanish explaining my allergies. They were accommodating to my health concerns and made some awesome recommendations. Waiter was really nice. We had the cold veggie soup which had a unique taste on the vinegar side. We had a veggie rich platter. It was a little too rich on the oil. I felt as though I ate a plate of oil and no actual food. The meal kept me temporarily satisfied. I am not used to eating that much oil in my food. Layout is cute and homely in a traditional sense. In the washroom the lights go out every minute automatically, therefore, turning the light on 3 times was a pain in the a$$. The eatery has a wall full of celebs that have come here to eat, none of which I knew.

    Paella (seafood)

    Great location - just steps away from Sagrada Família - try paella- it has the best paella I've had!

    6 tapas and a pitcher of Sangria or beer deal! So much food!

    Food was ok, but they gave us this hard bread without asking, and charged 4 euros for it.

    OUTSTANDING Just across from Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia, this is a great "pit stop." My wife & I stopped in for coffees with milk and Almejas Marineras (clams in sauce).

Even if without time to sit down and eat, do buy some cheese to go! We did that and then returned for a proper dinner. The atmosphere was so cozy and makes me feel like it's Christmas there everyday! The service is so kind and accommodating. We shared three incredible salads (one with bufalo mozzarella, one with mushrooms, and the third with orange and chili, as well as shared a large cheese plate of cheeses from Northern Spain. Wow! Everything was absolutely divine! All of the salads were incredible (and it was my first and last bite of jamon iberico while in Barcelona as I'm vegetarian and made an exception of a bite here in order to experience the culinary history of Barcelona... and I am so glad I did this here as my cousin who lives near the restaurant confirmed it is among the best Iberico he had ever eaten). The Rose was incredible and they offer an extensive wine list. The cheeses were unforgettable dekicious. It was such a delicious, beautiful and memorable dinner with such lovely company and our last dinner together in Barcelona this trip. Thank you so much! We hope one day soon to return to Barcelona from NYC!

    As primarily English speaking it has been a disappointing culinary adventure throughout Spain, but…read morenot here. Not only did our server amuse our broken Spanish but he also spoke English. The food was absolutely amazing. I had a Tebia salad. I honestly can't say I've been so excited over a salad. It had a wonderful aray of light toppings with a hot host cheese on toast. It was delightful and rich with the semisweet salad. My spouse had the fondue and a toast with iberco ham. The tiramisu was not to sweet yet creamy and delicate. Great service, great meal, great start to our trip to Barcelona. Best meal yet in Spain

    What a gem! Yes, it's a bit touristy -- but in the fun, festive, "you're on vacation and loving…read morelife" kind of way. Taverna El Glop wraps you up in its warm, lively atmosphere the second you walk in. We were a group of four, and from start to finish, we had an awesome time. The open kitchen is a great touch -- you can watch the chef in action, which adds to the energy and makes the whole experience feel more connected and authentic. We shared a bunch of dishes, and everything was on point. The paella was rich and delicious -- exactly what we came for. The patatas bravas were crispy, creamy, and gone in seconds, and the shishito peppers were the perfect salty, snacky starter. Of course, we had to get a pitcher of sangria (okay, maybe two), which was fruity, refreshing, and just strong enough to keep things festive. The space itself has this great, rustic charm -- complete with checkered tablecloths and even an old cigarette machine near the bar (haven't seen one of those since I was a kid -- aren't those banned in the U.S. now?). I don't smoke -- smoking sucks -- but it added a bit of unexpected nostalgia and character. Service was excellent. I always make a point to be friendly, ask people their names, and introduce myself -- and that's usually met with warmth. It definitely was here. The staff were quick, kind, and seemed to enjoy the place as much as we did. Personally, I loved it. It's the kind of place you remember -- not because it's fancy or trendy, but because it's fun, flavorful, and full of heart. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    The best paella we had in Barcelona!! Highly recommended…read morethat you try this place. Their paella has a lot of seafood, the taste is flavorful, and the portion is generous. The service is also great. The manager (Aptiom) even allowed us to dine in even without reservation. When we saw the wait list...it is long! MUST TRY THIS AWESOME PLACE! For food quality, service, and ambience i will rate this experience with 4.8.
