    Eggs Benedict
    PT S.

    Deliciós. Simply delicious. We weren't thinking brunch, but here we are after so many other lower rated restaurants were full up. Variety of offerings for Sunday brunch aka something for everyone. Fast service. The chorizo hash was stellar sensation for the tongue. The Eggs Benedict sauces also very delectable. Outdoor patio on the street. But like many streets in Barcelona, the sun is not able to reach the ground through the surrounding buildings.

    Burger with Foie and caramelized onions!
    Lisa M.

    If I could give six stars I would! We've been in Spain for a few weeks and I've been craving a burger. Arrived in Barcelona late last night and this place is around the corner from my hotel. We chose to sit inside away from the smokers. The vibe was chill and all three servers were friendly and spoke English. The menu is full of options but I went for the burger. It was amazing! Super juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly! The grilled foie gras was a decadent topper and coupled with the caramelized onions and warmed bun, I was in burger heaven! I opted for no Parmesan shavings and would have loved to see a nice briny pickle on the side to balance the rich and savory sandwich. Service was attentive and music was at a great level. We are here for a week and I'm already looking at the menu for my next meals there! A must visit!

    Charcuterie
    Rise G.

    Had a great experience at Firebug; the service and food were great. We ordered the gyoza, charcuterie, and patatas bravas. The outside seating area is large, has a great vibe and is good for people watching. Everyone that worked there were happy and really seemed to enjoy what they do.

    Vanilla iced latte and Shakshuka
    Christine F.

    The food here was so delicious, and fueled me for the day. I had a vanilla iced coffee and a shakshuka with gluten free bread. Overall menu was a bit more "American-ish " then other places with hamburgers and pastrami sandwiches. But I was with people who ordered both and they said they both tasted amazing

    Smoked salmon,  chorizo, and pancakes (listed on the menu as "pennyfarthing."
    Mike B.

    The duck is delicious. It is a riff on Peking duck. The meat is tender and shredded (reminded me or barbacuá.) The blueberry sauce is a bit less overwhelming than the traditional plum sauce can be. The charcuterie is also excellent, with jamón ibérico, chorizo and other delicious takes on cured pig I should add that I came back for breakfast the next day. I had the "Pennyfarthing." One suspects the term originated with the British. But for my fellow Yankees, it is a pancake with all the fixins. Bananas, jam, berries, nuts and syrup.

    New York bagel
    Youri Y.

    My mom and I were perusing around after checking out Arc de Triumf and decided to eat here for brunch. They don't have a tapas menu during brunch so we went with the NY bagel and Asian chicken salad lol Surprisingly, the food here was really good. Ingredients tasted fresh and portions were huge. We shared a slice each of the New York bagel and split the Asian chicken salad. We washed it down with mimosas and they even gave us small sampler shots of the bloody mary which was eve more tasty! I wish I ordered the bloody mary but I also knew I did not want to break the seal later on lol The service was solid just as the wifi. Bathrooms are modern and clean located upstairs. For the Aemrican style brunch fare, this place was really good and a nice change actually from tapas lol

    Best vacation brunch yet! Brenda is the best server! We enjoyed the nicely shaded outdoor seating. Food and drinks were perfect! We may need to return for dinner service before we head home. Yum!

    The minute you walk in, and go down the stairs, you are reminded of the wonderful places that used to exist in the early 1990s in Los Angeles, California. Five star food all around. Fully stocked bar for those who are in need. Generous portions of food. Freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. No Almond Milk (just a heads up) and the yelp coupon upon first check-in isn't available any longer. Also the Spanish customary tip isn't automatically included on the bill, you'll have to add that yourself. It's a lovely place for breakfast or brunch.

    brunch!
    Karen L.

    Came in for brunch, they have really nice outdoor seating and you can enjoy some nice people watching. Their coffee is excellent, I ordered a mocha and the whipped cream that came on it was delicious! The pancakes I got were ok, not as fluffy and tasty as they are in the US. Eggs benedict was GREAT, highly recommend getting that if you're a fan of benedict. Pretty well-portioned meals, definitely worth a visit.

    Brioche Breakfast

    The food is so good we ate here 2 days in a row. I highly recommend this place. We will definitely come again.

    The decor is fun. The bar is made out of stacked suitcases.
    Ty R.

    This restaurant does not disappoint. Everything is good and the service is excellent for Barcelona standards, ha ha Their burgers are yummy and the brunch looks delicious based on what the adjoining table ordered. Check it out!

    Ummm! OMG, this Chorizo Hash with Eggs is tasting amazing! My spinach is wonderfully prepared, tasty and a robust flavor. I will get back but YES!

    We had planned to go to a tapas place recommended by our Gaudi House tour guide (Touring Pandas…read moreguide Jekaterina who was EXCELLENT) but the joint had a line of 20+...so we chose to go to my plan B! We were happy to enter the cozy La Alcoba Azul and seated by a smiling host immediately & presented with menus. The interior looks almost like a wine cellar with brick vaulted ceilings. The offerings are best described as fusion tapas but there are a few traditional bites as well. Our waiter presented us with an amuse bouché of pumpkin hummus topped with roasted pepitas on an herbed toasted baguette crisp. DELICIOUS! We confidently ordered the tomato tartare with avocado cream, basil, olive powder and rosemary olive oil caviar as well as a half order of cured Iberican meats featuring chorizo, loin, sausage and ham, an order of the hummus with black olives, parsley, pine nuts and pita triangles. All were terrific! We especially enjoyed the meats and tomato tartare. I enjoyed a red sangria that was satisfying and happened to be topped with cinnamon...a first and welcome addition for me. La Alcoba Azul is a spot we'll keep on our tapas go to list! You shouldn't hesitate to visit.

We grabbed the only table open when we arrived at 1 on a Monday afternoon. We saw a Cava Sangria (a first) and had to try-light and delicious! They also had Majou Beer (from Malaga) on draft which is hard to find outside of Malaga so had to have one. We ordered a couple of starters and a couple of what I'd say were bigger plates. The pork belly marinated in lime was tasty but the fresh Mackerel stole the show! The Truffled eggs with foie and mushrooms was finished table-side and was amazing. We missed that the Cuttlefish had squid ink-no matter, so light and exquisite-only complaint would be to have more cuttlefish. Service was engaged and friendly from start to finish. Tapeo reminds me of some of the regional restaurants where you want to try the entire menu at once cause it all looks so good. Tapeo is now on the list of "must stops" when in Barcelona!
