This restaurant is well-reviewed and the owner has published two…read morecookbooks, so our group of 4 were all shocked to be served what could most accurately be described as hospital food. The starter salad was not fresh and not seasoned. The vegetable of the day was overcooked boiled potatoes and green beans with no seasoning. The soup of the day was as thick as glue, and again, under-seasoned. The fresh hake was deep fried and overcooked. The "steak" was a cheap cut, maybe 3mm thin, and looked like something that would be served at a prison. We sat at the restaurant looking at online photos from positive reviews, wondering if we had shown up on the chef's day off. We do not speak Catalan, but when our waitress came to clear our plates, and saw that we hadn't eaten some items, she made it clear that she understood why. We had a dozen items. The pork cheek was decent. The ice cream was fine. The crema was fine. Nothing else. This was easily the worst meal we had in a MONTH in Catalonia.

We were told that the sons of the owners of this restaurant own the 3 Michelin star restaurant just down the street. It's no wonder their kids have cooking chops because the food at Can Roca is as good as home made gourmet food gets. For two people with drinks, our 3 course meal (not counting a poached egg complementary starter) came out to less than 30 euros! We came at the end of the lunch crowd, around 4pm, when they were closing their lunch hours and reopening later for dinner. Despite the odd hour, the restaurant was completely packed but we didn't have to wait long to get a table. The whole place was locals only. Their menu is small and we were told they were already out of quite a few items. We basically told our server to give us whatever they had still available and whatever else she recommended. I can't tell you the names of the dishes but everything was just spectacular. We had these potato croquettes that were so divine, a bit salty from the meat mixed in, but super creamy. Even the potato and peas dish turned out to be really good- simple but satisfying. For the main dishes, we got the ribs with roasted chestnuts, and a stewed beef with mushrooms. The meats were so tender. And then for dessert we got some type of chocolate mousse with cookie crumbles and a coconut cream mousse with pineapple bits. This is the stuff you can expect to get at a fancy restaurant, definitely not at a mom and pop shop. Needless to say, we left very full and will definitely be back next time we are here.

We got calamari, chorizo, shrimp, ham and cheese croquettes and this potato pancake type thing. The calamari was the star of the meal. Bready very crispy and seasoned well. It was very fresh! The shrimp were big and garlicky. Chorizo was smokey and full of flavor. Everything else was excellent too and the prices were pretty good for the amount of food you get! This price was one of the highlights of our Spain trip

Wow did we have an amazing burger here. We decided to try two different burgers on the menu. One…read morewith Wagyu and the other with local beef. Surprisingly the local beef won hands down in my book. We started off with Tomato Bread and Jamon Iberico. Just keep ordering both these things where ever you go in Spain and you will be happy. I couldn't get enough of either, and for sure you can't get tomato bread in the states. Crusty bread with olive oil bringing it back to life and tomato and garlic rubbed all over it, The Wagyu burger had a nice slab of melted Brie, caramelized onions, and fig balsamic. A tried and true flavor profile. The beef was sure juicy, and we would have been happy with this burger if we hadn't tried the local beef The Local Girona Beef Burger topped with havarti, lettuce, tomato, and egg cream (basically a rich mayonnaise). This was a dry aged burger, although not advertised as such. And very dry aged. Spain uses mature cows that can be as old as 14 years old. As such they have a much more robust flavor than American beef which is usually only 1-2 years old. The tomato reminded me, how delicious a tomato can and should be. Don't miss this burger here. BBQ Pork Flat Bread with pickled onions oregano , and melted provolone. Pretty tasty, but perhaps the least memorable of everything we ate. We did enjoy it though. Just goes to show how good everything else was. Brots de Vi is a cute spot to grab lunch, and they made us feel right at home fixing up a table where normally they wouldn't have had one, so we didn't wait too long. And for sure the servers had to walk around where we were seated, kind of half blocking the doorway. But they insisted that if we didn't mind, they didn't mind. Very friendly service and excellent food here.

I was relieved to see the chalkboard outside that said "Meals All Day." The thought of coming from the US and getting a burger here seemed so silly to me, but when we walked in, the sight and smell was too convincing. The fresh Girona beef was loosely ground and flavorful, so, no regrets! There was a little bit of an issue with flies trapped inside, we probably should have sat outside. Wine prices were good!

Wrong again they first brought out an excellent salad with a a grilled goat cheese and tomato toast with jamón ibérico. Then these incredible fresh mussels. Then chicken croquets and 2 incredible stuffed píquillo peppers in a wonderful sauce. The main dish was a very well done fresh dorado and then desert. Also included wine or water. All this for 28 . We also ordered Ham croquettes. These were increíble Great food at a really good price with great service. We had some great meals in tossa. None better than this one

Those kinds of places are full of drinking kids on vacation. Luckily there was a Google review about La Lonja that sounded promising. And it was just a couple blocks away from the beach. We ordered a plate with mussels, clams, shrimp and rice. It was like Paella but better. The stock was out of this world. My friends and I spent the whole meal trying to figure out just what was in that stock. It was the best meal of the entire trip. The staff was very friendly but mentioned they would tell us the recipe, but would have to kill us afterward. LOL So glad I spotted the review from Kaitlyn B!

Came by this place since it was close to where I was at that time.. There seems to be so many good seafood restaurants in this town. I've been to different restaurant in Barcelona with similar style. But this place preps the dish different style and full service.. The restaurant was very clean, stylish and friendly staff. You pick the seafood, they weight it front of you and cost to cook the style you want. I ordered 2 fresh oysters. Lady helping us said it was her favorite kind/imported from France. $5 a pop so ordered 2 only . Ordered sea urchin, baby clams cooked with garlic and parsley. Also ordered the lagosta arrossos caldosos style.. I was told it was like paella but more soup style.. Only thing I was not happy with was that they had to split it and make it into 2 order which ended up costing 80 euro. But I was in a splurging mood so I decided to go for it. Also ordered fried calamari. So for starter bread.. Seems all the bread main in Spain is yummy. Ordered beer and water... First came oysters and sea urchin.. Oyster was definitely good.. Nice plump size and fresh. Sea urchin was different than one I'm used to. Smaller size but more sweet and less irony. Fried calamari was also yummy. Nice tender and the breading was just right. Baby clam also fresh clean and full of flavor. Now the main dish.. It came in a bit bowl and it reminded me of gumbo. I was bit disappointed to see that it basically had double amount of all dente rice. So one lagosta split in half double amount of rice for 80 euros. This could have been made one serving for 40 euro but that was not an option. But over all it was good. First time having lagosta (weird looking lobster). I think I would have preferred prepared it grilled. Now to dessert.. Order tiramisu and xuixo de girona (was told Girona dessert). Tiramisu in a little cup.. Omg.. I have to say this was one of the best tiramisu I've ever eaten.. Soooo melt in your mouth, I'm in heaven dessert. The other one looked like fried egg roll sprinkled with sugar. Inside was cream I'm told. That was also yummy.. Nice crispy outside and inside was warm, sweet, and bread pudding texture.. That was also yummy. Over all it was good experience and food was yummy.. I would definitely come back here again.

Ambiance is lovely outside, no traffic noise and amidst the various cafes and gelato shops. Just going to highlight a few of the tapas we shared. The pulpo a la gallega (octopus) was very tender and had just the right amount of paprika (13,15€). At 6,40€, the bunyols de bacallá looked a bit odd due to the addition of squid ink in the batter. Like croquettes, they have the subtle taste of fish because of codfish eggs. My mother in law refused to eat them because she said they looked like "emu poos." I thought they looked like charcoal briquets (see photo). Higos or grilled figs had the addition of foie Gras which offset the sweetness of the figs 5,10€. Everything went down nicely with a bottle of Rueda Verdejo at 10,70€. A very memorable evening indeed!
