    Cart for your food trays
    Gretchen T.

    Came here for dinner and was not disappointed. Its like a cafeteria with a big variety of choices. We got jamon pizza, fried potatoes, fried squid, seafood paella, and a few other things. It was pretty busy and we had to scope the dining area out for a table. Everything was good! The fried potatoes and squid were cooked to order and piping hot when I got them. There was a bit of a wait while they cooked the food, but worth it. It's on one of the higher floors of El Corte Ingles and the dining area has a nice view of the surrounding area. We got a lot of food and it was super cheap too! Would definitely go back.

    I don't believe anyone would expect a department store to have an extensive dining area, at least I didn't. I only heard about this place through my aunt who previously visited Barcelona. It's located on the 9th floor of El Corte Ingles. The best way I can describe this place is a fancy cafeteria. You grab a cart and stack it with trays then make your way around each stalls and order your food. There's a wide variety from salads to tapas to Asian to Italian. After gathering your orders, you pay at the end. I was shocked at how affordable it was. For 3 people, we ended up paying 32 euros. That included 2 entrees, 2 tapas, dessert, and drinks (see picture)! All of the dishes were delicious except for the roasted chicken and vegetables. The chicken was way too salty and the vegetables must have been steamed for too long that they were soggy. Regardless, this place is worth a visit. As an added bonus, there's a beautiful view of Barcelona from the windows!

    This food market is at the top floor of El Corte Inglés. The view of Barcelona from this vantage point is phenomenal. I had a apple pastry to share with my friend, and of course Café con leche while taking in the beautiful morning rush on the streets below. Get a seat close to the window if you can and spend some time enjoying the view.

    The cafeteria on the top floor of El Corte Ingles on Placa Catalunya commands an incredible view over Barcelona, and it's a surprisingly good place to go for a cheap meal in a clean setting. I came for lunch in the middle of shopping and loaded up at the salad bar with a variety of their prepared salads. The roasted pumpkin salad as well as the smoked salmon were my favorites, but they also had a nice raw cod with tomato salad, potato salad, shrimp salad, and a green bean salad. It's a great deal, as you can fill up your bowl for just 6,5 Euros, but it did look like the salad had been sitting around for a while, so don't expect the most freshly-prepared servings unless you come early.

    A little confusing and cumbersome to order, but amazing food... especially the crispy cheese bread.

    As soon as you walk in the vibes are chill and they greeted me. I asked about the beans and…read moreflavors. Decided to go with a specific bean. After a dozen attempts to dial in the pour the staff was honest and upfront about the selection that it couldn't be made to their standards. Wow, love this! Instead of giving me my drink and rushing me out the door, it was all about the quality. Being new to espresso making at home I fully understand the 1:2 ratio in a specific amount of time for making espresso. I took their advice and went with another bean selection. My iced cafe latte was for take away and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors. One thing to note for any Americans that expect sweetener, there is none here. I wasn't bothered by this but I could see many others might be. Looking back I wish I had bought some beans to bring back home to Cali.

    Great coffee! Definitely a smaller place but they had a few bar seating along with two benches with…read moresmall side tables to put your drink. Service was fast - order at the middle kiosk and wait for your drink. They have a few iced drinks available, and you can choose which 3-4 beans to make the drink with. We got the iced latte along with the shakerato. The shakerato had no milk, so you can definitely taste the beans/coffee flavor. As for the iced latte, it was definitely less better and slightly more sweet and creamy due to the milk. You still tasted a bit of the flavor of the coffee.

Caravelle is quaint and modern, and the service is definitely on the more lax side. Note: smaller parties may be seated at the communal table, and this place stays busy! Be prepared for a bit of a wait. I started with a café con leche, and although I'm not usually a sweets-for-breakfast kinda person, the croffle looked too enticing online to pass up. Being a huge egg aficionado, I also ordered a side of eggs à la carte. My coffee arrived quickly, but after waiting 30 minutes, I noticed that guests who had arrived after me were already enjoying their meals... When I checked in with the waiter, it turned out my order hadn't gone through at all. I had to reorder, and while waiting, I asked for another café con leche since I was long overdue for a refill. Unfortunately, that second coffee never came--but on the bright side, my meal eventually did. The croffle was freaking divine. Crispy/flakey on the outside, and soft inside. The cream was sweet, but not overpowering, and the tart of the berries balanced out the meal. As I was getting ready to check out, the waiter asked if I had ever received my second café con leche. Embarrassed for them, I admitted that I hadn't... Realizing they'd made ANOTHER mistake, he apologized profusely and quickly asked the barista to make me one to go. To compensate for my time and patience, he generously comped my entire meal, leaving me to pay only for the initial coffee (2.50 euros). Despite the service hiccups, the food was incredible--truly one of my favorite breakfasts in Spain.

Unfortunately, they weren't really that good. There was more cream than waffle, and the waffle itself didn't taste like anything. The cream had a weird taste; the only thing that was really delicious about it were the Oreos and Oreo bits on top. I also tried my friend's spirulina smoothie bowl, which she liked, but I didn't much. For drinks, I wanted to try the tiramisu coffee, but they were out, so I just had the hot chocolate. It was rich and sweet; I enjoyed it, but it wasn't exceptional. My friends had the Oreo vodka milkshake and the strawberry cheesecake vodka, which were, according to them, absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, the food and drinks I got weren't anything special. However, the vibe of this place is so cute and the service is very friendly!

Shout out to the server because I almost ordered a small breakfast that sounded great till he showed me a pic. I went with the Bagel breakfast with Eggs and ham on top. The bagel was thick and fluffy, not too doughy. They also add some crispy things to the top that added a nice texture and crunch. The coffee was good. Solid. Not excellent. But good. Service was a bit slow overall. Took a while to get our order in, then a really long time to get the food.
