Touristy place in gothic quarter but came as recommendation from our tattoo artist :) They have a giant menu- something for everyone in my opinion. Good prices. Indoor and outdoor seating. Service was a bit slow but friendly. It was a hot day so there were gnats. And there were kids outside who kept chasing birds. Those were only annoyances :) I enjoyed the gazpacho and chicken croquettes. My friend got fried fish which came with potatoes. We shared a liter of sangria. Would recommend! read more

The Les Quinze Nits is a busy well known eatery in the Placa Reial within the Gothic Quarter. This ritsy restaurant has a private room in the back just past the bar where we dined for an hour tasting several traditional spanish dishes including Squid Ink Negro Arroz, Fried Aubergine with Chili Sauce and lots of wine. The covered outside patio was the perfect romantic setting providing the option of watching tourists gawking at the open square. read more

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend on our first night in Barcelona. We opted to sit outside so we could people watch and there is a 10% surcharge for that. We ordered the pernil (jamon) and pa amb tomaquet, patates braves, and arroz negro (minimum 2 person order). All the food was tasty. The pernil was good quality and the patates braves came with 2 tasty sauces and a sausage mixed in. The arroz negro with their aioli was my favorite part; it was quite filling and had a nice texture. They accept credit cards and also have indoor seating. It's good for big groups and tourists though my boyfriend's family (who are Catalan) also enjoy this place. read more

Real good breakfast place, we even came here 2 days in a row! Actually ended up coming here because the fancy brunch please nearby Had a long wait list but we are definitely glad we came here. Food was absolutely delicious and so so so cheap! Five of us had a meal for about 35 Euros and we were not expecting this at all! And this is after getting croissants and coffee and juice and such as well along with egg items. Portion sizes on the omelette did seem a little small but along with everything else it was good and filling! Game with toast on the side which had some tomatoes spread on top so that was nice. The skillet omelette also was really nice. Really like the spicy sauce that was on that one! Husband and sister both enjoyed this for sure. Husband got the grilled croissant sandwich - said it was nice! Dad tried the Eggs Benedict and loved it! Also got the chicken avocado sandwich which was extremely large and delicious!! Hot Chocolate and Cappuccino were both quite large and yummy! read more

The food was complete disappointment, zumo de melocoton tasted horrible, served only one piece . Paella was tasteless, seafood over cooked. Iberian ham was good, didn't get the bread with fresh mushed tomatoes (?). Sangria was delicious. Service was good, waitress was pleasant. Good location, horrible food. Would not recommend. read more

Tourist trap, highbcost of food for a small amount, the seafood paella was a bit too salty for my taste and such a small amount , not enough to fill 2 people, the wait time is really long , took 20 min to receive menu, and a hour to get our food. Also they messed up our check, we only ordered the paella and our check showed 5 different items. I would avoid thisbplace. read more

The restaurant sits at the vibrant Plaza Real and provide incredibly delicious food. The Black Rice with Cuttlefish and Fideua Noodle, Fishermen's Style are so delicious. read more

We had such an amazing experience in Les Quinze Nits. They have great seating options for outside or inside (the decorations inside are stunning and the seating outside is perfect for a sunny and warm day out). They have a great menu of the day option but we decided to order the fideuá for 2 people and the spinach salad. Both of them were delicious and very filling! The service was also great and attentive to our needs. Will definitely be back read more

I was staying at a nearby hotel and asked the hotel manager for some food recommendations and this spot came up in our conversation. She recommended I go here for some paella, but in honesty I think she was referring me here since I was of Asian ethnicity. More on that story! When I arrived here, I was a little surprised by lots of my southeast Asian peeps working here! Lots of Filipino staff and came to find out they own a few of the restaurants in this courtyard establishment. The menu was a bit of a mixup as they had Asian dishes such as gyoza and sushi! Overall I thought the food was decent. I went with the seafood paella. It wasn't the greatest I've ever had, but I also had a lot leftover. I paired with a nice glass of Chardonnay and the Filipino waiter and I had some good conversations about the history of Spain and Barcelona. That made my evening more entertaining nevertheless! I think the restaurant is made to cater to a lot of tourists since this is a tourist hub in the city of Barcelona. I felt like the service made up for whatever was lacking in my paella. I left as a satisfied customer and had no complaints. read more

On a Saturday evening. It was busy... always a short wait for seating. We were attracted by the moderate wine pricing.... about 50 bottles all priced under 28 euros. The beer and house wines had reasonable prices as well. Our paella was just 15.50 euro per person...a good surprise. It was good... but not wonderful. ( a bit light on meat and spices,) The plaza had about 12 restaurants... and a market with about 10 places selling mostly jewelry. It was a great Saturday evening. For a white-table-cloth restaurant, it is perfect. read more

Service and ambiance was good but the food is mediocre! The seafood paella is very salty and was not the traditional saffron-infused paella. Perhaps, it's because I was not in the region of Valencia, Spain. I dined in with 3 other individuals and we all agreed that the food we had at this restaurant were not good. read more

I had such high hopes for the paella. I should have read other peoples reviews before coming here... The paella came out crusty and cold, the calamari was rubber and I agree with a previous poster that I don't believe there's any Spaniards cooking or working at this place. Feels like a tourist trap-avoid! read more

Les Quinze Nits - I had such high hopes for the paella - Mediterranean Near Me - Barcelona, B

Came here for lunch our first day in Barcelona. I can't say I recommend this place... we heard good reviews so wanted to give it a shot, but the experience was underwhelming. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day out, but as we were eating lunch, someone came up running behind our table and tried to grab out backpack from under the table. Luckily, they were not able to get the bag, but it was a scary experience. So if you sit outside, please be mindful of pickpockets. The food was also lackluster. Nothing special. We had been looking forward to trying authentic paella, but even that was not very good. I wouldn't recommend this place, but maybe their other dishes are better.. or maybe it is better for dinner. read more

I honestly would give this restaurant 3 1/2 stars. The food was good but not my type of paella. This one had almost like a gravy on it. The sangria was pretty good. Sitting outside to people watch from the restaurant was really nice. Some beggars to come by but not annoyingly so. read more

Great atmosphere and really good (stromg) sangria. Love the Placa Reial, great outdoor seating for people watching and just relaxing. Had the tuna salad, calamari, and patatas bravas. We had also ordered mussels but it hadn't come out by the time we finished eating and they allowed us to cancel the order. read more

I don't recommend the restaurant. Came from the airport from Rome with a desire to eat Paella. This restaurant has to be one of the worst I have been. The Paella is not the typical paella. Not even made by Spaniards. It's made by Middle East people in the kitchen without saffron. The waitresses are from the Philippines. Not what I was expecting to come to Barcelona for authentic Spanish food. The wine isn't bad but the food is horrible. Don't recommend the seafood paella and do not recommend the octopus tapas. It's just mashed potatoes with some octopus as garnishing. It's expensive potatoes. You have been warned. Horrible! read more

Les Quinze Nits - Seafood Paella - Mediterranean Near Me - Barcelona, B

Jamie W. and I have been here before. About nine years ago when we were last in Barcelona. It's hard to resist Plaça Reial when it comes to heavy-duty people watching because the interior square sits so snugly between Barri Gòtic and La Ramblas. We were relaxing like true Catalans having a pitcher of sangria at twilight the last time we were here. This time it was after a morning stroll through the historic alleyways from our hotel in L'Eixample. The weather couldn't have been better, so we sat ourselves down at a small table where we could take in the variety of mankind from our seats. The waitresses were kept busy by indecisive tables of tourists of many different stripes. We were just pleased to be able nurse our 1.85€ Lattes (photo: http://bit.ly/2B6bn3U). Even though we did have our breakfast meal bars back at the hotel, we decided to share a tumbler filled with the 4.85€ Yoghurt with Seasonal Fruit & Homemade Granola because frankly it looked so good as it passed by. The fruit consisted of fresh strawberries, red grapes, pineapple, and kiwi fruit, which contrasted nicely with the crunch of the granola (photo: http://bit.ly/2APqjmt). Meanwhile the book stalls and flea market merchandise were getting set up in the plaza (photo: http://bit.ly/2kf28UF), so it was time to start rambling on La Ramblas. FOOD - 4 stars...simple, fresh breakfast nicely presented AMBIANCE - 4 stars...can't beat Plaça Reial for watching life walk by SERVICE - 3.5 stars...a bit harried TOTAL - 4 stars...we'll be back in another nine years read more

Came here for dinner and did not disappoint. Beautiful place surrounded with other restaurants and a fountain in the middle which we were told lights up but been broken. Our server Editha which btw was amazing recommended black rice. Never had black rice before but oh boy it was bomb especially mixed with the garlic aoili! Don't forget to stop here while in Barca. Good food and friendly staff read more

This is located in Placa Reial which may seem like a tourist trap but it was recommended by others. Great location and nice view! They serve breakfast and lunch begins at 12 (but only outside). 11.35 euros for the menu of the day (starter, main course, dessert or coffee, and water or wine). We ordered gazpacho (cold vegetable soup), vegetables, paella and a rose and white wine. Wines came out in a cute glass bottle. Squid ink croquettes were one of my favorites! Recommend ordering paella off the menu of the day. Still tasted good, nothing extraordinary but it comes on a plate not in a pan from the menu. Vegetables were very bland. Dessert consisted of magnum ice cream and a fruit salad which was nothing special. Overall it was a good amount of food for the price. Midway through our meal at 1pm, the outside and inside of the restaurant was packed! Special note about my experience with the service though: HORRENDOUS. Europe has a rep for bad service so you get accustomed to it. However this was beyond that. The waitress had an attitude that really came out when the wrong order was brought out. She argued with us AND complained loudly in Spanish (thankfully I understand Spanish) before bringing out the correct order. The other waiters seemed very pleasant and did not encourage the complaining so it may not be the restaurant but just certain individuals. Aside from the service, I would come back for the food and the loc read more

Let's be honest - we all try to pretend that we're not like the other tourists, but in many ways - we are. We walk La Rambla, we visit La Boqueria and from time to time - we end up in an eatery focused solely on tourists. Still, I hate the moment when it happens. But still being honest - Les Quinze Nits is not that bad place to end up. The food is quite good, the service is professional and you could expect higher prices in a place so close to La Rambla. So, not my first choice, but not necessarily a place to avoid. read more

this place got recommended to me by a friend! the mussels were really good! the food was a overall 10/10. if you're not big on seafood, the pasta was good too. the sauce wasn't anything special but it was delicious!! the service though...! it was very slow and took forever. the ambiance was very chill! nice outdoor seating if the weather cooperates. the sangria was ok, very bitter. the tiramisu was non traditional. there were no lady fingers! overall good place and would come again for the food! read more

Barcelona has totally redefined "el fresco" for me, truly setting the bar high on this one! The sun-dripped cascade and the bustle of the square make for an eclectic, mid-spring atmosphere. Not to mention the richness and presentation of their paella, which tasted as good as it looked! While the wait may turn out to be longer than expected, the time will pass with the considerable people-watching. That, or perhaps the sangria earlier in the day really got to us. read more

We were told by a souvenir shop keeper to come here for some of the best Spanish food in Barcelona. Was he right? Yea, partly. Les Quinze Nits is situated inside a very beautiful plaza in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. Given its location, I expected prices to be higher with bustling activity throughout. The restaurant definitely felt much more upscale than a lot of other joints, and the wait staff definitely seemed impatient when we did not have our order ready. Eventually, we ordered a pitcher of sangria along with a mixed paella (9€ a person), baby octopus appetizer, and eventually some desserts. The octopus was my favorite part of the meal. It wasn't overly salty and the bed of crisps gave it a nice crunch. As for the paella, I found it a bit too soggy for my taste, and not a whole lot of food for the amount that were paying. It was still edible and good, but not amazing. Both desserts that we ordered was okay. Nothing really outstanding to rave about, but a great pallet cleanser nonetheless. Overall, I think if you can snag a table outside, this restaurant would be worth the price paid. However, I'd try to look for other alternatives if you can, especially in spots that offer menu del dias so you get the most out of your euro. read more

Food was tasty but service is terrible. We finished eating about 20 min ago and we are still waiting to see the waitress. Drinks are empty, she is too busy. Also, one of the dishes was listed as vegan and we found chicken bits in the sauce (gnocchi with vegan Bolognese sauce) Half an hour after waiting for the waitress to take our dessert order we walked away with no dessert. Service here is the worst!! Too bad because the food was decent. read more

Go to the Gothic Quarter they said, it'll be the best food in Barcelona they said, surrrrreeeee budd! I'm here to say the Gothic quarter and many of it's restaurants are over rated. That isn't to say all restaurants and bars in this BCN neighbourhood are bad but from what I came to experience it's a lot of reviews based on volume of tourists rather than quality of food and service. Les Quinze Nits was no different. On Yelp and TripAdvisor it boasts one of the highest number of reviews in the area, and leagues above anything in the Plaça Riel area just off La Rambla, but the reviews mean nothing in this instance. The food was mass produced crap meant to be turned out as fast as possible with as little care or attention to detail as is needed. The redeeming quality of this restaurant is that you are able to dine outside if you would like and can people watch in the square. Oh, people watch and be assaulted/bothered by every panhandler, street vendor and derelict who staggers into the square. I get that it's a public space but wow the restaurant people do absolutely nothing to dissuade these folks or to guarantee the safety and comfort of their al fresco dining guests. True story, a guy pretending to be disabled (walked away fine when a manger came around) spat at a couple next to us and called them 'whores' when they refused to give him money. My wife enjoyed her pasta and for some reason they got that one right. I ordered a dish and the noodles were so overcooked they could barely stay on my fork once pierced. I sent it back and asked for it to be redone - probably got spit in my meal for all I know, because when the "new" dish came back the pasta was just as mushy as before, just topped with even more sauce. Service was my other problem here, basically you get seated and then asked "Are you ready to order?" We weren't at that point and said we needed a minute, which turned into 40 minutes before we saw someone again. The wait time for food was insane, as was the wait time on getting a fresh dish made. Don't believe TripAdvisor and it's 4+ star average, Yelp is far more accurate putting that at 3 stars. I wouldn't come back here and strongly advise you to avoid this place like the plague.

Food was very bland with little to no flavor. Service was ok. The ambiance and location was great though.

This place is amazing!! Prices are lower than expected for the experience and quality of food. Portions are great for groups, tapas were enough for 4 people.

Have you ever heard the saying Go where the locals go they know where the good food is OR If you see a lot of people the food must be good!.... Well this place came Highly recommended by several locals as a place you MUST go eat!.... they lied to me!, the best thing this place has going for it is the atmosphere of the outdoor dining area because the food really sucked... Paella Mixte (€8.50 x 2) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/les-quinze-nits-barcelona?select=ZF51n0Rydu6VVnsyGQpw_A I guess/think the Paella's are made in various sizes the minimum is a two person size which is what you see.

Nice restaurant in a Plaza. If you are going for dinner, be sure to be there at 7pm, because there will be a line for the wait. It's worth the experience!! We were seated in the second floor which had a nice view into the Plaza. Tried out the Black Rice with Cuttlefish & Pasta that were very good!! We also tried a rice with octupus black ink. Service is impeccable, ambience and decoration is very chic! read more

This is a superb restaurant that delivers great value. Especially good is the fresh seafood, and a nice comprehensive dessert menu. Although it's in the heart of Plaza Real, inside there is a nice calmish ambience. Outdoor seating is also available if you like to soak up the atmosphere of the plaza. From various visits, several dishes stood out: the battered hake; grilled squids with basil and parsley oil; the Tomato soup; Mushroom and asparagus soup; and for dessert the "White chocolate cake with two chocolates". read more

I really loved this place and remember it fondly. I went back in 2005 when I was visiting Barcelona. My friends and I went for dinner and the line was out the door (everyone was waiting for it to open!) We made it in and enjoyed a bunch of stuff off the menu. I do remember my vegetable pasta being really good. We also had sangria which was really yummy. The restaurant had two floors when we went (we were seated upstairs)...the whole place was gorgeous. Definitely recommended. read more
