The Niu Rou, a beef steak with spicy sauce, peanuts, bok choy, egg and sesame ramon that was the best thing I ate in Barcelona. It was perfectly spicy, the was meat tender and the bok choy was fresh.

The owner, Matt, a Minnesota transplant, was very helpful when I ask for dining and attraction suggestions.

We were supposed to go to Valencia but realized last minute it was too far for just one night. That led to us having more time in Barcelona so as we walked around we found the museum of history for Catalonia. After an hour at the museum, our stomachs said it was lunch time. We decided to walk around and find something and this place was right next door! We were SO happy to find a brewery with American comfort/Asian comfort food. We fell in love with their brut IPA & their Asian ribs and dumplings. We got a flight to try their various craft beers. I was too full to order the ramen but it looked delicious! Live music on Saturdays and an outdoor patio. The vibe is California chill & hipster with great music and seating spaces inside. We had a great time talking to the staff that were super attentive. Unique and delicious craft brews! Amazing food! Exceptional service! We left with a t shirt, beer glasses & great memories to take back to California!

Don't hesitate, put your name down and you'll soon be seated. Menus are available in Spanish, Catalan and English and the staff speaks fluent English. We sat at the bar and ordered the Spanish potato omelette, manchego cheese, ham, chorizo and Iberico ham with bread assortment. Followed this with the traditional potato omelette, grilled octopus, and shrimp skewers. All the food was fresh and delicious. Portions are decent so we had to skip dessert. I was told by a fellow patron that their French toast is very good. Well, next time!

My husband and I split everything to each be able to get a taste. We're not 100% sure the exact names of what we ordered, but everything was good. The cappuccinos were awesome and exactly what we needed for a long day of walking. The pastries were even better! One was cheese and chocolate, and the other cheese and jam. The empanadas were also great- we had one pollo and one carne. The carne was especially good! The sandwich- Jamon, tomate y huevo, was good, but I think my husband liked it more than I did. Overall I definitely recommend this spot for a great bite!

But if you get outside of the touristy area and you get to part of the real city, you can enjoy the charm and good quality. There are cute outdoor tables here, as well as a little balcony inside. The coffee is absolutely delicious, but be warned: They do not have decaf. Super stylish and attractive decor. Porcelain up for "here" orders (vs paper). They serve a delish chai with oat milk (no up-charge!). Enjoy this cute place, before it gets too popular! TL/dr: delish local java spot

We arrived around noon on a Tuesday, and it was packed. We both got some espressos and the Tofu Omelette (€9), adding some baked beans (€1). The food came in 10-15 minutes.

You get a grilled tomato, and a couple small pieces of artisan bread it. And the baked beans were tomatoey and smokey. Very friendly, gracious service, with good English spoken.
