They could benefit from a bit more banana or fresh fruit to balance out the stack, especially given the size of the dish. The English breakfast was excellent, well-cooked and satisfying, and the side of chorizo stood out as particularly flavorful. Coffee was genuinely perfect, easily one of the highlights of the meal. The overall vibe is a classic European café style, relaxed and comfortable, good for a casual sit-down breakfast or brunch. One important note: this is not a place for traditional Spanish food. If you are looking for local Catalan or Spanish breakfast or tapas, this will feel more international than authentic. Overall, strong for coffee and comfort food, but not aligned with a traditional Barcelona culinary experience.good service and free WiFi

The seating space was small and there was one staff behind the bar and the other staff serving all the tables so service took a bit but our server was helpful and as attentive as possible considering he was covering the entire restaurant. I got the English breakfast and enjoyed the sausage, bacon, and potatoes alot. My friend got the Dutch stack pancakes and said they were a tasty and savory breakfast. We both got brunch cocktails and caffeine and really enjoyed our leisurely Barcelona Brunch. I'd definitely come back and try something else.

I wanted a good old fashioned burger and this place is THE PLACE to get it in España! Bacoa was everything I ever wanted and needed in a burger at this time in my life. We went to the location on Ferran, which is close by La Rambla. If it's your first time there, you fill out a piece of paper to place your ordered. You check what kind of meat, bread, sauce, sides, fries or extra sauce you want. I ordered the classic burger with bacon, caramelized onions and their truffle sauce with a side of skinny fries. Absolutely delicious!! This burger reminded me of Super Duper burger in San Francisco and that's saying something because I hold that place in high regard! The meat was cooked to medium rare perfection and tasty - meaning it was seasoned well. The caramelized onions added the right amount of sweetness and the bacon was bacon, lol. I can't get over the truffle sauce and how well it paired with the burger as a whole. I feel like the sauce helped to elevate the burger into amazingness. The fries were hot and crispy when they came out and not over salted. And it doesn't hurt that most of it is organic! I wish I had more space to order one of their desserts but I didn't, womp womp. If you have a chance to eat a burger in Spain, don't go to Burger King, go here!

While vacationing in Barcelona we found this great little burger joint just down the street from…read moreour hotel, right in the heart of the city. It was lunch time & the place was busy. We checked in with the host & waited outside on the sidewalk for a table to become available. The staff were all very friendly & explained in English how to order. Once we ordered & were seated it didn't take long for our food to be brought out to us. Inside La Central it was cozy & welcoming. We ordered a Classic Burger & a Caesar Salad with Chicken & both were delicious. The burger was juicy & the salad was large & yummy. These were just a little different that what you 'd get in the U.S. but not by much. I can see why La Central is so popular. Great food, great service...I highly recommend!

Not the caramel- the chocolate one. I didn't try that. But the chocolate cheesecake was absolutely amazing. La Cehtral has a wonderful hip vibe to it, the people coming in are always happy, and they seem to leave very satisfied. Nicki, our waitress, doesn't serve in a pure function as a waitress because you order and pay online, or your order with golf pencils and a Spanish or English menu. But I would recommend you use the QR code, because it gives you a few more options, like cooking the burger medium or well, and things like adding an egg are included online. I don't know if you have the ability to use the picture I posted here of the QR code, but that would allow you to look at the menu and see the current prices. But be careful not to order unless you're sitting in the restaurant - understand that the QR code is keyed to that wood block, which in this case has the number three on it and that's what she uses to deliver the food to your table.

You can get your simple Estrella bottle of beer, or a drink with a gimmicky name. They also have some kickass t-shirts with skulls, fire, and other macho symbolism, which is my favorite form of souvenir from a trip. Despite being in Barcelona for less than a week, my friend and I found ourselves here on two nights. If you're not in the mood for a crazy club night, this is surely a great way to spend a night at a dive and having a some beers.

A burger and fries will slay nearly any hunger, so you'll get your money's worth. Something I love about Bacoa is that they have these little ordering pamphlets in many languages. Select the one that's right for you and fill in the bubbles, scan-tron-style, to alert the staff what you'd like to order. They make it fresh, so you will have to wait longer than McDonald's, but the taste benefits are worth it. I got the Bacoa burger and it was outstanding. I also love that they have hand-made hot sauce in bottles on the tables. It's a surefire way to give your fries a powerful picante punch.

The foie gras was absolutely unforgettable--rich, delicate, and simply to die for. The sangria was equally exceptional, fresh, balanced, and dangerously delicious. But what makes this place truly special is something that can't be captured on a menu. The atmosphere, the warmth, the way time seems to slow down... words simply can't do it justice. If you're visiting Barcelona, don't just come here for dinner. Come here to fall in love with the food, the city, the moment, or maybe even someone sitting across the table. An experience I'll never forget.

Well, the restaurant was cute and cozy with a great ambiance. With luck on our side, we found two seats at the bar and quickly ordered drinks. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria (because why not?). The sangria was delicious, refreshing, and made to order. It was definitely more authentic than what we're getting in America. We ordered the patatas bravas, tempura asparagus, the octopus, and the steak. It all came out as it became available. We couldn't decide what our favorite was, to be honest. We ordered an ice cream sandwich for dessert and quickly requested our bill. We didn't want to hold the staff up as we noticed they were cleaning the establishment and people were finishing up. Overall, what a great experience for our first meal in Barcelona! Cute and hidden gem.
