Near the Cataluna museum of art but off just a bit to the side road and not on the main drag is this gem. Their sangria is wonderful, the dishes are tasty and reasonably priced. We didn't o see the octopus and I can remember if they have it on the menu. Though there are plenty of "stables" to choose from. read more

The food and service were incredible! The peppers, chicken wings and cheese plate were perfect for a late afternoon lunch. The interior was decorated like an adorable wine bar. Affordable and delicious. read more

I wish I could have eaten more here. This was one of my favorite meals during my trip because the food was absolutely as delectable as it looked on pictures and the service was attentive and friendly. They do speak English here and they handed us an English menu to mark off what we wanted. I decided to try the Pigs Ear with Jew Mushroom in Teriyaki Sauce and the Pulpa, as well as a croquette. The croquette was dainty yet substantial. The insides were creamy and the smell of ham was permeating the entire filling. The octopus (pulpa) was perfect. Really. They were not overdone and they surprisingly went well with the potato. A simple mix of black pepper and olive oil was just great for this dish. The pig ear was unlike any pig ear I've had before, simply because I am so used to the Chinese method of slicing it paper thin and marinating it. This was warm, chewy, chunky and it was like eating chewy yet crunchy fried pig skin with a nice warm gooey fat layer inside with a light tendon here and there. Whoa. The Jew mushroom was flavorful and I know they soak up flavor, but their "teriyaki" sauce was perfect and light. By the way, this is not the teriyaki sauce I'm used to-- the lowly overly saccharine and thick glaze we are accustomed to in the States. No. This was saucy, thin and just about as un-teriyaki as it gets. Still trying to figure out what the ingredients were from my tastebud memories. I also had a big bowl, I mean cup, no I meant goblet of sangria. That was fun, tasty and flavorful. Would definitely find myself coming back but then there are so many other options to choose! But you will not go wrong here if you're around the area! read more

Food - 5 Service - 5 Value - 5 Great spot that is also open early for people who are used to eating dinner earlier than 8 PM. We enjoyed all the dishes we got -- chicken croquettes, veal, octopus, eggs chirizo and potato and then iberico ham and tomato bread. All were quite tasty and just the right size for sharing between my wife and I. The ham was the best we have had so far and wasnt salty at all compared to the other places we have had it. Our favorite dish of the night was the octopus though -- so tender and paired nicely with the potatoes and sauce it came with (even though you wouldnt think so by just reading the menu description). We also ordered some sangria and a mojito and both were refreshing after a long day of walking. read more

Mondoré - Gastropubs Near Me - Barcelona, B

I set out one evening to dine a highly recommended Barcelona restaurant recently, and the service in that place (which shall remain nameless) was so horrendous that we cut our meal short and used Yelp to find a different restaurant. It led us to Mondoré, which turned out to be a complete and total gem. We loved every aspect of our dining experience here. The food was delicious and completely unique, the ambiance relaxed and welcoming, and the service was impeccable. Tip: The first thing that struck me after we were seated was the fact that Mondoré has an extensive selection of craft and Belgian beers; it's good when you don't have to go thirsty ;-) After a decent interval (not too long, but long enough for us to get settled and enjoy our drinks) our food was served family style so we could share. Everything was beautifully plated and presented, and all the dishes were slow cooked and perfect seasoned. That last goes triple for the ribs we ordered, which were fall-off-the-bone tender. The other dishes we ordered were the Patatas Bravas, the Veal Cheek, and the hake with fresh vegetables and squid ink rice. My personal favorite dish of the evening was the Veal Cheek. All the ingredients used here are obviously fresh, and our server was wonderfully attentive without being too obtrusive. Bottom line: Mondoré is perfect for a casual lunch or dinner, and it looks to be an excellent place to go with a group as well. I look forward to returning. read more

Highly recommended restaurant in Barcelona! Everything is tapas style here and it was a great way to try multiple different dishes. The staff was super friendly (one even tried really hard to find us a cab afterwards) and were speedy with the food, more napkins, and plates. The menu was easy to read and you simply checked off everything you wanted! Check in on Yelp and you get a free little beer as well!! Some of the tapas we tried were the tuna tar tar with an avocado nut sauce, cheese plate, sausage, a white fish, and a creamy dessert. One dish was better than the next. So so good! Can't forget about the great wine and beer also. Certainly left extremely satisfied after this meal! read more

The service was excellent with perfect pacing of the delicious food items. Wine: 2 bottles of Castellroig Blanc (€15 each). Light. Food: * 2 Roasted Chick Croquettes - shredded chicken. A refreshing change from jamón y queso. Lacon - slightly smokey thinly sliced pork with tomato bread. Lots of pork. Fabulous. Broken eggs with potatoes and chorizo - OMG! Chorizo tasted almost like Mexican chorizo. Perfect poached eggs. + Service - Paper Napkins - Cheap flatware - "Jay Spain" €53.10 for dinner for 2 read more

Really loved this little place! The tapas were great and the cocktail/wine/beer selection was extensive. We came early--right when they opened on a Thursday--because we were staving on arrival in Barcelona. Probably wasn't the normal lively atmosphere they get in the evenings, but the music was great and it made for a mellow afternoon lunch. I had a 1906, which is a Spanish beer they have on draft. It was yummy and light, but stronger than a normal lager--probably a lighter amber (ask for a taste). We also had the Bravas=spicy potatoes (potato wedges with spicy sauce and aioli), Tuna Tataki, South Style Calamari=American type fried calamari, and a Mykonos Pizza (toasted thin loaf with onions, tomato, feta and olives). I liked the potatoes and calamari the best, but they were all pretty great. Overall, we just really enjoyed the vibe and good food. The waitress was also helpful and friendly, even making suggestions for the nightlife in the area. read more

Mondoré - 1906 Spanish beer on tap - Gastropubs Near Me - Barcelona, B

A friend and I happened upon this little spot after late evening massages. We were pleasantly surprised by the tasty options and fantastic service. We especially enjoyed singing along to the music on the radio with our servers. We had sangria, chicken croquettes, the green salad, Iberian ham, poached egg with chorizo, the leeks, a tuna pizza, and the brownie and French toast. All very yummy and filling! We'll definitely be back again when we have the chance! read more

Great service! Finally found some good tapas in Spain after many failed attempts to do so. Also, the chef is very cool :) Bravo!!! From the happy American couple ;P read more

As a world traveler, this is exactly the kind of place I always look for when I visit a new place with great culinary culture. This is a low key neighborhood tapas place located off from touristic areas of Barcelona. I sample more than 7 dishes, and all of them are world class! The pig ear dish for example really demonstrates the creativity and worldliness of the chef. Think about it, it really does not take much to cook a Boston lobster well, but to make pig ear this well, this shows finesse and sophistication. Go there, and you will not be disappointed... our meal consisted 7 tapas and 2 large beers, and costed less than 60 euros. If similar quality of food were served in a tapas place in New York City, it will cost at least twice as much. read more

Could be worse for a touristy area. That said, considering quality, quantity, and cost, it nowhere near deserves a 4.5 star rating. Nothing appeared freshly cooked, and despite paying greater than 10 euros, I was still hungry due to the small portions. Taste was nothing special either. I'd say unless you're coming for alcohol, you're better off elsewhere. read more

Definitely a great meal! We ordered a bunch of tapas and everything was delicious. They have great beers, indoor, outdoor, with and without tv areas to dine. Definitely a good decision! read more

Ranked #2 of our 5 tapas meals in BCN. Perfect place for our party of 9 to eat before the Magic Fountain show just a couple blocks away. They even saved a table for us with a couple hours notice. The clams and mussels were both crowd favorites. The BBQ pork, chicken wings and leeks were also strong. They also offered "Catalan pizza," which was appreciated by three of the kids in our group who were ready for a break from tapas. read more

We had about 50 hours in Barcelona and ended up eating here twice. Staff speaks perfect english. The food is diverse, something for everyone. It's also delicious! The drinks are truly crafted and fantastic. Lots of selection for drinks as well, largest beer menu we saw in all of Spain. Try the papas, Iberian Ham, croquettes and Puerto de Indias gin with hibiscus tonic! read more

Was trying to find a tapas place near plaza de España abd stumbled upon this restaurant. Though the ambiance and location were favorable, we were overall disappointed in the food. We had to send back our order of tuna as it clearly wasn't fresh, and only ate half of our "salmon sashimi" as we kept finding more and more gray pieces of fish. Service was adequate but for Barcelona, there are far better tapas restaurants to be found. read more

Great place to grab lunch after touring the Montjuic area. Food was 4 stars but service was 5 stars. We enjoyed the meal a lot. They have tapas and also set meal that comes with a first plate, second plate, bread and a drink. We liked the beer that was made for this place. My glass of red wine was just ok. I had the fish dish and enjoyed it a lot. The sausage dish my partner had was mediocre. I ordered the leek in peanut butter tapas, not sure if I liked it. It was cooked very soft, something I'm not very use to. The server and the cook were very pleasant and nice read more

Didn't want to wait for a table at Tickets and went here instead. Did not regret it. Everything was delicious and we walked away super full. My favorite was the octopus dish on a pureed bean mash. For seafood lovers, the "black rice" dish is a must have. read more

Great tapas. Another one that keeps your taste buds saying they have wonderful food in Barcelona. Topical tapas, croquettes, pan with tomato, goat cheese salad slightly toasted. The jamón ibérica is tasty, and they got wine, beer and cocktails. Ambiance is sort of wine cellar in the front part restaurant in the back. Great spot if you are walking around looking for some quick tapas and a drink. Staff was great though despite being short handed, I will return. read more

Stopped here for some tapas and drinks. Decent food with the best service from Alex. Extremely attentive, charming, and helpful. Started out with sangria and gin & tonics. We then ordered a number of plates including the clams, Catalan sausage with white bean ragu, octopus with broke potatoes, tomato bread, and the tuna. The tuna was probably my least favorite dish but everything else was pretty tasty. Alex even gave us some patatas bravas to try out. The restrooms were also decent and clean by European standards. And sitting outside on a beautiful day made it extremely pleasant! read more

I enjoy California craft beer and the IPA from this place was on point. Check it out if you are in the area.

I'm pretty surprised this place got such great reviews. Came here for lunch and was excited to try this after hitting some really good restaurants thanks to yelpers. The servers were really nice! However, this review is about the food. Firstly I have to say the food came suspiciously fast. I ordered the Tuna with avocado/aioli which tasted weird and was served at room temperature which I found odd. The aftertaste made some fear of a possible food poisoning since the tuna was mainly raw. For main course I had the Ropa fish which was served with potatoes. It honestly tasted like cafeteria food. Very rubbery and way too much salty gravy that tasted out of a can- even the potatoes on the side were horrible. Thankfully, the dessert came to save me. It was a creamy lemony whip creamy creme brolee madness. Will not recommend, at least not for lunch. read more

Service was exceptionally nice, but the food left a lot to be desired in a city where you can get amazing tapas most anywhere.

First stop in Barcelona. Just ok. Seated inside which was a disappointment as there are only ~3 tables outside. Ordered their MonDorè beer which was good. Sardine and chicken croquette to start. Just ok. Octopus over potato was good, but I was hoping for great. Pardon peppers needed more salt. Best choice was the monkfish special served with carrots and zucchini. Slow service. Ordered a second drink and it never game. read more

Came here after the attack. Staff was amazing -- food was even better. House vino tinto is something you'd return for. Croquetas de jamón son lo máximo. Would recommend this place for a quick or leisurely bite. read more

This place was just awesome. The food was incredible, and the price was very good. The staff was very eager to make sure we had everything we needed. The calamari was fantastic, the cheese plate came with fruit gelatin that was a very interesting, but welcome, touch. We also got muscles, pizza, and potatoes. All of them were delicious and the cheapest bottle of wine was nothing to scoff at. I'd absolutely recommend this place. Great food for an even better price. read more

We tried the menu of the day. Boy, what a surprise. The food was excellent (especially that salmon). The service was good. Fresh bread. Just simple great food. It almost felt like some Spanish grandma cooked dinner for us at some affordable prices. read more

My wife and I wanted a restaurant nearby the magic fountain after we watched the show. We find Mondoré and we were not disappointed. We started with the croquetas de jamon and ended up ordering another. We also had the paella and the tuna tataki enjoyed it very much. The service was excellent for having what seemed to be only 3 people working all the tables . I would definitely come back the next time I am in Spain. read more

Great food, great service. The potatoes were simply fantastic and they had really great beers. We actually had an extra order that we forgot about and while we were about to leave it was coming out but the waiter just took care of it for us. read more

Excellent service and good food. Good value for your money, and a nice place for tapas in Barcelona.

I am a beer lover and I can recognize a good beer selection (or I want to think I can). These guys are really well located nearby plaça Espanya, the Fira de Barcelona, Eixample Esquerra and Sant Antoni neighbourhoods. A nice place divided in different ambients, with a terrace, a downstairs room with a small bar and an upstairs room to enjoy a cocktail after dinner. Taking a look to the beer menu you'll find a nice selection from international IPA to local Ales. A good selection that fits all palates. And if you want to have a snack of something to eat, no worries, their food menu also contains a large selection of spanish and catalan delicacies. I greatly recommend the beef chick (meloso de ternera) and the Calamari. Staff is nice and helpful, always ready to guide you through their menu. A must go. read more

Great service and delicious tapas. We enjoyed the seafood choices, especially the octopus. English is spoke here.

We came here on our way to the Font Màgica de Montjuïc after seeing a great review on Yelp. The croquettes were huge and well priced. Best selection of beer I've seen in Barcelona and Madrid with local and abroad options. The staff is incredibly friendly and quick. They also play futbol matches here. read more

Nice little sidewalk tapas bar and brewery. I sampled the light and dark beers. Both were excellent. I had the grilled octopus which was excellent. Served over mashed potatoes. Very nice. I highly recommend this restaurant when you visit Barcelona read more

Incredibly delicious tapa at a reasonable price ! We really enjoyed the food here! The waiters are great!

Very solid lunch. Papas bravas cooked better than everywhere else we've tried in the city (nice and crispy) but the red sauce had little flavor (no picante, no vinegar nor a touch of sweetness like ketchup - I could have gone for any of the above). The Catalan sausage with white bean puree was very nice and something different. I would give more white bean but overall a great dish. The last dish was some veal pressed into squares and crisped on the outside, with perfectly carmelized onions. It was a real winner and something unique that I have not had anywhere else. Good service. Pan con tomate was OK but not enough tomato and too much olive oil (getting nitpicky there but I've had better at most places in the city). Typical but good sangria. Overall, buen trabajo! read more
