The other customers were locals and judging by their interactions with the staff, plainly regulars. There was a small bar and about a dozen tables with a mix of Spanish and English music playing. The selection of liquor was good, and beer and wine choices weee excellent. The fresh meat and fish food ingredients were on display in refrigerated, glass cases on the bar top. The bartender was personable and went out of her way to connect me to the internet and a menu in English. I ordered the fried squid tentacles with a liter of the local draft beer, Estrella Damm, and finished with a Jack Daniels on the rocks. The price was very reasonable and much less than I would have expected. It was a great experience!

Everything is beautifully presented and they handled our large group with ease. Definitely make a reservation, especially if you've got a large group. They may not have a Michelin star, but they're as good as or better than any place I've been that has one. If you're in the main part of Barcelona, it can be a trek out here (it is SO worth it), but if you're staying by the convention center and its nearby shopping mall, it is an easy walk and I haven't found anything else in the area that comes close.

That was a great start to a delicious meal that everyone enjoyed. I wish I could have tried all the appetizers. In hindsight, this might be the way to go! The food and service were so on point that our group went back a second time (with a reservation) in our four days in Barcelona. This time we ordered the epic Chocolate Bonsai dessert to cap the meal. It had a satisfying amount of chocolate with textures and tastes that leave you wanting more. I shared this dessert... and wish I didn't The noise level was high but otherwise this one scores high on every aspect of the dining experience!

The stars were definitely the braised leeks and scallops. The butter garlic sauce on the scallops was so delicious I want it injected in my veins. The iberico pork was crazy tender and full of flavor. The duck paella was probably my least favorite - surprising because I love paella. Don't get me wrong, the flavor was still great. But it's saucier than a traditional paella and I don't really prefer my duck shredded. But it was a strong swing from away a classic paella. Overall just a wonderful experience.

AMAZING. cooked to a medium and was deliciously tender. others reported the angus tenderloin was good, but needed some kind of sauce with it. desserts (pick one): variety of chocolates cannoli filled with goat cheese cheesecake and berries ice cream - passionfruit and raspberry with a white crunch for 65 euro per person for the prix-fixe, this was a great meal to share with friends! drinks - very reasonably priced bottles of wine (around 28 euro per bottle), so we kept well hydrated throughout the experience. others in the group got cocktails and said they were really good as well. i've never spent 3.5 hrs in any restaurant, anywhere, but i would go back here in a heartbeat. i fully recommend checking this place out if you're in Barcelona!

We were a party of 4 so without asking they put 2 tables together. We were thirsty so they brought us our drinks pretty quickly. The waiter had no English and the head guy only had some. He came out and with virtually no Spanish we explained that one in out party was a vegetarian and we wanted tapas. He said he would pick for us and I gave the thumbs up. They brought out olives, a tomatoes and goat cheeses salad, chips and guacamole, cheese pizza, olives and boneless sardines, toast with cheese and bushutto, potatoes and cheese, toast jam and cheese, and a had brownish and cheese dish. Needless to say we were swamped with food and they only charged 25 euros. It was all good except the sardines were really salty. The potatoes with cheese isn't something I'd order again. Everything else I'd definitely order again. The only downside is it's a dog friendly park so there are flies. Also they don't take credit cards.
