Everything in Barcelona is adorable, as is Agust Gastro Bar! We started off with some cocktails…read morethat were delicious, but I must note that our server forgot about our drinks...well, I think she did. She said the bar was really busy - but they arrived shortly after we asked about them. The second round was much faster - and they sent complimentary shots to the table. So, you decide. Food: Starters: - Tomato bread, YUM! - Chicken croquet (my favorite) - Scallops (we all decided we could have done without) - Tacos (very juicy). I wish I took a picture of the menu, I don't recall what each dish was, but these are my best guesses. Main course: - Octopus (cooked perfectly!) - Steak (a little raw for my taste, but the potatoes and sauce it came with were great!) - Chicken something in a potato pasta or something like that (skip, too bland) Dessert: We had to get the sorbet in the shape of the succulent. I was very refreshing and better than i expected. The servers made up for the forgotten drinks and were very kind and even gave us recommendations of places to go out that evening. I would definitely go back!

Went to Agust upon a friend's recommendation. The restaurant is two levels, both of which are…read moreseemingly small but surprisingly spacious. We sat upstairs with a large party and had plenty of space. Our recommender said the food was phenomenal, but I personally found it to be just pretty good. I ordered the Thai vegetarian curry which was very good but salty. A decent amount of vegetables but much more rice than actual curry. My one friend who ordered a dish (which the name of unfortunately escapes me) with prawns, beans, and chorizo also shared this sentiment. Other dishes that received good reviews from the table included a cheese platter, the cactus dessert (mojito mousse and lemon sorbet), the fish of the day (which was cod), and the mushroom risotto. We also ordered a bottle of Cava Montjuic, which tasted similar to many other sparkling white wines. One problem to note was that we were not alerted that the fish of the day had clams atop it, which posed a problem for the recipient of the dish who has a shellfish allergy. The staff was polite and understanding, though she did just have to order and pay for another dish. Overall, nice atmosphere and good food, but not as great as expected.

This place was recommended by James and Yoli from Spain revealed (Youtuber who gives amazing tips…read moreto how to visit Spain as a "local"). He said the best Bravas of Barcelona were in La Bodega La Palma and he was right!! Omg the potatoes were deliciously fried/crispy and soft in the inside- with a flavorful sauce both spicy/mild combo. We devoured them too fast! The croquetas were amazing!! We had an empanada de carne (beef) man so good I wished I ordered more. We also had pan con tomate (their bread with a tomato jam) so good! This place was very authentic/local tapas bar. Tiny inside, rustic, old but mega cool at the same time with delicious, fresh, amazing food. The service was pretty decent. We walked a while before arriving here but it was so worth it! If you visit Barcelona you have to try this place.

Don't remember much about this place because it was after a booze cruise, but it was good food. The…read moreplace has a very cool and quiet ambiance with candlelit tables everywhere. Mirilla has a smaller list of tapas, but still plenty of options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. We split the patatas bravas, the cheese platter, and the timbal. The patatas bravas were made a little differently - more like potato wedges instead of cubes, but still really good and crispy. They offered a little less dipping sauce but still enough for the potatoes. The wedges were actually much easier to dip than the cubes. The cheese platter was also pretty solid, with a good mixture of creamy cheeses and sharp cheeses. The timbal was easily the best dish. We ordered it because of the pesto and goat cheese in it and although we didn't really taste any pesto, the goat cheese was incredible. Extremely rich and creamy and went great with the vegetables. Would definitely try to come here again, hopefully sober next time.

Our waitress was fun and helpful, and when we asked her opinion on items she made great suggestions. I was curious what to get for the last tapas order and she said she would have the chef surprise us, which did not disappoint. We had the goat cheese and tomato jam with toast, amazing! We also enjoyed the squid and veal meatballs with a lovingly crafted tomato sauce, king prawns with a pink sauce, and a lemon marinated salmon dish. All were great, and we enjoyed some delicious local wine and cocktails. We felt like we ended up friends with the chef and the whole staff by the time we were done and there was a great welcoming feeling surrounding the whole place, where you can tell everything from the food to the staff was filled with love and passion for what they were doing. Total five star place!

An exceptional dining experience. We had dinner here recently while in the city and it proved to be…read moreone of the best of many great ones. Reservations at 20:30 and they are recommended. Stylish and modern interior, with an open kitchen allows you to see all the action in the kitchen while enjoying your meal. We were warmly greeted walking in and seated in the same moments. Service was excellent, the menu concise and well executed. The interior seating, along a wall of windows, either a view of the outside or the kitchen, is comfortable and cozy. After giving the menu a good read over, we started with half a dozen local oysters. They were delicious, fresh and plump, sweet and flavorful. For the entree, the Sea Bass seemed to be in order for our night. Along with some ala carte green beans and a serving of their version of tomato bread. The fish was cooked to perfection, whole fish with head deboned, it was so juicy and flaky and hit all the boxes. One of the best servings of seabass I've had and I have had it numerous ways over the years. The tomato bread baked crisp with a nice tomato spread and grilled, simply delicious. The green beans, haricot verts, were beautifully prepared with a great grilled flavor and texture. A wonderful meal on many levels. Then dessert, the Dali cheesecake, was a work of art, really. A pair of red Dali lips, creamy rich light velvety smooth and delicious. A great end to an excellent meal. Our server went above and beyond making our dining experience there special, the attention to detail and gracious attitude a step above. 5 Stars on all marks - worth a visit, reservations highly recommended. 01063

Ziryab seemed to fit the bill, so we made plans to stop here during our first night in the city. Ziryab is located close to the Gothic Quarter, on side street. It's kind of inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior gives way to a really welcoming space. The restaurant is separated into two main areas, with an earth-tone color scheme that has a rustic, almost cave-like aesthetic. The high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows keep the dining room open and spacious. The tapas menu had a good selection, and we decided on several items: pan con tomate, sweet potato rolls, chicken cannelloni, bacon-wrapped figs, croquettes, falafel, and a charcuterie board. All the tapas were great - my favorites were the chicken cannelloni, pan con tomate, and the charcuterie board. The cannelloni especially was a standout - definitely a unique dish, and the chicken was super flavorful. We opted for dessert, and got the feta whip cheesecake - this was great as well. The combination of tang and sweet was a good finisher to our meal. Service was great - everyone was friendly and our dishes were served at a good pace. Overall, I'm glad I tried out Ziryab - the tapas were delicious and atypical of ones you find elsewhere in Barcelona. I would have no qualms returning here for another meal.

Enjoyed a wonderful family meal at Living Barcelona. We began with a generous glass of sangria…read more Lovely flavor, not too sweet and not too dry and with a good fruit flavor. Andaluz gazpacho with crotouns was our first course. The flavor was perfectly balanced and not too acidic, like sometimes happens with gazpacho. Enjoyed the undertone of the olive oil and the creaminess of the texture...delightful! Next was the Alice salad (spinach, tomato, pine nuts, parmesan, mustard and honey). This was a surprisingly large salad and oh-so delicious!! For our main course we all chose Valencian paella. When they started clearing a spot on the table for the the pan and placed it before us...well just wow!! It was a site to behold, a thing of beauty and it smelled amazing!! We couldn't wait to dig in and we started before I even thought to take a picture. This was by far some of the best paella we have ever had. The rice was cooked to perfection, flavorful and still had some moisture without being soupy or too wet. The shellfish was plentiful, tender and not over-cooked and same thing with the generous large pieces of chicken. The seasoning was perfect and though we tried, we didn't come close to finishing the enormous portion for three. Honestly, the only course we did finish was the soup as the salad was so large we stopped to save room for the paella. We did see some really nice look desserts heading to other tables but as we couldn't fit another grain of rice into our bellies, we had to pass. The food was wonderful and would definitely bring us back for a return visit in the future. We also enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and that we could eat inside or out on the patio. The waitstaff was attentive and always there fulfilling our needs, all without being intrusive. Overall a wonderful experience. Thank you Living Barcelona 1925

It was our last evening in Barcelona and we were walking on the Ramblas and weren't quite sure…read morewhere to eat. A lady who was recruiting potential diners approached us and persuaded us to come in and check out Living Barcelona. We were incentivized with one free drink per person. They are in the back of a building that is on Ramblas so they don't have as much visibility. It was early for dinner (6 or 18:00) so the restaurant was empty. Our server was a professional. You could tell he knew a thing or two about great service. For starters, we decided on the breaded Artichokes and Fried Whitebait "Chanquetes." Both were very good-not greasy and very light. I love artichokes & never had them fried and we had a few Tapas during our trip and this was the only restaurant that had them. For main, we ordered Tuna, Truffle Pappardelle & Pesto Ravioli. Both pasta dishes were excellent with the Truffle slightly heavier than the Pesto. We had to send the Tuna back as request was for rare and it came out warmer than medium. They quickly made it right. If you want your Tuna rare, make sure you emphasize. (Guess rare means medium in this area?) Overall, a nice atmosphere (amount of guests started to pick up by the time we were finishing) with great outside seating and looks like could be fun as the evening progresses.
