The sweet potato and cheese may seem as a side for the chestnut cream, but they use some kind of blue cheese, its slight stinginess surprisingly compensates sweetness of the potato very well. The dishes containing cured meat may lean toward the salty side for some folks. I do recommend go with Cava for the included drink. The bubbly young wine will balance it off. As an American who is more used to pastas sunk in a pool of heavy sauce, the Fideua is almost a reset, you can taste the cuttlefish and the faint sweetness coming from the pasta. Toward the end, I had no room for any desert and went with an espresso instead. The service is very attentive. The manager's English is sufficient but I think he is not very confident, you could tell he is trying very carefully to pick the right words even may come off a little apologetic, I find it kinda cute.

My aunt and uncle found this place on their last trip (their hotel was nearby) and then my parents had also went. Sangria is tasty, we ended up buying bottles of local wine because why not :) Food wise, we had the jamon iberico, paella, salads, veal + clams, grilled shrimp, garlic shrimp, padron peppers, and bread (they give you garlic and tomatoes here for yo my to do yourself). The first time we came it was really busy so service was a little slower so the manager gave us a free potato salad tapa which was also delicious. Some of the wait staff speak more English than others, but it was easy enough to communicate and the food was delicious (bathroom is also clean)!

It was a nice morning so I decided to walk the 2.8 km to get there. Place has outdoor seating and small inside seating. I was warmly greeted upon entering. I ask the person for food suggestions and decided to order their jabugo (jamon iberico) sandwich (7.50 euros), patatas bravas (6.00 euros), and mushroom croquettes (9 euros). Sandwich came out first and was delicious. Bread had a soft crunch to it and the filling was tasty. Potatoes and croquettes came out later and were nice and hot. Both hit the spot. I also received a fried pork belly dish which was crispy and tasty too. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Place is so cozy. I enjoyed my visit.

La Mestressa is such a great vibe and one of the defining experiences from my trip to Barcelona!…read moreHere are a few highlights: 1. The neighborhood - I stayed at the AC Hotel Sants while visiting Barcelona. The Barcelona Sants train station was adjacent to the hotel, and the property was in a walkable neighborhood surrounded by restaurants, convenience stores, and other businesses. There was also a deceptively nondescript alley right next to the hotel that I didn't explore right away. Turns out, that alley leads to a vibrant, hidden plaza (Plaça d'Osca) with restaurants and shops, where locals in the Sants neighborhood hang out. This is also where La Mestressa is located. 2. The food and drinks - I got dinner with two friends at La Mestressa one evening. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, a bottle of wine, and a wide selection of tapas, croquettes, and a couple main dishes. My personal favorites from the meal were the sangria, patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with sauce), octopus, and the salmon salad (not pictured). Each of those dishes were well-seasoned, had great textural contrast, and provided either familiar comfort (patatas bravas and octopus) or a completely new flavor experience (salmon salad). The sangria was light and refreshing. 3. The service - Our server was bilingual and provided satisfactory service. She was warm. The service was well-paced, and she attended to all of our needs as a group. 4. The ambience - As I previously mentioned, both Plaça d'Osca and La Mestressa were a whole vibe. If the terms "off the beaten path," "honeycomb hideout," "in the cut," or "rural retreat" mean anything to you, this area similarly provides a nice place to "retreat" and immerse yourself in a local neighborhood right in the heart of Spain's second largest city. It's the perfect place to drink wine and sangria and while away your evening. :)

Food: Chistorra Sausage & Olives They give you olives & chistora sausages as a starter. The sausage was really juicy and flavorful~ Ajoarriero Cod with Poached Egg I loved this dish! The egg was perfectly poached and the fish was amazingly cooked. Flavors were on point! Grilled artichokes, foie and Iberian ham I'm not a big foie fan so I kinda stayed away from it. BUT! I can tell you that the artichokes were nicely grilled (not salty at all). The Iberian ham was a bit hard to eat because it took me a while to chew it and swallow. It just didn't go down well I think. Cured ham and loin of Iberian acorn-fed pork This selection of meats was better than the Iberian ham in the foie dish (look below). Very nice and generous portions too~ Grilled white asparagus, truffled mayonnaise and Idiazábal cheese Probably...the best white asparagus I've ever had. It was sooo good that we ordered another right after we finished it. Explosive. Wild Mushrooms with Farm Egg I think a dish that combines mushrooms and eggs has been becoming more and more popular lately, and I can see why~ It's so yummy! The yolk was runny and the mushrooms were nice and chewy (not like those soft, floppy ones). Cream cheese soufflé with raspberry ice cream Our waitress recommended this dessert and it's a better dessert than the lemon sorbet. I just liked looking at the souffle because it seemed so perfectly..."poofed." Then I took a bite, and then continued to clean the entire bowl. The raspberry ice cream also made the soufflé even more delicious. Our Lemon Sorbet Decent dessert, although I liked the soufflé more. But the sorbet was still pretty refreshing.
