The servers were very kind, professional and told us how to eat the dishes (which I great appreciated as my brain was thinking: is this finger food? One bite or two? ) To be honest, while it was cool to see all the different cooking stations, I was underwhelmed by the decor and ambiance (hence the 4 instead of 5 stars). It was too brightly lit at 9 pm and for the money we were spending, it didn't feel as elegant/refined as I would have liked (compared to restaurants of a similar ranking). All that said: great food. Would totally eat here again.

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.

Para el precio que cobran, es totalmente inaceptable y está sobrevalorado. También pedimos los buñuelos de bacalao: estaban "ok", pero desinflados y sin una presentación cuidada, nada especial. El servicio tampoco ayudó. Cuando comenté que la paella no tenía sabor, la respuesta del personal fue absurda, diciendo que las gambas tienen más sabor que los calamares, lo cual no tiene sentido y no justifica en absoluto la falta de sabor del plato. En general, una experiencia muy decepcionante. No lo recomiendo.

We were staying right next to Lonja de Tapas and had been wanting to try it for a bit and finally…read moregot the chance to give them a go. We hadn't had cava sangria so we tried it and it was pretty good. Essentially a sparkling white sangria with oranges, lemon, and apple slices. It was nice and refreshing and a great accoutrement to dinner. Their spinach and goat cheese croquettes were delicious. Light, crispy panko breading and a hot, cheesy, spinachy interior. Their patatas bravas were different from most of the ones we've had as they had more of a kick to them than usual and a garlicky aioli-a welcome surprise IMO. One of the chicken fingers seemed undercooked but overall they were crisp, hot and served with a yummy curry aioli. The grilled vegetables were your standard aubergine (eggplant), tomato, asparagus, onion, carrots and romesco sauce, but certainly grilled to perfection. All in all a nice experience with good tapas. Lots of space to dine and is actually a lot bigger inside then you'd expect. I'd come back again.

Everything was impressive, for such a central area, and things came out so quickly too, so after walking a ton all day, this is quite appreciated.
