When in Europe eat some Italian food, as you are close enough that someone is doing it right. It also breaks up the Spanish tapas for a minute. I made reservations via email in advance prior to my trip. They responded quickly and seamed happy to take them, as they do book up. It was totally worth it, as the Raviolo with mushroom, truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage was one of the best things we ate on our entire trip. Don't miss out on it. Papas Bravas - nicely served with two dipping sauces, one a little spicy, and the other a garlic sauce. Meatballs with Mozzarella and Tomato Sauce. This was served almost as a soup, with bread to dip in the sauce, or in our case we balanced the meatballs, cheese, and sauce on it. Cacio e Pepe - nice and cheesy served with fresh pappardelle. I liked the thicker noodles to soak up the tasty sauce. I noticed the table fighting over sharing this one, which is always a good sign. Carbonara - definitely made correctly here with egg yolk, if you are fan of classic carbonara, you'll like theirs. Served with thick fresh spaghetti noodles. Raviolo with Mushroom, Truffle, Parmesan, cream, and sausage. You can put this dish right next to anything you will eat in Spain (including those having Michelin stars) and it will hold its own. It's that good. Please do not miss this dish. If I'm ever back in Barcelona, I will return for this dish and to try other things on the menu.

Roast beef sandwich had little meat and the bread was really crusty.. It looked big but there were only a couple thin layers of meat. Fried patats were cold but the garlic herb aioli was the star. It was so good we used it as salad dressing. Crudo salad was a disappointment as the dressing was way too bland. Thus, we used the aioli. Jamon Risotto was good. It had alot of meat and the risotto was cooked well. The bloody mary was also a disappointment as there was no savory spicy at all. Think sweet tomato juice.

Pancakes are delicious! As well as the potatoes and hummus spread that comes with the egg breakfast.read more

A good visit It was…read moreour first full day in Barcelona, taking our holiday in Spain this year. Walking down Gaudi Ave we spotted this descriptive restaurant name and decided to stop in for lunch. Sure enough, they offer crepes, both sweet and savory, plus other things. Lots of choices, it was difficult to pick just one. Ultimately I settled on a savory crepe with an egg, 'chorizo", and tomato. It wasn't long and the crepe was ready, large and folded into a square, the egg staring back in the middle. It was a good crepe and a good lunch, a generous number of chorizo slices. Our server took good care of us, providing us English menus and doing all the expected actions. Liked the place, it all looked clean and organized.

If you're in Barcelona and love bakeries, Forn Puiggròs is an absolute must…read more Their pastries are perfection, the mini croissants rellenos de crema pastelera are my weakness. They're light, buttery, and filled with just the right amount of cream, truly irresistible. And if you're a chocolate lover, their chocolate version is equally divine (you might just need to get both, trust me). But my absolute favorite treat here is the pan dulce con manzana. The buttery layers, the delicate apple slices caramelized just right, and the subtle sweetness make it the perfect pastry. Pair it with a strong espresso and you've got the ideal way to start your morning in Barcelona. The best part? You don't have to stop at breakfast. I always recommend grabbing one of their fresh bocadillos en pan casero to enjoy later in the day, or picking up one of their panes artesanos to savor at home, simple, rustic, and delicious even on their own. Forn Puiggròs isn't just a bakery, it's a ritual. Go in the morning, enjoy something sweet with your coffee, and leave with bread that will make the rest of your day even better.

Ordered quite a few tapas dishes; everything was unique and delicious, but the fried artichokes were really good and not like anything I've had before! They make their sangria with red wine or cava; we chose the red wine option, and I can't stop thinking about how refreshing this was to drink. Though they offered paella, we came in strictly for the tapas, so we didn't order a paella dish. The waitstaff were very attentive, and at one point after a rowdy group came in, they apologized for the noise, which we didn't take offense to at all. I'd recommend Encercle for anybody looking for a good tapas restaurant in the Eixample area!
