Even though the menu is only in Catalan and your food options are limited, the staff is delightfully gruff and friendly no matter what you speak.

Walking along the street and hungry. Stumbled into Sifó. So happy we did. Excellent experience…read more The interior was inviting but I was put off because they only offered the Menu del Dia for €11.90 (pick 2 of 6 items, plus dessert) and I am just not that guy. Well, they made me a fan. Nicolas, our waiter, provided very good service and helped us make decisions. Wine: (not included in the menu) Roura Xarel-lo €14. Went well with the food. Food: * Tracie - Green salad with tomatoes and bleu cheese. She ate 100%. * Dave - Egg & Potato salad with a sweet mustard mayo. Hearty. Delicious and very filling. * Tracie - Chicken breast stuffed with cheese and mushrooms. A large portion. Rich flavors. * Dave - Pork with rice. The rice was cold and had lemon in it. Refreshing. The pork was tender. I ate it all. * Dessert - Pear-Apple Crumble. I added a shot of blueberry Patxaran to go with it while Tracie had coffee. + Music - soothing jazz. + Flatware - medium weight Comas. + Wi-Fi - very fast. + Rear dining room has a tiny garden in the back. - Paper napkins. €40.45 for lunch for 2. Excellent value.

Beautiful view overlooking the city!…read more I came to Mirablau for my birthday! Although my host mom called ahead for window seating once we arrived it wasn't guaranteed and we had to sit by the mirror:( Nonetheless the food was pretty good and the ambiance of the neighborhood was breathtaking. Come here if you want beautiful birthday pics. Later that night they were able to sit us outside on the terrace and the view was breathtaking. You can see Sagrada Familia , Barceloneta, and Montjuic. I would love to visit again, enjoy seating by the window by arriving early, and try other dishes as I was not completely impressed by my salmon .

We were staying in a hotel nearby and just happened to find this place when we look for restaurants…read morewith good reviews. Very glad we came here for dinner! They did take some time to put in the order but service was really quick and food was absolutely delicious! Totally recommend getting that half roasted chicken! Chicken paella was really lovely. It was in a shallow dish with not so much portion size because it was just a little bit of rice and some pieces of chicken in there. Quite a large amount of snap peas though so a good way to get some veggies in! Grilled vegetable side was quite nice. Good charr on the vegetables and they actually tasted nice as well. Got the crispy chicken strips as an appetizer to get some protein in. Chicken was really flavorful and the perfect amount of crispiness, and it didn't feel too unhealthy deep fried or anything. Came with a honey mustard sauce that was beautiful! We actually kept some of that sauce to have with the other food. Barbecue pork ribs were a nice one as well! I'm not usually a fan of pulled ribs because they are usually quite fatty but this one had a good amount of meat as well. Quite soft and tender and actually came off the bone very easily. Biggest highlight of the meal was that Half Roasted Chicken! Such a beautiful item! Chicken with cooked so soft and so perfect. It actually just fell off the bone! I tried to pierce it with a fork and give it to my brother and it literally fell off the bone! Quite a big portion size and very reasonably priced as well. Total value for money here! It did take some time to come out though because they actually roast the chicken after you put in the order. Not beforehand. Overall really recommend this place and I wouldn't mind going again.
