I had a tasty four seasons pizza and a half bottle of house red, all for the bargain price of less than 15 dollars US including tip. The meal was finished of with a complementary limoncello.

Food. Service. Ambiance. Yes. Yes. Yes…read more The first night we went without a reservation but they managed to accommodate us in a lovely private room. That was a great start to a delicious meal that everyone enjoyed. I wish I could have tried all the appetizers. In hindsight, this might be the way to go! The food and service were so on point that our group went back a second time (with a reservation) in our four days in Barcelona. This time we ordered the epic Chocolate Bonsai dessert to cap the meal. It had a satisfying amount of chocolate with textures and tastes that leave you wanting more. I shared this dessert... and wish I didn't The noise level was high but otherwise this one scores high on every aspect of the dining experience!

Everything is beautifully presented and they handled our large group with ease. Definitely make a reservation, especially if you've got a large group. They may not have a Michelin star, but they're as good as or better than any place I've been that has one. If you're in the main part of Barcelona, it can be a trek out here (it is SO worth it), but if you're staying by the convention center and its nearby shopping mall, it is an easy walk and I haven't found anything else in the area that comes close.

If you answered Si to all of the above, look no further then Porta Gaig for your next culinary treat. First off, let's face the fact that there aren't a whole lot of options here at the airport lounge. Sure, you could go the fast food route and grab a hamburger and fries, or something, but if you have a little time until your next flight, I'd say come here to steal one last moment of tranquility. First off, know that this is an offshoot of Restaurant Gaig, an illustrious Michelin-rated restaurant in the center of Barcelona led by Carles Gaig. While I wouldn't expect food quality to be as good as the original, it is comforting to know that you can eat a meal made by people passionate about fine dining here at the airport. Service is classy: the waiters wear suits, and for the most part treat customers like nobility. The menu contains a wealth of Catalonian specialties. There's a fixed price course, and also the option to order a la carte. I used this opportunity to pick out a number of Spanish specialities that I'd missed out on during my trip here, which included: -Suckling Pig, which was roasted perfectly, with a layer of fat and crisp skin, in a glaze that included strawberries and green onions -Deconstructed Catalonian Creme, which was a modern take on the traditional dessert that was deliciously frothy, with a pool of tart lemon juice on the bottom and delicate ice cream in the center The meal obviously cost more than fast food, but I was glad with my choice to eat here. This is your last chance to grab some fine, authentic Spanish food before leaving. Don't miss it!
