    Chicken Paella
    Marlenea J.

    Long story short, avoid this place. Service - we picked the restaurant after reading previous reviews believing that we would have a view of the Sagrada Familia and that the food was good. After walking over there we were disappointed to find that there was only one table that offered that view and it was terribly located in the flow of sidewalk traffic. However, we sat outside anyway. The tables were dirty and it took several minutes before the waiter even addressed us despite servicing the other two tables of people who were also outside. In fact, I had to give him a look as he walked past us for the fourth time to get him to finally come over and address us. Mind you, this was a Friday in March at 1pm and the restaurant was not even close to being busy. Ambiance - the restaurant appears to cater to large, disrespectful and drunk groups. There was a group of loud women seated not far from us when we arrived and, after they left, they were replaced with a group of loud disrespectful men. I had the unfortunate experience of seeing more of one of their patrons than I wanted to. This particular man was dressed in a skirt and wore no underwear. I was purposely shown all of his private parts while we were sitting outside. In addition, while in the ladies restroom one of these guys walked in to use it despite there being a men's restroom. All of this is full view of the manager who did nothing to address the situation. This was our experience in the span of time we spent there. Food - we started with sparkling water. The glass I was given was clearly dirty from food residue. This should have been our first clue that this was not going to be a good experience. I ordered the chicken paella and it was the worst that I have ever had. The rice had inconsistent texture and the dish, overall had no flavor. My husband ordered the chicken fettuccine and he said it was decent. The food was not expensive but I didn't find value in it beyond the obvious nutritional benefits. Needless to say, while I have some wild stories to share with our friends about this place we will never eat there again.

    Grilled vegetables platter

    We almost didn't eat here but we are glad we did. It was really good and better than I expected for such a touristy area. I had read some bad reviews and we almost left the restaurant but decided to give it a try. The sangria was delicious, we ordered the grilled vegetables platter, the ham croquettes, the grilled prawns, the tomato and feta salad, and the Pedrone peppers. Everything was delicious. We had good service and were very pleased.

    Rude waitress who begged me and my friend to partronize this place and after being seated for 15 minutes we were told we had to change tables because 3 people came to the restaurant with no reservation stating they were a party of 8 with 5 folks missing and the waitress told us we had to give up the table. When I explained that we did not want to change tables, the waitress said we had to. We then left and went to a lovely restaurant a few feet away called Divan and had a delicious meal. The staff at Villa Caprice needs sensitivity training. The waitress was extremely rude and should not be in the service industry.

    This was back in December 2021 but I arrived in Barcelona after a very long flight from NYC and some mishaps. I was walking the streets around La Sagrada Familia to discover this place with a large and beautiful plant-i-ful ambiance. The host was very kind and accommodating. After I ordered my food, the owner came to my table and offered to take a picture of my sangria but also give me extra tapas on the house. The restaurant offers delicious drinks, food, and customer service. A must go if you are in Barcelona. I still think of this place even after 8 months later!

This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

For an early dinner by Spanish time, we started with the croquettes. Crip and wonderful. Then the tenderloin which was taste as well, though we should have a sales what is on the top. It seemed like mostly a flavored fat. The tomato with toast was lovely. Soaked with natural tomato juice. The skewered prawns were the best. Get them. And we ended with coconut pudding. It was like a flan with a coconut base. All together fun and delicious!

Today they had one small table on the sidewalk and the rest indoor including limited bar seating. This is a spot clearly for locals as evidenced by the sheer number of people speaking Catalán around me. It's fabulous in every way- service, ambiance, food and what will be most surprising for Americans, price. For less than $20 I had tuna tartar (more like a guacamole with fresh tuna), beef short ribs, wine, coffee, water and the perfectly small sized piece of cake (tarta de Santiago) from the menu of the day Everything was amazing, and while I wasn't able to do so myself, many people left with leftovers. Come, enjoy and just be grateful that places like this still exist in the world!

That was probably a good idea because after we were seated a majority of the tables did fill up. Lunch included bread, a drink of choice, appetizer, entree, and dessert for 18.90 euros. The service was very good and the courses flowed nicely. Food was tasty and had a very homey, comforting feel. I felt the dessert was very small but other than that everything was great. A good place for lunch or a drink if you are in the L'Eixample neighborhood!

    Love coming to this spot whenever I'm in Spain and by the Sagrada Família. I've come twice now,…read moreonce in 2023 and once in 2025 and both times were a hit. Their tapas are super yummy and I love that they have a display case that shows you a good variety of what you can get. I always recommend the abondigas (there a dark green color from the spinach, but really yummy I promise). I also love the grilled octopus (pulpo) and the seafood paella, which takes a while to cook so order it in advance. The drinks and coffee are always a hit, but I love that it's so close (within walking distance) from the Sagrada Família, so I always make an effort to come here after visiting the landmark. Service has always been great. I have usually been served by the Dark Haired Bartender (ask him about his sister in Utah if you visit). Everyone speaks English and is pretty friendly. It's a smaller spot on one side with bar seating and some tables inside and outside, but they have a more restaurant style sit down place that's a couple stores down so you can have the best of both worlds. I usually opt for the bar seating to people watch and chat with the bartenders.
