Picolabis is a Tapas bar in Barcelona, I called in here to spend my first night in the Catalan capital, hoping to get something to eat however I left disappointed and hungry.
This place is in a decent location, just off a street with lots of shops, and next to a Starbucks however to get in there is a very poor small ramp or steps, the premier is quite poor and dangerous in my opinion.
When I entered the building, it had a poor feel to it especially inside, it seemed the only atmosphere it had, was outside and with it being late in the evening, I didn't want to spend my evening meal outside in the pitch black and slight cold.
I asked the waiter about the gluten free selection, or sans gluten in Spanish, I did originally struggle to get through and other than Squid and Salad, he seemed unable to offer me anything. The waiter barely understood english, and he did seem to try his best but he simply lacked knowledge on what I could eat, the menu was also hard to understand and was mainly just pictures which I didn't like either, in the end I decided to walk out so sadly due to the selection and service received and other factors mentioned, I feel Piscolabis deserves a single one star. read more
