This place is amazing. Our last night and couldn’t have been happier spending it here. Staff are the best food is awesome and the Fred red it pretty darn good. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Redwan Mousline

Staff is adorable and the food is amazing. The sangria is pricey , 15€ for a 75cl bottle is way too expensive but it is delicious. Try the squid and red tuna is was incredibly good!

Krijn Haasnoot

Absolutely loved this place. Delicious food, great wine and very reasonably priced. We especially loved the watermelon gazpacho , it was brilliant!

Luna K

I really like potato (6 euro) with sauce , olivesand tomato bread . As a coctail(5 euro), I prefered mojito was super fresh. Squid (9euro)was delicious but small porsion. Generally it is nice place.

Covi Sandes

It was packed so we decided to have dinner at the bar . Staff were very nice and food was good. It was my birthday and they even brought me some tiramisu with candels to blow. Very nice dinner :)

Tasos Bobonis

The girls very gentle and speak very good English. Food superb but little slows. Tuna tartare and tuna burger delicious, Salomon salad , octopus and squib fantastic! Sangria and mochito good. .

Niklas Kamateros

Everything has really great ingredients, but it lacks flavour. Great effort but with a little more thought behind the dishes would make the food great. Great staff and the ambience is wonderful.

Jay Ruether

Lovely place with cozy atmosphere . Patata brava were absolutely the best in town ! Grilled squid was divine... and the homemade cheesecake with dulce the leche on top was to die for

Jennie Caszo

Group of 8, staff very helpful, food excellent. Went with waitress recommendations & everything was amazing. Great little place highly rated on here & totally lived up to expectations. €25ea A*

Aleksandra Garbacz

Have patience - service is slow as a snail, but food compensates it all: I love their tuna tartare with a dash of beetroot , fried octopus with topinambour and bravas . And they accept dogs too!

Laura Verstraeten

Went for a date here on our last night in Barcelona & we loved it!! Food was amazing - Best tuna tartare I've ever had. Cocktails were only so-so though & fairly pricey , have a glass of wine instead!

Amalina Davis

Lovely ambiance, perfect for dates. Patatas bravas were a delight. Just make sure to book in advance or you'll end up on the bar (learnt my lesson after the first time)!

John Lennox

Great ambiance and friendly helpful staff - had many tapas including octopus paired with cava . Some of the finest tapas you'll find in Barcelona- highly recommend!

Jackson Gabbard

This was probably the best combination of service, environment, food quality, drink quality, and price of any place we visited in Barcelona. Lunch here was a highlight of the trip.

Gabby Plata

Lucky find! We started with patatas and croquetas . The second we took a bite, we knew lunch was going to be delicious. El Menu del Día was a great deal and the women who run the place are badass!

Hristiyana Stoyanova

One of the best place for dinner in Barcelona, nice and fast service . You need to make a reservation first. Foie gras micuit is perfect.

Isa S.

Top restaurant , we had really good food over here, the atmosphere is also great, you can better make a reservation , we were lucky to have a free table for 2 but the rest was all book already.

Thomas van Zuijlen

This is the one you're looking for: Most relaxed and atmospheric bar for miles around, with nice staff - happily out of place next to the late-night supermarkets and knick knack stores on that street.

Charly P

One of the top restaurant in bcn. Service amazing. They have lunch menu for 14.5e and it changes every single day... Love this place.

Jens Löber

One of my top food spots in Barcelona. Perfect for tapas or breakfast . Try the squid , the tuna burger or the pastrami .

Max Ambrozy

Nice resto in el Born that serves from Breakfast to dinner - with nice ambience and kind waitresses . Recommended for a weekend brunch or an afternoon date with a glass of something

Chinoiseries

Great place for breakfast , lunch and dinner . 1920s vibe. Many vegetarian options on the menu. Booking a reservation for dinner is recommended.

Zelda Ber

Simple, best service in Barcelona. I am a good geek and u will get the best service! I recommend you to do a reservation ! And the tuna tartar !

Jennifer Ruiz

With an environment inspired by the movie "Elsa y Fred", it has a great atmosphere , wine , croquetas de ceps, and salmon sashimi , but what I loved the most were the Bravas and the duck ham salad !

Christine Hayner

Phenomenal food and ambience- go here! Patatas bravas best we had and the octopus was soft as butter- truly drool worthy, and the squid were incredible too!

Julia Oso

A cozy little place with a lot of personality and great food! Loved everything we had and we tried pretty much 1/3 of the menu. Even the bottled sangria didn't disappoint.

Matteo Penzo

Amazing food and atmosphere. Avoid the terrible sangria and the low quality wines and go for a cold beer .

Sinem Saniye

Just had brunch here, it was amazing. Delicious food, fast service , the waitress was very friendly and accommodating, and the list of unsweetened iced tea was IMPRESSIVE! Never seen anything like it.

Ralf Linka

what an amazing find. super friendly service and tapas to die for. patatas bravas , beetroot carpaccio , squid and beef tartare taco were amazing!

Dominic Plaza

Cozy place inspired by Elsa & Fred movie . The breakfast was great. Looking forward to try evening menu.

Bertrand Bruandet

Nice place. The waitresses are very friendly , the food is good and well presented. Get the benedict egg on the weekend.

Marcos A

Dishes are hit or miss, tartar & pastrami sandwich are great. Booking is mandatory, packed & noisy ambiance, no space whatsoever. Lovely personnel, tips are encouraged. Mostly for tourists .

Reka Szabados

Nice staff , amazing food. The grilled octopus was next level, but make a reservation if you want a place in the evening. Perfect for dates

Polina Shepetkova

Perfect place for breakfast ! Good prices, quite street, friendly staff , nice atmosphere, good menu for breakfasts ! Would give 5/5 for eggs florentine ! Enjoy ;)

Wilson Favre-Delerue

Pretty interior design and delicious classic and modern tapas to boot. El Borne neighbourhood gem.

Must-go place if you want to try good tapas . Definitely the best I’ve had in Barcelona!

Just had breakfast here. Excellent food, good service , great price! Scrambled eggs w/ Iberia ham on toast , fresh squeezed OJ and coffee for 2 people came to €20

Anette Nørgaard

Good service , really, really good tapas and nice wine . Cozy atmosphere - eat with the locals ; not too many tourists .

Wenyan Zhang

Second time here, cozy place for coffee and dessert ! But I came for dinner . This time the pimientos del padrón are nor spice -_-, except this, all good.

Melissa Yee

Fresh squeezed OJ and that bacon Benedict! Single egg , served with sprouts. So good & the presentation is gorgeous.

Jonah

Squid is not particularly my favorite meal but the atmosphere is very pleasant and the staff is very nice. Definitely a cute place for a romantic date night .

John E

Great gin & tonic list. Incredible tapas . Really great service. Highly recommend!!

The things we ordered was original and delicious, but be careful, just a friendly reminder, if you are hungry, this might not be the place for you!

Ondrej Slintak

Truly a lovely place. Everytime I return to Barcelona I go here. I’ve tried most of the dishes and everything was excellent.

jock saloo

Exceptional service: welcoming and engaging. Wonderful tapas ; tuna tartar was amazing.

Taylor Vereen

Love the service, the servers were so nice! Very crowded but the place was so good. Patatas Bravas were tasty and the house wine was too.

Stephen Gee

The best place in Barcelona we found in 10 days trouble is difficult to get a table because it's so popular cracking place if you get chance eat there.

André Allard

Tuna tartare is delicious. Really nice staff and atmosphere.

Sarra Ben Neji

The tapas are great and they have an amazing tiramisu ! They also stay open later than most restaurants . Highly recommend this one !

Amazing and unique. All European churches are not the same, this is the exception. Buy tickets online or book a skip-the-line tour. You need a guide or audio tour to truly understand the symbolism. - Robert Paluszak
