Bar Muy Buenas

First of, we asked for water, the waiter served us tapped water pretending that it was a new fresh bottle which it wasn’t. Second, I ordered some mussels and it came with a long blond hair (we were 3 dark hair), I informed the waiter and he just took my plate and said that he will speak with the kitchen, no apologies. Third, the dishes don’t worth the price. On the other hand the place is beautiful, service was good until when we caught him scamming our water and serving tap.

Edward was manning the entire room in style tonight- I was impressed with his attentiveness and friendliness eventhough he was in charge of the whole place solo. I had a Muy Buenas cava party: started with a class of cava, followed with mussles in cava, and lemon sorbet with. Ava for dessert! Highly recommended 👌

I found this place to be an excellent choice to savour Catalan food. After seeing the good reviews reserved a table for lunch to try it out and was not disappointed. I selected the lunch menu for €17.90 that included a starter, mains, and a desert of your choice from the selections on offer on the day. I was served by Hector and Alex who were both helpful and considerate. The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. It was definitely good value for money and a place I would try again the next time I visit Barcelona.

The food is so good that I had tears in my eyes (especially the octopus and the squid). The restaurant is beautiful and the service is impeccable. Great place!

Classic cuisine done with honesty and love in a storied setting... what could possibly be better? Julian and the other guy were gems.. unfortunately I didn't get the second guy's name until after we finished drinking the fabulous wines and ratafia!

The modern Catalan food is fantastic! We came back the next night and it was just as good with new dishes. Meatballs with cuttlefish, The mackerel toast and the bomba are all dishes you must try. You can skip dessert though. The house vermut is pretty tasty too.

We had a fantastic experience. The food was the best we had in all the holiday in Barcellona. The service fast. Italian waiter had been nice and took time to explain us the dishes and recommended a very good wine. Lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend it. You can’t stop there if you are in Barcellona!

Come here for cocktails! But skip on the food and wine. We came here out of desperation on a Tuesday afternoon. To our delight; we were seated immediately. They have some great looking lunch specials. But we didn’t like everything we saw; so we ordered a la carte: - Grenache - 1/5 very bad wine. - Cod fritters - 2/5. Not much fish, mostly fillings and a bit fishy. - Croquettes - 4/5 very creamy inside - Salad with tuna - 3/5 fresh tomatoes in olive oil, with fairly fresh tuna. Not great but felt very healthy! - Mussels - 3/5 not the best flavor, but mussels were fresh. I think this is mostly a bar (hence the name). Come for the nice drinks with mixers and bitters. But don’t come for the food or wine

First dinner the day I arrived to Barcelona . Lovely little restaurant located en el raval. We were able to walk in and get seated on a Saturday night in less than 15 minutes. I recommend the Los canelones tradicionales de carne and the cheesecake which is made using goat cheese. The goat cheese gives it an extra creaminess that you should not miss out on!

So happy that one of my best friends in Barcelona and former colleague, Paco, brought me and our friend and also dear ex colleague Marta to this real Modernism (Art Nouveau) bar/restaurant. Every time I go to Barcelona this friend always brings back great memories and help me create new ones. Taking me to Muy Buenas was one of those happy forever memorable moments. The restaurant is small, located in Carrer del Carme, one of the most iconic streets of El Raval, next to Las Ramblas. You enter there and not only you get transported in time because all the decor, objects, furniture is from the 1920s but also because the menu tries to recreate the food normal people who used to go to bars to have the menu of the day ate back those days. Simple, delicious, local food. Simplicity is key, and great quality. I had suquet de peix, which is like a fish stew/soup. The only size if you go there from countries like the US is that it would look more like an appetizer like a real dish (it is really small, presented in cute cazueleta or clay dish). It is a simple yet very elegant restaurant, no strident music, no loud anything. Good service, good food. You enter in a piece of history, you are part of Muy Buenas history as well. I was enchanted (not totally full stomach but went elsewhere for more goodies).

Stumbled on this little gem off Ramblas. Definitely not too touristy or crowded and had very good Catalan dishes. The staff was very attentive and helpful. Not much English , but understood very well. Loved the decor and the music, and had amazing cocktails. Would recommend and would definitely go back

We had a great meal here. Chicken with pine nuts and prunes, squid with artichokes, and beef stew with mushrooms. Good wine with hint of Sherry flavor, and creme caramel to finish. Our waitress was great. Average prices.

Coming in at American tourist hours (aka, siesta) ensures you'll just about have the place to yourself. A cozy spot to park yourself for a bit to take a load off and grab a drink.

A Cuban/Moroccan bar is odd enough, but this one works quite well. Portions are rather generous for the price, but the killer offer is the lunch menu. 8 euro gets you starter, main course, drink and coffee, and leaves you satisfied. Helpful service as well.

Barcelona could be the worst city in the world to get a spot in a terrace in a hot summer night. That's what happened yesterday night. We tried to get a table in one of the terraces that are in the raval neighborhood, unsuccessfully. And we end up in Muy Buenas, a bar that plays Latino American music with world kitchen. I am not very fond of the type of music but I have to admit that the place has it charm. It is like an old Spanish tavern, with marble table and wood chairs. We order some rounds of beer and we spent there a couple if hours chatting and laughing. They served us some snacks that I have to say we're not the best, a little old. I really like the place but yesterday I think they charge us one extra round. I have to admit that we didn't keep the empty bottles so when they said 5 we couldn't demonstrate it was 4. Si that why I give them a 3 stars when probably the can get 4 and maybe 5. I had dinner there 6 years ago and it was also pretty good.
