Bistrot Levante

Generous portions, love that you can get half orders to try more things. Highlights: the orange juice, the mackerel, the fattoush, and the shakshuka. Melanie was lovely and super attentive!

Absolutely killer brunch or lunch spot. Everything we had was out of this world. Highly recommend the shakshuka and the fatoush salad. We ordered both with some of their pita bread and it was plenty of food and absolutely divine.

I visited Bistrot Levante in January 2025 and revisited earlier today - after going to restaurants all across Barcelona, this is still the best one. Although the dishes have changed, they were still exemplary. Perfectly spiced and sauced - all interesting and unique in their own right. We ordered the fattoush salad, the grilled cauliflower, and the roast lamb. Service was unhurried and friendly. Located in the heart of the old city, the small and intimate square, Placeta de Manual Ribe, the Bistrot seems to always have live music in the background and feels nestled away in the bustle of the Gotic.

Food, amazing. Staff, so kind and attentive. Atmosphere, adorable little square with live, rotating buskers and setting an amazing vibe. Bonus: cute dogs. Went here for date night and would absolutely return.

A cool concept of casual Middle Eastern food, natural wine, and chill vibes. We came here for brunch so the place was quite empty (yet, the other day it seemed quite full during dinner so reservations would never hurt). The staff was incredibly welcoming, casual, and friendly. We indeed enjoyed our communication. The food we had was a bit disappointing. Some dishes were incredibly small and almost all lacked flavor. Yet, the visuals were amazing: presentation was sophisticated with attention to details.

It was a coincidence that I ended up at this place, a lucky one! Melanie and Olivia (I hope I’m spelling your names correctly) were the warmest souls, and the food I had was out of this world! Just imagine the smell of freshly baked challah with eggplant, hummus, and tzatziki dips. Yes! Exactly! Just visit them—you’ll thank me in spirit!

One of My Favorite Spots for Any Meal in Barcelona! This charming little plaza has quickly become my favorite spot in Barcelona, whether it’s for brunch, lunch, or dinner. It’s the perfect place to make your go-to hangout . The food here is outstanding – from portion sizes to presentation and taste, everything is spot-on. The dishes feel fresh and healthy, and I especially love that they use sumac in some of their recipes. It adds such a unique flavor! If I could make one suggestion, it would be to add gluten-free bread options, but honestly, the bread they serve didn’t bother me at all. Another bonus: if you’re in the mood for tea, there’s a wonderful tea shop called Caj Chai just across the plaza. They offer a variety of unique teas, making it a perfect follow-up to your meal. Take your time here, enjoy a relaxed brunch in the plaza, and then stroll through the Gothic Quarter. We tried the Bocadillo de Cordero Asado, Shawarma de Cordero, Albondigas de Cordero, and the tasting platter – all were perfect. Prices are fair, especially for the quality and the experience. Highly recommend!

What a place! We had a reservation at 19:00, but we were done walking around the city earlier and they took us in. Which we appreciated. The food was delish, the presentation of it was nice too, the portions were enough for two people. The vermouth and pita were excellent.

5/5 stars. Amazing dinner. You should definitely try to go. Ate outside in the courtyard which was lively but not to busy. Had the recommended orange wine, the appetizer with the dips and four different entrees all were delicious. I'll be back the next time I'm in town!

Wonderful, classic Mediterranean dishes done outstandingly. One of my favorite meals we had in Spain. Fresh and flavorful. English speaking waiters (if needed). We sat outside in a lovely corridor area. The feta dip was our favorite! The pita bread alone is heavenly.

The food here is delicious, however, if you are in search for a good ambiance, I recommend looking else where. The tables are extremely small and a bit uncomfortable, the food came out at different times, and we weren't given any choice when we asked for a bottle of wine. Additionally, the wines are all natural and we were not a fan of the bottle given to us. The portion sizes of the "mains" were on the smaller side, I think it would be better to order them tapas style. The desserts were very tasty and good sized portions

We absolutely loved this place! We walked in because we saw how simple yet elegant it was. We had lunch and it could not have been any fresher. They use locally sourced products and you can tell the kitchen deeply enjoys what they do. The dishes are beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. We had the challah bread and the avocado hummus. The challah bread was FIRE and the avocado hummus was LITTY AF. The pita bread that they put out was BOMBASTIC. The service, as typical of Spain, was attentive yet unobtrusive. She was very kind and we had a pleasant conversation when her duties permitted. We wholeheartedly recommend Levante Bistro to anyone in the mood to have a relaxed meal with delicious food and a boho atmosphere in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter.

Excellent food, with cute outdoor and indoor seating. Favorite was the meatballs. Came in a delicious sauce thick with fresh tomatoes, peppers and onions. Everything else was fresh and good too. Prices also very reasonable. My second time eating here. Highly recommend.

What an AMAZING experience we had visiting Levante in Barcelona, Spain! We stumbled upon this restaurant while in Spain AND we were so glad that we took the time to stop and enjoy it! Our server was so engaging, kind and helpful! The food was OUTSTANDING ... some of the best we had in Barcelona and the local wine was OUT OF THIS WORLD good! We just wished we had discovered it earlier in our trip so we could have gone more than once. We will definitely go back when we return to Spain!

Stumbled upon this amazing place! Simply wow. I hope to be back soon. Thank you Bistro Levante

Lovely restaurant with an excellent and interesting take on middle eastern cuisine. Jacobo the host is extremely warm and has a keen sense of taste when it comes to wine pairing. It's a tiny little gem in a tiny little section of El Call, the ancient Jewish Quarter of Barri Gotic.

A group of six of us ate here today and EVERYTHING was truly wonderful. So glad we stopped here!!!
