"Back in the day (way back—the restaurant opened in the 19th century), this El Raval restaurant was a favorite hangout for Barcelona’s artistic community, and the old-school bohemian decor has been well preserved: bad lighting, white tablecloths on dark wood, and walls adorned with old portraits and mosaics. The food is honest and delicious—top dishes include the cod fritters and meatballs with cuttlefish and prawns, made all the more delectable with a cheap beer pairing—and highly prized by locals, so come early in the day." - Isabelle Kliger, Gemma Askham

Excellent food and service. The Ox fell off the bone, very tender and delicious. Home-made cannelloni was the best I’ve had. Loved the raspberry sorbet. The servers were very kind and gave wonderful recommendations. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Barcelona.

We stumbled across this place years ago and always return when we are in Barcelona. Delicious traditional Catalan food with many highlights served by a lovely team. It’s a neighborhood gem and the locals support it enthusiastically so make sure you book.

10/10 place to eat. If you’re a tourist, you definitely have to try this place. It has authentic Catalonian food including delicious escargot. It was my first time trying escargot and I’ve been thinking about it ever since I left Spain. Service was amazing as well!

The oxtail stew with chickpeas was amazing! The morsels of meat were very tender, you could easily tear them apart with just a spoon. The sauce was so good, that it is a crime not to mop them up using the bread. In my own experience, the restaurant gave me a feeling of how it feels to eat in a restaurant during the glory days of the gastronomy. One could tell that the servers do their job with joy and pride by the way they interact with their guests.

The cannelloni was one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted. I can't even describe it, it was genuinely a once in a lifetime experience. The cap i pota stew was incredible, you could tell the sauce had been slow cooked for hours and the beef was so fatty and tender. The service was impeccable, and they spoke english well. This has become one of my favourite places to eat in the world. My only regret is that I didn't have a second stomach to eat more!

Some of the best damn food I've ever tasted. We had the escargot, the Spanish spinach, the meatballs and cuttlefish and the oxtail. The meatballs literally melted in our mouths, and the oxtail was so tender a spoon could separate it from the bone. Coupled together with amazing dessert and a lovely cremaet, this place deserves all the love its getting and should honestly be considered for Michelin star status.
