Casa Leopoldo

You need to try this place! There are no words for their hospitality, kindness, so refreshing. There is space for privacy, for a good chat with the amazing staff. I spent my birthday dinner here. Could not have had a better experience! The food is so warm, kind to your stomach. So delightful! Please order a Caipiroska and the croquetas! Much love from Portugal!

Absolutely amazing food and service. The best food we enjoyed in Barcelona. Our waiter was absolutely amazing and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend and will be back if we are ever in Barcelona.

From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly. They accommodated 9 of us no problem and we chose to sit where the music was. The musicians asked where we were from and started signing hits from our country. It was so thoughtful and so fun, though not necessary. We just enjoyed listening to them. The food was fantastic. We ordered multiple different tapas to share as a table and each one was delicious!!! We went back the next night as well!!!

Really good Service. The People are very friendly and Kind and they care about how you feel. The food was lovely from every perspective and it didnt take too long to be prepared. The drinks were wonderful especially the Rosé Wine. Perfect place to enjoy your dinner.

Food and service were superb. It became a bit warm inside the restaurant as the evening progressed, otherwise it was perfect.

Walked into this restaurant on a whim and without any reservation, was greeted and seated by a friendly staff. I loved my drink, starters, food and dessert. Slightly on the expensive side and possibly a great place for cozy dinner dates but I had a fabulous time nevertheless. Absolute tops in the area where it is located.

Fantastic evening at Casa Leopoldo! Last night was our first time at the restaurant and we will most definitely be back. One of the best dinners we’ve had in Barcelona. The food was amazing, the service was great and the ambiance was very charming. We might have just found our new favorite place!

Absolutely loved dining at Casa Leopoldo! The restaurant is beautiful and full of history. The staff were so friendly and personable. The chef even came by and said hello which I always appreciate. Very reasonable prices for how incredible the food is, and we loved the paella!

The buttata salad was very good and so were. Really good steak , very juicy . My husband had a large piece of cod and he was able to substitute his side dish. I really enjoyed the mussels. A large portion and very tasty!

Loved it! One of my favorite experiences this last time in Barcelona. I have this friend and former colleague who loves history and every time I go there prepares a gastro-tour in the Gothic quarter for me. This time the chosen place was one of those historic restaurants that have been there since forever and was the meeting point of an interesting crowd of painters, writers and artists of all kinds. It is very cool so see the walls adorned not only with bullfighters from other era, but also with pictures of the 'intellectual Catalan and Spaniard celebrities'. You feel transported to other slow motion times where plots were concocted at the same time that the palates were placated with delicious food! My friend and I shared fantastic crispy calamari, got awesome bread (really really great), and shared also a soupy rice with veggies and wild mushrooms with sausage. Do not confuse this type of rice with paella. It has a less sexy look but differently delicious. Very earthy, rice al dente, slowly cooked and very simple. For desert we also shared the tostada with rum. And by rum I mean the whole bottle of rum to soak the sweet bread on! Great service and great atmosphere. Very recommendable.

Perhaps it was the night, perhaps we ordered wrong. But this was our worst meal in a week and 20+ restaurants/bars in Barcelona, especially when considering cost vs. value. I had seen very good reviews, but I just didn't think it was good. We had a meat dish (tough, small), fried "prawns" (fried with the shell on so you got none of the fry, teensy tiny after taking the shell off) and oysters (two, very fishy tasting rather than fresh). When returning to Barcelona I would go out of my way to purposefully NOT return here.

Where do I start? I want to be fair to my friends and to the restaurant. It is a very old fashioned restaurant. The waiters wear uniforms, and my grandmother would have enjoyed that attention. My first big issue was that our first waiter came and asked us if we were ready to order every 5 minutes. They very clearly wanted to turn the table. In a high caliber place, I find this kind of pressure distasteful. The wine was fine. We got a number of dishes. None of them were great. They were fine, but not anything to write home about. Vegan tribe, this is a a no. Celiac tribe, no. I have regrets, myself. This place caters to a specific crowd. And we are not that crowd.

I had a wonderful meal at Casa Leopoldo. Everything was cooked to perfection and the sommelier provided us with an excellent wine choice to pair with our meal.

Leopoldo is a Barcelona classic, with simple, unadorned, honest food. Its dominant decorative theme is bullfighting which is delightfully anachronistic and culturally quirky - it would be more at home in Seville. But the food is very, very, very good indeed. The fish is fantastically fresh - for example, recently I had deep-fried baby red mullets which you would just eat whole, and they were insanely good - and the service is very friendly. It's always busy here. You can't go wrong with Leopoldo. Highly recommended.
