It was so good here that I ate here twice in my 2 day visit in Barcelona. To me it's like homecooking. The waitress was very attentive, friendly and smiley. Without asking she gave me an extra lemon for my squid when she saw me squeezing out the last drops of my original one. The prices are not inflated like the other restaurants in the area. The vibe is casual but friendly. The location hidden but accessible. The locals hang here. It really is a hidden gem. The interior is warm and inviting, vintage style which I love. Their menu is only in Spanish with no pictures and the waitresses do not speak English which poses a problem to foreigners but it is an authentic experience. So on my second visit I prepared myself with pictures that I screenshot from the reviews of others and pointed to them to the waitress. So much easier. My first meal was the lunch menu. Reasonable at 14 euros something with entree, main and dessert. The salad was fresh with an amazing dressing. The stew was melt in your mouth. The dessert tasted delicious and not too sweet. On my second visit, for a brunch, I tried the tapas. I ordered the fried squid (soft and bouncy) and the potato tortilla served with slices of bread slathered with the juice of the tomato and sprinkled with just enough salt to enhance the flavour. I particularly loved the tortilla. Goodness I was in heaven. It was perfecto! Fluffy and you could taste the earthy potatoes. The expresso was also nice and strong not watery which some places do. Highly recommened to all! I would give more stars if I could. Must visit before leaving Barcelona.
