The Food was super good, the service was amazing even though they don’t really speak a lot English. The prices are really low, compared to the average in Barcelona.

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.

This restaurant has a lot going for it, but it didn’t quite hit the mark. The ambiance is sleek, with dim lighting and modern decor that screams date night. The staff was polite, though they seemed a bit frazzled when the place filled up. I appreciated the menu’s variety—there was something for every palate. However, the food was a letdown. My dish was well-cooked but lacked any real zest, and my friend’s meal was similarly uninspired. The drinks were a highlight, crafted with care, but the meal itself felt like it was missing soul. Service slowed down as the night went on, which was frustrating. It’s not a bad place, but it needs a bit more to stand out. I might try it again, but no rush.

Found this place on TripAdvisor hoping to avoid tourist trap restaurants in Barcelona. The place has a really quirky feel and is decorated with vintage electronic equipment on the walls! It does have a bit of a musty smell at first, but it passes! You know it's a local place (which is what we wanted) when they don't have an English menu, but the waiter patiently explained it in English for us. The food was very good, and reasonably priced. I would recommend this place if you want to avoid tourist trap food!

I had an enjoyable menu del dia here! First course came with a gazpacho and buckwheat cream parmesan pasta. Personally not a fan of gazpacho so i cant comment on that but i did enjoy having a healthy and homely buckwheat pasta. For the second course, we ordered a sea bass and chicken/pork schnitzel. The sea bass was nicely grilled but there was too much bones! so it made it difficult to eat. The schnitzel on the other hand had cheese oozing out of it so it was definitely enjoyable. Dessert choices were decent, nothing spectacular. Nonetheless would recommend you to try this place! Turns out that there is a different menu del dia every day so that you won’t be bored of eating here!

Came here on a Thursday night. It was not crowded at all. Ordered different tapas and cava. Everything was delicious and the service was stellar. If you come, spend some time interacting with the workers there. They were super kind and offered great recommendations. The price was a little on the high end for the portions, but the quality was fresh. Really enjoyed our time!

Incredible lunch special deal including wine - even more so given the central location. Friendly professional down to earth service. Small so We were lucky to find a table.
