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.

Came for a quick breakfast and the coffee and croissant & pastry were delicious. Order at the front and pay when you leave.

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!

A real "local" place to eat. The daily menu is 11.95e and you get two tasty dishes, one dessert and one drink. And its really soooo good. I loved the place. The locals dont understand english so prepare yourself with a translator. But its really worth it. You shoud definitely try this place. And yes, the beer is good aswelle

Happy to be squeezed in despite not having a reservation. This place has changed a lot since we last visited over 2 years ago. Much smaller now but still as lovely. The food was as amazing as ever, with a beautiful sausage salad for myself and a stuffed courgette for the wife, followed up with us both plumping for chicken on top of escalivada. Our LO's had penne with ragu which went down very well.

Good for lunch. Traditional Spanish restaurant with fair price. The entrecôte is great 😁 and other food, too. Card only in katalan 😁. Fair price. You should reserve.
