Jansana is a 100% gluten-free bakery based in Barcelona, I was excited to try this place after hearing great things from fellow coeliacs and Yelpers, but my experience left a lot to be desired, I'm not sure if they were having a bad day, but my experience wasn't up to scratch.
I spent a few minutes looking at the menu before realising it didn't match what was displayed on the counter, the staff member then told me that they don't have the menu on the board during summer - which seemed rather odd. She talked through what they had, but she spoke so fast, I just got lost. While I appreciated that she could communicate in English, I still felt lost.
I ended up going for the ham and cheese empanada, it was reheated in the microwave at the back of the store. I did find it strange how the kitchen/reheating area was not at the front, so the staff member had to walk down the restaurant, through the seating area, and then to their staff area, surely to have it all in one place would make it easier for them and service quicker?
The food was just so dry, that I felt like I needed a drink in order to digest it, the portion of ham and cheese also seemed to be light, and there was a lot of room in the pastry, for more and it didn't taste good at all. The pricing for what it was, was also a little high. I probably ended up leaving half of it.
There are a lot of improvements I'd make mainly having a menu guests can read at their leisure to explain the products, making it clear, and working on the actual quality. 2*
