"La Pallaresa is a great place to go for breakfast or an afternoon snack, or churros with “suizo” (melted chocolate with whipped cream) on a quiet weekend morning. It’s in the old Gothic Quarter around the corner from Plaça del Pi, a very cute square where you can sit down and read the newspaper. There are painters showing their work on Sundays, similar to Paris’ Place du Tertre in Montmartre. Photo: Chris Oakley"

THE quintessential churro cafe. Even locals go on Sunday afternoons for churros and chocolate.

Super cool old school looking Pastellaria/Xocolateria. Chocolate is dark and rich but the pastries where honestly a bit underwhelming. the churros is definitely the hot tip. The ensaimaida was pretty dry and flavourless. The service however was excellent. Worth the visit just for the decor and service if nothing else. Also one of the only cafes in the old quarter with any authentic character these days!

Ordered churros, SMALL chocolate and small coffee with milk. I was charged for chocolate I didn’t order. The same person took my order, served them and charged me, so I don’t think this was a mistake. Should check the bill carefully before you tap your card.

Really disappointing. The churros barely had any crisp, they were probably sitting out for a while. As for the chocolate, it might have looked really thick but it tasted like water. It seemed like a popular place with locals so we wonder if they watered down our chocolates because we’re tourists, hopefully not. The service is also quite poor, the waiters rush you even when it’s not busy. I spoke Spanish to them and he always replied in English. Wouldn’t recommend this place unfortunately

A must try. The Churros were perfect, hot, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, not greasy and not too sweet. Churros without eggs were the brownie point. The hot chocolate dip lacked a little sugar, but rest was all good

Their churros were lovely, they were hot and crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Not greasy at all. 🙂 However the molten chocolate dipping sauce wasn’t as good as it looked. I was after a luxuriously rich chocolate sauce, but I was disappointed by a bland, tasteless version. 🙁

We saw this place multiple times on social media and decided to try it ourselves. We made the right decision, as the churros were extremely tasty. The place is quite small, and at the time we were there it was completely packed. We tried the hot chocolate too and it was great (dark chocolate most probably). The place was very well maintained, neat and clean. The staff is kind and very busy at all times. 100% recommended.

The chocolate is rich, but lacks a tad of sugar, but that's just my personal preference. The churros are only lightly sprinkled in sugar (I wish there was more sugar), not oily at all and nicely crunchy. Not the best I've had but pretty good

Best churros & hot chocolate in Barcelona. Their hot chocolate is a bit bitter more like hot dark chocolate which I like!
