La Taverna del Clínic

Everything was amazing. Exceptional dishes, great ambience, fine wine and great service. We tried the 6 dishes experience and each dish was unique and exquisite. Would love to go again and try their bravas from reading the comments. A lovely evening in a wonderful atmosphere.

An Exceptional Culinary Experience! ¡Mil gracias Toni Simoes!!!! La Taverna del Clinic offers an extraordinary dining experience with top-notch cuisine. The menu is original and creative, showcasing high gastronomy with exquisite dishes that highlight the finest ingredients from the countryside. The service is impeccable, with a highly professional team that truly elevates the experience. Each plate is beautifully presented, and the wine selection is perfectly curated to complement the meal. The restaurant’s design exudes class and elegance, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in refined flavors and an elegant setting!

A cozy and intimate restaurant. The entrance is in the alley along the main road, look up and you'll see the banners along it. The food is delicious, but don't expect to choose from a large a la carte menu. Go with the tasting menu, get a glass or two of rioja wine and enjoy your evening. You will leave very full and satisfied and the value for the quality of the meal is outstanding.

Exceptionally good! Tapas with a twist, meticulously executed to truly bring out the flavor profiles. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant doesn’t look like much when you first arrive but the experience transforms as you pass the show kitchen and enter the intimate dining room, filled with artwork and an impressive wine display

What a nice valentines dinner at this lovely restaurant. The venue is very cozy, the service is enchanting. We were served some courtesy entrees. As main dish we had the rabo de toro , was out of this world. Cora de vaca gallegas was amazing, Juicy tasty meat with vegetables. Oysters fresh of the sea A must try the fish and ham croquettes and for the dessert the cheesecake was onpoint Prices match the quality of food, would definitely recommend

My wife, young adult son and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Taverna del Clinic, which lives up to its Michelin designation for good cooking while having an extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive staff. We chose to order a la carte instead of going with the tasting menu, and were very happy with our choices. We did take a good bit of advice from our waiter. For appetizers we had the ham croquettes, the restaurant’s version of potatoes bravas (where you order individual pieces - note that each is a large bit), and shrimp spring rolls. Entrees were seafood paella, baked cod, and a Galician short rib dish. Desserts were chocolate truffles, three cheeses (I asked for the waiter to surprise me with his favorites and was delighted with the cheeses), and profiteroles filled with chocolate sauces that were quite magical. Every single dish was outstanding. We had wine by the glass, following our waiter’s recommendations. As noted it was a wonderful night, and we were thrilled with the restaurant’s ambiance (a bit more of an “upscale casual” vibe), the food, and the quality of service.

This restaurant is always gonna have a special place in my heart, the place is located in Hospital clinic from the outside it’s so average but once you get to see the inside of the restaurant it’s so amazing, we celebrate our birthdays, anniversary here so the reason why we go here all the time is because the food is so good! The presentation of the food, the atmosphere, they also have a great selection of wines, the personal is so professional and attentive. 10/10

Beautiful place with marvelous food, everything was perfect: the famous la taverna bravas, prawn ravioli and mushroom duxelle, morel mushrooms, sea cucumber salad, grilled duck lacquered in orange and curry demiglace, roasted rubia Gallega beef ribs, and boneless shoulder of milk lamb with salsify :)

This place was part of our food tour, and it was probably the best stop! We had several tapas including patatas bravas, smoked mussels, beef tartare sliders, mushrooms, duck and mushroom cannelloni, sorbet for dessert, and endless wine! Each plate was presented beautifully, the flavors were fresh, and my new friends and I were stuffed to the brim after our visit here. This place will probably earn a Michelin star soon, so we're glad we were able to visit before fares get high!

If I could give it 4 1/2 stars I would. I reserve 5 stars for the best of the best and this was not far from it. Great dining experience from beginning to end. We arrived at 8:30 pm in what would be in the US the height of the dining hour. We were the second table seated! Things soon got rolling and by 9:30 it was a packed house. We ordered the 8 course tasting menus which consisted of 2 apps, 5 tasting mains, and dessert. I'd recommend going for the tasting menu and give control to the kitchen.

Well, this was a delightful surprise. You walk in to a fairly nondescript looking restaurant with a long bar and tables - imagine a diner. Walk through the restaurant and go through a doorway and you are in their fine dining section. Would recommend. Modern takes on Spanish classics. The menu has a lot of options and we ended up doing the "gastro" menu which was ideal and gave us a number of small plates exquisitely prepared. Folks. I may have had the best piece of duck in my life here and I eat a lot of duck. Ducks DO NOT LIKE ME! Wine list was solid. Waitstaff was warm, friendly, and helpful. Would gladly go here again.

In a bitter departure from our previous dining experiences in Barcelona, La Taverna del Clinic was a letdown, primarily because of the icy, unkind service. We'd been spoiled by the gracious, generous, and friendly staff we'd encountered at every restaurant before coming here, and it was hard not to take it personally. While the food was good, it was far from the best meal we ate in Barcelona, and I felt like this restaurant was out of touch and past its prime. There are two dining areas in the restaurant: the casual bar you'll see upon first walking in, and the more formal dining room in the back. We ate in the dining room, which had excellent design and some lovely architectural choices, though somewhat randomly curated art. We decided to order all the classics on the menu (these are marked with a symbol indicating such), figuring that we couldn't go wrong with the restaurant's tried-and-true, customer favorite dishes: -The famous and "award-winning" patatas bravas: these were good but honestly tasted like fast food. I'd prefer the classic style over this attempt at avant-garde cuisine -Tripe stew with Provencale-style chickpeas: fine, but not remarkable -Morel mushrooms with foie cream: this was my favorite thing; it's hard to go wrong with morels and not easy to screw them up. This was super rich and flavorful, though fairly heavy -Poached hen's egg with mushrooms, sausage, and shrimp carpaccio: an interesting combo of ingredients (sea, farm, forest), and a pretty preparation, but didn't blow me away -Duck, mushroom, and foie cannelloni: wayyyy too heavy with all the cream; the flavors really got lost in the gloopy sauce -Mi-cuit pâté with caramelized apple and Pedro Ximenez sherry: this was interesting and had lots of intriguing flavors but ultimately tasted a bit too sweet and lost nuance -Pan con tomate: this never arrived and we didn't bother pushing the waitress about it Save your euros and go elsewhere -- there's more artful food to be had in many other Michelin-recognized restaurants in Barcelona, and this ladies-who-lunch and power-brokers-who-wield-cigars crowd does not seem to encourage creativity in the staff. It was stuffy and uninspiring.

Fabulous spot in Barcelona. Everything about the evening es superb. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Atmosphere was relaxed, romantic and sophisticated. Food prepared to perfection. Best dinner we had in Barcelona. Expensive but well worth it.

Tapas + gastro + tasting menu = culinary experience of a lifetime. One of the best things about our trip to Barcelona. Each dish was so inventive and a taste explosion with exquisite presentation. My favorite was the scallops with fois gras and the mushroom "sausage". The waiter warned us that the large tasting might induce "suffering" and even us Americans could not eat all of it though we tried. That is how I like to suffer!

A little gem in the upper heart of Barcelona. Stayed at the hotel U232 (Very Nice Hotel BTW) the concierge recomended this restaurant, wife and I were wearing casual clothes. WHAT? It's super upscale but the waiters were so generous and welcoming they said " No!! Please come in" so it was the best decision we made in Spain!!!! I let the guys choose a medium price wine for us and we ordered appetizers, but that's all we needed. explosion in your mouth!!! (No pun intended) this was top 3 restaurants visited on this 16 day journey of Europe.. GRACIAS SEÑORES!!!

i have mixed feelings about this place. yes, the food was good but it was a bit overwrought - from the pretentious plating to maybe too many ingredients. i mean, everything tasted great & was well prepared but it all felt kind of ridiculous (a vial of olive oil?). also, the service was kind of weird; the woman who seated us & i think was the manager was brusque & distracted & was generally unwelcoming. luckily, the rest of the wait staff were generally warmer. it was a good experience overall but i doubt i'd return.

Despite the owner, for whom a quote in his reservation book worth depending if you're a friend or not, the food cooked by his brother, who learned with the three Michelin stars chef Santi Santamaria, is absolutely wonderful. Here the products used are the most important, extremely fresh and of a great quality. Also has a very nice selections of wines and cheeses.
