L'Antic Forn

Overall, not bad at all — the beef cheeks were absolutely excellent! The tuna salad and soup were more on the average side, and the house wine… well, let’s just say it could use a little more inspiration. But still, a nice stop if you’re hungry and curious.

It’s a hidden little gem that is not so hidden - I would not have thought to go into this place other than because the local I was with recommended it - and god did it come through. You must try the chicken, it’s absolutely beautiful. The lamb chops were not big enough in my opinion but still they tasted very good. The one thing I was looking forward to trying was the rabbit, but unfortunately they didn’t have it… give it a try! Def recommended.

I visited L'antic Forn on a rainy day. The reason for my visit was to try Calçotada, a dish only available in winter. It's located about 300 meters inside from the main street of La Rambla. Weekday evenings start at 7:30 PM. The restaurant was clean and many guests were already dining. I ordered Calçotada and steak. Calçotada tastes like grilled Korean green onions, with the sweetness and texture of onions being exceptional. It's served with Romesco sauce, which enhances the sweetness. Paired with a red wine recommended by the staff, the wine was also excellent and I was able to finish dinner successfully. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Barcelona."

I really wanted to try calcotada after seeing Anthony Bourdain talking about it in one of his shows, so when I was doing research this was the one place serving it in Barcelona. Came during lunch hour without a reservation and they were super accommodating even though they were full so we were able to sit and order the famous calcotada, which is in every way delicious and worth coming to try it. The service here was obviously fantastic. I wish I had more time to come back and actually try the food because it look really good. Will def come back next time I am in Barcelona!

My husband and I had lunch at this lovely traditional Spanish restaurant and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and felt very authentic. Everything we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty food and a great dining experience!

Best meal in our honeymoon Service was very nice Recommend this place

The food was good, but the service wasn't perfect - we asked if they have sangria de vino blanco but got another version of sangria instead. Patatas bravas, fried squid, cuttlefish and oxtail ragú were tasty. We tried crema Catalana for dessert for the first time and didn't like it that much, but the taste was what we expected.

Very nice and tidy restaurant. Waitress was so pleasant and helpful. Their specialty - calçots were delicious and served quickly. The Paella and croquettes were exquisite as well. We were all absolutely satisfied with the whole experience. Gem of a restaurant just 5 minutes off La Rambla. Worth visiting.

If you want to eat tasty calçotada, try this place!. Lamb was also delicious. Highly recommended!

Happened by this wonderful place one day in 2023 and had an amazing lunch with my husband. The food, especially the artichokes, was wonderful. Service was attentive. Wine was awesome. We ate on the sidewalk under an umbrella while people watching. We are returning in April 2025 with our friends and will definitely return to this amazing restaurant.

That day,we found a wonderful little restaurant with an nice atmosphere to have a dinner for two. We were a bit late (22.00h), thats why we got a good table in the main room of the restaurant, that is splitted into two levels. Waitress was very friendly and the variety of food is good. We ordered fish and this was perfect cooked. Recognized only foreign people and no spanish guests. Prices are moderate.

Authentic Mediterranean cuisine to its finest. If you closed your eyes while eating their grilled vegetables dish, it felt like you were at La Fontana di Trevi. Their Cava sangria was simply amazing. The homemade zucchini ravioli were phenomenal. And, let's just say there was the shape of a smile left on the plate after the Sole special was finished. It is somewhat of a little hole in the wall that one should not miss out on. The service always has a smile on their face and do not push you out the door.

Fantastic! It is located on a small side street off of Los Rambles. The atmosphere is tremendous, we sat outside and it was perfect. The food and the service was first class. It is definitely worth stopping by to enjoy the atmosphere and the food.
