This place earns every accolade it receives on trip advisor! The owners were warm and welcoming and the food delicious. We were so thrilled we got in twice! It is a busy place and you are wise to make a reservation before your trip. It will be our first stop when we return to Barcelona. Casual, interesting and varied menu... More

Great place, loved every aspect of it. Fantastic cocktails and just by taste you can tell the dishes have truly quality ingredients. Only one let down was they charged for table water. The staff were so friendly. Will definitely go back!!

Having read such great reviews we reserved a table for ten during our weekend visit to Barcelona. The blueberry mojitos did not disappoint but we waited a long time for these. Likewise it took ages for water to be delivered to our table. The food, although fresh and tasty but quite salty, took a very loooong time to be served.... More

We came here as part of my best friend's hen do as I wanted something classy and elegant with a real insight into great local food in Barcelona. Ruben, the incredibly handsome owner, couldn't do enough to help us 13 girls and was a godsend when I planned the event from Blighty, answering my emails swiftly. It's a small place... More

A beautifully and professionally crafted experience inconspicuously placed away from the tourist trail, and run by attentive and pleasant staff. Eating at Cera 23 was a delight that we will definitely be repeating when we return to Barcelona. The food was indescribably delicious! I had the moist tuna steak with sweet potato mash which was mouth wateringly presented and washed... More

Without doubt, the best cocktails with heaps of tasty fruit and beautifully presented. We sat drinking and watched a master at work. Our meals was great. Perfectly cooked. The place is small and you do virtually sit one foot away from your neighboring diners which works in this happening joint. The poor girl next to me had the same duck... More

A group of us had dinner here on Saturday night for a friends birthday. It was buzzing when we arrived but despite being so busy the staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to chat and engage. The food was great (tempura prawns for starter were excellent) with a reasonably priced wine list. It specializes in berry... More

Behind the panoramic glass doors at Carrer de la Cera number 23, you find restaurant Cera 23 – the most FANTASTIC restaurant in Barcelona. Already by the first step into the restaurant I was drawn by the friendly and very authentic Spanish-Galician atmosphere. The bartenders behind the chic bar, the staff and the open kitchen were inviting me in with... More

I recently came back to this fabulous restaurant in the heart of Barcelona. I saw an advertisement on facebook that they are open at noon so I decided to try their luch menu. My partner and I really enjoyed it. Their lunch menu items around 15€ are much higher quality than other options in the city. I hope that you... More
