I ate at this restaurant for my third time. It’s been as memorable every time. It’s busy and maybe not the coziest of restaurants, but the food is remarkable and nicely priced. I will definitely go back next time I visit Barcelona.

Great tapas, quick service and always reliable menu. Best to go off hours - 2pm and 9pm will leave you waiting in a long line. They don't close between lunch and dinner which is a great plus.

A wonderful little place with a great tapas selection at the bar and table dining in the back. Good service, good food, good wine list. We go there every time we visit Barcelona

This is a busy, brightly-lit restaurant. We sat downstairs where the tables are quite close together. They serve typical tapas, with lots of seafood. You can admire the seafood on display at the bar as you walk in.
We enjoyed the patatas bravas which came with garlic mayo drizzled on them and accompanied by a spicy sauce. My husband tried the razor clams as he had never had them before. He said they were tasty (if a little chewy). The goat's cheese salad was nice and the garlic prawns delicious. The aubergine chips were ok.
By the time we left people were eating at the bar and there was a long queue so you would be advised to get there early unless you are prepared to wait.
This was a quite expensive meal. Service was fine.
The toilets were not very pleasant.

Ok food, tapas is nothing special unlike what everyone else writes on here. Had plenty better food and service elsewhere in the city (just up the street even at a place called vintu.... Google it yourself). Only place in Barcelona I've felt unwelcome for not speaking Catalan. Had the luxury of being ignored by staff for well over 30 minutes after being very clearly finished with food and drink. During this time we got ample time to observe a dynamic where locals were treated nicer and people who did not speak the language were treated second rate. Staff looked grim and seemed like they wanted to go home. Did I mention that the floor manager took the extra cash I provided to make the spare change easier for them as a tip? Not even in a tourist trap in Rome they will do this. Only bad experience after 4 days in the city. Avoid. Fresh sea food though.
