Nice setting and atmosphere. Reasonably priced but the most important thing…the food is very average. We also had to send a fish main course back to the kitchen twice as both were undercooked, to the point of being cold to the touch in the middle. How they managed to do it twice is beyond me.

The ambiance is good, food is wonderful. Service was quick but timely. The wine options are good. Hope to eat there again when I visit Barcelona.

Wonderful building, creating a special atmosphere. Very knowledgable bar staff, great table service. We had the ribeye and the rack of lamb, both were cooked perfectly. The cheeseboard to finish was lovely and great value.

I’ve dined at Arcano before and was so impressed with the excellent food that I chose it to host a dinner for 12 customers on my recent trip to Barcelona. The evening was fantastic and everyone commented on how lovely the food was. Highly recommended for great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

We chose Arcano for the ambiance and rating on TripAdvisor. I’m pretty sure most of the reviews are AI bots, judging by the service and good quality and seeing the reviews are coming from “people” with only 1 or 2 Lifetime contributions. It took a very long time. Cheese plate starter was the worst one we had during our entire trip and the most expensive, the fruit and quince sides served with it seemed of poor quality. Steak was not cooked correctly. Service was very slow. I know it could be good and seemed like they’re trying, almost feels like they got popular and busy way too fast and not able to keep up.

We enjoyed a lovely evening at Arcano. The ambience was excellent and the food (we both had the salmon) was really good. Our server was attentive and pleasant. No complaints at all, would definitely recommend

Cold mash potatoes twice, although we mentioned it. The plate we the roasted vegetables very unflavored and unseasoned. I really can’t understand all the hype. Don’t waste your time if you are a foodie like us

The puerco was amazing. Found the tenderloin to be a bit tough. Service was outstanding.

The atmosphere is very pleasant and quiet, all the waiters are very kind and speak several languages (I've been served by 3 in total!), the food was very tasty with a well prepared mixtures of textures. The servings are small, don't expect to get up like after a pasta or pizza meal, or even kebab and fries of the corner, but if you want to enjoy real chef grade food, that's the place.

Absolutely top class, from the minute you arrive you are made to feel truly welcome. Our waiter was very very helpful explaining each dish as it arrived, the food was out of this world, so delicious, portion sizes were spot on and we could not be any happier. Prices were very reasonable considering it was, in my opinion borderline Michelin. Would go back in a flash, if I didn’t live in England.
