Great food, great service. We went on an unusually quiet night but it was a national holiday (Easter Monday)!

I had a reservation that I was reminded of by email several times. When I arrived, the door was locked accidentally. They asked me if I had a reservation, as if I wasn’t expected. The bread was quite hard. The ‘risotto with cheeks’ was excellent. They need to work on their customer relations.

+1The croquettes were magnificent as were the other tapas and the fish mains. Pleased to have picked this out from all the options in Barcelona and will certainly return next time we are in the city.

We booked this restaurant for our New Years dinner, and thought that because of the price, that the food would be amazing and the vibe in the restaurant as well. But sadly we were a bit disappointed. Some of the food was good, but some was a bit boring without taste. When we arrived at 21.00, the music was very very low and the vibe in there just wasn’t like we hoped. It was okay when the DJ started playing at 23.00. The wine was fine, but it wasn’t paired with the food, and the waiters didn’t know what kind of wine they were serving us. The waiters were sweet though!

Th female waitress was rude. No friendly atmosphere. The fish was not cooked thoroughly
Babou-Hotel Vincci GalaDear Baydaa, We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, although we must say that we find your comments quite surprising. Our service is consistently one of the highest-rated aspects of our restaurant, as clearly reflected in the large number of very positive reviews we receive, where guests regularly highlight the friendliness of our staff and the welcoming atmosphere. For this reason, we do not recognize the situation you describe. Regarding the food, we follow strict quality and cooking standards at all times, and we have not received similar feedback about our fish dishes, which makes this comment particularly unexpected. Nevertheless, we appreciate all feedback and remain fully committed to maintaining the high standards that the vast majority of our guests value and trust.

Steaks were not delicious

When we arrived at the restaurant it was empty and freezing cold. They sat us near the front door. We asked to be moved away from the door where it was slightly less cold. The waitress ignored us after that. Even though we had reserved (through the Fork) and it was very early and the restaurant was empty, they ultimately rudely refused to move us. So we left. Would not return.

Very nice experience : the restaurant itself is beautifully furnished and the multiple sofa corners are so comfortable. I tried their "Corazon de Burrata" and it is such a refreshing entrée with sweet accents thanks to the strawberries used. The main dish "Pulpo" was the perfect amount to leave you satisfied while keeping it pleasant. And for dessert, the "Tarta de queso" is such a nice final touch with savory accents brought by the grilled cheese chips put on top. A mention to the staff who were very friendly and suggested the best options on the menu.
Babou-Hotel Vincci GalaHi Anas. Thank you so much for you comment! We're glad to hear you had a positive experience! It will be a pleasure to welcome you again! Best regards from all the Babou Team :)

Very helpful and responsive in organizing a dinner for my friend's birthday. Beautiful interior which made the occasion feel special and great service, really friendly waiters. It was also not very busy on a Tuesday night which we all appreciated.

After mixed (yet great) results previously, we returned with a game-changing approach, five half-dishes for two plus shared dessert. What a transformation! Every single plate was delicious, proving this tapas-style dining plays to the kitchen's true strengths. The beautiful venue impressed even more on our weekend visit. Instead of the standard playlist, a live DJ elevated the already nice atmosphere with perfectly curated music. The half-dish strategy was revelation, each portion showcased creativity and precision the kitchen clearly excels at. No disappointments, just one perfectly executed plate after another. The shared dessert provided a sweet finale to an outstanding meal. The warm, knowledgeable service remained consistent, with staff genuinely passionate about their offerings. Our strong recommendations !

The warm welcome and knowledgeable maître d' set high expectations, and the stunning atmosphere didn't disappoint. Service started strong with prompt drinks and helpful menu guidance. The standout stars were the house-made croquetas with slow-cooked meat and innovative bacalao churros—both exceptional and memorable. However, the experience wavered with mains. While the pulpo with oven-baked potato wedges was solid if unremarkable, the solomillo proved a bit disappointing. Despite clearly requesting "al punto" (medium), it arrived distinctly rare, a fundamental service failure that's particularly frustrating when dining out. A shame that kitchen do not honour the notes given by the waiter. The beautiful setting and excellent starters show real potential, but inconsistent execution in the kitchen undermines what could be a stellar experience. Worth visiting for the atmosphere and creative appetizers, but temper expectations for the main courses.

It was calm and comfy, waiting personnel were all very kind, plating was beautiful and food was tasty. To be honest I told my company I didn't want to eat any more patatas bravas, but when I saw they offered patats bravas mille feuilles, I had to try it. It was a really nice change to the original. One if us took the César salad adaptation and I liked how tender was the chicken! Another person took the pulpo dish and said it felt mushy as opposed to firm they are used to.. I don't eat pulpo so can't really say more. But for me was great especially with the discount through the fork!
