9.5/10One of the first spots we've eaten at in Barcelona that genuinely cared about your experience and we’ve been here for two weeks. All the food was flavorful and the flavors were unique! Robert made some fantastic suggestions including the tiny clams and the pulpo a la gallega. Would definitely go back!

8.5/10Do not be fooled by the restaurant's surroundings. This little gem is tucked away in a quiet street, away from the tourist traps. Robert, the owner, will welcome you with a warm smile and the lovely staff will make you feel at home. If Spanish is not your forte, Robert does speak English which helps in understanding their menu. The pan con tomate was good, along with the delicious, well seasoned coquinas. The iberico ham was a bit thick for our taste, but we still ate it all! The breaded cabrito was nothing special. However, their other dishes looked delicious. Overall, it was a great experience. We would definitely go back on our next trip to Barcelona. Reservations recommended. Kudos to Robert and his team! Cal Robert is definitely a restaurant you cannot miss.

10/10We were in Barcelona for 5 days and this was our favorite stop. We were warmly greeted and helped through the menu with explanations of the dishes and preparation. Our host made us feel at home while we dined, and the food was fantastic. Fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

10/10One of my favorite restaurants out of many on a two week visit to Spain. Astoundingly good food and incredibly friendly service. A family restaurant that makes you feel like you've been invited into their home.

9/10I’ve been to Barcelona 3 times and I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone be so committed to our experience like Roberto was! He took his time with us and told us that if she didn’t like any of the food he would gladly change it. He made sure that we left with the best positive experience and that we did! Thank you Roberto! You were fabulous.

10/10We chose this restaurant from on-line reviews and liked it very much. Small and cozy, very authentic. The owner, Robert, did an excellent job of explaining the menu and guided us though our selections. Food was very tasty, especially enjoyed the small clams. I would highly recommend it.

8.5/10I didn't have a nice experience with the food I ordered, but for my bf it was good, I ordered lamb ribs and got also fries with, but I couldn't even taste the meat, only the bread crumbs and oil and it was the same with the fries, just to oiled. They were nice, but I don't want to go back again.

10/10All was perfect ! The Catalan food is amazing and Robert, the owner is passionate by what he proposes. We spent a great evening on the terrace enjoying a good white wine and tasting a lot of delicious tapas prepared with local ingredients and passion! Robert explained the full menu in French and it was even a plus because we knew more before choosing. The atmosphere is also perfect in a small street of Barcelona on a beautiful terrace. If you want to add a great souvenir to your trip in Barcelona, go there ! .

10/10The best Paella I've had in Barcelona! The owner was very kind and explained ALL the menu in detail which help us to choose the entries and main dish, also it was a fair price for the food quality. I strongly recommend the restaurant and I'll return for sure on my next trip to Barcelona.

4.5/10Service began extremely well, first few dishes were excellent (chorizo dish / octopus dish( final dish (T-Bone steak) came out cold and asked for it to be warmed up, this seemed to upset the waiter and service became a problem

10/10Truly fantastic food and dining experience. The owner not only promptly greeted our party of four at 8:30 pm but was jovial and thoughtful, checking with our preferred language(s), and food and drink preferences. He carefully explained additions to the already-extensive and varied menu. (One of us has a shellfish allergy.) We ordered 8 exceptional tapas dishes—do not miss the bonbas, stuffed ravioli, jamón ibérico, mousse de capuchino. One side note is that that this is a small venue with limited and close seating. Local, limited wine list.

8.5/10Good service: attentive and fast. Robert knows his trade. The food is to the point, well cooked and well served, with must try dishes: the "croquetes" were superb, and the pork with pepper and sauce very good. The traditional meatballs were light and tasty. The light part is hard to achieve. Worth coming back.

8/10The owner of the restaurant is very helpful and nice but unfortunately I did not enjoy the food. I asked for a medium steak and it was dry. It just wasn’t very good the food itself. The ambience and the service I would recommend.

9.5/10Robert was welcoming and very kind to us, explaining all dishes in french and making sure we were having a great time! The food is very good, we were particularly fond of the Galician style octopus (perfect cooking and seasonings) which was by far the best thing we ate in Barcelona. We had a nice chat and he suggested to call him if we wanted to come again to eat Paella, which we did without any regrets!
