LOVED this restaurant! The servers were friendly and helpful, the food was fresh and delicious, and the ambience was cosy and welcoming. I’d recommend this place for any occasion; great for a date night, dinner with friends, or to impress your colleagues with a local “hidden gem”.

El Salón offered delicious food and a unique atmosphere. Dishes ordered were grilled sea bass as a main course and a walnut bread with Iberian ham as a starter. Lemon basil sorbet was a lovely dessert to end our meal.. Service was pleasant and courteous. Our only drawback to the evening was not finding it as quickly as we had thought. So from being walking distance from our hotel, we ended up having to resort to taking a cab to get us there. Needless to say we realized it was our fault to because we missed a right turn. This place is a true gem so close to our hotel.

What an amazing restaurant, gorgeous food, attentive waiters, fine wines. Outside looks plain but the inside is very different, with a mix of jazz music, fine food and drink, served by excellent waiters, the food is to die for we both had avocado and anchovies which was delicious, then my wife had the sea bass and I had the squid with black rice both of which were excellent, for desserts we both had the cheesecake. We have eaten all over the world, and I cannot say that I have eaten better food anywhere, even in 5*+ hotels. Go there, eat there,Enjoy good food ..

Tucked away location, this restaurant has it all. The ambience was quaint in a building that was dated back to the early 1700s. the food was delicious and the service was superb. Mark’s linguistic flexibility helped us through the menu where the food was absolutely delicious And the experience was delightful in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

El Salon is a small friendly restaurant with a lovely ambience. We booked this for my husbands birthday and were so impressed that we booked it again for our last night in Barcelona. The staff are both friendly and courteous and the food was excellent, we had the Burata starter with tomatoes and pesto which was delicious and we both had the cod for our main course which was memorable. From our table I could see into the kitchen and was impressed to see the number of dishes being delivered, as the restaurant is small, they have tables in the nearby courtyard. The food style is more bistro than traditional Spanish. Well worth a visit

Lovely venue, great staff, good food. Unfortunately a little salty for me, too much soy, lacking in vegetarian options but we had two fussy teens who weren’t keen on the options. If you are lucky enough to not have fussy eaters (or dietary challenges) I would recommend it.
