excellent food I haven't had a thing on the menu I didn't like so far the arugula, gorgazzola and pear salad is delicious. The monkfish on a skewer as well as the salmon were all standouts

El Salon Still Remains my favorite restaurant in Barcelona, with dishes like arugula salad with pears and Buffalo mozzarella Gorgonzola and tomato stuffed salmon, and lamb with red wine reduction...all delicious. There are still many other dishes I want to try. They change their menu often but keep the famous staples. the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. even the little sofa and chairs at the entrance is a great place to sit and have pre-dinner cocktails. the fact that they're open early is a bonus too it gives you the whole night to go out and explore

My wife and I have been in Europe (Portugal and Spain) for a week. This was, by far, the best meal we have had this week. Flavor and quality of the food was excellent.

The dishes were all excellent, well presented with a twist of originality in the flavours. I loved the relaxed setting, with smooth jazz music playing in the background. Friendly service, very reasonable prices for the quality, I think I found one of my new favourite restaurants 😊

The ambiance was quite welcoming, everything from the perfect level of the jazz playing to the staff was cool and comfortable. The food was a perfect match for the atmosphere, fine dining in a home like atmosphere. My wife and I loved it! The Fork has never steered me wrong!

It was a dinner for two. We had mushroom risotto and prawn tagliatelle as starters. For the main, we had swordfish carpaccio and stuffed chicken breast. All dishes were incredibly good especially the chicken breast. Highly recommended!
