10/10Our food was so delicious, it was our first meal in Barcelona and boy did we pick the fanciest place in town ( in our opinion). I ate the prawn and monkfish cannoli and the flavours were really really good, I definitely had room to share my daughter’s traditional paella, which was definitely amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and being surrounded by a fabulous ambiance and the night time views were incredible of the city we were yet to explore.

2/10We made this reservations for a special anniversary dinner well in advance, making sure to note that this was a special occasion: confirming twice and asking for a special table. Upon arrival we were asked to step aside and wait to be seated as they lead a very large group into the main restaurant. Then we, along with several other couples, were shown to a back patio behind the kitchen inside a very smelly porch area, which had plastic tarps enclosing the area. As it was raining out, you couldn’t see anything through the plastic, and we were essentially sat inside an ugly tent. An unsmiling and unfriendly waiter proceeded to take away place settings and then handed us menus. We took one look at the overpriced offerings, and finding the smell of mould and rancid wine unpleasant in this garden shed setting, we immediately left. It was a very disappointing annniversary, but once we returned home we saw online that we had escaped what is apparently a tourist trap.

10/10The evening views are incredible, met with the amazing customer service. An intimate venue which made our barcelona trip so special. We were looking for a "special" meal whilst here and it delivered!

9/10The scenery was amazing, and the quality of the Iberian ham and lobster paella was exceptional. I would definitely consider visiting again for dinner in Barcelona.

7.5/10A bit surprising that they haven’t received our reservation, but they really managed it fine and we got at nice table with a nice view. The place might be a bit hyped because of the location, the quality and the price may be a bit out of balance

8/10The service was okay not great. The menu didnt include the desserts or the wine by the glass. The desserts came around in a cart which was nice to see but I would have loved to read about them a bit more. The tune belly salad was amazing, best thing ever! The octopus was okay not great. Some larger pieces quite chewy. The cod tempura bites were very very salty. Okay not great. The wine was very nice and the view was amazing! You come here for the view and ambience. And maybe if we ordered other dishes we would have loved everything we ate. The tune tartar is made at your table and I think it is a crowd pleaser, we wish we would have gotten that OR the beef tartar.

5/10Earlier in the week, I spent time in this restaurant with a group and had a wonderful experience. I was so impressed with the service and food quality, that I decided to bring my wife in for a romantic dinner. The outcome was completely the opposite. Sitting: For starters, my wife and I were sat down in a corner, out of site and subsequently the attention of the waiters. There were plenty of seats closer to the views, we got the worst table for no reason (it literally says sitting is first come first served). Food: My wife's risotto lacked flavor, more specifically salt and other species expected in a Risotto with mushrooms. Mine was fine in flavor but cold. Service: disappointing! We spent 10 minutes with 0 balance in water and drinks with no one around to ask for more. Drastically different from my first visit.

6/10The view is everything. The food is ok, portions are big but some details are not ok for the price (for example the avocado paste in the tuna tartare was not freshly made). Service is sloppy: waiters didn’t know about wine, orders came wrong, the cocktail was with syrup despite we asked for no sugar. The view is stunning and the main reason to go here but the food is too expensive for what you get.

10/10We had a fantastic time here on Saturday night, we had a table at the front with the amazing view and sunset to look at. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and the food was so delicious. Logan made fantastic mojitos for us. We had a very enjoyable experience would definitely recommend. Thank you!

4/10This restaurant has an amazing view and is very formal. The menu was limited, the paella dishes were salty and everything was extraordinarily over priced for the size of the portions and the quality of the food. The staff were still and not welcoming and did not try to engage us at all. Our hotel - Hotel Miramar - recommended it and I fault them as well, it seemed like quid pro quo. I would never suggest someone eat there. The lively Salt at the diving pool next door was the right choice!

7.5/10Lovely setting on the hillside looking over Barcelona. A little disappointed by lack of waiter attentiveness being a high class restaurant. Lack of choice of desserts, all they had was a cake trolley. On the whole the food was excellent. One thing to note was the finicular railway closed at 10pm so we had to walk back down the hill to the nearest Metro station which was quite a walk.
El Xalet de Montjuïc • Owner
Hello Jane! Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review and we are really glad to know that you had a good time at our house. In our desserts trolley we have at least 7 varieties of desserts every day, for future opportunities and in case you do not like any of them, we advise you to ask for our dessert menu. :) We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, The Xalet Team.

8.5/10Quite expensive, but the panoramic view on the city and atmosphere compensate. We liked the octopus and steak. Paella was not the best we tried.
